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 :)
on Respecting (Drupal) Roles
I'm looking for a way to have phpbb respect a particular user role when users in that role log into the forum.
On a project I'm working on I'm using Ubercart to give members who pay a special role (Membership). (And when their subscription is over they revert to regular authenticated users.) Naturally, I would like to give them private forums, too. Although I could use phpbb3 as a general message board and then use the built-in Drupal forums as a Membership board, I'd rather keep it all in phpbb3.

Importing drupal forum posts

Read morephpbb/bypass not working
I seem to successfully have set up Drupal and PHPBB3 so that user registration/login is linked between the two and all user access seems to be fine. However, I am unable to login to PHPBB3 as the admin to be able to configure the forums. I am able to get the phpbb/bypass node to come up in Drupal, but it will not log me in. By looking at the url when clicking submit in phpbb/bypass, I am guessing it is coded to assume you have installed the forum in a folder called "PHPBB3"; however, my install exists in just "PHPBB" without the "3".
Read moreMy Account Issues
Hello,
I’ve integrated phpbb with a fresh install of Drupal 5.6, everything seems to work as expected (login, logout, private messages, recent posts etc) other than My Account.
(a) When I log in and click “My Account” I get “The requested URL /users/xxx was not found on this server.”
(b) “My Account” doesn’t appear under the Menu in Drupal->Site Building->Menus either. This is different to another installation I have where “My Account” appears as a menu item with a status of locked.
I’ve checked “forums.htaccess “ and “phpbb\configuration.inc” and they seem ok.

Read more"Mark forums read" for new users
Hi
I have recently installed Drupal 5 and phpBB3 with the integration module. Everything seems Ok so far except this one thing that is bugging me:
When new users register, all of the forum posts are shown as "unread" to them. Is there some way for me to automatically set all forums as "read" for new users?
UPDATE: It seems I have fixed the problem by adding these two lines above the first break; in the phpbb.module file:
$query = "UPDATE {$phpbbcfg['db_users']} SET user_lastmark = ".time()." WHERE user_id = ".$user->uid;
DRUPAL 6 RC1 and the phpbb module
Hi everyone,
Has anyone started to look into using adapting the code for the phpbb module and to make it work with DRUPAL 6? I havent been keeping up with all the changes but I wanted to experiment with it and found out that the DRUPAL_SEQUENCES table is no longer there. And it appears that DRUPAL 6's user table is using an AUTO INCREMENT. Thats not a big deal I guess since we just need to change the auto increment.
Read moreRemoving integrated menu items from Drupal menu (or modifying)
I figure this is probably in the php code somewhere, and I'll keep looking, but so far I haven't had much luck finding it:
I have a working, successful integration of Drupal 5 and phpBB 3. When users log into the Drupal site, they see the following menu items on the left nav menu (among others):
Forums
Private Messages
My Account
phpbb3 user statistics
Hi
Do you know if it is possible to integrate users who are on the website into the phpbb count?
So for example: if people go to http://drupal.i1media.no (the homepage and not the forum) the statistics count at the bottom of phpbb will count those users. so, that the user stats are for the whole website.
Thanks!
Regards
Read moreDrupal Menu integration into phpBB
Using the instructions described on http://drupal.i1media.no/ I made a Drupal website with phpBB included. Everything works fine, but like in the example I wanted to show the menu from my Drupal also in phpBB.
For now I've changed the phpBB templates and added the menu in simple HTML code, but off course when I want to add a menu item, I have to do this manually. Is there a way to link the menu from Drupal in my phpBB templates? How is it done in the example on http://drupal.i1media.no/?
drupal phpbb3 gallery integration
Just wondering what peoples ideas are when it comes to integrating a gallery, and how to approach it within the drupal/phpbb forum context. Coming from a phpbb2 / FAP gallery (similar to Smartor's) site, where the users have their own personal galleries, as well as post & comment on images uploaded to categories.. and post images in threads on the forum.. I'd like to know what others think the best way to handle a similar gallery feature, either drupal or phpbb based, would be.
Read moreUser integration isn't working: (Drupal => phpBB3)
A few minutes ago I wanted to install a phpBB3 Forum in combination with my existing Drupal v5.1 installation. (I already used the phpbb module with Drupal 5.x and phpBB2! It's working without a problem.) I followed the instructions for installing the module on http://drupal.i1media.no/ .
I think that I've installed the module successfully, the blocks are working fine and I don't get any error mesasges. There is only one problem, it doesn't want to integrate the users from drupal into phpBB3.
Read moreDrupal redirecting to PHPBB login screen when clicked on "private message"
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.

Read morephpBB 3.0 module is now 'silver'
I cleaned up a bit and rewrote parts of the instructions based on your feedback, everything should now be at http://drupal.i1media.no. It has been brought to my attention that the module doesn't work with PHP 4.x anymore. I don't have PHP 4.x, but I suspect it only breaks on less than 10 lines. Please submit a patch if you can. The only change in the latest version is the .htaccess file, I had not realized that phpBB 3.x now comes with its own. Thanks to Devis for pointing this out.
