Hello
I need to physically put all SMF users into the joomla database.
Anyone know how?

SMF Users are automatically ported over into joomla the first time they log in using the bridge login module.
Hello,
No that fails.

Hi,
Bridge: 3.20
SMF: RC2
Joomla: 1.0.7
After deleteing everyone, and putting back in the admin and then starting it off again, it works!
Thankyou for your patience!
I do have one more problem though, when using the trick to convert users into another user group, using this code:
mosMakeHtmlSafe($row);
$row->id = 0;
$row->usertype = '';
$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id('Registered','ARO');
if ($mosConfig_useractivation=="1") {
$row->activation = md5( mosMakePassword() );
$row->block = "1";
Changing Registered to Author fails to give the user a usertype in the database. Any ideas?

Since the bridge doesn't use the default Joomla registration, that code hack will be useless.
Are you using bridge registration, or SMF registration?
The bridged version
The above edited file was the com_SMF_registeration one so I thought it might do.
Any ideas how I can make them all authors when the log in?

Are Authors group 19, or 21?
You'll want to find queries in that file that have the number '18' in them, and change them to the appropriate group id number for Authors.
Authors are group 19
Just done that, and that doesn't work. Still comes up as being registered
Bugman
You do realize that it won't convert existing users, right? Only new registrations....
Oh i see, no i want to convert existing users in SMF into the joomla database as authors! :-( I thought the hack made them into something else as they convert over to joomla userbase
If it helps, so far, after doing a few database dumps, the only lines which change after I have made them an author in the backend is:
Old -> INSERT INTO jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map VALUES (18, '', 13);
New ->INSERT INTO jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map VALUES (19, '', 13);
And in the jos_users at the end of the users insert
Old -> '', 0, 0, 18, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '2006-01-17 07:14:26', '', '');
New -> 'Author', 0, 0, 19, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '2006-01-17 07:14:26', '', 'editor=');
So obviously there is still some "18" numbers lying about, but where, there are none left in smf_registeration. Also how do I get that "author" to be inserted. Does the editor bit at the end matter too?
Thank you
Bugman
It would seem the 18s are coming from smf.php, so ok, i can edit thoose, but still, It wont show author in usertype.

Hello,
After a bit of hassle, i have figured it out, and included instructions on how to do this.
Note, this was done using RC2, 1.0.7 and 3.20
This is to make all users, as they login in for the first time, or even register, into authors.
Get hold of com_smf, open it up and using dreamweaver, or something similar, find and replace all numbers that are 18 to 19
Then, you will need to find
INSERT INTO {$mosConfig_dbprefix}users
(name,username,email,password,gid)
And add in after password
usertype,
in both smf.php and smf_registeration.
Also, in the values line under where you find these alterations, you will need to add in:
'Author',
And then viola, save, rezip, upload and it works
Many thanks and patience to all thoose who helped
