After downloading bridge

[oliveskate]

So I just downloaded the bridge for Mamboo and SMF forum, where do i go now to change the settings and all to get it to work?

[Orstio]

Version of Mambo?  Version of bridge?

[oliveskate]

Smf_1-1Mambo4-6_bridge_1-1beta-2.zip

latest version of mambo

[Orstio]

Latest is not a version.  Please go to your Mambo admin panel and check the version number.

[oliveskate]

Sorry, it's
Mambo version: 4.6.1

[Orstio]

Good.

Go to your Mambo admin panel.  Go to the Installer->Universal Installer menu.

Click the Browse button, and find the bridge file you downloaded.  Click "Upload and Install".

Go to the Components Menu.  You should now see an entry there for the SMF Bridge.  Go to it, and click "Edit Config".

Whichever you want.

[oliveskate]

Which one would I use for when some one registers to site it registers to forum also?

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

[Orstio]

Any of them.  Choose the one you want.  The bridge will look after the rest.

Well to get the forum attached to the site, all I've done is install the bridge.

Go to your Mambo admin panel.

Go to the Menu menu.  Click on mainmenu.

Click New.

Choose Component.  Click Next.

Choose the SMF Bridge. Give the item a name (probably Forum or something similar).

Click Save.

Does your SMF database user have access to your Mambo database?  Does your Mambo database user have access to your SMF database?

[oliveskate]

Path to SMF


my forum url?

I dont think my smf forum have access to my mamboo

How can i add/change that?

[Orstio]

Path to SMF


my forum url?

No.  A path is not a URL.  This is the path to your Mambo installation:

/home/gamer360/public_html/site

Depending on where you installed SMF, your path will look similar.  You can find it by going to your SMF admin panel, and clicking on Server Settings.  It will be in the field labelled "Forum Directory".
