The current version of Joomla 2 Simple Machines Forum Bridge works with recent versions of the Joomla 1.5 framework. It will not work with either Joomla 1.0 or any of the Mambo distributions.

J2SMF also requires PHP 5 and the MySQL Improvied ( MySQLi ) core library. Joomla must be configured to connect to the database using the MySQLi driver and not the older MySQL driver. The PHP MbString extension is also highly recommended.
