smf bridge and phpshop

[Orstio]

I have sacraficed the forum over the shop. I have been trying to get the Mambohack integration to work as well, with no luck on that front either.

I suggest not using that, because it will modify your forum copyright, which is a violation of your license agreement.

I have a look through the installation script. It definately changes the copyright. Not to hard to take out that change from the install.

I'm just desperate to get the forum up and running again.

Well I have done a work around to use the bridge with mambo-phpShop. It does not use the hack that is available.

Basically I have disabled user registration in the checkout. When a new custmer comes to the shipping address they are asked to login or register using the bridge login module.

Once they register they then are presented with the standard phpShop shipping information page.

Works ok but it does add an additional step in the checkout.

Is there any chance of posting the code you've mangled?

Gerald,

I'll put together what I have done. I've just had my first complaint regarding the now "awful" (quoted) shopping cart. One user has found the mangled registration a real pain...

The additional step in the checkout process is a pain.

Did anyone ever find a answer to this problem?  I am encountering the same thing using the SMF Bridge from Mambo, and PHPShop.  I can't get the user to add to the SMF User database, so then anyone using the login module can't access order info.  Thanks for any help

The bridge for SMF 1.1 RC2 should work for this.  However, the users that register through PhpShop won't be added to SMF until they login the first time.

I currently have RC1 installed, with the applicable version of the bridge.  Is this a seamless upgrade?  Or do I need to remove anything/reinstall and files?  Thanks!

You can just upgrade SMF.

Download the new bridge from here:

You are probably best to uninstall the two components, and the login module, and then install the new bridge.  Don't forget to configure, and don't forget the code in your template.

Something users that are migrated from the PhpShop registration will notice is that when they try to login to the forum, they will be faced with the message "Password security has recently been upgraded.  Please login again."  This is perfectly normal.  They will be logged in on the next attempt.
