This version can work with Drupal6, see the message how to adopt, it is easy.

The module smfforum and smf_api_2 are supported on http://vgb.org.ru and drupal.org http://drupal.org/project/smfforum

[GravuTrad]

Anybody have the problem with users trying to change their password within Drupal and all users get the error message "The e-mail address xxx is not valid in SMF".  I'm running SMF version 1.1.4 and Drupal version 5.3.

My SMFforum settings are:

Successfully locating SMF installation.
Successfully locating modules/smfforum/includes/smf_api_2.php.
Successfully connected to the SMF database.
Successfully authenticated SMF user: xxx

SMF qookie authentication test: Passed

Using the Drupal Master as the Registration system.

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

1) Try the last 1.0 version of the Drupal 5 module from
http://drupal.org/project/smfforum
2) I'd recommend to download the latest smf_api_2.zip from http://vgb.org.ru 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.

Development of SMF Integration with Drupal is terminated due to claims of Simple Machines LLC.

So disappointing.

I know one user doesn't matter, but I'm now switching to phpBB3 and informing everyone else that was using this bridge to do so as well...  License incompatibilities suck.

[Orstio]

Just for the record, this has nothing to do with any incompatibility of licenses.  It has to do with the distribution of SMF code without express written permission of Simple Machines LLC. as per the SMF license:

http://www.simplemachines.org/about/license.php

2 c. Any Distribution of a Modified Package or derivative requires express written consent from Simple Machines LLC.

The file smf_api_subs.php in the Drupal bridge package is in violation, as no permission was requested or granted.

[Songstress]

The file smf_api_subs.php in the Drupal bridge package is in violation, as no permission was requested or granted.

So rather than just being okay with it and granting permission, everybody walked with their toys? Who wins here? Anyone? I can tell you who loses -- us. Your end users.

Now checking into other forum options for my little community -- they say phBBB does pretty well.

This really, really reeks.

[Oldiesmann]

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.

[GravuTrad]

I hope too cause this recurrent problem of license for bridges is a little tiring and annoying, most for users than other else...
