SMF - Drupal Bridge Alpha Version!

[marazmus]

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am really surprised at the outrage over our decision to enforce our license. It has been less than 2 weeks since we became aware of this, and we are working hard to ensure that vb can continue with his bridge in a way that will benefit both SMF users and Drupal users.

So why can't you do simple and quick step - just to give vb "written permission"? This will show us what you REALLY mean in this case - company that loves its customers or something else.

We are working on a solution that will be preferable for vb and Simple Machines (and thus the end users).  Please be patient.

You have asked me to remove, I did this.
But I wish I could continue the development including creation of a new version for SMF 2.0 if the solution, which allows Drupal and other open software users to use this bridge absolutely legally, could be worked out.

 vb,


And we appreciate the quick response.

We are interested in the same thing. Some of what you did for the 1.1 series will probably be unecessary for 2.0... and some stuff can be done differently (IMO, better).

As Orstio notes, we are working on a solution that will hopefully work for everyone.

I am glad to announce that distribution of the smf_api_2 package is resumed due to the express permission granted from Simple Machines LLC.
You can download the new package from http://vgb.org.ru/download.

Great news, thanks to all people.

I hope the team'll make a little news at less on the bridge section for this.   (or better , on the news section lol)

[BryanSD]

Fantastic news!

SSI.php 2.0 can work under Drupal 6.2.
With the help of some tricks but even unpatched.

Glad it got solved!

This is great work - but I have one tinsy winsy problem -    

I have installed the module and SMF.  And now my current user in Drupal - their user ids dont get ported to  SMF.  But if I were to create an account in Drupal (a new user) then it gets ported over with no issues.  So thats great - for all future users.  But I do have an issue with the current users so this way we can port their user id and passwords over to SMF.  Now I can see SMF from the Drupal page - no problem with that.    But it is just the user issue I am having.

Thanks for your assistance!

Simple question, the bridge is always in alpha version?

[redone]

Let's not forget that the team and the author worked out a solution that would work for all here. I am glad this got resolved and didnt go the way other open source projects have gone in the past.

SMF is not against working with anyone if there is a two-way partnership. I am liking drupal these days I must admit.

The current version of the module is stable for SMF 1.1.5 line.
But for the SMF 2.0 it is again in the alpha state.
I think we will create new thread when the module for SMF 2.0 will go to beta public or rc state.

[BigMike]

I have a question: What is this?

I have a fresh install Drupal 5.10 and a very mature SMF 1.1.6.

I would like my Drupal and my SMF to work together, ie. I would like the user name and passwords from my SMF to work in Drupal.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance,
BigMike

Hi There,

I'm having the same problem too.. Is this got to do with the license?
I had put in valid email address but it keep on prompt me "The e-mail address [email] is not valid in SMF".

Please help.
Thanks,
Queenie

1) Try the last 1.0 version of the Drupal 5 module from
hxxp:drupal.org/project/smfforum [nonactive]
2) I'd recommend to download the latest smf_api_2.zip from hxxp:vgb.org.ru [nonactive] but sorry, service is temporally inaccessible. I do not know how to help you with that.
We will hope you have the compatible version.
3) The e-mail address xxx is not valid in SMF
the e-mail address should be not xxx but valid unique email address that SMF  considers as valid.
Sorry for inconvenience with smf_api_2.zip
Let me know.

Hi,

I find myself intellectually retarded when reading this kind of instructions

4) Unpack smf_api_2 archive and copy it to subdirectory
.../modules/smfforum/includes/

5) Follow the instructions in README.txt file.

http://drupal.org/project/smfforum

Now the readme.txt:

2) Move smf_api_2.php, smf_api_2_subs.php to your smf root.
   (Move smf_api_2_examples.php if you want to see demo)

3) Include smf_api_2.php in your php code.

We were instructed first to upload the two files to .../includes
then to move them to smf root !?!

Further, what is "my php code"? I didn't write any php code to include smf_api_2.php in it. 

Please, anyone who has installed this bridge to provide intelligible insructions for dummies like me.

TIA

Is their anyone out there that could help with the bridge??
I am planning on moveing our site from phpbb to smf with drupal and i get this error when useing the bridge
You are not authenticated in SMF now. Please login to SMF and test again. You may refresh settings!
no matter what i have tried i can't get it to work I have seen all the info on drupal and tried that but still no luck??
