Xoops Bridge Beta 2

[Lance_]

This looks like a cloned template?

Can you try recompiling the template for the bridge module?

Go to your Xoops admin panel.  Mouseover the System Admin icon.  Click on Modules.

In the bridge row, click on the Update icon under the Action column.

Click the Update button.  This should recompile your template and reinsert it into the database.

Actually happened on the default template, then generated a cloned template to see if it would fix. No luck.
Tried uninstalling-reinstalling, delete templates, regenerate, checked in the DB and the entries for the smf templates are there.

What worries me is "Error message: Table 'user_smfforumdb.12345_tplfile' doesn't exist", the table with prefix 12345_tplfile is in the xoopsdb, not the smfforumdb. Isn't it looking for it at the wrong place??

Perhaps your host changed something?

Can you make sure that your SMF database user has access to your Xoops database?

I'm the host, so no changes server side in the time it worked and stopped working.
I use the same user to access both DBs.

I install another instance of xoops to see what happens.

/EDIT

Works on a clean install, something must have messed up. Darn
Guess I'll have to reinstall the other site and test step by step when I add stuff.

THanks for the help Orstio.

Well, I was able to replicate the problem again on another fresh install with only the smf bridge installed as a module.

NOTE: Do not turn on the "Check templates for modifications ?" option in preferences, that messes up the SQL query.

I seem to have a problem in my custom theme, as it messes it up still, yet the default theme works fine. I can change back and forth the theme and option in the fresh install to replicate the problem at will.

I am however unable to fix the original site, that one won't work on any theme. And I still need to find what the problem in the theme itself was.

Cheers,


/EDIT

Regenerating the template as mentionned above has fixed my original install.
Now only the theme to find what caused the problem.

/EDIT2

Well it appears to truly be dependant on the template creation. You cannot use the bridge on multiple themes, as that screws up the template loading.

Therefore in order to fix the problem, or not have it, you needed to uninstall/reinstall the bridge, regenerate a clone template for the bridge, every time you wish to change the theme used.

Any bridge available for SMF 2 beta3 and Xoops.

[Orstio]

Not yet.  I want to get Mambo stable, then push out a new alpha, and then work on either Xoops or e107 for SMF 2.0.

[Trulyana]

How do i configure the module? I have added the SMF module into it. Now, what would i need to do? What would be the absolute path to smf?

[Orstio]

Go to your SMF admin panel, Server Settings.  Copy the contents of the field labelled "SMF Directory".  Paste that into the bridge as the absolute path.

Thank you very much for your help. It is done and up.

I want to know whether this bridge will act properly for
SMF 1.1.5 ,
Xoops 2.0.1.8
Yougurt 3.1RC

I actually I tried with this but there is problem... on SMF block ... only SMF forum is visible (and not loggin out then).... and unable to browse Xoops as such..

Can anyone help please... I just want to use Yogurt part of the Xoops for SMF members (SMF 1.1.5 a fresh install as this bridge is available for SMF 1.x only). I donot require SMF 1.1.5 for discussions. I am running SMF 2 beta as separate forum.

What should be exact sequences to accomplish this. I have tried everything as mentioned on page 2 of this post.
Now I am trying again for fresh install. looking for valuable suggestion.

[Orstio]

Can we see a URL?

[bschhikara]

it is

www.indianscience.in/network  ------ xoops

and forum is at www.indianscience.in/forum

i am able to login on forum. when i login on xoops then forum can be browsed but xoops menu and administration are not accessible.

Xoops and forum both are fresh install and use same database.

Now I can make changes through database only (as xoops is unavailable)... please help how I can do that.


reason for edit: sentence correction

[Orstio]

You do understand that this is your bridge:

http://www.indianscience.in/network/modules/smf/

[bschhikara]

Yaah I understand that... bridge is at this location...

but main thing is how do I (or SMF user) access the Xoops (mainly yogurt)...

[Orstio]

Have you tried logging in here?

http://www.indianscience.in/network/modules/smf/

[bschhikara]

yaah I tried.... but log is for forum only..

[bschhikara]

I (SMF user) can login on this bridge... forum is visible and accessible (embeded inside)...

but now as I click on http://www.indianscience.in/network/modules/yogurt/

I (SMF user) is not logged in that...

[bschhikara]

u can check for userID/passvd

test / test

[bschhikara]

I have tired of trying with testing it with fresh installs as well...... but it is not integrating SMF 1.1.5 with Xoops. SMF users are not able to login on Xoops. A futile effort.........

 Orstio, you probably already know this but I was playing around and looking at the fields in the Xoop's database and I noticed that there is no field in the database for the Use Custom Sessions option. Every other possible configuration has a field in some table in the database. I don't know if this could be the cause of the mysterious cookie problem that has been around?

Also, I think something may be getting added to the first password check in Xoops, because it always says Password Incorrect, then the login again gives the cookie error. Anyway, I got it working in reverse but new users still have to login thrice , once through Xoops, then again at the forum (twice), subsequent logins to Xoops will also log them into the forum.

Anyway, I did find it interesting that the use custom session field is missing from the Xoop's database.

But then again, I'm probably stating something you already know.

At least it's working good enough for now.

Jeff
