I'm still running with an older version of Joomla and using the bridge. I've been searching for a solution for months now but haven't really come up with anything useful.
A bridge isn't even required in my case. I don't have Joomla users and a working Wrapper would actually be the easiest way for me to move on. Unfortunately the Wrapper's Auto Height option just doesn't work.
What is everyone else doing? Is there a simple solution for sites like mine that I'm just over looking?

You could go for a stand alone forum. Just built in your joomla template header in the header of SMF.
I've seen others mention that but I don't have any idea where to start. Is it just a matter of copying some HTML code into the SMF header?
no... it is somewhat more complicated than that....
That's what I keep hearing. Are there instructions anywhere?
Try looking over the Online Manual (http://docs.simplemachines.org/) and also in the graphics board here. The simplest edit would be to make SMF appear wrapped, which would involve editing only index.template.php.
This looks like a great option and it looks like it can be done by someone with little to no coding skills.
Thanks a ton!!!
I wonder if there are similar instruction for Gallery2?
I've modified joomla.php (passw hash), upgraded to the latest J 1.0.14, still using the smf_bridge (unwrapped).
Later I will migrate to J1.5.1 with the very promissing JFusion_plugin. So Joomla and SMF still connected :-)
I tried the Joomlahacks bridge after being told that it was supposed to be "better". I wanted to migrate to Joomla 1.5 so I was converting it for Joomla 1.5, but thats really messed up. It modifies both SMF and Joomla which is neither necessary nor ideal. So I decided to modify Oristo's bridge and am using it with Joomla 1.5.

That's very interesting can you tell us how to do that too? it sounds to be a nice solution. (If there are no security risks)
Having searched the forum here, I installed localy my old bridged joomla-smf and upgrated to 1.015 .
The only think that does not work is that the joomla users are not anymore syncronised and any functions that are featured for joomla registered members do not work either.
It llooks that if you are using joomla only to add and manage your content withour any user ineractivity , you can still use the brigde that from now is running only for showing the login logout module for the smf members as well as the ability to have your forum wrapped in to your joomla.
I tried to register a new member and it worked perfectly, I haven;t tried yet the password reminder. the other think that would not work is the "whosonline" module from joomla.
Please tell me if I'm wrong

I would like to know more about that too! Can you upload the modified file somewhere? Also what did you do with josHashPassword($password) ? I could not find where it is being called.
Do check your PM :)
It actually looks like JFusion (http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3723/Itemid,35/) will work out-of-the-box with 1.5.1 & 1.1.4 (http://www.jfusion.org/). I'd actually love to hear from anyone else who's done a 1.0.x/1.1.4/bridge > 1.5.1/1.1.4/JFusion upgrade. My hosting's currently only offering the 1.5.1 upgrade path from a 1.0.13 install ::)
Easy. I went back to Mambo.
I went back to Mambo as well.
I will wait for some instructions on how to make a bridge between Joomla! 1.5.x and SMF 2.0.x .
For now, it seems the latest JSMF 2.0.2.1 brdige can work for Joomla! 1.0.15 and SMF 1.1.4 very well.
Unfortunately a couple of my other components require Joomla (Joomla Tags, Jomcomment) so switching back to Mambo is not really an option for me :(

I tried that online and it works fine!
the password reminder worked and members are registering , loging in posting , etc
the only think I can not fix is that on he mod_smf_login module If I click on the login or register link it gives a slightly wrong link.
instead of http://website.com/joomlapage/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/action,login
it gives:
http://website.com/joomlapage/http://website.com/joomlapage/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/action,login
Similar for the registration link
instead of:
http://website.com/joomlapage/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/action,register/lang,en/
it gives:
http://website.com/joomlapage/http://website.com/joomlapage/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/action,register/lang,en/
EVERY OTHER LINK that the bridge makes works fine!
any ideas where to look for fixing this?
I went back to Mambo.
The future is bright the future is Mambo

First there will come Mambo 4.6.4 ;)
The Mambo-Foundation is working hard on the new version 4.7. But it will take some will for an public beta. But 4.7 will be worth waiting for ;)
For those how are interested there is some information standing on Mambo-Foundation.org.

Has anyone got anything to report on this option ?
Have anybody a link to some nice and clear instructions on exactly the steps and actions required to switch to Mambo?
Still using Joomla 1.0.12 and SMF 1.1.4 bridged.
uninstall the bridge
then do this...
http://forum.mambo-foundation.org/showthread.php?t=6757
then install the mambo bridge.

This is also an alternative

I continued running Joomla! 1.012 and SMF 1.14 for my operational sites. I want to say here and now that the SMF-bridge is superior to the 'other' bridge made by Joomla-guys. Thank you again for all the effort and time you took to make the bridge so excellent. Now for the future:
I installed a new development-site running Joomla 1.52 and SMF 1.14 interconnected by JFusion. JFusion is far from finished and has alfa-status but it looks promising for those who want a portal 'around' SMF. It is not interesting for those who want a portal with forum-support since JFusion uses the forum-database.

I looked long and hard at going back to Mambo, but it seems to me that Mambo is slowly fading away. There is little or no activity at their forum, ans hardly any development on components.
Of course I could be wrong but I feel safer to stick to joomla...
So today I'm upgrading my site to Joomla 1.5.14 and SMF 1.1.10, using JFusion as a bridge.
In a test environment JFusion seems quite good. Maybe a little slower than the old bridge, and the discussbot (and forum new topics) isnt as nice as the one I have used before, but I'll see if I can tweak it after the main functionality is in place...

I made the switch to JFusion from the bridge several months ago. It's worked well so far. The user sync feature leaves something to be desired (or I still haven't figured out the correct setup) as it creates a new user if I change a username in Joomla with Joomla set as master. :shrugs shoulders: I would like to follow your implementation so please keep us updated. -thanks!
I finally made the decision to ditch Joomla; running Simpleportal & SMF 2.0 RC1.2 and I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to RC2 (Curve).

Same over here. No more bridging anymore, Yihaa
