Hallo, I have smf 1.1.2 and Joomla Bridge 1.7
I have moved server.
Now:
1) The bridge does not bridge
2) The registration images with the scrambled letters does not show.
Is there a way one can re-install the bridge?
Make sure the path in your Bridge configuration is properly set.
It is proparly set. But i see that if i want to sync the smf users to joomla, it does not want to "SAVE." If I then check the users in joomla, the smf users has not been imported. Is there a way one could REFRESH / REINSTALL the bridge?
Sure, uninstall, then reinstall, but I doubt that will solve the problem. Can you provide a link to your site?
Sure, www.truthexposed.co.za. I've just upgraded to smf 1.1.3, but that did not solve the problem.
Is there no danger in uninstall and reinstall?
Make sure your Joomla database and SMF database users have access to each others databases.
It looks bridged to me...

OK, i have changed my registration to bridge registration. It seems to work better, but lets say I want to delete a user. Do I delete it from smf or joomla. Deleting it from smf does not delete it in joomla.
You should be deleting from the wrapped SMF.
If deleting a user from the wrapped SMF does not work, that is a good indication that your SMF database user does not have access to your Joomla database.
Where can that be fixed?
(I do have seperate databases for joomla and smf)
What control panel has your host provided for you?
I work with phpmyadmin.
Is the only way that the bridge could work that it has to use the same database?
You can't assign user permissions in PhpMyAdmin.
What control panel has your host provided for you? Is it cPanel? Plesk? DirectAdmin?
Might be cpanel (?)
It is hosted with webafrica (cp.glodns.net)
What need to be done? Can the bridge work if i work with 2 separate databases for joomla and smf?
it will only work with 2 separate databases if both of the database users have access to both of the databases.
If you do not have Cpanel as a control center, there is a good chance that you may have to use one database for both smf and joomla.
OK, but what needs to be done tecnically to give both database users access to both databases?
I might be able to get help from my service provider.
yuo need to give the smf database user full rights to the joomla database and vice-versa.
This is as simple as a drop down in Cpanel and moderately impossible in some of the other control panels.
