Sorry if I've missed something obvious here!

I've succesfully integrated Drupal 5.3 with my existing 20000+ user phpBB2 installation (thanks!) but have an issue with new private messages not being flagged up on the forum pages. Is the phpBB module supposed to update the message count in the forum or do I need to write some code to grab this information from Drupal?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Hi, you're right, there is currently no code to do this for the phpBB 2.x module.

Ideally, I think you would modify the privatemsg module to set user_new_privmsg in the phpBB user table, but I have not investigated this much. I'd avoid querying in the privatemsg table for every forum page request though.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take a look at the privatemsg module later today and see if I can get it to update the forum tables - I've had a lot of flak over this missing feature since taking the site live :)

Cheers

I guess I curious if BP has had a chance to take a loot at this issue. I was going to try to make a patch myself but I wont want to reinvent a bicycle..
