Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no button here. Could this be because I'm using a Windows server? I think I read about some issue regarding running the component with Windows, but I'm not sure what it was about any more.
I'm also getting an error when loading this page: Line 228 'this.tab' is null or not an object
Any way, this is what the bottom half of my configuration dialogue looks like (there is no button between INSTALLATION CHECKLIST and the Revised and improved by... statement):
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST: installed Install SMF Forum on the same database as Mambo. installed Install mod_smf_login module and publish it. installed Install SMFMamboMod.zip using your SMF Package Manager. done Insert code to mambo template.
NOTE: It's very important that you mark the checkbox above if you are using an existing SMF with user data! Based on the original SMF-Bridge. Revised and improved version by: MamboHacks.com.
I'm still having problem with the templates after I installed the SMF bridge. As long as I use the same template that I let SMF integration component patch during the installation everything works fine. But as soon as I try to switch to another template in the mambo template manager, all content pages are blank when clicking on any of the menu link, all the pages but the forum that is, it still works. I also noticed that in the SMF component it still says "mambo template file old template is writeable", with old template being the one that was patched. Does that mean that I can't switch templates any more?
Thank you for your help.

UPDATE: I've copied the smf code from the originally modified template into the index.php of some other templates and it seems to work. One question remains: is it necessary to do that manually with every template or am I missing something?
Thank you for your prompt reply. I'm only using windows as a testing platform so that shouldn't really be an issue. Problem is, I had to manually change the path in the config php file, because I didn't seem to be able to make any changes to the configuration page. Did I miss something or is this a windows problem as well?
Also, it now says on my Mambo site: "Please go to Mambo-SMF Integration configuration to patch the mambo template.", although it says "Insert code to mambo template. - done" in the installation check list?
EDIT: All links of the main menu lead to an empty content page, except for when I click on the forum link. This loads the forum in the content area. Is this related to the "patch the template" notification?
ANOTHER EDIT: The problem described was caused because I assigned a different template to the site after I had already patched the template that was previously assigned. Do I have to re-patch the template every time I assign a different template to the site? If so how do I do this? And will the site still work if I want to assign a different template to individual menu items (pages) only?
Hi, I've just installed smf and mambo bridge (successfully I hope). What I would like to know whether I was supposed to manually input the absolute path to the smf installation in the mambo smf configuration component (because that's what I had to do)? If not, what might have gone wrong? I've installed smf forum in a subdirectory under the mambo root (on a windows apache server).
Also, are the templates for the forum and for the rest of the mambo site completely separate or not? What is the "Insert code to mambo template" in the component configuration for?
