Title: e107 bridge
Post by: tbobker on April 06, 2007, 03:52:03 PM
Is the e107 bridge as easy to install as joomla? and does it still integrate the smf forum directly as a module like joomla?

I have smf in a directory off the root, so when i install e107 in the root is there a way to still redirect to the smf forum until i get e107 ready?

e107 modules require that you upload the contents of the module to the e107_modules folder, and then install the module in the e107 admin panel, so not quite the same as Joomla.

Yes.

You can probably set up an index.html with a meta redirect in it.

Did you install and configure the bridge module in the e107 admin panel?

Did you get the absolute path to SMF correct in the bridge module config?

as i understand the smf forum folder have to be in the smfbrigde plugin folder in e107 otherwise it will always go to the smf.php

also a question, in e107, the bridge plugin shows there is a upgrade available :P

The smf.php is the bridge.  If you are not at the smf.php, you are not using the bridge.

The plugin is not the forum.  You need to enter the absolute path to the forum.

Can I see the URL?
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 01, 2007, 07:55:07 AM
On this moment it don't wrap at all, when i click the form i only see this :  <link rel="contents" href="http://www.mab
unwrapped works perfectly!

This is the URL:  http://www.mabaji20.dyndns.org

And thanks for your quick reaction!

Thanks.  It looks like you are running out of RAM on the page load.  For e107 and SMF, you should bump up the PHP RAM to 32MB.

Add this to your .htaccess:

php_value memory_limit 32M

Post by: olden on June 01, 2007, 06:46:34 PM
Hi thank you for your reply! but can you also tell me where i can find the .htaccess, i can't find it!
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: Orstio on June 01, 2007, 06:57:48 PM
If there isn't one, you'll need to create it.

Just create a text file, with that line in it, and save it as .htaccess.  Some text editors won't let you save it that way, which is fine -- just save it as htaccess.txt, and then after uploading it to your site, rename the uploaded file to .htaccess.

And where must i put that file? in the direct. of smf ?
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: Orstio on June 01, 2007, 07:18:03 PM
You'd be best to put it in your e107 root folder.
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 01, 2007, 07:20:47 PM
Thank you again! i go try it!

Post by: olden on June 01, 2007, 07:31:05 PM
I have done like you tell me! but i see no changes! when i click the forum everything looks well, but when i go in the forum it is not wrapped!
Maybe you have other suggestions? i like to here them!

Anyway thanks for your replys!

It doesn't seem to have worked -- the forum is still not loading completely for me and the code is being cut off as if the RAM is exhausted.

You may need to contact your host to get the RAM bumped up to 32MB.
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 01, 2007, 07:44:52 PM
My site in on my own server! so that is no problem, but i don't know how i can the RAM bumped up to 32MB?

Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: Orstio on June 01, 2007, 10:09:56 PM
In php.ini search for "memory_limit = 8M" and replace it with  "memory_limit = 32M".
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 02, 2007, 09:24:26 AM
Hi Orstio, thanks for your reply! i have replace the memory_limit to 32M in the php.ini but still get the same results! When i click the forum everything looks well, but when i go in the forum it is not wrapped!

Do you think i can do enything more to fix it?

Regards Jan.

You may need to restart Apache after making changes to php.ini.

Let's solve this memory issue before we start worrying about databases, OK?

You are sure that your php.ini is now set to 32M, and you have restarted Apache?
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 03, 2007, 08:38:35 AM
When i restart my server i think Apache is restarting to? and i'am sure the php.ini is fixed with 32M!
Here is the example!
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 30     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60   ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: Orstio on June 03, 2007, 08:47:51 AM
OK, try changing it to 64M, and see if it makes any difference at all.

Post by: olden on June 03, 2007, 08:51:49 AM
Ok i do that! i let you know!

I want to see if any of the javascript-heavy modules you have installed in the sidebars are the cause of the memory shortage.

What did you use as your path to SMF in the bridge config in the e107 admin panel?
Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: olden on June 04, 2007, 04:38:36 AM

Title: Re: e107 bridge
Post by: Orstio on June 04, 2007, 06:23:44 AM
And there's your second problem.

A path is not a URL.

To find your path to SMF, go to your SMF admin panel, and click on "Server Settings".

Near the bottom of the page, you will find the path to SMF in the text field labelled "SMF Directory".  Copy it from there, and paste it into your bridge config.

As a side note, in your php.ini, you may want to change the value of allow_url_fopen to Off.  That being set to On is a security issue.

I have change the path! but now it don't work like before! i have change with several themes but it don't looks goord!

Wrapped/unwrapped is only a visual difference, it has nothing to do with whether or not the forum is integrasted.  The forum is integrated via the module regardless of whether it is set to wrapped or unwrapped.
