I have installed the latest mambo and SMF 1.1.4 All looks real good so far. The only problem is that when you register from mambo it uses the mambo registration if you try to register from SMF it uses the bridge regisration. This is probably something that I am overlooking here. I am not real familiar with mambo. I have read the faq sticky and all that and think I have done it right. Any hints from anyone. ???
Figured it out. :)
What was the solution?
For the life of me I cannot remember what I did to sort it out. I will take a look at my board and see if I can remember. Sorry I should have posted what I did when I did it. :(
Set the bridge to use Mambo default registration instead of bridge registration.
I have a few teething troubles.
Mambo: 4.6.2
SMF: 1.1.4
Bridge: smf_1-1mambo_4-6_bridge_1-1

SMF Bridge Component:
Mambo/Joomla Registration
Forum is wrapped in Mambo template.
Registration from website appears to work correctly.
However, if new user submits a username already in use they are sometimes redirected to the standalone SMF registration page.
Using the standalone SMF registration does not result in the new user being applied to Mambo.
Unfortunately another error has cropped up.
From the main website, entering the wrapped forum, "Welcome guest please login or register"
Register goes to the Mambo registration.
Login goes to the SMF login and from here the user is logged into the forum but not into Mambo
And another...
It seems as if the SYNCH function in Component > SMF Bridge > Configuration is malfunctioning.
Migrate SMF users to Mambo/Joomla produces a list of users supposedly migrated to mambo, but none of them appear in mambo admin Site > User Manager and of course a login through the website for any of these users supposedly migrated fails.
Does your SMF database user have access to your Mambo database?
Ooops, a silly error on my part. I should have remembered that.
Thank you Orstio.
Would this perhaps explain why I have been unable to get anything but Mambo registration to work?
mod_smf_login appears to have more flexibility as obviously I'd like a user to remain in the area of the website from which they login.
Currently when a user logs in via the wrapped SMF login button, they are taken to the main website homepage.

It explains all of the problems you posted above.

The login redirect uses the mod_smf_login parameters, regardless of whether or not you are using the mod_smf_login module.
Thank you.
