Odd behaviour in registration module...

[Kindred]

Orstio...   

this is strange. I have 3 sites running the bridge (3.11 now)

1st site was an overlay. Everything works fine.

2nd site was an uninstall then reinstall...  everything works fine

3rd site was a brand new install. and there are issues...

Whe I register a new user, through the com_smf_registration component, I get an SMF error message:
A Database error has occurred.

The user seems to be loaded into mambo (unverified), thus "blocked" but is not added into SMF... and thus can not get into the site.

I have seen this before.

This is a multiple database site, yes?

Check to make sure that the Mambo database user has access to the SMF database, and vice versa.

Actually, no... it's a single database site.
Mambo WAS set up using fantastico... and then SMF was setup manually, in the same database.

Users can be added to mambo or smf manually, but if added to SMF manually, they come up as "blocked" in mambo.

<edit>
Found the problem...

Every time you SAVE the smf - forum component setup, it ADDS the SMF database infor before the smf-prefix.
in other words, the first time I saved it, it read `database`.smf_
the second time I saved it, it read `database`.`database`.smf_
and so on...

A definite issue...

I'm having the same issue as well.  If you can figure out how to fix it, I'd be glad to know.

[Kindred]

Oh.. the fix is easy.

Make certain your SMF prefix line has no copies of the database in ticks...

Save ONCE.

you're all set...

Alternatively, you can gi edit mambo/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php
