Just having an awful time getting this to work. I got it to work on a test server, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.
Anyway, here's the situation. I've installed and configured SMF and Mambo, and have installed the mod using Package Manager. All was successful. Flawless, in fact.
Now, when I go into the Mombo Component, and try to save the information, it always reverts to "(incorrect path)". Don't know how to get the information (which is correct) to save...
Here's what it looks like all the time:
PERMISSION SETTINGS: Configuration file (/home/wesley/public_html/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php) is writeable Mambo cache directory (/home/wesley/public_html/cache) is writeable Mambo index file (/home/wesley/public_html/index.php) is writeable Mambo main path (/home/wesley/public_html) is writeable
make all writeable | make all not writeable
SMF Absolute Path: (incorrect path) SMF Database Prefix: Integration Mode: Wrapped Unwrapped Hide emails in SMF profile on sync: No Yes Redirect SMF profile link to CB: No Yes Always redirect to forum on login: No Yes Registration module to use: Mambo CB
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST: installed Install SMF Forum on the same database as Mambo. not installed Install SMFMamboMod.zip using your SMF Package Manager. done Patch mambo index.php file. [verify] done Synchronize Mambo and SMF users.
Your Mambo-SMF Integration version is 1.3.1.3 Latest Mambo-SMF Integration Version is 1.3.2 Beta 1
----
OK, so I enter the correct path and database prefix from my "settings.php" from the forum, and there's no way to save the information. It just keeps reverting to the defaults.
Like I said, I had the same problem once before and clicked something that made things work. Can't remember what it was.
I'm going to drop all the tables from my Mambo database, delete my forums directory, and start all over. Something tells me that we've gotten a little haywire somewhere. My test installation works fine, though I'm using an older version of SMF and an older version of the bridge.
OK, same problem here after a dropped all the tables for Mambo & reinstalled (deleting the configuration.php file in the root of the site)
I still cannot set the absolute path & it says that the SMF mod in not installed. I'm a vetaran SMF user, currenlty a charter member, running the latest & gratest.. The Mod is installed..
Got mine working. My problem was that I had installed smf to my Mambo database twice, and had two separate SMF installations using a similar prefix. Dropped all tables and started over, and now all is well.
Well, not quite... I still don't have that neat Mambo-smf component that doesn't force me to create my own wrapped menu item by trial and error. Maybe I'll uninstall the component and try again.
OK, so you were installing SMF into the Mambo database, a new install of smf...
I am installing Mambo into the SMF database. I changed the databse name to a portal type, cleaned up all the tables before I installed Mambo.
Mambo works great, SMF works great, just not talking to each other...
I have a couple of mods running in SMF currenlty... do you think this may be a root? Member Map, Shoutbox, Integraded Chat, Skype mod, Rating, reply to.....
By the way, I'm using 1.3.1.3 of the Mambo-SMF hack. The new beta's mod just wouldn't install in SMF package manager no matter what I tried.
I fully deleted my forum directory and then dropped all the tables that started with the prefix smf_ from my Mambo MySQL database. Also uninstalled the component, and then started all over.
Copied over the SMF files to my server, then did the mod via the package manager. Made sure to install the SMF database tables into my Mambo database. Then installed the component into Mambo. Typed the real absolute path, leaving everything else pretty much the same. Then hit the save button.
Finally, changed to use my Community Builder login. Set things up for "wrapped." Noticed that doing that creates a nice menu item called "Forum." Doesn't really matter, because I can also create my own wrapper menu item.
Anyway, after about 20 minutes worth of work (after hours of trying to get the old install to work), I'm up and going.
It worked for me. Rather than toiling and tweaking, sometimes it's just better to start all over.
im having the same problem.... and it's realy gettin to me !
I had phpBB4 mambo working and wanted to change to SMF, im thinking of going back cause this is realy non-sense and no one seems to know what the hell is wrong.
I have the same problem, i.e., the component configuration doesn't take the new path I entered.
my fix is just to just to directly modify the mambo/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php
set $smf_path to whatever your real path is.
while I was there, I also changed $registration_module = "cb"; so it would take default to the community builder for login and registration.
then go back to the component configuration and follow the steps in that.

[added] I notice that the "Save" icon in the configuration just doesn't do anything (no indication that anything was sent to the host), but it works for other components. I'm using Firefox.
the "verify" link on the configuration window seems to work tho.
