 Mambo-SMF Integration is a component that integrates Mambo
and SMF forum flawlessly. Based on the original SMF-Bridge, major
issues were fixed including several enhancements that makes the
component simple and installation a little bit easy for plain users.
Version 2.0 will hopefully make installation easier. Please note that
this is not a release for SMF-Bridge. Although existing modules and
mambots for SMF-Bridge should also work with Mambo-SMF Integration.
Mambo-SMF Integration is intended more for SEF enabled websites.
In A Nutshell:
- One component to handle all configurations.
- Revised login module.
- New SMF Package to modify SMF files.
NOTE: Existing SMF-Bridge users don't
need to use this version. We did not work with the original author of SMF-Bridge so we
cannot release it as SMF-Bridge. All the files
were modified. The original author may or may not take this version. Please use as-is.
Changes From SMF-Bridge:
- Simplified installation process.
- Simplified single component.
- Revised login module with added configuration options.
- New SMF package to apply mods to SMF files.
- Re-organized code.
- Fixed major SEF issues.
- Member can edit account profile reflecting to both Mambo and SMF.
- Implementation of re-send activation link through SMF.
- SMF and Mambo-SMF version syncing. Automatically detects the need to update. (1.1)

Installation:
- Install SMF Forum on the same database as Mambo. Assign a different prefix for SMF (e.g. smf_).

<?php
global $sc, $context;
if (!defined('SMF')) {
if (file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path."/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php"))
require_once ("administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php");
if (file_exists($smf_path."/SSI.php"))
require_once ($smf_path."/SSI.php");
}
$sc = &$context['session_id'];
$_SESSION['USER_AGENT'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
<!-- End Mambo-SMF -->
