I'm interested in this project.
Though CBB is very good forum software, it doesn't compare to SMF.
For this reason I already converted one XOOPS 2.2.4/CBB 3.04 site to SMF/TP.
What doesn't kill me,
makes me stronger.

Re: a Conjecture for others forums?

Thanks for the info, Orstio

#1: check

#2: "valid SMF session" - when we are in another module, how do we ensure that the SMF session exists?

#3: Where will the user be sent afterwards? My intention is to go back to the article/download/etc. but if it goes to the thread, I guess people will live with it.

#4: Something like that, yes. Is there a hierarchy of categories and subforums or will a simple board table query do?

Do you plan to add support for more forums with your Conjecture (vBulletin, Invision Power Board.. Maybe I can make a nice list for you, if you want)?

I have abstracted things out so that all that is required is a new class and a small change to xoops_version.php

Quote:

Second: are you using $xoopsuser for things like permissions, usernames or what - for cbb or other forums bridged to XOOPS you can do it, but what if one is using a separate forum software that not share (or bridge) the userbase with XOOPS - and maybe don't need to give submits capability to users?

I don't do permissions at all, but leave it up to the forum module to enforce relevant permissions.

Just including SMF's SSI.php will do that just fine. It should return a valid session ID into $context['sess_id'].

Yeah, that form would take them to the SMF topic after posting (or to the topic index, depending on the setting the admin has chosen).

There are two ways around this:

1) You could set up a form that would submit to a piece of code that would add the post and then return to the article instead. This would not be advised unless you really want to write all the security checks to go with it.

2) You could write a SMF modification package to go with the XOOPS module to check the referring submission and return to the XOOPS article. See here for more info on writing SMF mods:

http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=506

The files you would want to look at are Post.php and Subs-Post.php.

The heirarchy is user-definable, so yes, querying the smf_boards table will be the best route.

Re: a Conjecture for others forums?

OK, I'll let #3 go to the topic - it's not optimal, but I'd rather not duplicate permissions checks etc.

It ought to work, but it would be great if someone felt like trying it out
http://www.cusix.dk/uploads/xoops2_mod_conjecture_v2.00.tar.gz

as I don't have an SMF installation to test it against.
You configure in the module's preferences, which forum bridge to use (currently Newbb (i.e. CBB 3.07) or SMF)

Feedback here or on Cusix Xoops playground.

After I upload the conjecture folder to my modules, should there not be something in my Modules Administration?

Re: a Conjecture for others forums?

Definitely - it should be installed just like any other module.

I have uploaded the conjecture folder. It is inside the modules folder, just like the other modules. But there is nothing in the XOOPS Modules Administration except the modules I have already installed.

Re: a Conjecture for others forums?

Works fine at my local installation, so that's rather weird.

You don't get messages like
Module File for conjecture Not Found!Module File for Not Found!

The module installs fine for me.

The Assign forum does not get populated by the smf boards like the newbb option does.

No, I get nothing, as if it's not there. I can see the files and folders are there by FTP, but XOOPS is not finding them.
