What I'm Using:
Joomla v1.0.5
SMF v1.1 RC1
Bridge v.3.20
Ok after installing SMF I tried loggin in using the Login module (mod_smf_login v3.20) but I get the following error.

This is how I configured the component:


Also I created another user account (registered user) permissions and when I go to the forum the users credentials did not transfer over.
The bridge you are using is not compatible with the version of your forum.
so what do you recommend? should I uninstall the bridge and downgrade? or should I upgrade SMF?
Well, I would upgrade SMF. RC2 is much better than RC1.
You will also need to set up your database users correctly:

Ok, thanks!!
I will upgrade now and make the changes :)
Ok upgraded and when I log in it recognizes me now but this is what the login looks like:

Is there away to change the language to spanish for the login? I also don't see an option to register?
If I use the defualt joomla login module new users don't get transfered over to SMF.
(I added both MYSQL users to both Joomla and SMF databases, as suggested.)
There is some code you need to put into your Joomla template header. Check the readme.txt.
Thanks Orstio i just added the code but now my whole site is blank... the front page does not come out :S
Do you have compressed output turned on in SMF?
yes, just turned it off and I get the same result. :S
Can you post the contents of your Joomla template?

[EDIT] Sorry, I missed that you posted both.
You're sure the absolute path is correct in your component configuration?
Just cleand cache and now I get that I don't have permission to logoff.
Are you using multiple templates on your site? You need to add that code to all the templates you have published.
no just one template.....
www.notofilia.com (http://www.notofilia.com) <=- this is my site.
http://www.notofilia.com/smf (http://www.notofilia.com/smf) <=- SMF
Esta uno problemo:
No tiene permisos para acceder a este apartado.
Necesitas acceder primero.
Aqui:
http://www.notofilia.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=89
(Sorry for my terrible Spanish!) ;)
Hahaha :P
You can write in English I'm fluent in both languages.... Looks like its saying it doesn't have permissions to com_smf but even when I log in as admin I still don't have permission. I just checked the parent company and CHMOD is 755. Any ideas?
I'm thinking it might have something to do with your SEF engine. Is that 404SEF?
Using SEF Advance v4.3 (3rd party component)
If you turn it off, does everything work?
There's no "on" "off" on this component... i would need to test it on test site... :(
I haven't done much testing with alternative SEF engines. I know some people have been able to get 404SEF and OpenSEF working with the bridge, but I have no idea how.
It will work fine with the default SEF engine, however.
:( guess i have 2 choices either not use SEF, or not to use SMF :( atleast until things are test and sorted :(
Noticed that even tho i am logged in as admin via smf_login I can't see the forum link in the main menu after checking the backend its set to be available as registered users.. but if I set it up as "public" and i login I'm acknowledged in both joomla and SMF...
Yes, you need the first menu item to be public. You can unpublish that, and create a new one that is only available for registered users, though.
