Xoops Bridge Beta 2

[Orstio]

What control panel does your host provide?

[script_fu]

I set this up with two seperate MySQL databases. One for Xoops and one for Smf. Both databases share the same user in the MySQL account maintenance thru my cpanel. 

I have cpanel & whm...

OK, good. 

Go to your SMF admin panel.

Click on Server Settings.

Click on the Feature Configuration tab.

Make sure the box labelled "Enable compressed output" is unchecked.

i can't se login smf block in admin block ---- anonim user

Go to Xoops Admin menu
>System
>>Groups
>>> Anonymous users - Option: Modify

You got it 

PS: I use the custom block by broham, so I didn´t test the default SMF login that comes with the module





thanks orstio for the bridge and broham for the precious tips

I´m using SMF 1.1.3 and Xoops 2.016 at xampplite on my PC (http://localhost/xoops) and worked like a charm with SSI login block

I went to the url with /forums, and I got a 404 Not Found. but maybe you are doing something with the site right now?

When I rap the smf forum inside of the smf module/bridge it goes blank.

When I turn off the smf wrapper it go straight to the forums.

www.stangshop.com
www.stangshop.com/forums/

Have I missed something?

With SMF wrapped and it goes blank, what is the url?  What is the url when it is not wrapped going straight to the forum?
should be: http://www. yourxoops/modules/smf

In your SMF admin > Server Settings, what do you have set as the Forum Url? 
Best success if it is the url to the xoops bridge (the one above) and not the url to the stand alone SMF forum installation.
The paths beneath that should, however, point to the correct paths of the stand alone smf installation?

Also...

The first install was Smf 1.1.3.zip with all the above.
The second was Smf 1.1.2.zip...

You're better off going with 1.1.2 for the bridge to work until Orstio updates the bridge.  The SMF update to 1.1.3 causes the bridge to have an issue with Xoops sessions being killed by the SMF session.
Good luck.

I´m using SMF 1.1.3 and Xoops 2.016 at xampplite on my PC (http://localhost/xoops) and worked like a charm with SSI login block

oh well... now I tested the "default" SMF Login block from the bridge and noted that 'session bug' in (I´m using 1.1.3)
http://localhost/xoops/modules/smf/index.php - cant login anyway
with SSI block the brigdge isn´t needed, of course =/

I´ll wait then for orstio update to 1.1.3 when he have some time to fix it

thanks

Yes, the users will be migrated to Xoops as they each login.

Sorry for the missinformation

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

There are no additional blocks with this release.

Thanks for your patience, bug reports, and feature requests.  While I did not get all of the features requested into this release, there are many bug fixes, and if it proves substantially more stable, I will continue with adding features.

sadly it makes it close to worthless for me right now then (not saying you aren't working your ass off though).

mambo and xoops are out right now then (i can't stand mambo), joomla need to get their act together reguarding the gpl, guess i will wait then

Care to explain what you mean?  I'm not sure why you say it is worthless for you.  It bridges the two together.  No additional blocks are needed for that simple triumph to work.  I'm confused by this comment.  Maybe you have not gotten the bridge configured properly to see exactly what it does?

Orstio,

I too am having the blank-page with the wrapped forum problem.

and the smf login module never shows up, despite being marked as visible.

[Orstio]

You wouldn't be able to give me admin access to Xoops and SMF, would you Kindred?

[Orstio]

OK, thanks for the access.

Xoops works a little differently than other CMSs.  When you install a block, you not only need to make it visible, you also need to set the Groups access rights for the block.

So, you need to go to your Xoops admin panel, mouseover the System Admin icon, and choose Groups from the menu that appears.  Click on the Anonymous group (you'll want the block to appear to people who are not logged in).

On this page, you can select all blocks that appear/not appear for the Anonymous group.

As for the blank page, if you find this line in the bridge index.php:

Code Select Expand

$xoopsTpl->assign('smf_content', ob_xoopsfix($buffer));

And change it to this, does it work?

Code Select Expand

echo ob_xoopsfix($buffer);

[Kindred]

ok...

corrected the module display to allow anonymous users/guests to see it.

Your code corrected the blank page

now, when I try to login with the smf login module, I get
8: Only variables should be assigned by reference
File: /directory.../kernel/user.php
Line: 186

If I press <back>, this logs me in to xoops, but not to smf.
As a matter of fact, I CAN'T log into SMF at all, while in the xoops wrap.

(both dbs have access to each other, compressed output is off)

[Orstio]

In your Xoops admin panel, mouseover System Admin, and choose Preferences.

Click the Edit link next to General Settings.

Make sure that Use Custom Sessions is set to Yes.

[Kindred]

now it's worse...   the smf login module no longer logs me in to either xoops or smf

[Orstio]

Sigh -- Yeah, I just noticed you're using SMF 1.1.3.  1.1.3 wipes out the Xoops session cookie, and I haven't found a fix for it yet.
