Bridge 1.1.4 problem (forum display?)

[sukl]

Hi, I have upgraded to 1.1.4 bridge with Joomla 1.0.8. I upgraded the bridge by following the instructions. The bridge works fine on my computer but some users in our organization are complaining that the forum is not displaying properly.

See here: http://www.hcl.org/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,184/ [nofollow]

I am not sure why some computers would display it properly and some not. All the users that had this problem as well as users that don't experience other problems use IE6. First I thought it may be a cookie problem or some other browser setting but I didn't find anything.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

be more specific "not displaying properly" could described any of thousands of possible displays...  It seems to display just fine for me... but  don't know what it's "supposed" to look like either.

Thank you for looking into it. Yes I also keep getting 404 errors at times now. Until a week ago I used the 1.1.2 bridge with Joomla 1.0.7. and everything worked great for 4 months. Now I upgraded to Joomla 1.0.8. and bridge 1.1.4 and I seem to be getting these problems. I removed any bridge code from the site template. Was I supposed to do that? Thanks.

Add this to the bottom of your Joomla template:

<?php mysql_select_db($GLOBALS['db_name']); ?>

Ah spoke too soon.  Please go to http://www.hcl.org/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,184/ [nofollow] and click General Discussion. It will give you 404 error. Any ideas?

Thanks

Paki, thanks for your link however I am not sure what you are referring to?

Are you having trouble after turning on SEF in Joomla? Getting 404 errors when you try to access this:

Code:
The requested URL /component/option,com_smf/Itemid,27/board,49.0 was not found on this server.
Ensure your HTACCESS file's Standard SEF section looks like this. If it does, and the problems continue, THEN post on the SMF boards about it.

########## Begin Standard SEF Section
## ALL (RewriteCond) lines in this section are only required if you actually
## have directories named 'content' or 'component' on your server
## If you do not have directories with these names, comment them out.
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteRule ^(content/|component/) index.php
#
########## End Standard SEF Section


Although it is CLEARLY documented in the HTACCESS file itself, people still have trouble with it. Having it in the README file will reduce most of it since people will be reading it while trying to install it, though some people will still disregard it.

Ostrio, thanks. It looks like the forum is working now.
