Hi, had a quick search couldnt fin dwhat i needed.
Just installed SMF and bridge for mambo. Looks all ok, except: a) The SMF login is still displayed. b) When logiged in via mambo I still need to login via SMF. c) I cant see the mambo user list in the SMF user list.
finally: d) How do I change the forum banner/title says "My Community" e) How do I display SMF "within" mambo or at least add a button to allow users to return to the original home site?
Answers appreciated. p.s. excellent product - so far )
a) The SMF login is still displayed. - edit smf theme and remove the login form code. - go to smf admin and disable quick login as well
b) When logiged in via mambo I still need to login via SMF. - please verify that your installation and configuration or fine.
c) I cant see the mambo user list in the SMF user list. - you need to synchronize ifrom the component admin
finally: d) How do I change the forum banner/title says "My Community" - go to SMF administration
e) How do I display SMF "within" mambo or at least add a button to allow users to return to the original home site? - edit SMF theme and just add home link
I'm sorry i cannot give you detailed answers. I assume you can figure it from there.
Hello, thanks for the help. I have also been speaking with SMF and made some progress. They suggested I : i) unpublish the mambo login ii) pub the SMF mod_smf_login module
However, the mod_smf_login module is not to be found and they suggest the mambohacks install has removed this module. Furthermore, they suggest I remove the mambohacks stuff and try their bridge. If this is required - whats the uninstall process? I understand the mambohack makes changed the smf and mambo? Can you clarify? I dont want to start again if I can help it.

About your questions, the login module is not included in the package because the default mambo login works for most people. I don't know why it's not working for you. Of course you've already found the optional login module, it's a seperate download.
Well, certain SMF files are modified as a fix to some minor issues. I wonder if those minor issues were already fixed in their bridge . The point is, there will come a time they will end up doing what I did.... or maybe not.
And there's only a small modification to a mambo file. I beleive this approach is better rather than handling it from the template, which is often replaced. Plus, this has a built in user synchronization. To sum it, this is supposed to be a low-maintenance version. Read all the enhancements.
3 patches has been already released for SMF, and there have been no problem with this bridge.
If you want to uninstall, just do so as how you uninstall a component, module, and SMF mod.
"About your questions, the login module is not included in the package" Which login module is this? The SMF one called mod_smf_login? "... because the default mambo login works for most people. " Please clarify. You mean the mambo login automatically logins you into the SMF forum? Or that people are happy login in twice?
Ok, 2 final questions:
1. Can you assist me fix the mambohacks bridge? What can I do to correct the login problem? 2. Would installing just the SMF mod_smf_login module fix everything?

Republished it and the login now works... very strange. But THANKS!
One final small question, if I wish to update SMF or mambo at any point in the future do i need to go through this whole process again? Can you supply a link to any mod i would need to make?
1. If mambo index.php is updated, you would need to click "patch" from the mambo-smf configuration. 2. If SMF release an update. The process is: (a) from smf manager, uninstall first SMFMambo Mod (b) install SMF update (c) re-apply the SMFMambo Mod But visit this site first before upgrading.
I am once again getting the same login issue described above. When I login to mambo I am not automatically logged into SMF.
Unpublishing and republishing mambo login module TEMPORARY somehow solves the problem. However, this is concerning and I am looking for a permanent solution. Please can someone advise?
