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 have disabled the user management in PHPBB from ACP.
Session Persistence is set to "Yes" in PHPBB from ACP.
mod-rewrite engine is configured and .htaccess is modified as per the changes suggested.

Go to admin/build/block
And enable the desired blocks for the forum navigation.
Second,
on the demo site see the ,

the cookies .
Yeah, I have to agree with
Yeah, I have to agree with Panas, it looks like phpBB doesn't recognize the cookies, so that's why it doesn't show you your inbox, but prompts for login instead.
The module does not create any links to the forum automatically, you can do that manually or activate the block.
Same problem
I have the exact same problem. I tried the test procedure, and I can never seem to get the same cookie in the sessions table to match what I have in my browser. Either something is not configured right or I am not doing the test right.
So far, the only thing that works is creating a new user. Loging in, deleting, and everything else fails. Plus, I noticed that when you logout, you would expect the appropriate session cookie to be removed.. Its not.. Probably for the same reason that when you remove a user, its not cleaned from the phpbb tables.
Anyone has an idea as to what could be the problem??
Thanks
Problem solved
Well looks like my knowledge of PHPBB, DRUPAL and cookies was the problem ;-). I didnt pay attention to the address and that changed when I requested to switch to the forums. Which is why the cookies that were created for the session after logging in on Drupal never got taken into consideration.
So far so good.. Everything is working great. Ohh and Arkepp.. Remember those problems I had with the creation of the user, which gave me an error with the function that accessed PHPBB? Well the problem seems to be gone. I don't know if you have change something somewhere and to tell you the truth, I didnt compare the original code with the patch I had made to see if something was different btu. It works great now.
Thanks
One little problem - Logout from forum
The logout from the forums doesnt log me out from drupal.. Anyone might know why?
The .htaccess file in the
The .htaccess file in the phpBB directory must not be redirecting properly to /user/logout
Check that going there directly has the desired effect, then check the rules.
