phpbb

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

This is an attempt to organize a group around the phpbb module. The module provides single sign-on and shared user profiles for Drupal and phpBB. It is not a complete integration or a close substitute for the built-in forums in Drupal.

You can use this group to get help with configuration issues or to compare notes on possible bugs. Patches are always welcome :)

Recent forum topics block puts a comma in domain name

I have a new phpBB3 install with Drupal Rel 5.12. The installation went rather smoothly.

The "Recent forum topics" block was installed on my drupal page and list items OK, however, the links it display are incorrect and therefore give errors.

The bad links are of the form

http://www,mysite.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2

instead of

http://www.mysite.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2

so the comma in the domain name causes the link to fail

I have searched the database and the installation subdirectories and have not found erroneous domain references.

Any ideas?

Move "Private Message" Link

Hi there,

at first thanks for the module and for all the work on it!

I just installed the module, and everything is working so far (except avatar sync). I am having a small problem, and I hope you can help me on this!

As the Title says I want to move the "Private Message" link to a different menu. I created a menu which is called forum, and I want to have it there. I cannot find the menu item under menu in the administration (also the link disappeares after I entered the menu admin). I also had a look on the included files, but did not found anything.

Syncronize group

I use Drupal 6.x and PhpBB3 integration.
I defined into my Drupal a group named "raffreddato" and into phpBB forum a group with the same name.
I'd like to have syncro between this gruop.

To explain better: when PhpBB create an user, phpbb must check if that user is into a drupal-group and put it in the corresponding group into phpBB-forum.
Is it possible to do it automatically?

Thanks a lot

Broken user creation

I have had an issue, because of a problem with MySQL dying, that I had a user created in Drupal, but not in the phpBB user table. I thought I fixed the problem by creating the user(s) by hand in the phpBB user table, but now when new users register through Drupal they do not show up in the phpBB users table. Their user names do show up in the config table as the 'latest user' but they have no account.

How do I fix this? Is there something like the sequences table in phpBB where I need to change the userID #?

Thanks,
Eric

Making another superuser...

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!

Why are the install instructions so bad?

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?

Both Drupal and phpBB databases already exist, but are not prefixed with drupal_ or phpbb_...

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.

Error when enabling recent topics block...

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;

Work on the Drupal 6 port... need help

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.
