SMF with modx from newbie to newbie

I’m trying to install the SMF Forum module to my site, but get this message:
Setup will now attempt to setup the database:

Creating connection to the database: Database connection failed!

Please check the database login details and try again.

I don’t understand what I did wrong, or what details it is referring to. I posted this issue in another thread, but no one can help. Ideas?

I also completely reinstalled both the main smf forum and the add on, and still have the same problem.

Hi,

what version of SMF and MODX are you using?

Fr.

Modx 1.0.0 Evolution, and SMF 1.1.10

Hi,

dont know if that was tested by anyone.
But it seems Evo and SMF have problems?
Someone managed creating the bridge between Evo and SMF?

fr.

Nope, not yet. Would be nice to hear whether ist works or not.

This integration using: evo 1.0.1 and SMF 1.1.10 has a lot of fails.
Installation error message
Error page on saving module configuration.
Error on running module.
Will this module be continued? Is anyone developing something? If not, i’ll thing rewriting a new one...

Hi,

I think the module development has stoppped, and the guy that started this thread is not wtih modx anylonger.
So yeah, if you can write a new one great. Forum integration is a missing thing in Modx. However I read that speccialy the password encryprion differnces between Modx and eg FDM are a difficulty. Keep us posted!

Best, Frank.

What about this message every time I click on my forum link to go to the smf forum?

: Table ’p559r734_modx.smf_sessions’ doesn’t exist
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php
1998

If I refresh the page, I can access the forum with no problems.

Brocoli,

Thanks for this tutorial! Do you know how I can use SMF login, logout, register, profile functions instead of that of Modx. I just want to have SMF inside my Modx template but I don’t want to use modx webloginpe. Do you have any idea aside from manually working on the templates of SMF? Thanks!
