Xoops Bridge Beta 2

[off2dr]

Orstio,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! for this bridge.  I have been ujsing xoops since 2006 and bridged my xoops with smf early last year (2007) with your module. I have no problems other than asking people to use the site's bridged login instead of the forum login but hey, that's ok.. It works for us.

My site get a fairly large amount of traffic (8,000) hits a day on average. I love the smf forum, I love xoops and I just wanted to finally take the time to thank you.

To see my site, if you are interested, it is: hxxp:www.off2dr.com [nonactive]

Best Wishes to you for much success in whatever endeavors you find yourself in.

Pam

Is there some detailed instruction on how to install this bridge and get it working?

Also some simple questions

1.  What happens to those already registered on smf forum do they have to re register?

2. Is it now that registration has to occur in xoops login and this bridges to smf?

3. Does the bridge only work with a basic smf installation with default theme and no packages?

Is there some detailed instruction on how to install this bridge and get it working?

Unzip it, and upload the "smf" folder to your Xoops modules folder.  Install it in your Xoops administration panel as you would any other module.

Then configure the module, and make sure that the bridge login block is visible, and the default Xoops login is not visible.

1.  What happens to those already registered on smf forum do they have to re register?

No.  As they each login, they will each be transferred to Xoops.

2. Is it now that registration has to occur in xoops login and this bridges to smf?

No.  Registration can occur in either Xoops or SMF.

3. Does the bridge only work with a basic smf installation with default theme and no packages?

No.  It will work with any SMF theme, and I haven't heard of any incompatible mods yet.

then i get a blank page, why is that

[Orstio]

A blank page is a suppressed PHP error.

This is most often caused by an incorrect absolute path in the bridge configuration.

What did you use as the absolute path to SMF in the bridge configuration?

First of all thanks to Orstio for the bridge and to all members for the guidance. I almost solve all my trouble. I'm using smf 1.17 and Bridge 1.1 beta 2 with XOOPS 2.3.1. Database for xoops and smf installed separately with one database user. I installed the bridge fine and smf bridge login blocks hidden. User can log in both xoops and smf but if I logged as admin then I go to administration, smf keep asking me the password every times I click any links in administration section. The other problem is, if normal user logged in, they cannot access the board password protected even the password provided. For information, Ive follow all the instructions discussed here. I lost, any of part I missed?

[Orstio]

What are your settings for:

Subdomain independent cookies?

Local storage of cookies?

Database driven sessions?

[haness05]

Thank you for the reply Orstio.

settings  in SMF

Subdomain independent cookies - checked

Local storage of cookies - unchecked

Database driven sessions - checked

[Orstio]

How about if you turn off database driven sessions?

[haness05]

After I unchecked Database driven sessions then I save the setting, it said "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again". I log out then log in again. Cache and cookies cleared in my browser but no change. It remain the same in result.

Orstio - first thank you for the bridge and all the hard work. For those of us not gifted with coding, but can do enough damage piecing together the Legos, Salute!

Purpose: Family website for next years gathering. Providing a common place to post memories recipes, etc. Found a module for XOOPS and Family Tree creation. Will also be integrating Gallery2 with a bridge, er I hope. Website can be found here hxxp:www.barrdubose.org [nonactive]

Process: Installed XOOPS 2.3.1, SMF 1.1.7, and the Bridge Beta 2. After reading through the following posts, changing the last bit of code, the XOOPS login block will now transfer into SMF.

Problem: Went to create a new user. Accepted the email, logged in using the XOOPS login block (note the SMF login block never showed up period) as the new user. XOOPS access but no SMF access? So somewhere they aren't syncing up? Thoughts?

Lastly, is there a way to keep SMF up on the front page, showing at all times, plus remove the login block inside of SMF. Don't want to confuse the masses.

[Orstio]

You need to configure your bridge module in the Xoops admin panel.

[option]

"Wrap SMF in the Xoops template?"
does not work, does not show the forum in xoops

also when you log in xoops is not shared in the forum (login separately)

What did you type into the "path to SMF" text box?

[option]

path forum

[Orstio]

This error is fatal, so concerns me far more than that warning:

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/index.php' (include_path='.;\xampplite\php\pear\') in E:\xampplite\htdocs\xoops\modules\smf\index.php on line 91

Do you have a URL I can see?

[chinaren]

Anyone plan on upgrading this to SMF2 and later Xoops versions? 


It would be nice to have! 

[option]

I'm interested, I think we could donate (by paypal)

Since Orsito has left the community and this has not been touched for over 6 years, I think it is unlikely to have any movement on it....
