Customizing SMF > Joomla Bridge Support

Joomla/SMF: Login Integration Fine, but 404's in SMF...

(1/3) > >>

Greetings,

I have been fighting this all day.  I am working with a very recent install of Joomla/SMF 1.0.5, trying to get the integration worked out before offering content to either location.  The Joomla/SMF bridge works  -- I log in via Joomla and my SMF forum appears to open.  I get the "Welcome" message with my name, etc. etc., it shows the no. of registered users, the no. of posts, even the name of the last post and date/time of the latest post.  However, when I access SMF via Joomla like this (via either Wrapper or unwrapped), all the links in the forum provide 404 errors.  Joomla is installed into the main directory of the site (not a subdirectory).  My SMF forums are installed in a subdirectory and can be accessed directly by bypassing Joomla (http://common.t2forums.com [nofollow]), and those links all work just fine.  However, the page that Joomla's login leads to (http://t2forums.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=27& [nofollow]) provides the main SMF page with no working links.  Not to mention, that the second link I provided here can be accessed directly, which seems odd (doesn't it?) if it is supposed to be linked to via Joomla's login.  I suppose I was hoping for an integration where it wasn't possible to just be able to access it from some back-end link somewhere, without logging in first.

Have I missed something?   ???

Thanks in advance, SMF is great, and I can't wait to be able to take full advantage of its capabilities, as soon as I get the kinks ironed out!

The same thing happens with every SEF link on your homepage:

http://t2forums.com/index.php

When you enable SEF in Joomla, you need to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

This is odd, as the .htaccess file in the directory is not .htaccess.txt.  I wonder if it is a problem to disable this.  I really want visitors coming to this site from its parent site, as opposed to search engines, anyway. . . . .   This is just odd!  Thanks for your insight as to what the problem is, although I'm just not seeing it in the server.  I will re-upload the file and ensure it doesn't have .txt at the end, although currently on the server, is is just .htaccess (when all other files show the file extension at the end).

Orstio:
The file is probably currently named:

htaccess.txt

it needs to be named:

.htaccess

notice the dot at the beginning.

Wow, what a moron I am!  I didn't even notice that. 

Thanks!!   ;D
