Hi all... I have been working hard to make betougher.com not only look sweet with the vortex template, but also make it community minded as well... After much virtuemart hacking, that is solved kind of, but what I have noticed is community builder kind of sucks and joomlaboard is just crap.
If I may ask, what modules and hacks are installed here to give it the cool community feel? I think the SMF bridge is installed, but how does that work exactly? Do i need to install SMF and apply the bridge?
If anyone could guide me on a good solution to make betougher.com that much better I would really appreciate it. Thanks guys, you have been a great help.
ROCKETTHEME to the rescue... haha love that script.
Rocket Theme use the joomlahacks bridge. For this to work, you must have the SMF tables and Joomla tables in the same database. The installation is simple and layed out clearly, you should not have any problems when installing the bridge.. The bridge itself is a component which you would install like any other with Joomla!
You do not need much or any SQL knowledge, just know how to export and import tables if that is needed. My hoster has an auto installer for Joomla! SMF... etc so i have to export the tables. However, if you are just installing manualling, you just need to but in the right database name and password (Joomla) ;D
If you aren't that familiar with MySQL, find someone that is familiar with it and trust them to 'clean' your database until you become familiar. It's really worth it!
