SMF bridge for Joomla troubles

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.

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

Emir Hi,
I installed the last version of sef advance on my site (4.9.3) i use Joomla 1.0.11 and Ortsio's bridge latest version that is on the SMF site.

The problem is that i can't enter the forums
m using the forum in unwrpped mode so when clicking on the forst forum on the list it creates the url : www.babyhold.com/index.php?option,com_smf&/Itemid,36&/board,1.0

which of course is incorrect it should be
www.babyhold.com/index.php?option,com_smf&Itemid=36&board=1.0

the only way for the forum to run with the bridge is to disable sef advance , which of course i don't want.

Please help
