Hi all,

I am new here. Please forgive me if this is not the area to post the phpbb issue that I have.
I am trying to integrate phpbb3 with Drupal 5.3. I have installed phpbb3 now. It went through fine.

Now, I am not able to see the phpbb module on drupal settings. I have enabled it. I tried thrice.
The process I followed was,

  1. Downloaded phpbb module from http://drupal.i1media.no/downloads/phpbb_latest.tar.gz
  2. Unzipped it and copied the folder to drupal module.
  3. Enabled the module

After this,
I tried to edit modules/phpbb/configuration.inc and replaced the string "phpbb" with "forum" (that's my phpbb3 installation folder name), with no luck.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance,
Nithin.

Instruction point for point

Hi, and welcome to the club.
I tried yesterday and I was almost in "heaven". It's was only something about "superuser".
Here are what you have to do.
You have to edit more then only the string "phpbb" with "forum" .

This string also:
//The absolute path as seen by the webbrowser, including slashes ("/").
//Example: http://www.someplace.com/drupal/forum -> /drupal/forum/
$phpbbcfg['path_abs'] = '/phpBB3/';

For me it was " http://ubercart.drupal.no/phpBB3/ "
And I always chance my prefix, so I get litle bit trouble with that. When you chance your prefix when you installed some program you can have many different installation of the same program in same database. But if you don't chance it, don't chance it. ($db_prefix = 'phpbb_';)

So you have to follow the instrucsion point for point and use time to understand it . I will try again later to day

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I had already changed it. I can access phpbb the way you are tell me to (http://domain.com/forum/). My problem is not with phpbb3. I have problem with Drupal's module for phpbb, which I am not able to see anywhere after my phpbb module installation. I will try again following that phpbb+drupal instruction from first.

Regards,
Nithin.

Hi,

I installed phpbb3 again. I removed all the tables from the database. I re-installed phpbb module for drupal.

Now I am not able to login into both Drupal and phpbb3. I am glad that they both are accessing the same table but both are not workin. I am getting the following error.

Query failed: 0 INSERT INTO phpbb_users (user_id,group_id,username,username_clean,user_password,user_regdate,user_email,user_options,user_lang,user_timezone,user_sig,user_lastpage,user_permissions,user_from,user_aim,user_yim,user_msnm,user_jabber,user_website,user_occ,user_interests) VALUES(1001,2,'phpbb','phpbb','d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e',1202620001,'phpbb@admin.com','853','en',0,'','','','','','','','','','','')

Please tell me what could have gone wrong? Also, when I "enable" phpbb module in Drupal, am I suppose to see it in Modules, Menu, Blocks or somewhere in the Settings page? I cant see it anywhere. I just added a new Menu Items myself to link to the forum.

Thanks in advance
