On the SMF side, after installing the bridge, what does the Login link (?action=login) point to? The reason I'm asking is because I'm using a heavily modified template for SMF so not sure if there was some changes by the bridge that were not applied to it since it's not a default one. Thanks.
err I didnt realized that MamboHacks SMF bridge modifieds mambo/index.php and not mambo/templates/templatename/index.php. This is better actually since it will work on any template you have. To make smf searchbot work on your site using Mambohacks.com bridge add this code to your mambo/index.php:
Code:
if (file_exists($smf_path."/Settings.php")) require ($smf_path . "/Settings.php");
right after
Code:
if (file_exists($smf_path."/SSI.php")) require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php");[
This should be around line 28 under //MAMBOHACKS.COM category. Make sure you do this after you patch your index.php file via bridge's backend component. This is tested on Mambo 4.5.2.3 with the latest bridge. Take care.
Is it possible to make the integration work with GZIP enabled? I use it for other component's of my Mambo installation, yet it never seems to work with the SMF/Mambo combination.
IMPORTANT! THE INDEX.PHP FOR YOUR MAMBO TEMPLATE MUST BE MODIFIED!
The SMF bridge instructions tell you to add this code immediately above </head>:
global $sc, $context; if (!defined('SMF')){ require ("administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php"); require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php"); } $sc = &$context['session_id'];
You need to change this code to the following:
global $sc, $context; if (!defined('SMF')){ require ("administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php"); require ($smf_path . "/Settings.php"); require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php"); } $sc = &$context['session_id']; Simply add the missing line between the require statements.
If you don't do this, your site will not function!
I attempted this with Latest MamboHacks bridge and Latest Mambo. The bot DID NOT WORK. cowboy, post your thoughts or maybe post your working version please. This is a heavily anticipated feature...at least by me
d3vlabs: [Unknown], do you have a problem with the way that MamboHacks.com Mambo-SMF Bridge alters the copyright. One of the Charter Members told me that it's an issue and I don't wan to find about this when I start promoting my site and I receive a flow of users on the forums:
[Unknown]
I'm afraid that, after this was brought to my attention, I wasn't that happy, but did have mixed emotions. In the interest of maximum fairness, I described the issue for the entire team, and tried to take a rough vote.
Unfortunately, it was more or less unanimous that we did not like the change. I mean to contact the author of that fork of the bridge soon. However, if you have installed the mod I do not believe (this is just opinion) you are responsible for the breach in contract. That said, you will not get support here for the bridge unless the copyright is shown as it should be.
-[Unknown]
If you are standing strong on your decision to make such alteration, I just would like everyone using the bridge component to know that you will not receive support from official developers of the forum. Hopefully in the feature this situation will be worked out to where both the communities come to an agreement.
There was a Topic Replies Mod that had stats for the topic count for SMF that I used on my old site. I'm pretty sure I got it off this site, but now I can't find it. Went through whole Remository. Any links? Thanks
Different question, same module. Didnt' want to start a new thread.
Here we go, is it possible to customize the appearance of the Recent Topics module? I'm mainly looking into changing the font style/size/color. Was looking for a .css file yet not sure what function it uses if it uses SMF's theme css. Also checked the mod_smf_recent_topics.php, yet empty there for me as well. Thank you.
Here are the files that came with the mod:
mod_smf_recent_topics.php - wasn't able to find anything that affected the style. mod_smf_recent_topics.xml - just mambo installation info
P.S. Should I make my own CSS and then add the function to the .php file?
Does it matter which component I'm using to register when Mambo-SMF bridge is applied? Or is there a preference issue between using SMF's action=register or Mambo's register new user module?
And apparently the issue that I'm having is indeed a Mambo issue, it's a known bug and I posted about this.
Is this already part of the Mambo-SMF Forum and if not, is this possible?
I use Mambo deafult login component for my users log-in, which works just fine. However when users register using the text under it "register", they are automatically added to SMF database under "Members List" yet they are not added to Mambo's User Manager.
I understand that bridge becomes a master in this operation, thus giving SMF the right to control all user associated operations, yet there are options in Mambo whill allow to select access giving for Frontend/Backend which is really useful for my needs.
I see the option in Mambo-SMF componet to synchronize these databases, yet the main question is can this be an AUTMATED process, maybe using crontabs or something of that nature. Thank you for your time.
Hi. The SMF-Mambo integration has really reached its maturity, which you can tell by stable bridge file and amount of available modules that display smf functions in mambo. There is also a discussion bot which allows to make direct links to the forums from your news posts, indeed a useful feature.
However I think that the one thing that missing is the ability to search bridged SMF forum using Mambo's search function. This would prove a real convenience to the sites who don't want to clutter the interface with multiple search boxes, but instead prefer to have one search box for all of it's components. There is such a bot available for Simpleboard (Mambo's native forum) and many other components that work wtih a database. I was wondering if there is such a thing as SMF Mambo searchbot in development/existance/or someone's mind :x Sadly I'm not a coder myself, so all I can do is offer my general help. If someone wishes to code this please let me know and I'll happily contribute the resources that I have. Thank you
