Hmm, this is indeed strange. Unfortunately, outside of what I suggested earlier, I am fresh out of ideas. I do remember that somebody was saying somewhere on the Mambo forums that they have had problems running SMF inside the solarflare templates. Is there another template you can try instead?
Ah, what can I say? Outstanding ideas, outstanding work. Your Integration approaches SMF in the beauty of its simplicity and functionality. One of the big winning strategies of Mambo has been the relative simplicity of its installation and use. As far as I remember their slogan used to be something like 'content management for the masses'. Well, your integration is one for the masses, too. A breath of fresh air!
And thanks for looking into the Search bug. I'll look forward to the fix
Hm, I just tested it in IE and the menu looks fine when I am logged in again. I use Windows 2000 and IE 6.0. It may vary depending on the versions you are using. However, in IE the text wrapping of the link 'Forgot your password?' extends outside the graphics of the button which kind of messes things up a bit.
I have to admit that I have hacked the login module considerably and I don't know if that is the issue that may cause the floating of the menu. However, if you want to try fixing it, unzip the mod_mambo_smf_login_1.2.zip file. Inside it you will find a file called mod_smf_login.php. On line 49 of the file you will find the code:
However, you have a bigger problem with the fact that the text is too much to fit on top of the link button which is graphical and not easy to resize on the fly. Your best bet is to shorten the phrase. Instead of 'Forgot your password?' you could possibly have it say something like 'Lost password?'.
You can replace that in your SMF templage language file /[forum]/Templates/[default]/languages/index.english.php (in this link, replace the [forum] with the directory where your SMF forum is installed and [default] with the name of the Theme you are using). In that file, on line 208 find the code:
$txt[315] = 'Forgot your password?';
and replace it with:
$txt[315] = 'Lost password?';
That should fix the overflow problem. Hope that sorts it out for you.
First of all, cowboy, I must say EXCELLENT WORK! I cannot say that enough. I had used the Orstio bridge before and that is a nightmare to install/uninstall. Your integration works smoothly like a song! Thank you, not worthy, etc., etc. etc.
I seem to have a problem with the search functionality. On your forum, clicking the 'Search' button above takes you directly to the Advanced Search. On mine (see my test site here: test.opencopy.org) it takes me to the Simple Search but the 'Advanced Search' link below the search field does not work. Is this a configuration issue or a bug?
I also have another quick questions. Do you plan to implement a functionality where the Integration will be upgraded to a new available version with just a click of a link (maybe something that could be passed on through the live feed)? Or is that too difficult to accomplish at this point? I read that Mambo has it on the roadmap to improve the installer so it can simultaneously install components and modules from a single package. Maybe a thought for the future?
It seems like you have fixed it. I just logged in with the test password on Firefox and the menu appeared where it should have been. However, if you noticed, your 'Forgot your password?' link extends outside of the left column and the last couple of characters are cut off.
Possibly the problem could be the margin-right: 5px; style of the login module which is hardcoded in the login module itself. I had to hack the code to remove that because it was causing problems with my template as well. I don't even know why that is there - I think it is part of the legacy code from Orstio's module and it sure does not do anything useful. Explorer does not like margins on floated elements and does not always interpret them correctly. So, try removing it and see what happens...
