The long awaited SMF Module!

Hi everyone,

I’m sorry to report that case-sensitive syncs will not be supported in this version as MODx currently does not support case-sensitive user names.

Any attempt in trying to save both "admin" and "Admin" inside the web user table will result in a non-unique index and cause MySQL to generate an error message.

I think we can now declare this release as stable.

Any comments?

I say we release it into the wild indeed! Do we need to update any documentation, or install instructions? We definitely need to make sure the caveat of case-sensitivity is abundantly clear (and that we fix that in 0.9.2!).

so we have news, A short NewsLetter containing some paragraphs about upgrade of official forums to RC2 with new skin, and a killer module release

Good work ! Good Work !

Waow, exciting indeed !

Be prepared for some traffic increase

Finally got a chance to test.

Once set up is running fine. But when I try to login as a web user I get a blank page:


If I type the root URL in again, the site is back up, and I’m logged in, and I’m also logged in the forum, so connector seems to be working - just need to work out why the error.

Hi Richard,

I think I’ve updated the first post with the latest fixes from lat week. Download it and it should fix the problem.

If not let me know

Apologies I missed the latest version in one of the posts. I’ll re-install and check again.

Re naming convention: am I correct in assuming that the short term solution that we should tell users to create lower case only user names?

Richard

Richard, if you get it to work will you give the instructions a once over and create a final, full install package I can post over in the main forums? Thanks!

SMF RC2 from my test does not support case-sensitive lookups

It allows you to register case sensitive names but not to login with them. The system will load the profile of the first account matching that name.

Can anyone confirm? Maybe a bug in SMF?

I think you’re right Raymond. I just tried to register a name using different capitalization of an existing account, and it’s a no-go... says the name is already taken. I suspect it translates them all to lowercase.
