phpbb

I'm looking for a way to have phpbb respect a particular user role when users in that role log into the forum.

On a project I'm working on I'm using Ubercart to give members who pay a special role (Membership). (And when their subscription is over they revert to regular authenticated users.) Naturally, I would like to give them private forums, too. Although I could use phpbb3 as a general message board and then use the built-in Drupal forums as a Membership board, I'd rather keep it all in phpbb3.

Hello,

i got some more problems with cookies. I can login with Firefox an Opera and switch to my user profil without any problem. after logging off the cookies are flushed as supposed.
With IExplore 6.0 only the drupal login works. When i want to switch to my profil i got the forum login page. Login doesn ́t work.

So: Firefox, Opera ok
IExplore forum won ́t work.

When i run the diagnostic script after IE login, i got this:

Current domain: www.derwitt.de
_k cookie Missing!
_u cookie UID not matching, 1, Drupal: 1002

Hello,

I recently imported all content from a phpnuke site to a drupal installation and now I want to integrate phpbb into my drupal site. Is this possible easily and if so, is it done automatically by the module? (I could not find it in documentation).

Versions:
drupal - the lastest 5.x
phpbb3

Thanks :)

Hello,

I noticed on my site that there was a link that was spreaded all over the page!

So i looked at phpbb.module and i found an error:

at about line 700
<?php
// New topics since last visit
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$phpbbcfg['db_topics']} LEFT JOIN {$phpbbcfg['db_users']} ON {$phpbbcfg['db_topics']}.topic_time > {$phpbbcfg['db_users']}.user_lastvisit WHERE user_id = ". $user->uid;
$res = db_query($query);
$row = db_fetch_array($res);
$url = $phpbbcfg['path_abs'].'search.php?search_id=newposts&sr=topics';

Hello Arkepp, i just found a little conflict with the phpbb module htacces file and imagecache...when the htaccess is enabled it does not generate thumbsnails and does not display them lik they need to be..

when i Disable the htaccess file its all working like it has to be :), i found this problem after using google for more then a houre and found a rss feed frome this site..,so is there something that can fix it ?

I seem to successfully have set up Drupal and PHPBB3 so that user registration/login is linked between the two and all user access seems to be fine. However, I am unable to login to PHPBB3 as the admin to be able to configure the forums. I am able to get the phpbb/bypass node to come up in Drupal, but it will not log me in. By looking at the url when clicking submit in phpbb/bypass, I am guessing it is coded to assume you have installed the forum in a folder called "PHPBB3"; however, my install exists in just "PHPBB" without the "3".

Hello,

I’ve integrated phpbb with a fresh install of Drupal 5.6, everything seems to work as expected (login, logout, private messages, recent posts etc) other than My Account.

(a) When I log in and click "My Account" I get "The requested URL /users/xxx was not found on this server."
(b) "My Account" doesn’t appear under the Menu in Drupal->Site Building->Menus either. This is different to another installation I have where "My Account" appears as a menu item with a status of locked.

I’ve checked "forums.htaccess " and "phpbb\configuration.inc" and they seem ok.

Hello,

Hi
I have recently installed Drupal 5 and phpBB3 with the integration module. Everything seems Ok so far except this one thing that is bugging me:
When new users register, all of the forum posts are shown as "unread" to them. Is there some way for me to automatically set all forums as "read" for new users?

UPDATE: It seems I have fixed the problem by adding these two lines above the first break; in the phpbb.module file:

$query = "UPDATE {$phpbbcfg['db_users']} SET user_lastmark = ".time()." WHERE user_id = ".$user->uid;

Hi everyone,

Has anyone started to look into using adapting the code for the phpbb module and to make it work with DRUPAL 6? I havent been keeping up with all the changes but I wanted to experiment with it and found out that the DRUPAL_SEQUENCES table is no longer there. And it appears that DRUPAL 6's user table is using an AUTO INCREMENT. Thats not a big deal I guess since we just need to change the auto increment.

I figure this is probably in the php code somewhere, and I'll keep looking, but so far I haven't had much luck finding it:

I have a working, successful integration of Drupal 5 and phpBB 3. When users log into the Drupal site, they see the following menu items on the left nav menu (among others):
Forums
Private Messages
My Account

Hi

Do you know if it is possible to integrate users who are on the website into the phpbb count?

So for example: if people go to http://drupal.i1media.no (the homepage and not the forum) the statistics count at the bottom of phpbb will count those users. so, that the user stats are for the whole website.

Thanks!

Regards

Using the instructions described on http://drupal.i1media.no/ I made a Drupal website with phpBB included. Everything works fine, but like in the example I wanted to show the menu from my Drupal also in phpBB.
For now I've changed the phpBB templates and added the menu in simple HTML code, but off course when I want to add a menu item, I have to do this manually. Is there a way to link the menu from Drupal in my phpBB templates? How is it done in the example on http://drupal.i1media.no/?

Just wondering what peoples ideas are when it comes to integrating a gallery, and how to approach it within the drupal/phpbb forum context. Coming from a phpbb2 / FAP gallery (similar to Smartor's) site, where the users have their own personal galleries, as well as post & comment on images uploaded to categories.. and post images in threads on the forum.. I'd like to know what others think the best way to handle a similar gallery feature, either drupal or phpbb based, would be.

A few minutes ago I wanted to install a phpBB3 Forum in combination with my existing Drupal v5.1 installation. (I already used the phpbb module with Drupal 5.x and phpBB2! It's working without a problem.) I followed the instructions for installing the module on http://drupal.i1media.no/ .

I think that I've installed the module successfully, the blocks are working fine and I don't get any error mesasges. There is only one problem, it doesn't want to integrate the users from drupal into phpBB3.

Hi

I have installed Drupal 5.5, PHPBB3.0 and the integration module by following http://drupal.org/project/phpbb.

I have enabled the PHPBB module in Drupal Module Management. However I can only see one new link i.e "Private Messages" on the left hand side after I login. I am not able to see any of the links for PHPBB forum.

Please let me know How to get the link.

Also when I click on "Private Messages" link, web browser redirecting me to the login screen of PHPBB forum. Please let me know how to overcome this.

Thanks
Ravi Kotha.

Note:

I cleaned up a bit and rewrote parts of the instructions based on your feedback, everything should now be at http://drupal.i1media.no. It has been brought to my attention that the module doesn't work with PHP 4.x anymore. I don't have PHP 4.x, but I suspect it only breaks on less than 10 lines. Please submit a patch if you can. The only change in the latest version is the .htaccess file, I had not realized that phpBB 3.x now comes with its own. Thanks to Devis for pointing this out.

I'm wanting to integrate a new install of phpbb-2 with an existing Drupal 5 site. Seems straightforward, but in my case, User 2 on my existing Drupal site happens to be one of site's main contributors. Simply taking over his uid and changing the username/password/email is problematic.
