SMF forum integration problem

[alzy]

i looked at the forum and didn't find anything.
when i click register in photopost, photopost jumps to SMF forum sign up page. i sign up and it stays in SMF. it doesn't go back to the photopost gallery and there is no bottun for the gallery on the SMF. i go to my photo gallery by typing the address and log in as the user i just created and go in fine but when i move to SMF i am not signed in.
i am sure i've done something wrong in the setup but i don't know what.
i need help.
thanks

Hi alzy

I'm not too familer with the SMF forum, but by what your telling me it sounds like a cookie problem/setting with SMF itself not photopost, i found the 'smfcookie10' isn't lasting long enough for some reason, i can login to your forum, and i can also login to photopost and i stay logged in, but as you say not in SMF, so if theres any settings within the SMF administration pages that would allow you to increase the amount of time the cookie would last i think you would have nailed it on the head.

Of course please check your cookie prefix for the forums

Okay I wrote the SMF integration

SMF uses a custom cookie name thus on install you need to absolutely define the SMF cookie name for the login to work

You can use phpmyadmin to view your settings table and input the cookie name you have defined in SMF by editing setting 165 in our settings table

i cannot find any time setting for the cookie, how about PHPbb, does it work better. i got SMF because i was told it was better that the other one and vbulletin is too expensive so i can't use it. does phpbb integrate better and easier?
thanks
