Q: I have upgraded Joomla! (to 1.0.15), now I can't log in anymore.A: You need to upgrade to JSMF 2.0.2.1
Q: I can't see posts with more than one page or topics are not visible (blank page) for admins.A: This problem is due to an error in PHP 5.2.5. First check your PHP version via: Administration > System > System info. If you have PHP 5.2.5 then you have three options:
Option 1:
Lowering your PHP version by adding the next line to your .htaccess. (some hosts won't allow this)
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php51 .php
Option2:
Replace some code in smf.class.php in /components/com_smf.
Find this code:
$regex = array('/<!DOCTYPE.*<body>/smi', '/<\/body>/i', '/<\/html>/i');
$buffer = preg_replace($regex, array('', '', ''), $buffer);
unset($matches, $keywords, $css, $search, $replace, $headers, $regex);
and replace it with:
//Regex broken with PHP 5.2.5
//$regex = array('/<!DOCTYPE.*<body>/smi', '/<\/body>/i', '/<\/html>/i');
//$buffer = preg_replace($regex, array('', '', ''), $buffer);
//unset($matches, $keywords, $css, $search, $replace, $headers, $regex);
$needle = '<body>';
$buffer = strstr($buffer, $needle);
$buffer = substr($buffer, strlen($needle));
$regex = array('/<\/body>/i', '/<\/html>/i');
$buffer = preg_replace($regex, array('', ''), $buffer);
unset($matches, $keywords, $css, $search, $replace, $headers, $regex, $needle);
Option3:
Patch some code in smf.class.php in /components/com_smf. At the end of the file add this function:
function t_get_content($src_for1, $src_for2, $src_in){
$ret='';
$pos1=stripos($src_in, $src_for1);
$pos2=stripos($src_in, $src_for2);
if ($pos1 and $pos2 and ($pos1 <= $pos2)){
$pos1 = $pos1 + strlen($src_for1);
$ret = substr($src_in, $pos1, $pos2-$pos1);
}
return $ret;
}
Comment and add this:
// -- start comment--
// $regex = '/<head>.*<\/head>/smi';
// preg_match($regex, $buffer, $matches);
// if (!empty($matches))
// {
// $headers = $matches[0];
// }
// -- end comment--
$headers = t_get_content('<head>', '</head>', $buffer);
and a few lines bellow:
// -- start comment--
// $regex = array('/<!DOCTYPE.*<body>/smi', '/<\/body>/i', '/<\/html>/i');
// $buffer = preg_replace($regex, array('', '', ''), $buffer);
// -- end comment--
$buffer = t_get_content('<body>','</body>',$buffer);
IMPORTANT: Caching must be disabled in JSMF bridge. If you have CSS problems after this fix ; please see next Q&A.
Q: I am having serious CSS trouble, what to do?A: add this to SMF in the head section of index_template.php
Code:
if (!empty($_REQUEST['option'])){
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/smfstyle.css?fin11" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/print.css?fin11" media="print" />';
} else { echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/style.css?fin11" />'; }
What that does is checks to see if SMF is wrapped or not. If it is it uses style.css if not it uses smfstyle.css
So what you need to do is create 2 css sheets.
One that has everything (smfstyle.css) and one that has been stripped of all a. elements. and main link styles (not the menu) and some more depending on Joomla.
Q: After SMF registration SMF login failsA: This is due to the fact that because of the way SMF handles variables we can't synchronize immediately. You must first login through a Joomla based login(JSMF login, CB login(with plugin), or default Joomla login) or login twice. Why twice? After the first failure we are able to trigger a synchronization event so the second login should succeed.
Q: Each time I start a post (PM, Topic, Message....) in the top of the page above the header appears "\n\t\t\n\t "A: For the "\n\t\t\n\t " problem is a special patch created. You can download it here:
