phpbb

Are there any instruction on how and where to ad the translation marks
on the phpbb module code?
Simple for plain text , but not when includes links and other markups.
Thanks,

My phpbbforum module successfully installed but when I tried logging into my phpbb forum at http://www.blackshotforce.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login, I get a "The requested page could not be found." Any ideas? What file controls the login page on phpbb?

I have a Drupal 6.4 installation that I want to integrate with my phpBB 2.0 installation. Both are installed on the same database. Anyone know how to do it?

(I found an older topic with the exact same question, but no answer. I started a new topic, though, because I was afraid nobody would notice my answer in an ages old topic. Sorry for any inconvenience).

The problem is simple:

Hi there,
Drupal 6.4
I integrated a phpbb3 Forum in my Drupal Site. It works!! :-) I used the the modul for Drupal. Do I have to make some more changes ?
Pehaps this?
http://drupal.i1media.no/drupal+phpbb/modify_phpbb

Only one thing is not clear - how is the role management working? Is it possible that a user take his roll with him?

Because I like to cluster my users and I want to have different roles in phpBB3.

Well the integration went perfectly and the users are synced and everything is running fine.

Only one problem though, I cannot log into PHPBB as the superuser meaning I cannot make another user superuser which means I have a forum that works 100% but I can't make threads or customize the settings. Is there anyway I can get it so the superuser can login or is there anyway to grant a user full permissions (make them founder for example) via the MySQL database?

Thanks!

Hi every one,
Is there any body that knows, how I can import my existing Drupal users into PHPBB3?!
My Drupal site have over 800 users, and I install the PHPBB3 by arkepp guide.
Every thing is OK, it means that new user can register and PHPBB3 is recognising them! But my existing user can not login to PHPBB3!
How i can fix this problem!? Please help me!

Hello,

I installed the 6.0 version of this mod and so far it seems to be working great. Thank you! I have a question though, and hope someone would be able to help me.

OK I think I got everything set, although I'm not sure if users are syncing, and also, why don't the instuctions include how to actually integrate/link to the forum? Isn't that kind of the point of the whole thing?

Anyone help me out please?

What do I do? The Drupal ones have no prefix, and the ones for the phpBB are just bb_.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated, thanks.

I get this error when I tried to turn on the block for recent forum topics (PHP3.x). It's giving me an error, and now I can't even access administration to disable the block. Would the phpBB being version 3.02 have anything to do with it?

Query failed: Unknown column 'bb_forums.auth_view' in 'where clause' SELECT bb_topics.topic_id, bb_topics.topic_title, bb_topics.topic_last_post_id FROM bb_topics LEFT JOIN bb_forums ON bb_topics.forum_id = bb_forums.forum_id WHERE bb_forums.auth_view = 0 ORDER BY topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT 10;

Hi all, new to drupal groups, hope this is posted in the correct place.

I'm having trouble with the phpbb module for drupal.

I have drupal installed with the gallery 2 module successfully installed.
I have the PHPBB module installed, and the PHPBB3 forum.

When i attempt to log into the PHPBB forum, i find i am redirected to the home page of the forum, and do not appear to be loged in. This is the case for all users.
The login button links to the correct location, but it is for some reason being redirected it seems.

Views and CCK have both released Release Candidates for Drupal 6 and that means it's time to get the show on the road for the phpbb module. As I've said in another topic, I've been working on the problems identified in Drupal 6 conversion notes, but I need some help getting everything figured out.

I've figured out the two main issues identified in that topic...

a) "$phpbbcfg['allow_drupal_profiles'] is broken" because the variable was set to 'false' with the quotation marks and so php was treating it as a string.

Is possible to install drupal in one database (with his username and password) and phpBB in another database (with other username and password), using phpBB module?

In my "configuration.inc.php" file, i've add this:

$db_prefix = 'phpBbDatabaseName.phpbb_';

instead of

$db_prefix = 'phpbb_';

but i've got this error:

<

pre>user warning: Access denied for user 'drupalDBuser'@'%' to database 'phpBbDatabaseName' query:
SELECT user_unread_privmsg FROM phpBbDatabaseName.phpbb_users WHERE user_id = 1 in

Hello,

I'm wondering if it would be difficult to move an existing phpbb system from phpbbforum to this module?

I already have several users and a lot of content so starting over is not an option at the moment.

Would it be difficult and most importantly, would it work?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Wayne

I'm building a new drupal site, i'm using drupal 5.7 (6 is no go because I'm using ubercart) and I'd like to integrate it with a phpbb 3.0.1.
Looking around on drupal.org I understand there are two modules to do this phpBBforum and the phpbb module, both of them seem to be actively maintained. Anyone have experience using both of them ? Which one should I use ? Which one is more stable and featured?

I'm now using phpbb and seems to work ok... still need to do an extensive test but user get created and login works ok.

Thanks
Diego.

I installed drupal 5.7 w/phpbb 3.0.1 and integrated the database using the phpbb drupal module.
I'm having problems logging in to the phpbb forums (i.e. to http://mysite/phpbb or in my case http://mysite/forum). It doesn't matter whether I try to login as admin or regular user to phpbb, I'm redirected to "Access forbidden. Error 403" by the browser. I know that whenever I add a new user to drupal that user is also being added to phpbb because the username of the newest drupal user shows up at the bottom of the phpbb login page as the "Our newest member: newest drupal member".

Hello,
I have installed Drupal 5.7, phpBB3.0.1 and the latest version of this mod.
The registered users' accounts work wonderfully! But the thing is, I can not login to the Admin Control Panel for phpBB. When I log in, the login page just reloads, nothing happends. When I login to drupal, I get
(The Drupal superuser is never logged into phpBB). You should create a new user and give this user admin rights in both Drupal and phpBB.
From here, what should I do? Register a new drupal account and edit it through drupal somehow?

So I'm reading on this module and it seems great, the default forums, to me, don't cut it and I like what this can do, but here are my questions.

*Since there will always be the forum profile and the Drupal profile, could there be a way that in the forums something is automatically included in the forum profiles for a user directing people to their Drupal site profile? So if the user is bob, under their name in a forum post, or viewing their profile on the forum there would be a button for you to click to go to the Drupal profile, which would be www.site.com/users/bob

Hello guys, I've set up drupal 5.7 and phpBB 3.0.1 and managed to get things working right, but one small bug I can't seem to work out.

The recent forum topics were initially updating when I set it up, but after editting and adding some Forums in phpBB, the Recent forum topics are no longer updating, it's just blank.

I've gone over everything twice and it looks right, just wondering in anyone has run into this problem before or has any suggestions to try.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys, I am currently trying to get the module to work with an existing drupal install.

The database name is willdcou_unfamilia

I'm not the best at sql and phpmyadmin.

I tried to run this query

UPDATE willdcou_unfamilia.sequences SET id = '1000' WHERE sequences.name = 'users_uid' LIMIT 1 ;

which comes back with the following error

ERROR: Unclosed quote @ 52
STR: '
SQL: UPDATE willdcou_unfamilia.sequences SET id = \'1000\' WHERE sequences.name = \'users_uid\' LIMIT 1 ;

SQL query:

Hi,

I just got my hands into a new exciting project, which involves the upgrading an exisiting forum from Drupal system to PHPBB.

Being an existing forum, it has some content on it and my clients wants it into the new system. Is there anything already built to perform this task?

Thanks,

Ed

Hello Arkepp, i made youre install instructions if it comes to editing the phpbb files a little bit more clear :), i used the phpbb3 mod install template to tell the users howto edit..

you can download it here:
http://panzerkampf.be/phpbb/phpbb-drupal.zip

i hope you dont mind it that i did it :)

I've made patch which allows to import existing users from phpBB 3 to Drupal 5.5

This hook must be added to phpbb.module to import users.

Brief overview: on login try phpbb_auth() (implementation of hook_auth()) tries to check if user with such name exists in phpBB user database and if it exists and entered password matches password in phpBB database it copies account information to Drupal users table and loggs user in. Then imported user can login using default Drupal auth system even if phpBB integration doesn't exist anymore.
<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_auth

ok here's the deal I am testing out drupal/phpbb3 on my local server. Everything is working out right but for some weird reason the forum titles on the block instead of linking to: http://192.168.0.100/dwmt/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1 it's linking to: http://192.168.0.100/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1

and of course that doesn't work because the forum resides in /var/www/dwmt/forum

How do I fix this?

I know this module uses Drupal's database abstraction layer to get to phpBB's database. But what I don't understand is, how do the Drupal functions like db_query() and db_result() know to go into the phpBB database rather than the Drupal database? If I were to try to get some information from phpBB outside of this module, say like this:

I would get an error from Drupal saying:
