smf bridged Mambo 4.6.1 help

[Orstio]

Set the bridge to use Mambo default registration instead of bridge registration, and then try going to your wrapped forum, and clicking the register link... ;P

[mickyd2006]

Under registration in SMF Bridge I have the following options in a drop down menu..

> Use Bridge Registration
> Use SMF Registration
> Use Mambo/Joomla Registration
> Use Community Builder Registration
> Use Mambo Charge Registration

It doesnt matter which one I choose I get the same thing when I click on register....
Sorry to be a pain!

[Orstio]

> Use Mambo/Joomla Registration


Choose that one.

Make sure to click Save after making the change.

[mickyd2006]

Yep, just tried that... Clicked save.... went to my mambo install.. clicked forum then the register button and got the same thing

[Orstio]

After you click Save, does the value in the dropdown reflect the change you made?

[mickyd2006]

yes it does... after I clicked save it takes me back to the first tab with the path info etc.. I click back on the registration tab and it is still selected on use mambo joomla registration

[Orstio]

Both of your problems (The 4: 4: at the bottom, and the fact that the button won't change) are the result of the SMF PlanetFall theme.  It was written for SMF 1.1 beta 3, not SMF 1.1 final, and it is hard-coded to point to bridge registration.

[mickyd2006]

Ummm do you mean to say that the theme is for 1.1 Rc3 and my forum is 1.1 final which is the cause of the problem? Only im using SMF 1.1 RC3 and not SMF final..??

[Orstio]

No, I mean the theme is for SMF 1.1 BETA 3.

[mickyd2006]

Oh ok lol.....
Well Is there a way to remove the registration button altogether do you know??

[Orstio]

Actually, if you want to go to your index.template.php for that theme, you can find this on line 349:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $GLOBALS['mosConfig_live_site'],'/',basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '?option=com_smf_registration&task=register">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/register.gif" alt="' . $txt[97] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[97]), '</a>';


Change it to this:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/register.gif" alt="' . $txt[97] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[97]), '</a>';


[mickyd2006]

Hey... that is so much better... thank you, thank you so much!!!!!!!

i dont suppose you could solve one last puzzle for me... Its probably because of the template version but when i go the board general discussion.. the footer is totally white.... :S

[Orstio]

Check your CSS file for titlebg2.  I bet it has a background color of white.

[mickyd2006]

I dont see it...

That's probably the problem, then. 

[mickyd2006]

Inbetween waiting for your always speedy responses.. I found this

/* This is used on tables that should just have a border around them. */
.tborder
{
   border: 1px solid silver;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
   padding: 2px;

knowing that FFFFFF is white I attempted a change and what do you know.. it works =]

Thanks Orstio for you time and patience in helping me with these issues... to some easy enough to resolve but to one so new to Mambo... not so easy..

You have been a brilliant help... absolute star m8!!!!!!!

Many Many Thanks!!!!

What SMF mods do you have installed?

[mickyd2006]

I did a quick search while I was waiting....
It turns out that the hide post mod was conflicting... Strange... it wasnt doing that before...
Well its no great loss.... Just glad to have the bridge in and working......

[Orstio]

Does the Hide Post mod make changes to the theme?  If so, then those changes will need to be made manually to non-default themes.

[mickyd2006]

I'm not sure buddy.. I'll deal with the hide post mod issue later.. I'm just glad to have the bridge in and running... It makes all the difference and I cant thank you enough for first, creating the bridge and secondly for offering all this time and support to people like me... clueless lol.

We got there in the end... lol... I really should slow down and read clearer lol
