Xoops Bridge Beta 2

[benbu75]

What version of Xoops are you using?  It says 2.0 in the footer

Version is 2.0.16

[broham]

The Xoops theme you are using is not a free download, so I can't offer to install it on my site to see if it looks the same with the forum or not.  Sorry.
I do think you should alter the background color of the smf default theme's style.css to transparent though.  The rest of the problem probably lies with your Xoops theme.  How do other modules display in the main content area? I only see the forum available.
Good luck.

i'm sorry but now the bridge works now?

[benbu75]

Well, I did a little work on the appearance, and I have the module centered in the window now, and I took your advice and set the background to transparent, and that fixed that issue, but I am still having problems with everything else (text size, color, alignment, etc).  The problem, I think, is that if I just remove those properties from the CSS for SMF it will mess up the appearance of the forums.  I did get another theme for the forums that will go well with the xoops theme, but now I am getting this message again:

An Error Has Occurred!

Meaning I am, once again, unable to log into my forums and alter any settings there

well, it doesnt seem to be working for me, which means I may have to can either Xoops or SMF in order to find a combination that does work.  My coding ability is not nearly developed enough to figure this out alone.

Go to your stand alone forum (not through the Xoops module).

Login and go to the admin panel.

Click on "Server Settings".

What is the value in the field labelled "enable local storage of cookies" ?

Also note, if you have the same cookie name in SMF as in your Xoops, this may occur, as I have experienced.  Whether that makes sense or not, Xoops and SMF cannot have the same cookie name. 
No cookie name at all in SMF will also make that happen.

Be careful with straying from the default theme. 
This may be of some use for changing some basic stuff in the smf css:

I cannot get this to work. I spent alot of the day going thru all the different info and settings with no luck. I went thru all the different settings by broham three times on two installs of xoops, smf & the bridge.

The first install was Smf hxxp:1.1.3.zip [nonactive] with all the above.
The second was Smf hxxp:1.1.2.zip [nonactive] the forum works fine on both versions in stand alone mode on both installs but when xoops wraps it I get a blank page.


Settings inside smf bridge/module

PHP version 4.4.2
MySQL version 4.1.22-standard

Currant Install Setup
XOOPS hxxp:2.0.16.zip [nonactive]
Smf_1.1.2.zip
Smf bridge 1.1 beta hxxp:2.zip [nonactive]


When I rap the smf forum inside of the smf module/bridge it goes blank.

When I turn off the smf wrapper it go straight to the forums.

Have I missed something?

I must say im confused...

[script_fu]

I do have an error when trying to log into the smf block thru xoops.

Does your SMF database user have access to your Xoops database?  Does your Xoops database user have access to your SMF database?

[script_fu]

I set this up with two seperate MySQL databases. One for Xoops and one for Smf. Both databases share the same user in the MySQL account maintenance thru my cpanel. 


Is this what you are asking about?

Edit: Spelling issues...

[script_fu]

Also I have the same user account and password on both xoops and smf.

How do I make sure they both have access and where?
