first and foremost: This board is now LOCKED for new topics and may eventually be phased out completely. Why?
The official SMF-Joomla bridge was discontinued in July of 2007, due to license restrictions with Joomla's implementation of the GPL. (
See post here) There is no officially supported SMF-Joomla bridge at this time. In addition, the previous distributed bridge (frozen at version 1.1.7) is only compatible with Joomla versions up to 1.0.12.
The official bridge was distributed under the SMF license, which forbids redistribution. Since SMF is no longer distributing it, please do not ask for it.
If you are still running the old 1.1.7 bridge and have questions, the readme support topic can be found
HEREThe FAQ for the 1.1.7 bridge is listed
HEREKnown issues with 1.1.7 and the fixes are listed
HEREPlease note, that the versions of joomla required to run the 1.1.7 bridge are NOT secure and you should consider alternative options. We do continue to support the bridge to Mambo and there bridges to other CMSs and several SMF Portal Mods.
Second: If you wish to run SMF and Joomla, there are now two un-official bridges being developed by other parties.
SSJB (
announcement) is a project to link SMF to Joomla. The developer officially supports his bridge on google code/projects. Questions and comments on the
SSJB bridge should be done on that site. According to that site, his official support is for Joomla 1.5.x and SMF 2.x.
JFusion is a project that has attempted to build a multi-system integration bridge. This is not specifically designed for SMF-Joomla, but, according to users of the bridge, it does work to link the two systems. Questions and comments on the
JFusion bridge should be done on the developer's official site. According to that site, his official support is for Joomla 1.5.x.
There are no longer any bridges supporting the Joomla 1.0.x series
