Hiyas,

I'm basically new to XOOPS, but i've setup a test site more or less and played around with some themes and modules etc....

My question is ... is it possible to install XOOPS onto the same database as an exisiting SMF Forum?
Basically I'm wanting to have it so that XOOPS is set up the same as MKPortal, as a front end for my SMF forum.

I don't really want the SMF forum to open within the XOOPS template, i only need it set up so that if people register/login on the SMF forum via the forum's register/login form, then I want XOOPS to recognise this and show them as a member within XOOPS and show if they are logged in or not, and vice versa if someone registered from the XOOPS systems register or login form, then i want the SMF forum to recognise them and show them online etc.. sorry if i confusing people.

Can XOOPS be installed like this ?

Thank you in advance :)

Try this news item:

Thanks for that, I was reading that post but can't find the attached XOOPS - SMF bridge he mentioned.

has it been removed for further development?

thanks again, i'll check back another time, the SMF i use on the site i want to put XOOPS on is using a version of SMF other than the one the bridge mentions ya should use.

anyway thanks again :)

You must be logged on the smf forum to see the package to download in the first post.

Orstio has worked some more on it since the alpha release, however he is waiting to see if XOOPS fixes (in 2.0.14) some anomalies with php 4.4 which seem to cause errors.(see pages 14-15 of the topic)

Cheers
