Plz HELP!!! Joomla + SMF bridge -- serious session problems

[bobbykashyap]

help... help... im stuck... donno where 2 go n what to do 

even though FTP n cPanel file manager shows me the mod_smf login module having the

Code Select Expand

onsubmit="hashLoginPassword(this,.........
the final login page when the user enters the site is still without the hashLoginPassword.

Also, the user menu is not displayed for users after they login. It happens something like this.
1. user login from joomla welcome page.
2. user doesnt see user menu
3. user click on forums, user is redirected to SMF successfully.
4. from the forums, user click on LOGOUT
5. smf redirects the user back to joomla main page. user can see the login form, showing him as "guest". obvious, coz he clicked on LOGOUT @ smf page. but.... hold on... user can see the user menu now!!

orstio, kindred... any pointers for me?

thanks guys

Is the mod package from 3.19a (step 1) still installed in SMF?

Is the mod package from 3.19a (step 1) still installed in SMF?

hi orstio... nope I have uninstalled all 3.19 components and installed 3.20 freshly.
But, I see the following in Joomla administration.
Modules:

Module File	Version	Date
mod_smf_login	3.20	October 2005

Components

Currently Installed	Component Link	Author	Version	Date
Simple Machines Forum Registration	option=com_smf_registration	Theodore Hildebrandt	3.19	20.09.2004
SMF Bridge	option=com_smf	Simple Machines	3.20	2005.09.05

SMF Registration still shows 3.19. Something fishy?

I'm not talking about the modules and components in Joomla.

Go to your SMF admin panel.  Click on Package Manager.

Is there still a mambo_mod in the Package Manager?

that definitely gave me a heart attack. I dont see it in my SMF package manager.
i'm definitely missing something!! I did a search in here (SMS > community), i dont see much references about mambo_mod. hmm im totally lost!

Ostrio... plz rescue me

If it's not there, then that's a good thing.  1.1.2 does not require a SMF package mod.  3.19a did require a SMF package mod, however, it must be uninstalled in order for 1.1.2 to work correctly.

orstio...
will upgradin my Joomla to 1.0.8 and using the new bridge help?

thx for the help.

[Kindred]

upgrading to Joomla 1.0.8 will require modifications to the bridge code...  considering where you are at now, I would say a big NO...

In addition... 1.1.2 (aka 3.20) is the most recent version of the bridge. There is nothing to upgrade to...
