Mambo Open Source

[[Unknown]]

But that makes any installation of SMF used with Mambo... practically unmoddable.  Actions can no longer be added with the package manager.  It would be better to edit index.php, I would argue.

Why does mambo_login have to be an action?  Couldn't it be a file, on the side...?

I certainly do not want to impede people from being able to mod their forums.

My problem came with the form submission.  Mambo needs to know where to send the info from the URL, and it was easiest to have it send it to SMF, and have SMF deal with it.  There is already an existing structure there, and I had to add only the one line to make it work.

Hmmmm..... you've got me thinking again (you're evil  ).  I could create *another* component for the login actions, and have Mambo worry about it there (with a "option=com_smf_login" or something similar).  Or, I could take a look at the SMF package manager, and try to add mambo_login that way.  With either of those options, I could use your code,  and it would require only one more installation step for the administrator.

Do you think it would be possible to do this via the package manager?  I will try the component method first, because most of the bridge is installed via the Mambo administration panel, but if I can't get that working, I'd like to try another option.

ok, with fresh install of Mambo 4.5.1a Stable and SMF RC1 the registration works fine however the login on mambo doesnt log user into SMF or vis versa. i installed the component and module on mamboforge and im stuck now.

EDIT:: Just read this.. i gues im done working on the site until you upload. btw.. you have a paypal donations email?

I've done a bunch of cleanup on the files.

The next release will have a login module that will log you into both Mambo and SMF at once (already working).  It also checks to see if the user logging-in exists in SMF only, and creates a Mambo user if that is the case, and then logs the user into both (already working).

I have versions for:

Mambo 4.5.0
Mambo 4.5.1 and 4.5.1a
SMF 1.0 RC1
SMF 1.0 RC2

These are all already created, I just have to put the installation packages together and write a few readme's.

I don't plan to do any work with Coppermine, sorry.

First off, I'm totally excited about this component. I discovered Mambo this week and thought, gee, I wonder if I could use SMF with it...lo and behold...

I just had a thought that might be interesting: Do you think it would be possible to sync the calendar in SMF with the Events Calendar component for Mambo? It might be redundant, but interesting. I'm not terribly good with PHP or MySQL, otherwise I'd fiddle with it myself.

Just tossing the idea out there for your amusement.

smf, mos and cpg are all working together with users integrated.

now i just need to work on the smf templete and the pointing links to and from the gallery, smf and mos.
thanks to Orstio!!!

Quick,

the site looks great. I wondered if I could get a package of RC1 from you? I can't download it and I haven't gotten any answers yet about where I can get it. I'll likely upgrade before the site launch to RC2, but I wanted to fiddle with it today to see how it generally worked. I'd really appreciate it.

I realize this will upset the SMF developers, but by the time my site is ready to go they'll probably have finished the mod for RC2.

[Abedie]

RC2 is allready available for days now.
If you can't download it there must be a reason for that. Did you PM or mail some staff member or post a question?

Greetings, Abedie.

Please look on the downloads page under "archived releases".  It is available there.

I haven't had time to respond to, or even fully read, your message yet - sorry.

It's alright, man. You're obviously insanely busy and I just had some unexpected free time. Thanks for the info - I didn't see that link.

[Orstio]

Wideye, it shouldn't be long now.  Quick had it up and running really fast without problems (at least nothing that can't be solved by looking in the readme).

There should be no need to move back to RC1.

now i just need to work on the smf templete and the pointing links to and from the gallery, smf and mos.

I've been thinking that releasing a theme for this as an example might be a good idea as well.  I'm not certain there are many people who are aware of all the things that can be done with theming.

[mattisme]

Wow, this is pretty exciting.. but i've got a question..

I discovered Mambo long after I've had a SMF running, so is there [or will there be] a way to bridge over my exsisting users to mambo?  Or is the database actually shared, so that won't be something to worry about?

If this has already been answered.. sorry.. I'm rather new to a lot of this, so please excuse my incompetence.

[wideye]

I'd be willing to help with or do the theme(s) if you don't have time or just don't want to do it. I'm a graphic designer and I've worked with it a lot lately, and have worked several years on front-end. I have the one I did in the gallery here. I can show you other stuff too, if you need.

Other than that I'm pretty useless in this project. I knew I should have done something more useful for grad school. Let me know & thanks for the update.

This would be a great idea... being new to mambo, I've been struggling with Mambo themes (in the process of doing a tutorial) and a simple basic theme, maybe aimed at the SMF default would be great.

I also appreciate your work on the bridge!  Combining these two great open source apps is pretty exciting!

Cheers,
John

Orstio....

Do you have the brige for SMF RC2 and Mambo 4.51a?

If so, would you point me to a link for it?
I'd like to gfet rid of those damned error messages, and I don't know enough php coding to do it myself.

thanks!

I have, but it's not yet public.

I have been following this thread for a while now can't wait to be able to try it.

I have SMF RC2 and CPG and would love to be able to add Mambo to the group 

Thank you so much for your work on this!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Even with extra mods for the front-end site! Didn't see that one coming! I was about to go to bed, too...

There was a question about a PayPal donation link earlier. Do you have one? You are a wonderful person for putting up with all the pressure from us.
