Tested in both Mozilla and IE 6.

So the ajax is working fine. However, xml isn't being returned correctly. Is there anything in the admin error log?

[GodOfWonders]

Nothing pertaining to the mod that I see....a few errors from some stray code left behind by mods I hadn't noticed but that's about it.

[Hambil]

I'll need an admin login/ftp access to do much more I'm afraid If you are willing I'll be happy to help though.

[GodOfWonders]

Ok I'll PM you the info.

[Hambil]

It looks like a joomla issue. If you go to your forum page, and click on register from there, instead of using the link in the joomla/portal registration box, it works great.

[GodOfWonders]

hmmm so looks like I might have to alter an option or some code in Joomla then?

[Hambil]

That's my guess. I don't know how joolma works though. However, it is definitely not an issue with the mod. Still, that said, if we can figure this out it could help others with similar portal issues.

[GodOfWonders]

Well I'll take a look at the smf bridge, the mod, and joomla to see if I can see where the conflict lies.  More hours of staring at code. Oh well you want something to work you gotta stare at it for awhile. 

[Hambil]

What I can tell you, is that it looks like a url issue. The ajax code just uses a relative path, e.g. index.php?action=ajaxreg_checkusername&xml=true&username=Hambil

It would appear that joomla, or the portal/bridge, is doing some redirection (embedding the forum inside itself in a frame or something) and that is causing the problem.

[GodOfWonders]

So would it be possible to make the AJAX code do the same thing or no?

[Hambil]

javascript does not have access to your php vars like $forumdir. In addition, I'm not sure how it would know where it is being called from. I don't think this is a problem that can be fixed from the mod, but, I'm still looking into it and thinking about it.

Nice!
Definatly something that should be a default feature in the future!

Yes, it should.

[GodOfWonders]

ok I fixed the problem. It works fine now. Basically I just edited the AjaxRegFed.js file.  As you can see the SMF bridge is a component adding com_smf to the link so if I take:

Code Select Expand

http.open('GET', 'index.php?action=ajaxreg_checkusername&xml=true&username=' + document.creator.user.value);

and change it to:

Code Select Expand

http.open('GET', 'index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&action=ajaxreg_checkusername&xml=true&username=' + document.creator.user.value);

it calls from the right url.  Thus working for SMF integrated into Joomla.

[Hambil]

Nice, thanks

What is Itemid? Is there a significance to 26? If I wanted to make a joomla fix for this, how would I know the proper Itemid to use?

[GodOfWonders]

hmmm not really sure what the Itemid is. I'll look into it but apparently it's important cause when I removed it from the url the ajax stopped working. :/

This should answer your question:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=48869.0

Copy the AjaxRegFed.js to your Helios_multi directory.

Thanks ... Solved.

I see the code and I think: this archive, could be on my theme folder ... Then, I  see this reply and I copied the file .

Now is working.

Thanks !!
