Mambo Open Source

[MKaprocki]

FThe first issue is the polls.  It seems that my mambo polls are only visible to users who are logged on.  It still shows the "poll" heading, but no poll.  Once you login, everything is as it should be.  I'm almost positive I saw something on these boards related to polls, but I can't seem to find it again, if anyone can point me to that post that would be awesome.

I'm having the same problem as you.   It's not an issue of being logged in or not, but the address you're viewing.  If you go to your site at http://www.uhlpost.com/ [nofollow] then the polls won't work.  If you click the Home button, it'll work...because it adds the Itemid and component (http://www.uhlpost.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 [nofollow]). 

I've tracked it down to the new login module, but haven't checked in that code to find the problem...I'll leave that to Orstio.

The next issue is with the layout.  Some pages, and its never the same page, will go beyond the bottom of the mambo layout.   However, once you refresh the page, it fixes itself.  I'm not sure what is causing this problem, so if anyone as any ideas, please let me know.

What Mambo theme/skin/whatever they call it are you using?  Are you using Firefox?  If so, this may be caused by known Firefox flow problems.  These should be resolved in the 1.1 release of Firefox, if so.

Ok,  I've had some time to play with the 2.03 version of the bridge.

The logins and logouts work acceptably well now...

However, Polls inside of SMF are still an issue.

I can post a new poll.
neither I nor any user can vote in the polls. It shows

The page you are trying to access does not exist.
Please select a page from the main menu.

when trying to access this page:

Code Select Expand


http://www.turtleshellprod.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=48&?action=vote;topic=8.0;poll=4


Now...  on another poll-related note, the bridge also apparently interferes with the Pie-Chart mod. If I go into SMF diretcly, I can get my pie-chart results of polls.
If I go in through the mambo interface, clicking on pie chart calls up another instance of the mambo page at the top-level (home).

The issues with SMF polls are an incompatibility of variable names with Mambo.  I believe [Unknown] has fixed it for the next release of SMF.

For those having trouble with the Mambo polls module, I suggest the PollXT module, which you will be happier with, anyway:

First, thank you all for the replys.  I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner.

Orstio - those poll are way better, I'll be using them from now on.  Thanks for the link

[Unknown] - I'm using the core of the default solarflare theme that comes with mambo which I've customized to my liking.  I haven't made any positioning changes though, only colors etc.  I was using firefox 1.0pr.  With firefox 1.0 [just came out today] I haven't noticed any problems yet, so maybe that was the problem.  I also haven't noticed it in ie or netscape.

[unknown] -  the new release of firefox does show the error from time to time.  I'm still not sure what it is, and the problem is that its so random.  Its not a particular page, and its not on every page load.  In fact, if it does happen, and you simple refresh the page, everthing appears as it should.

The solar flare template has many issues with Layout and components - and an update was released a day or so ago - called solar Flare II.

It still has a few issues, although most fixes are available from the mambers.com forum.

As I said, np:

If so, this may be caused by known Firefox flow problems.  These should be resolved in the 1.1 release of Firefox, if so.

Because it is obviously a bad idea to do "muck around" in the code, even when you have an idea what's wrong, just before a release... it was, of course, not fixed in 1.0.  I would have been appauled if it had.  Rather, it will be resolved in the next major release (after 1.0) of Firefox.

This is really a bug in the Gecko engine, and will effect other browsers - some Konqueror browsers, Mozilla, etc. as well.

Hi all,

i´m new to this forum and first i have to say, you guys make a very good job. Thx for this.

Now my prob:

My webhoster have set "Magic Quotes = off". If i try to login with the 2.03 version of the bridge i get the following error: "You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings."
My question: Can anyone tell me what i can do to solve this?

I´ve asked my webhoster to change the "Magic Quotes" setting, but he won´t do it. 

Mambo = Version 4.5.1

SMF = Version 1.0 RC1


Any help is welcome.

JimP


------------------------------------------------


Prob solved. After a longer Google search i found the .htaccess way. Ok, i´m a beginner with this stuff. Much to learn.

Thx

JimP

Interesting.... do Mambo and SMF both automatically correct that setting if it's off?  They could conflict, if so.

I know SMF will add slashes if it is set to 0, so if Mambo does too...

Hi all,
I have installed SMF in a dir and all works fine. I also correctly installed (following the readme.txt instruction, package beta2) com_rc2, registration and login, with template modify.
the problem is when I try to acced to the forum thrue the menu link and appear the following alert (partially in italian):
Safari non può aprire la pagina "http://www.xxxx.it/portal/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=40". [nofollow]

L'errore è stato: "risposta server non valida" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) ("invalid server answer")

With Firefox, Mozilla and others, appear only a blank page.
This, both with GZip function checked/unchecked.
My server system:
Informazioni di Versione :
Versione del Forum:  SMF 1.0 RC2 (maggiori dettagli)
Versione corrente di SMF:  SMF 1.0 (preview)
Versione del PHP :  5.0.0
Versione di MySQL :  4.0.18-standard
Versione del Server :  Apache/2.0.48 (Fedora)
Versione di GD :  2.0 or higher

The same version working fine on the local MacOSX installation:

Versione del Forum:  SMF 1.0 RC2 (maggiori dettagli)
Versione corrente di SMF:  SMF 1.0 (preview)
Versione del PHP :  4.3.6
Versione di MySQL :  4.0.15
Versione del Server :  Apache/1.3.29 (Darwin) PHP/4.3.6
Versione di GD :  bundled (2.0.22 compatible)

Any idea? I'm blocked with the site

Tnx in advance

[Orstio]

Go to your Mambo control panel and turn off GZip compression.

Go to your Mambo control panel and turn off GZip compression.

Tnx Orstio, the error is changed, now, the new is:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ssi_shutdown() (previously declared in /home/web/www.xxxx.it/website/portal/forum/SSI.php:150) in /home/web/www.xxxx.it/website/portal/forum/SSI.php on line 152

and now I cannot make logout via smf login module
P.S. the GZip compression is indifferent in MacOSX server, I tried with all combination inabling/disabling on both Mambo and SMF
Any idea?

[MacFly]

Well, disabling GZip on Mambo, the forum works only with templates not modiefieds ( <?php  require ("components/com_smf/config.smf.php"); require ($smf_path . "/SSI.php");?>)
but don't the login module, in this case.
I  installed the beta4 pack and now seems working fine (I hope  ), only with GZip in Mambo disabled anyway.
Tnx a lots for your continuous support Orstio

Whoah! This sounds tricky. I'd love to have one login for both Mambo and SMF; however, this thread is super-long and indicates that if I were to try to do the integration, I'd be in for a heck of a lot of work (along with a bunch of errors I wouldn't understand or be able to fix). Is that true?

What do you folks suggest? Should folks with minimal coding skill just sit tight and wait, instead of messing around causing problems?

Sincerely,

This is EXACTLY the kind of comment I have had in my mind for a long time..

I've been waiting for solid, easy and working SMF+CMS integration for months, I have already chosen MOS to be my CMS and currently I use Simpleboard 1.0.3p3 until the SMF-MOS bridge is tested in production environment.

Btw, hopefully there's also coming a Simpleboard -> SMF converter soon

I think you should read the instructions.  This code added to the header:

Code Select Expand

<?php  require ("components/com_smf/config.smf.php"); require ($smf_path . "/SSI.php");?>

Is part of the old bridge, before the v2.0.  It has changed significantly.

Not necessarily.  The majority of "errors" reported have been people just not following instructions, or using instructions from the login module when installing the registration component, etc.

About the first half of this thread has nothing at all to do with the bridge component.

You'll need to be able to follow instructions, and you'll need to be able to modify your SMF theme as you wish.  That's all.

Well, curiosity (and boredom) finally got the best of me and I just spent about an hour setting everything up on my test site (no FTP access due to two stupid firewalls that I can't disable, so I had to split everything up into zip files and use the upload-and-unzip feature at net2ftp.org/beta). Very nice. I'm seriously considering converting my Enigma site to this. I know they're working hard over there, but this is just so cool . I'll talk to my users and see what they think.

EDIT: Oh yeah. Here's the link. http://test.oldiesmann.us/mambo
