I am very new at this. I feel mighty proud that I got Mambo and SMF installed with separate databases, then installed the Mambo Bridge and actually have it working!
I have one question. The size of the login module changes slightly when I switch from Mambo to the Forum. I actually like the size better when the forum is active. When it's not active, normal text is slightly larger than anything else on the screen. Do I need to edit a CSS file somewhere?
There are a few ways to do this.
The method most often suggested is to copy your SMF CSS file into your Mambo CSS file, and then search the new file for duplicate entries, and delete the one you do not want. Once that is done, copy the contents of that new file into your SMF CSS as well, so that both CSS files have the same contents.
I thought it might be something like that. Thank you!
i have done this before and it takes some effort on your part. however, when you use another theme, do you have to do this for each theme you have? i assume the answer is yes, right?
When you want to edit the mambo login mod go to /modules/smf_mod.php and there you can edit the login. I think you must look for a width value and enter a static value(egwidth="196").
The css for smf is comfortable to edit with the admin panel. The mambo template is in templates/yourTheme/index.php
Btw the bridge i use needs smf and mambo in same database.
