REWRITECOND for bypass problem

I think I have explained this already:

It wont work when you go to the ucp.php, because that file generate a

<

form> that posts to a url WITHOUT bypass=true.

You click submit -> webbrowser requests POST to url without bypass=true -> webserver answers : redirect /user/login

You HAVE to use /phpbb/bypass , and enter the correct username / password on the first attempt. I agree this could be improved upon, maybe using a referer check, but that's not reliable either.

Remove the .htaccess file, ensure your username / password is correct, enable .htaccess file, go back to /phpbb/bypass and try again.

I have done what you asked for by as I suspected it would not work just because I am asking to redirect to ../phpbb/login and there is nothing there. Something is missing. If not, shed some light because I really don't know how you have done it.

Hi again,

I tested my clear URL and it works if I do admin/settings for example. This is one of the tests they have you do from one of the drupal's tutorials : http://drupal.org/node/15365. It seems that the problem is somewhere else. I tried putting traces in phpbb_view and its never called. Everytime I try to access one of the functions you setted, it doesn't work anymore. Mind you, this is drupal 6 so, it is possible that something is missing. Have you tried a site with Drupal 6 and PHPBB3 with the changes I have made? Would be nice for someone else to confirm it this works or if I am doing something wrong. Then again, if I am, the test suggested in the TUTORIAL wouldn't work either.

BTW : It seems that even though I thought I did everything right, I was missing the clear URL. Must be very tired from overtime so my apologies. In the end, looks like the changes I made might have broken something or something else is missing that I need to do with drupal 6..

Hello again,

again sorry for that. Its hard to be specific when you think you have all the pieces of the puzzle. But then again, thats why we are a community and help each other and make things move forward. All this has some good after all. The code that I have submitted to you had some bugs. The hook menu needs to be modified with the following code :

global $user, $phpbbcfg;

$phpbb_menu_items['phpbb'] = array(
'title' => t('phpbb'),
'page callback' => 'phpbb_view',
'access callback' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);

$new = 0;

// Show private messages?
$new = _phpbb_pm_count($user->uid);

$phpbb_menu_items[$phpbbcfg['path_rel'].'inbox'] = array(
  'title' => t($phpbbcfg['pm_title']) . ($new ? ' ('. $new .')' : ''),
  'page callback' => 'phpbb_view',
  'access callback' => $user->uid  ? TRUE : FALSE,
  'type' => $user->uid ? MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM : MENU_CALLBACK
);

return $phpbb_menu_items;

Mind you, the access callback allows everyone to access this. In the future, user_access will need to be defined if you don't want everyone to access this, like the diagnostic page. So you would have this instead :

    'access arguments' => some arguments here
'access callback' => user_access,

Then you need to define your access, etc.

Anyways, with 'access callback' => TRUE, it fixes the problem.

Thanks again.. I know it can be frustrating to lose some time but, it has to be expected since not everyone is at the same level. I am a coder, and while I can code very well in C++, understand PHP is easy, that doesn'T mean I'll know everything about DRUPAL or web stuff.. Takes time and you can expect you will run into people with even less knowledge. But take a look at it this way, things are moving forward and the time needed to have an official phpbb3 module for Drupal 6 will not be as much as it would have been before.

Cheers.
