Re: Questions concerning the Combined Readme post

Yes, there's a new name.  Tophe, have you updated the Mambo template you are using?

[Kindred]

I just added the information from Goosemoose regarding prior SMF links...

(in other words, if you ran SMF before adding the bridge, your links in messages will all point to the OLD smf URL.)

Using his SQL command, (in phpMyAdmin) you will change ALL the old links to the new bridge component links...

Hello,

Is the bridge ok for an update with the last avaible smf 1.0.3?

Thanks...

If not, Is there a way to upgrade my 1.0.2 smf to 1.0.3 Without any problem for my mambo-smf?

Thanks...

[Kindred]

this has been asked and answered...

Use the update available in the package manager of SMF.
There's a link in the text at the top of your package manager instyalled mods list...

[mentos]

oups... thanks a lot...

Links to threads for adding smf/coppermine to Mambo search and adding a link to users' albums in coppermine/mambo have been added to the original post:


Update:

To add a search function of SMF (and Coppermine) to your mambo search box, check out THIS thread by bmwheaven

to add the coppermine link to your user's posts (or anywhere else) and still open it wrapped in mambo, check out url=http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=28318.0]THIS thread [/url]by Goosemoose

OK, I've done everything. But when I extract the bridge zip (3.1) I get some directories like "mosbot", "misc modules" and "step-by-step install", with zip files inside those directories, and text files. This is probably some stupid mistake of mine, but there you go.

What did I do?

[Orstio]

Start with the step-by-step install.  Go through steps 1-4.

If you want the mosbot, install it.

If you want any of the miscellaneous modules, install the ones you want.

Thanks for the bridge Orstio .. it works a dream.

I've just seen on the mamboforge site that a new version (pretty changed) of SMF bridge has been released... this works also with mambo com_builder...

and probably something change in the installation, or?

someone has already tried it?

[Kindred]

ok....   the new release is NOT the standard bridge.  This is the modified bridge (by Cowboy at mambohacks.com) and is NOT what this readme (nor most of the posts in this forum) are discussing.

That being said, I have tried it out on my test site.

The installation is a little buggy if your mambo directory is not writeable.
He claims that it redirects the SMF profile to the community builder profile... in my tests, it does not.

Many of the standard bridge modules will not work with this version, including the who's online (both), and my calendar modules (both).
I do see that he has released a revision of the latest post module to work with it...

Overall, it's a nice piece of work but it has distinctly separated from the standard bridge...

[b_michael]

For your all's sake I'm sticking with the install I've already done 

[taucher]

that means, that it would be better to stay with orsitos bridge - right?

[chadness]

If you are already using Orstio's, definitely stick with it.

[manolao]

ok....   the new release is NOT the standard bridge.  This is the modified bridge (by Cowboy at mambohacks.com [nofollow]) and is NOT what this readme (nor most of the posts in this forum) are discussing.

oh, yes, I've seen when I checked better the project page on mamboforge! 

well.. so I will use the standard one :-D

I am using mambo4.5.2 & smf 1.0.3 & bridge 3.14
I exactly followed this thread, but after I login, it shows me an empty page,
http://localhost/88/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&action=mambo_login [nofollow]

Anyone can help?

[Kindred]

MOS_SMF.php did not get copied to your smf/Sources directory.
Get it out of the archive in Step 1 and load it there...

[chardi]

Thanks for reply.
MOS_SMF.php DID get copied to my smf/Sources directory, I really follow the guide step by step.
After I login, the empty page appears, but if I hit the "back" buttun, it shows some info like "Hey, admin, you have 0 messages, 0 are new.....", that means I login successfully but just the page was not directed properly.

[Kindred]

I know you followed the steps...     however, be certain that the mos_smf.php file was actually copied...  sometimes the package manager fails in the copy...  and the description of your problem sounds like that...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function md5_hmac() in I:\louipimps\forum\Sources\MOS_SMF.php on line 171

I'm getting this error when trying to login from the mambo page with the latest bridge?
