Not quite... I've been spending some time on working on the new SMF theme, so this has taken a back seat... what I have *is* fairly stable I think, but I do need to do some more bug testing... I've found one bug that really bothers me that I have to work on fixing that this can't be released without fixing.

And when you fix this bug ... why not put out an alpha or beta and then everyone can help point out bugs.
I have a bug in my Mambo / SMF bridge, but not sure who can help me with that :P

Is this available yet anywhere?  :)
will be a guinea pig...

edit:
It looks like this has been forgotten. I'm going to do it using SMF's API and Magento's API. It doesn't look too complicated. I'll post the code here when finished (a week or 2).
"Every generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?"

I haven't really forgotten about it, I simply don't have the time to continue development on it.  On top of that, Magento is a very large, slow ecommerce solution that I wouldn't recommend to the average joe user who uses shared hosting.

I'll see if I can find the tar.gz file I had with all of my work in it to post for anyone to try and pickup on and use.

That would be awesome

I am trying again magneto but your right about it being slow and painfull to use..... Prefer oscommerce .. tbh .

I think I am done with the code to have Magento communicate with SMF. I have tested the login/logout and it works. The other stuff like registration, change password, etc are written, but I need to test and probably troubleshoot and it will likely be the weekend before I get to it. I was able to (hopefully) accomplish this using a heavily modified version of SMF api and modifying (slightly) 3 files in Magento. I'm trying to change as little as possible so it can be updated.

The SMF to Magento part should be cleaner because of the integration hooks already in place and Magento's API... but I haven't started that yet

SlammedDime, if you still have your files I would love to see them, especially regarding the half I need.

Could we mark this topic as unsolved? Or should I start another topic next time I post about this?

Thanks. Wish me luck

Here are the files I was playing with.

Magento.php goes in the main SMF Directory, and you have to add a value to the smf settings table for 'integrate_pre_include' with a value of '$boarddir/Magento.php'
