Customizing SMF > Mambo Bridge Support
Mambo SMF Bridge 1.1.1
alphagator:
nevermind.
After a full day of getting no input on multiple boards I had my host restore database to the 18th and whiped SMF off my website.
If i had even a hint that installing SMF into the same database as Mambo and bridging the two would totally hose all my Mambo user accounts I never would have tried this.
Thanks anyway, but this software is not for me.

sorry to hear that....
I had personal things to take care of today...
but, as a matter of information, you did not need to sync the mambo/smf users... they would be synced at the first login with the bridge. Also, did you read: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=199761.msg1269960#msg1269960

Just wanted to get back to you Kindered.
I had my web host restore database and cleared up the problem with corruoted user accounts in Mambo. I then went over the steps to set up and bridge SMF, one by one to aviod the same problem again.
This time I synched users from Mambo to SMF but not from SMF to Mambo. It seemed to work OK. No issues with Mambo users account corruption UNTIL, I noticed users registering in Mambo were not getting auto synched by the system after registering. I also noticed that some users were registering on the forum when I had Bridge set for Mambo registration.
This caused mis matched user accounts with access to one side or the other.
Like an idiot I synched from SMF to Mambo to bring the SMF users over to Mambo and THAT corrupted my Mambo users again. Once again any attempt to change any atribute or password for a Mambo user get this message

Once again I am having my hosting service restore database to yesterday to hopefully fix this user account corruption.
I would like to find out how I can assure users can only register on mambo side and get synched autiomaticaly to SMF.

Im curious that if I did not need to sync Mambo and SMF users, why did none if the Mambo users migrate into SMF or vice versa? I set the Bridge to register via Mambo, but users are still registering in SMF and the accounts on both sides are not synching on their own.
what am i missing?

alphagator,
Sorry for the long delay....
I would suggest using the BRIDGE registration function and the BRIDGE login module...
I am unsure of the status on the bridges these days... but the FAQ post that I linked to has all of the details on how I previously set up my systems to work together.
Once 2.0 final is out, we will be having a developer re-start on the bridges/integrations and things should be cleaner.
