I am knew to SMF, I have just transferred from phpBB on a PHPNuke CMS.
I am now using Mambo in conjunction with SMF and I am very happy... except that the following is happening whenever post, or create anything.

I also get a session timeout error if I try and update any of the configuration settings. 

The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message.
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

Any ideas?

Also, when I try and put a username in is doesn't let you...
It just comes up with

You should fill in a username.

If you had looked around a bit, you would have found a subject just the same as yours.

I know, but that topic was marked as solved and is also old.

My problem cannot be solved like the previous user as I have tried changing themes with no luck.

Thanks,

1- You are using the joomlahacks version of the bridge, which is not really supported here.

2- Did you try changing to a theme specifically designed for 1.1 RC1?

3- it might have something to do with the fcat that you are trying to access your forum outside of the mambo-bridge...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.

The only reason I am using the Joomlahacks version is that it includes a Joomla/SMF user synchronisation script which I needed.
Is there another bridge which will sync my joomla database?

I am very excited about getting this Joomla/SMF site up and running and I am also planning on migrating 5 of my other sites so I'm here to stay!

In my forum error log I am also getting the following error...

I too am having the same issue. Every time trying to add posts via the wrapped joomla forum. If I access the forum outside of the joomla wrapper it works fine. So ok.. but that's not the point of having SMF integrated with joomla.

Any help would be appreciated. As far as I know I'm using a default theme which I would assume is current.

That's exactly the error I saw over and over when I was running SMF 1.1 RC1 with an older theme for it.

Hi,

I am having this same problem.  I am running Joomla 1.0.7, SMF 1.1 RC2 and Bridge Mambo, Joomla SMF 1.1.2 with the default out of the box themes.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Darren

Did you add the code from the readme.html into the head of your Joomla template?

Do you have a URL?

[Darren996]

I double checked the template code.

Here's a link, Llama Council.  It's a spoof site.  I promise I won't spam you.  Thanks for any help.

I have another board with the same configuration and it works fine.  I am looking at the differences:

The non-working board had users ported.
The non-working board had Joomlaboard on it.  No port, just removed.
The non-working board is running php5, working board is php4.

[Orstio]

Your Joomla template has two xml statements, two doctype declarations, and two head tags.  This can cause some issues.

[Darren996]

Yes.  Doesn't cause any issues at greatersedona.com.  I will rectify the double tags when I get the time.   

I'm not blaming anybody.  I just don't know what it is.  I think it's something not intuitive 

[Darren996]

Hi Orstio,

I got rid of one set of xml, doctype, html, head, body tags.  I even modified the SMF theme to not drop html, head and body tags when wrapped.  I still have the same problem, "Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message. "

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Darren

[Darren996]

Hi Orstio!

I finally figured it out.  When I set my domain to use PHP4 the session timeouts and verification failures went away.  Maybe my php.ini settings are different between php5 and php4?

Darren

[Darren996]

Does anybody have this bridge running under PHP5?

[chuotmay]

oh my god... my problem is the same. hosting php5. smf tell me
"The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
