I'm not sure if anyone is even reading these posts at the moment, but I will continue to post updates in the hope that someone will shed a little light on some of the issues I am encountering. Here's the latest update:
I was able to get the above problem resolved... the issue was that I was trying to use Joomla login as the master and the UBBthreads Jfusion Plugin as the slave. Reversed that (as it was originally described above) and now when users register through UBBthreads, an account is created in Joomla. Users who login through either side are logged into both.
First minor issue: When they log out, if they log out of joomla, it logs them out of UBBthreads, but if they log out of UBBthreads, they are still logged into the Joomla side... any thoughts?
Second issue: During the initial user sync, my Joomla "ADMIN" account was flagged as a conflict. I tried to ignore, then update the slave software, and later even tried deleting and recreating the account from scratch, but no matter what I try, my admin account has been rendered useless. Can't log in, I get the error "JUser::_load: User does not exist
"
When I log in as another superadmin, I can see the account. It's very odd. Not sure if anyone has also had something like this happen?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
