First of all, thank you to everyone who reported the bugs in 1.1.3. Your reports have made this a better bridge. :)
Again, this bridge is compatible only with SMF 1.1RC2. If you have any other version of SMF, please use bridge 3.19a instead.
For new installs:
Unzip the package, and find inside two files: readme.html and com_smf.zip. Read the readme.html, and install the com_smf.zip as a component.
For Joomla, you will not need to add code to your template, but for Mambo, you will.
For upgrades from 1.1.2:
Uninstall the bridge component, the bridge registration component, and the mod_smf_login module. Remove the code from your Mambo/Joomla template.
Read the readme.html. Install the com_smf.zip as a component. Please note that for Mambo, the code in the template has changed significantly. The code is no longer required for Joomla.
If you have 1.1.3, and it is working, you do not need to upgrade. If you want to upgrade, just follow the instructions above for 1.1.2, making sure to also uninstall the SMF_Headerbot before installing the com_smf.zip.
Group Synch option
Be very careful with the Group Synch button. If you do not have your Group Synch options saved correctly, you can erase admin status from all Joomla administration. Do not click the Group Synch button without first making absolutely sure your settings in the Group Synch tab are correct, and you will have at least one Super Admin after synching.
This bridge is released under the terms of the Simple Machines license. Please do not redistribute.
Tnx Orstio! :)
I have a question about something weird...
I installed this bridge, everything seems to be working fine, and I can register, which I couldnt do with 1.1.3
However, the component gets installed and makes a menu link called 'forum' but when I look at this link, it says that the component that its linking to is 'wordpress' which I also have installed. Even though when you click on the forum menu link it does take you to the forum and everything at first glance does seem to be working - also the quote post and jump to actions are also working no probs - but why has it got wordpress as the component?
I should say that this happened last time too with 1.1.3 but I just deleted the link and created a new one, but since its happened again I thought I should ask. I was going to delete this and make a new menu link but maybe I should leave it as its all working? Cancel that, the forum link *does* take you to wordpress instead of the forum lol. I have made a new menu link
Also I cant remember but you have to put your new itemid somewhere but I cant remember where?
Yeah, I may be better off making sure there is an auto-increment in there, the way I did with the ACL. :-\
ok I dont know what you just said lol
Is there somewhere I am supposed to/need to change my itemid? it was 77 now its 83, or does it automatically do it now?
I remember you telling me before as I had 99999999 instead of 77 but I cant find the post now lol
I remember - its in the redirect script in my index template :)
thanks Orstio, everything seems fine so far :)
My forum is still displaying http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=99999999 in the address, is this a problem?
(I already changed the redirect script to itemid=83 in my index.template.php)
It's not going to break anything, perplexed, but you might want to track down from which link you are getting to that Itemid and fix it.
I just browsed through your site, and couldn't duplicate the 99999999.
I`m not exactly sure what version of bridge I have but I would like to update. I`m running smf 1.1rc 2 and joomla 1.0.8 How can I find the version of bridge I`m running.
EDIT: Ok I am running 3.20 I guess.
So I uninstall the bridge AND "Simple Machines Forum Registration" and remove the code from my template then re-install right.
Don't forget the mod_smf_login module...
So I uninstall 3 things:
bridge
Simple Machines Forum Registration
mod_smf_login module
When removing the code from the template can I just re-upload a fresh copy of the file ???
after uninstalling all this then I install the com_smf.zip as a component and I`m done.
QuoteWhen removing the code from the template can I just re-upload a fresh copy of the file
Yes.
Quoteafter uninstalling all this then I install the com_smf.zip as a component and I`m done.
You'll need to set your absolute path again and Save. You'll also notice a lot more options in the config, especially after the first Save.
The code went in the Joomla template right ??? (Stupid question)
Yes, it did.
Ok, I`m going to give this a try right now.
I think I got it. I still got most of those same errors I showed you the first time though. But it looks like its working.

hmmm its weird because wherever it is, when Im in the forum some of the modules that usually display when in the forum, are gone, but when the itemid is 83, they are there
I will keep trying to track it down, thanks
Hello,
once again I tried to get it running. But iI always get an "Hacking attempt" while configuration.
This is my setting:
- Joomla 1.0.8
- smf 1.1RC2 with sec. Patch
- Bridge 1.1.14
(Everything in one Database)
I installed it as it is said in the Readme filde. But when I´m trying to configure the component I get the above error message (and sadly no configuration at all). What do I have to do?
Thank you for your help[/list]
Sorry to ask this Orstio,
but you have no mention on the perocedure to upgrade for 1.1.3 users. Just overwrite a couple of files or uninstall and the install again?
thnx
Pax
Umm, it does state...

There was nothing new added for this release, just bug fixes from 1.1.3.
oh okay cool :)
is there a list of these bugs that were fixed?

Hello,
Orstrio thanks for your great work.
I have a small question, which code must i deleted before i install the new bridge? at the moment i use the bridge 1.1.3 i´m a php newbie sorry
Best regards
willi1
If you already have 1.1.3, then you didn't put any code into your Joomla template header, so you don't need to delete it.
thx
and really good work. :)
Hi Orstio!
Great job at the bridge. However, I'm having a problem... Am I supposed to disable the "Your Details" Joomla menu item? When I try to edit things from here, I got some weird *already registered* problems. Doesn't make too much sense, since I'm trying to edit a profile, not register another account.
Ideas?
As with all previous bridges, changing things in your Joomla profile will not make those same changes in your SMF profile. Changing your SMF profile will make changes to your Joomla profile.
Therefore, it is best to unpublish any link to anything that will change your Joomla profile because that will do nothing but confuse you.

whats the actual file name of the template, on a default install?
It's usually easiest to go to your Joomla admin panel, Site menu, Template Manager, Site Templates.
Select the template with the checkmark next to it, and click "Edit HTML".

Joomla is currently on PHP 4, just as smf is.

Hi, I have a brand new install of Joomla 1.0.8 and SMF 1.1RC2, running on MySQL 5. Got the following error trying to install this bridge:
QuoteDB function failed with error number 1264
Out of range value adjusted for column 'id' at row 1 SQL=INSERT INTO jos_components VALUES( '', 'SMF Bridge', 'option=com_smf', 0, 0, 'option=com_smf', 'SMF Bridge', 'com_smf', 0, 'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, '' )
SQL =
INSERT INTO jos_components
VALUES( '', 'SMF Bridge', 'option=com_smf', 0, 0, 'option=com_smf', 'SMF Bridge', 'com_smf', 0, 'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, '' )
Any ideas?
Did it install correctly?
No, doesn't look like it. Creates the com_smf directory but doesn't show in the components list. My guess would be the '' for ID is causing the problem. I'm not sure, but I thought on auto-increment values you needed to submit NULL not an empty string. But I can't find the line where this code is being executed to test it.
Do any other components install correctly?
I hadn't thought to try that. Got the same error on another component, same error when I tried to run the statement manually through MySQL. Changed the '' to NULL and it worked, but install is incomplete. Apparently it's a Joomla problem.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
FYI... found a better fix:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,47032.0.html
Why loggin module identify lowercase and uppercase?
lowercase = uppercase, fix?
Joomla is case sensitive. It has nothing to do with the bridge. It has nothing to do with the login module. The bridge cannot fix this.
I cant seem to set the default groups on my forum to have author privledges, the setting just seems to revent when i try to change it :(
You're going to have to explain to me how you are trying to give your members author privileges....
In the "groups" tab of the bridge configuration you can select which groups correspond to which...
Yes, and after you set them, you click "Save".
Then you need to go to the Synch Tab, and click the third button to perform the synchronization.
yeah i click save but they still revert :(
Can you PM me a URL and super admin access?
sent
Thanks. I've replied. I am seeing both you Global Moderator and Moderator SMF groups synched to Author in Joomla. Is that what you want?
Thank you very much for granting me access so I could see what was going on. This bug will be fixed in future versions of the bridge. :)

I am in "situation" :o
After Synch'ing, I have lost the Super Admin power at my Joomla site! How do I get it back?
EDIT: Solved it myself...
Had to edit the jos_users and jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map in phpMyAdmin...
Those who need help on this, please feel free to contact me. I think I can handle it..
EDIT 2: Tutorial
For those who are in this "situation", now I have posted a tutorial at Joomlaspan.

Is there a way to add dynamic titles to this version?
The dynamic title solution for the 1.1.3 version does not work in this version.

when integrating joomla with smf and community builder, when you block a user in the backend in CB (community builder) is the user also blocked in SMF?
When deleting a user in joomla backends usermanager of CB usermanager, will the user be deleted in smf?
today on developers blog this appeared:
QuoteApart from a few security changes (which have broken some components - especially those that integrated with the core like SMF) between point releases, Joomla! has remained compatible with the vast majority of components in the community and commercial sphere. While 1.5 brings a large number of improvements for both developers and users alike, it will likely break a large number of components. One reason is due to the fact that the majority of the /includes directory has been gutted and moved into a better structure in /libraries. Any component that directly accessed includes will not work any more, but will work properly with the correct jimport statement
here is something with SMF, so my question is: is this release of this smf component already tested on 1.5 and is it compatible or will it be made compatible in the near future?
in de smf module, the registration link goes to CB, and lost password leads to the smf_registration component. CB provides this to, can it be done trough CB or not?
if registrations run on CB only, is the smf registration component neccessary?
is this compatible with latest CB? i'm running 1.0 stable (not yet released).
CB can use extra plugins that can handle things in CB, maybe an idea to develop something for better integration with CB? more info on joomlapolis.com (or contact beat or trail they know a lot about this )
sorry for all the questions ;) i just want to be sure i can use it, it already sees verry good.
Thanks in advance.

When deleting a user in joomla backends usermanager of CB usermanager, will the user be deleted in smf?
No, on both counts. However, it does work the other way: If the user is banned in SMF, he/she will not be able to access Joomla. Also, deleting a user in SMF will delete the user in Joomla.
Quotehere is something with SMF, so my question is: is this release of this smf component already tested on 1.5 and is it compatible or will it be made compatible in the near future?
Not yet tested with Joomla 1.5. However, it does not directly access any Joomla includes....perhaps they are referring mainly to the joomlahacks integration, which makes changes to some core files?
I'll do some testing to see.
Quotein de smf module, the registration link goes to CB, and lost password leads to the smf_registration component. CB provides this to, can it be done trough CB or not?
No. CB will not insert a new SHA1 hashed password into the SMF member database.
Quoteif registrations run on CB only, is the smf registration component neccessary?
Yes. See above.
Quoteis this compatible with latest CB? i'm running 1.0 stable (not yet released).
I don't see why not.
QuoteCB can use extra plugins that can handle things in CB, maybe an idea to develop something for better integration with CB? more info on joomlapolis.com (or contact beat or trail they know a lot about this )

first thanks for the quick awnsers, helped me a lot ;)
cbplugins, this is where the quote might get handy, plugins in CB can be coded to do those actions.
and yes an other question (sorry): avatar handling CB avatars versus SMF avatars, can this be done automaticly?

Hello Orstrio,
have you any suggestion when works SMF Bridge with Open Sef RC5
best regards
willi1
Predator will probably havea better idea of that. He is now aware of a requirement for SMF URLs that mess things up a bit in OpenSEF.
Unless I login with the EXACT name, with the login mod it only logs me into the forums, not anything else.
IE: if I login with "pretas" and my username is "Pretas" it'll only log me in the forum section, and not the rest of the site. It's case sensitive for one side of the login process. Is there some way to fix this?
Joomla is case sensitive. This has nothing to do with the bridge.
Well when I login with the regular login component that comes with it, it isn't case sensitive.
Not in all situations, no.
Since a lot of users seem to be confused by needing to type in the username the same way that they did when they registered, here is some code that will work around the issue.
In smf.php, find this:
// Log into Mambo now.....
$request = mysql_query("
SELECT id, gid, block, usertype
FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}users
WHERE username = '$username'
AND password = '$passwd'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($request);
And change it to this:
// Log into Mambo now.....
$request = mysql_query("
SELECT username, id, gid, block, usertype
FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}users
WHERE username = '$username'
AND password = '$passwd'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($request);
$username = $row['username'];
Where is that file located?
Nevermind, I found it, and that works! Thanks!
When you're moving your joomla to another server, don't forget to change following files' CHMOD to 777
/components/com_smf_registration
/administrator/components/com_smf_registration
components/com_smf_registration/config.smf_registration.php
hi men.
it throws east error to me...
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rapvisio/public_html/templates/a6greyflash/index.php on line 19
You didn't configure the component.
Orstio,
My current installations are as follows
* Joomla 1.0.8
* smf 1.1RC2
I downloaded Bridge 1.1.4 (SMF 1.1 RC2-Mambo,Joomla) then extracted the com_smf.zip file
Logged in to the backend of joomla and installed under components com_smf zip.
As far as I can see when I install com_smf zip file it installs the bridge the registration and the login module disabling the current joomla login module. This installed fine with no errors.
However...
When I try to login to the joomla frontend using the new smf login module it only logs me into smf and Not the joomla site. I have tested my account and password both in joomla and smf independantly and they are in sync. I also un-installed the bridge and re-installed with exactly the same issue. I then tried to create a new user account using the registration however have the same issue upon login (only logs into smf)
Just wondered if you or anyone else has experienced this and could maybe offerer some suggestions.
Thanks in advanced
Scoobyx
Do you have a URL?
Orstio,
Just PM'ed you the URL
cheers
Scoobyx
I've just registered again with a new account and managed to get it working, seems that the old accounts I created a while back and sync'd are the cause now. A quick fix may be if I just delete the old accounts and recreate.
cheers

there are SOOO many bugs and problems in this bridge...
even with the default installation.. i get many errors!
You know, Prasad... rather than making an extremely UNHELPFUL and inflammatory comments like
"there are SOOO many bugs and problems in this bridge...
even with the default installation.. i get many errors!"
it would be HELPFUL if you could make a REPORT of WHAT erros you are getting.
I installed 1.1.4 with no errors at all... so I tend to assume that you are doing somethign wrong, if you are getting them.
Sorry about that.

ALTER TABLE `jos_core_acl_aro` CHANGE COLUMN `aro_id` `id` INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
what need i do in order to make it work with the new system?
thanx a head
Re'em jacob
http://www.joomla.co.il (http://www.joomla.co.il)
There is no public release of a bridge compatible with Joomla 1.5. I am working on it. Please be patient.
thanks in advance,
i managed to fix the DB fields for the installation
maybe it will help..
[Link to License violation removed]
as has been noted in a separate thread... this bridge will not work with joomla 1.5.
Quote from: reemjthanks in advance,

Try this mod:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=67889.0
First of all, thanks for a continuous support of the SMF to Joomla integration.
Now for the problems.
I have installed the 1.1.4 on Joomla 1.0.8. Everything has installed as a breeze, everything looks working but two things:
1. Some IE users report they can't login getting "you need to enable cookie support" message. I can't reproduce this neither in IE nor in FireFox, but the reports were there.
2. Menalto Gallery2 integrated into site stopped working. You can get to the gallery top but cannot enter any albums or pictures.
After 4 hours of investigations it appeared that the SSI module included by the header bot calls function cleanRequest that effectively wipes out a lot of fields from the $_REQUEST system variable.
Among those fields was the one that is telling Gallery2 which item to open, namely - g2_itemId.
It is important that fields get wiped by cleanRequest when SEF is on in Joomla. Probably, the function experiences some troubles parsing SEF-encoded URI.
I understand that this function has nothing to do with the bridge, however, since the header bot includes SSI.php, it causes this kind of problem.
I will for now be reverting to version 1.1.2 of the bridge, but I am quite certain, I am not the only one who will have this problem with the bridge, so there is something that needs to be done about that.
EDIT: Didn't have to revert to 1.1.2 - commenting out string
require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php");
on line 10 of SMF_header_include.php has solved the problem.
Regards,
Constantine

Hey, thanks for that fix! I had originally used another fix but then found out that the file had corrupted and was empty on my server, so everything was working fine. When I found the problem, I bumped up the thread but didn't get a response, so I kept using the 0kb file (never caused problems on my site). After commenting that out, that works great! Thanks
Side-note: that line is line 63 of the file :P

Again, not something I would suggest doing. That may break other things that are not immediately obvious.
You would be better off finding this line:
if (!defined('SMF') && $_REQUEST['option'] != 'com_smf'){and changing it to this:
if (!defined('SMF') && $_REQUEST['option'] != 'com_smf' && $_REQUEST['option']!='com_gallery2'){But, then I make no guarantees that login will work if somebody tries it from the gallery page.

Cool, that fix works man. I started noticing some errors in my cpanel error log when i commented out SSI.php, just had to wait for them to become constant before checking back here. Uncommented the SSI.php line, and added the codehack you described - works like a charm. Thanks
Orstio, thanks for the correction.
I will investigate the consequences of commenting out SSI.php inclusion. Meanwhile login works for me from all pages.
Also, I suppose that Gallery2 is just one example of the "victim" component. There must be others, so checking particularly for com_gallery2 would just solve a local problem.
Anyway, is it possible to communicate with developers of SSI interface in order to try fixing it's cleanRequest algorithm?
It also looks like this function is the cause of the "cookie problem", by the way.
I will investigate the consequences in more details tomorrow (5 am here :-X) and post the results. For now it seems that the SMF styles and scripts paths are gone, but that is easy to fix.

The issue is actually caused by the Non-SEF nature of the com_gallery2 URLs. That output should be buffered, and replaced with a SEF equivalent inside com_gallery2, IMO. I know I struggled quite a bit with converting URLs to SEF in the SMF bridge. The com_gallery2 URLs would be a breeze to convert, because they don't ever use any special characters like semi-colons and periods.

This is definitely a solution. Will try to modify the g2 bridge.
Can i bridge SMF and Joomla if SMF is in a subdomain and Joomla is in the root htdocs directory of the main domain?
brilliant that fix works for me too. thanks a million.
shprota if you could help Michiel (who is writing the bridge) developing a sef_ext.php we all would be very grateful. :-)

Yers, as long as the subdomain is on the same server, and has write access to the main domain.
Continuing the SMF and Gallery2 conflict topic.
I managed to make G2 use 100% SEF links under Joomla. Looks nice, works nice too.
To make the view item action of G2 work with SEF links, do the following:
1. Activate rewrite module in G2 (through the embedded gallery administration)
2. Configure the module to rewrite only "Show Item" option
3. Delete all G2 stuff from Joomla .htaccess
4. Add the following code to the end of Joomla .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,([0-9]+)/v/([^?]+)(\?.|\ .)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/gallery2/main\.php$
RewriteRule . index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=%1&g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_path=%2 [QSA,L]
5. Locate the following code in components/com_gallery2/pages/main.php:
$g2ItemId = intval(mosGetParam($_REQUEST, 'g2_itemId', 0));
if(empty($g2ItemId)){
$g2ItemId = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'];
$_REQUEST['g2_itemId'] = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'] ;
$_GET['g2_itemId'] = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'] ;
}
and change it to read:
$g2ItemId = intval(mosGetParam($_REQUEST, 'g2_itemId', 0));
if(empty($g2ItemId))
{
$g2ItemId = intval(mosGetParam($_GET, 'g2_itemId', 0));
}
if(empty($g2ItemId)){
$g2ItemId = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'];
$_REQUEST['g2_itemId'] = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'] ;
$_GET['g2_itemId'] = $g2Config['id.rootAlbum'] ;
}
Now the integrated G2 should work with 100% SEF URIs.
Troubleshooting technique:
If this does not work for you, chances are you are either not using Joomla! standard SEF (using no SEF or using OpenSEF, SEF404 or whatever) or have some differences in rewrite rules.
To check that the SEF URL for Gallery2 is parsed and rewritten correctly, you may insert a line of code:
echo "<pre>", print_r($_REQUEST, true), "</pre><br />";
somewhere in the begining of the Joomla! index.php, reload the page and see whether the request contains fields g2_view and g2_path. If it does not, than the problem is with the rewriting rules and you have to tweak them to make things work.
Wow, we've actually gone 5 pages without this reminder:

I have one question: is recommended use SMF 1.1 RC2 instead of 1.0.7? I ask because I have a Joomla 1.0.8 and vBulletin 3.5.4. Now I found SMF and I pass from vBulletin to SMF all. So ... if I want use SMF integrate in Joomla with bridge use for?

Hi guys.
I am really sorry for the stupid things that I am going to ask now.
1) Ok first thing is first. What I hope I am going to do by installing this module is
- Instead of having two diferent user database (Anything else does not mater for me. I want my users to sign up to my site and its board all together just once.) having just one database.
- As long as a user loged in It will be shown in Joomla's and SMF's visitor area.
2) I have joomla 1.0.8 and SMF 1.0.7 previously installed in sepperate database's. Is this module the right module for me.
3) Do I have to delete any of my databases. I need both. They are used pretty much till now and I do not want to sarifice either one of them.
4) If there is not is there any way to connect this databases.
Thank you very much for your answers.

There are going to be two different user databases, one for Joomla and one for SMF. However, this does not mean you need to login twice. One login, two databases.
Quote2) I have joomla 1.0.8 and SMF 1.0.7 previously installed in sepperate database's. Is this module the right module for me.
Please read the first post in this topic. It does clearly state:
QuoteAgain, this bridge is compatible only with SMF 1.1RC2.
Quote3) Do I have to delete any of my databases. I need both. They are used pretty much till now and I do not want to sarifice either one of them.
No, please do not delete any of your databases. See reply to #1 above.
Quote4) If there is not is there any way to connect this databases.
See reply to #1 above.
and to answer the question which I know is coming next... if you are using 1.0.7, then you need bridge v3.19a_stable. See the combined readme sticky post for a link to that archive file.
Orstio and Kinderd (i hope i write them right) you are stars man.
Thank you very much indeed.
I hope I can find thet stable thingy.
See ya.
Very nice, works great, until I post, then it reverts back to normal SMF, getting rid of the Joomla! wrapping. How can I stop that happening??

when i download i always get a corrupt archive :(
any mirror available?
no... there are no mirrors.
I just downloaded and checked and the file works fine for me.
How do you know you get a corrupt archive?
Are you EXTRACTING the files FIRST before trying to load it as a component?
(you should be loading the zip file called com_smf.zip as a component, not the overall archive)
when I open it it says corrupt and no files show in it
But its ok now I installed winzip and it works now :)
winrar can't open it i guess
cheers
I checked and WinRAR opens without any problems...
Quick question, I uninstalled this bridge as the requirements for the site I am building no longer include a forum. The uninstall went fine (ie I'm back to using CB's login and everything works), except there's still references to SMF's CSS and such in the pages Joomla! generates, however I can't find where this is coming from.
Stuff like:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rod/joomla/smf/Themes/default/script.js?rc2"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://rod/joomla/smf/Themes/default/style.css?rc2" />
Etc etc.. any idea how to eliminate these? Thanks in advance.
(Good component BTW, everything installed perfectly when I set it up)
There should be a mambot called SMF_Header_include. Uninstall that as well.
Awesome, that did the trick. Thanks! :)
Becareful. The new 1.0.9 seems to cause issues with the bridge....and can mess up your board quite abit.
QuoteBecareful. The new 1.0.9 seems to cause issues with the bridge....and can mess up your board quite abit.
???
On joomlahacks.com (namly this topic: http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,94/topic,1769.msg8230;topicseen#msg8230 ) they said the same thing. I highly doubt they are using the same bridge, but I am also having problems after ive upgraded. I thought it was something else, but I highly doubt it.
Everyone is viewed as a guest, even when they login with case correct (which is another annoying issue) they are still viewed as a guest. Something went wrong, and im trying to go back to 1.0.8 now.
For reference, click my banner. Its the site im talking about. You will need a member name to seem what I mean.
I can't speak for the joomlahacks integration. I know that component makes changes to core Joomla and SMF files, which can result in some nasty things happening with certain upgrades.
For the 1.1.4 bridge, one small change needs to be made for the Joomla 1.0.9 upgrade. Find this in smf.php (in the integrate_login function):
//Joomla 1.0.8 compatibility
if (isset($_VERSION) && $_VERSION->PRODUCT == 'Joomla!' && $_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL >= '8'){
$remCookieName = mosMainFrame::remCookieName_User();
$remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd );
setcookie( $remCookieName, $remCookieValue, $lifetime, '/' );
}
and replace it with this:
//Joomla 1.0.8 compatibility
if (isset($_VERSION) && $_VERSION->PRODUCT == 'Joomla!' && $_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL >= '8'){
$remCookieName = mosMainFrame::remCookieName_User();
//Joomla 1.0.9 compatibility
if ($_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL>='9')
$remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd ) . $row['id'];
else
$remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd );
setcookie( $remCookieName, $remCookieValue, $lifetime, '/' );
}
For future reference, you will probably not find very valuable information about this bridge at joomlahacks.com, nor will you find much valuable information about the joomlahacks integration here.
Heh, yea I know. I Just found the site and they said something about some bridge not working. But, that was very quick....
I just replaced the files back to .08 and everything is fine again. I will test that code out on my test server before I do it again.
Thanks for doing that update.
I have upgrade now to Joomla 1.0.9 and modify the smf.php how say Ostrio and works great :)
Thanks for your job.
Wow. Had no problems on 1.08. Just did a fresh install of 1.09 and made the changes above. It installed and then once enabled it jacked the layout of my site and style sheet and did not work. I am assuming this means I am going to have re-install? Ideas where I went wrong?

It doesn't look like you actually have the bridge installed there....
Guys, I must be loosing my memory or I am overworked. Two weeks ago I upgraded to Joomla 1.0.8 and I had the same problem and I fixed it but now I can't recall what I did. ???
The problem is:
When I log in to front-end using the smf login module it won't recognize that I am an admin (or special group) and I can't edit items from front-end. On the other hand when I published the native login module for Joomla it works fine.
Thanks
Ludek
and did you apply the hack-fix to smf.php that is required to work with 1.0.9????
Kindred, thank you for your reply. No I haven't applied the hack-fix to 1.0.9. Where do I download it from? I couldn't find it in the forum.
Thanks
You don't download it, you apply it yourself. The instructions are on the previous page of this thread.

Cool! That was it. Thanks a lot! :D

Thank you very very much ostio. you are so great.
Okay, first, I posted elsewhere, 2 times and never got a response so I'm hoping to hear something back here.
I have joomla! 1.0.8 and am wanting to install and use SMF 1.0.7 with the 1.1-rc2 bridge. I've tried this installation various times and each time have run in to the same issue.
This is what I do to install:
upload smf_1-1-rc2_install.zip and unzip to /dc-lan/forum
Browse to http://www.dc-lan.com/forum/install.php and follow the instructions. Installation goes off without a hitch. Now for the SMF bridge.
From the joomla - install component page
browse to and upload com_smf.zip
after the install I get the following errors:

SMF Bridge Component
Installation: successful
"smf - This is the bridge component for Simple Machines Forum."
Now, components -> smf bridge -> configuration
from here i change the absolute path to smf to /var/www/dc-lan/forum change type to wrapped and save.
Load up http://www.dc-lan.com/ and it loads my SMF on front page?
I really want to leave this up so you can see it in action, but as this is a event I'm throwing in August, I need my page functioning properly. I'll leave it up for a few hours, until I leave for work, then I'm going to uninstall SMF, unless I see a fix or an idea posted. Hope to hear from someone soon :S
ummmm.... did you just read your own post? You can not use the 1.1RC2 bridge with SMF 1.0.7
Also, you didn't read the sticky posts... those errors on install are related to not having the directories set to the correct permissions.
i followed a guide that i found on the joomla forums, i'll have to see if i can find it. well gj on my part then.
well apparently i can't read. sorry for that guys. anyhow, i'm still having a similar issue, correct me if i'm wrong, but SMF 1.1 RC2 would use bridge 1.1.4 right? Thats how my current setup is and everything installed fine. Only thing is, its still loading the SMF index as my frontpage, in wrapped or unwrapped mode.
the first menu itme in the main menu is considered the site front page.
The "Group Synch" option is useful but risky as warned in the first post. I was one of those who took the risk and suffered :)
Now I have written a tutorial at Joomlaspan on how to recover the Super Admin status after losing it with a Synch that went sour...
The tutorial is here: Joomla-SMF Tutorial, How to recover Super Admin Status? (http://www.joomlaspan.com/joomla-tutorials/joomla-smf/joomla-smf-bridge-recover-super-administrator-status-after-bad-synchronization.html)

Group Synch option
Be very careful with the Group Synch button. If you do not have your Group Synch options saved correctly, you can erase admin status from all Joomla administration. Do not click the Group Synch button without first making absolutely sure your settings in the Group Synch tab are correct, and you will have at least one Super Admin after synching.
Yes, this is exactly what happend to me. I will pass this installation on to a customer once it's done. What if he ever decides to hit that button? Messing with "...acl_groups_aro_map" is IMHO a very bad idea. Is this absolutly necessary? At least please have a quadrouple warning before doing the synching. It took me forever to find out what the problem was and how to fix it (manual restoration of the codes for the groups and so on, I'm still not confident I got it all right, so I will have to copy some db-contents from a second installation to make sure. Very much disappointed.
QuoteWhat if he ever decides to hit that button?
The I suppose it is your job to make sure that the Group Synch options are saved correctly so that he won't erase his admin status. It's not really that difficult:
- make sure that the SMF admin username and password are the same as the Joomla super admin username and password,
- make sure that Administrators in SMF synch to Super Administrators in Joomla.
As long as those two conditions are met, you won't erase the admin status.
QuoteMessing with "...acl_groups_aro_map" is IMHO a very bad idea. Is this absolutly necessary?
There really is no other way to change the Joomla group in which a user belongs. Joomla determines permissions by the ACL tables, so if you want to synch groups from SMF to Joomla, those tables are the ones that need to be changed.

ummmmm.... why? One assumes from the veryf act that a person has access to the admin that they won't push any buttons unless they know what they do! Come on, this idiotic "Are you sure? Are you REALLY sure? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?" way that Windoze has people thinking is just plain stupid.
Orstio has already put in a warning (which is more than enough).
If your customer is running on an apache server and goes into CPanel>MySQL and clicks "delete database" he won't be given any confirmation question... the system will just do it. It assumes that if you are doing it, you know what you are doing.
Why are you disappointed? The bridge does exactly what it is advertised to do, including syncing the users EXACTLY as you have them set up. Not the bridge's fault it you set them up to remove your admin access.
installed the bridge and didnt see any issues until i logged out, at the top of my webpage i get this

That's not really bridge-related. The bridge is just making the error more apparent. If you look in your forum stats, you'll see this:

if he decides to hit the button.. like Orstio said make sure that groups are saved correctly. Another option would be not to give them access to it at all..
Thanks for the tip. I need your help once again. Is it possible to for smf and joomla just using only a single user? If so, tell how?
QuoteIs it possible to for smf and joomla just using only a single user?
Can you explain what you mean by that?
There are users on both smf and the joomla. Since there is the bridge connect them both together and I was hoping to use a single user when I enter the smf from the joomla.
Let me try this again.
When I register as a user in joomla, the same user should be registered in smf automatically as well and vice versa.
Is my explaination is clear?
QuoteWhen I register as a user in joomla, the same user should be registered in smf automatically as well and vice versa.
Essentially, yes. If you use the Joomla default registration, however, the user will not appear in SMF until the first time they login.

That I believe the whole purpose of the Joomla-SMF Bridge!
Of course there are other advantages like visual integration (if wrapped) and the ability to use Joomla modules in SMF pages and vice versa.

Messing with "...acl_groups_aro_map" is IMHO a very bad idea. Is this absolutly necessary? At least please have a quadrouple warning before doing the synching. It took me forever to find out what the problem was and how to fix it (manual restoration of the codes for the groups and so on, I'm still not confident I got it all right, so I will have to copy some db-contents from a second installation to make sure. Very much disappointed.
Tell your customer NOt use that. If he still hits the button, ask him to contact you. Charge him for the service :)
Anyway, if you can ensure that all users with Admin/Super Admin status in SMF/ Joomla respectively, have the same username and password in both Joomla and SMF, including capitalization, there should be no problems...
And, if you get into trouble, you always have the tutorial to reinstate the administrator (http://www.joomlaspan.com/joomla-tutorials/joomla-smf/joomla-smf-bridge-recover-super-administrator-status-after-bad-synchronization.html). :)

I installed bridge 1.1.4 into Mambo 4.5.4 (SMF 1.1 RC2) everything is default.
When viewing the mambo main page I was getting this error embedded in the page:
Notice: Undefined index: USER_AGENT in <location>Sources/Load.php on line 278
It's mambo and I had added the template code as per the directions but was still getting this.
Lo and behold the error was that I put the code into wrong template so it wasn't active.
Just an FYI for others who might get this error.
;D
i have joomla 1.0.10 and smf 1.1.4
so where is download for bridge between this two ??
ehh srry, but i am new in this
can someone post link
alot thanx
1- there is no smf version 1.1.4. the most recent version of SMF is 1.1RC2
2- 1.1.4 is the version of the bridge that is attached to the first message in this thread. This is not SMF... 1.1.4 is the bridge. You must download and install joomla and SMF as standalone installations before installing the bridge
Have the same problem reported by some others - After installing 1.14 with Joomla 1.09 my front page layout is now messed up - seems the window for the SMF section is set too wide and now displays below the window space.
Can you tell me what the install does to the teamplates - and what is the simple fix.
Thanks
Use a better template.
Thanks for the response
I'm just using the default Joomla template which worked before install - and now doesnt - absolutely no content yet because I wan't to get this working first.
Can you suggest one or two templates that work? Your help would be appreciated

About Gallery2:
I've lost the authentication using orstio smf bridge 1.1.4. Logging with joomla module is OK, but so I can't enter the forum. I've tried to modyfy line:
if (!defined('SMF') && $_REQUEST['option'] != 'com_smf' && $_REQUEST['option'] != 'com_gallery2'){
in SMF_header_include.php but I've not resolved my problem.
I'm not using SEF now!
Some suggestion?
Thanks in advance
please try bridge 1.1.5.
