SMF bridge for Joomla troubles

Hello,

your component is great. Much better than OpenSEF but i have problem with SMF bridge.

If i install SMF bridge everything works. But at the moment i installed SEF Advance i am getting this error:

The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message.
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

I got your new SEF advance version - 4.8 so i uninstalled SEF Advance 4.6 and installed Bridge again...Everything was great until i instaled new version of SEF Adv. Still same problem.

I also tryed to exclude bridge component in configuration but from that time i am getting error my smf pages not exist.

Can you help me? I see you run SMF on your site too.

Thanks.

I had the same problems with 4.8. I disbled the SMF Bridge component in SEF Advance and replaced the original Joomla sef.php in the includes folder and atleast have it working in the rest of the site and can post in forums again!
Hopefully this issue will get worked out.

Thank you, /includes/but sef.php was replaced with what? With sef.php from SEF Advance package? There is big difference i guess.

Ok, i will try it but....  ;D

I replaced the sef.php that was in the /includes/ folder on the server, with the one that was in the Joomla 1.0.12 package in the /includes/ folder.

Yes i did it too. No results. But still many thanks for your time.

Hello all,

This issue has been resolved now.

The problem was not that SEF Advance stripped POST variables, the problem was that SMF bridge was sending the form to an URL without trailing slash.
And, as you might know, SEF Advance redirects all requests without trailing slash to the URL with slash to create default directory server behavior.
Then, when sent to a new page with slash, POST variables were no longer present and login would fail.
Everything can be fixed by adding the trailing slash to the URL in SMF Bridge action form, but I decided to even put the fix in SEF Advance so such URLs are supported for posting. So I added a redirect prevention if POST variables are sent.

If you download the latest version (4.8.1) you will find this issue fixed. You can just replace files:
./components/com_sef/sef_incl.php
./administrator/components/com_sef/sef.xml
