CB - Joomla 1.08 - Smf Forum

Hi there
first of what is the is the difference between SMF 1.1RC2 and SMF 1.0.7

Must i upgrade to this version and use the Bridge 1.1.4.

I dont mind doing the migration thing, as long as it always takes one registration or one login to browse the site, CB profiles and forums

Currently i have

SMF 1.0.7
CB 1.0
Joomla 1.0.8


I can never find what i need just for thoses..There are always ones for Rc2? Rc1 ...what are the differences?

Quite a few security issues and bugs have been fixed/addressed in 1.1RC. I'm pretty sure you'll need to upgrade the bridge as it probably has more options in it than the current one you're using.

As I said, I haven't used that bridge, but the 1.1.4 has all the migrating options back and forth for joomla to smf and vice versa. It's worth checking out.

Actually www.joomlahacks.com/ has a really nice joomla/smf component. I am running it at www.dezinedepot.com . I plan on doing a review and walk through of it eventually. I have to say that it is the best thing going so far. It is not absolute bliss. I still have a wish list and there are some issues but nothing many people would call a show stopper.

You can configure it to redirect profile link in SMF to Community Builder, and tell it to use Community Builder registration so that all users will remain in sync from there on. pretty cool stuff. Just make sure you meet the requirements and enjoy. :woohoo:
