when i download i always get a corrupt archive
any mirror available?

[Kindred]

no...  there are no mirrors.


I just downloaded and checked and the file works fine for me.
How do you know you get a corrupt archive?
Are you EXTRACTING the files FIRST before trying to load it as a component?
(you should be loading the zip file called com_smf.zip as a component, not the overall archive)

[Twistor]

when I open it it says corrupt and no files show in it
But its ok now I installed winzip and it works now
winrar can't open it i guess

cheers

[Excalibur!]

I checked and WinRAR opens without any problems...

Quick question, I uninstalled this bridge as the requirements for the site I am building no longer include a forum.  The uninstall went fine (ie I'm back to using CB's login and everything works), except there's still references to SMF's CSS and such in the pages Joomla! generates, however I can't find where this is coming from.

Stuff like:

Code Select Expand

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rod/joomla/smf/Themes/default/script.js?rc2"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://rod/joomla/smf/Themes/default/style.css?rc2" />

Etc etc..  any idea how to eliminate these?  Thanks in advance.

(Good component BTW, everything installed perfectly when I set it up)

There should be a mambot called SMF_Header_include.  Uninstall that as well.

[jason.s]

Awesome, that did the trick.  Thanks!

Becareful. The new 1.0.9 seems to cause issues with the bridge....and can mess up your board quite abit.

On joomlahacks.com (namly this topic: http://www.joomlahacks.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,94/topic,1769.msg8230;topicseen#msg8230 ) they said the same thing. I highly doubt they are using the same bridge, but I am also having problems after ive upgraded. I thought it was something else, but I highly doubt it.

Everyone is viewed as a guest, even when they login with case correct (which is another annoying issue) they are still viewed as a guest. Something went wrong, and im trying to go back to 1.0.8 now.

For reference, click my banner. Its the site im talking about. You will need a member name to seem what I mean.

I can't speak for the joomlahacks integration.  I know that component makes changes to core Joomla and SMF files, which can result in some nasty things happening with certain upgrades.

For the 1.1.4 bridge, one small change needs to be made for the Joomla 1.0.9 upgrade.  Find this in smf.php (in the integrate_login function):

Code Select Expand

//Joomla 1.0.8 compatibility

if (isset($_VERSION) && $_VERSION->PRODUCT == 'Joomla!' && $_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL >= '8'){
$remCookieName = mosMainFrame::remCookieName_User();
                        $remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd );
setcookie( $remCookieName, $remCookieValue, $lifetime, '/' );
}


and replace it with this:

Code Select Expand

//Joomla 1.0.8 compatibility

if (isset($_VERSION) && $_VERSION->PRODUCT == 'Joomla!' && $_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL >= '8'){
$remCookieName = mosMainFrame::remCookieName_User();
//Joomla 1.0.9 compatibility
                        if ($_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL>='9')
$remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd ) . $row['id'];
                        else
$remCookieValue = mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_User( $username ) . mosMainFrame::remCookieValue_Pass( $passwd );
setcookie( $remCookieName, $remCookieValue, $lifetime, '/' );
}


For future reference, you will probably not find very valuable information about this bridge at joomlahacks.com, nor will you find much valuable information about the joomlahacks integration here.

Heh, yea I know. I Just found the site and they said something about some bridge not working. But, that was very quick....

I just replaced the files back to .08 and everything is fine again. I will test that code out on my test server before I do it again.

Thanks for doing that update.

I have upgrade now to Joomla 1.0.9 and modify the smf.php how say Ostrio and works great
Thanks for your job.

Wow.  Had no problems on 1.08.  Just did a fresh install of 1.09 and made the changes above.  It installed and then once enabled it jacked the layout of my site and style sheet and did not work.  I am assuming this means I am going to have re-install?  Ideas where I went wrong?

This was the error message I received when I synched:

It doesn't look like you actually have the bridge installed there....

Guys, I must be loosing my memory or I am overworked. Two weeks ago I upgraded to Joomla 1.0.8 and I had the same problem and I fixed it but now I can't recall what I did. 

The problem is:
When I log in to front-end using the smf login module it won't recognize that I am an admin (or special group) and I can't edit items from front-end. On the other hand when I published the native login module for Joomla it works fine.

Thanks

Ludek

[Kindred]

and did you apply the hack-fix to smf.php that is required to work with 1.0.9?

[sukl]

Kindred, thank you for your reply. No I haven't applied the hack-fix to 1.0.9. Where do I download it from? I couldn't find it in the forum.

Thanks

[Wolfenrook]

You don't download it, you apply it yourself.  The instructions are on the previous page of this thread.
