Bridge Xoops-SMF 1.1 RC3 Beta 1

[charpress]

Thanks, that was it. There was a slight difference in the absolute address used by the forum.

Hi,
I just installed bridge, and getting error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/tgotch/public_html/class/smarty/plugins/resource.db.php on line 69
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: rand_code in file modules/smf/index.php line 82
Notice [PHP]: Constant SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS already defined in file modules/smf/index.php line 72
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: rand_code in file modules/smf/index.php line 82

Any advice?

The absolute path to SMF shouldn't be the path to the module, it should be the path to where you installed the forum.

[tgotch]

Not sure I understand.

I installed smf to under modules/smf
I have my absolute path set to:
/home/tgotch/public_html/modules/smf

Did I install incorrectly?

[Orstio]

/home/tgotch/public_html/modules/smf

modules/smf is where the module should be.  You should not install SMF there.

Hi Orstio, I've wanted to use SMF with XOOPS for years, I just wanted to thank you for your work so far on this!

[X-Ception]

anychance a moderator could stick this topic, please.

To configure the bridge module:

Go to your Xoops admin panel.  Hold your mouse over the SMF icon.  This should bring up a popup menu.  Click on "Preferences". 

Enter the absolute path to SMF in the textbox, and click Save.

This will tell Xoops where you have installed SMF.

Sorry, but I can't find this.  Admin, modules, then?

[Orstio]

How far are you?  Have you already installed the module?

[mrandall131]

Yes, I installed the module, and then back to the module page again.

[edit]
Found it. 

[X-Ception]

Yes, I installed the module, and then back to the module page again.

Module => SMF => Prefs
or
Module +> Administration
click the SMF module logo.

Hey,

Don't mean to be a pain, but I'd love to get updated files for more testing.
Hope you have the chance to work on it.

Cheers.

Give em time, im sure he will come up with something soon, yet to be let down by the SMF team, well actually once, no xmas card but otherwise

I have updated the package in the first post. 

The fix for the unwrapped pages brings up an interesting question:

In Mambo/Joomla, it is fairly common to have an "unwrapped" forum, which still loads through the CMS, but displays the forum as if it were stand alone.  Would this also be desirable in Xoops?

[Lance_]

Of course, my preference is that I can have inside xoops and not have it look standalone.

I am testing all and will post at some time my observations. I'm sure a few of the ones I've seen so far are attributable to the sessions problem.

Thanks for the work.

Cheers.

wrapped, unwrapped both options work for myself, depends on the kind of site im working on at the time

So it may be wise to include this as an option?
