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 :)
How to create a new phpbb administrator in Drupal
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but using the phpbb3x module (I'll try to switch over to phpbb3x),
I create a new user and assign him the role "phpbbadmin" who have the rights to administer phpbb. However,
when I login with that user I can't see the administrate phpbb-link in phpbb.
Am I misunderstanding something? Do I have to set that user as a phpbb-admin by using the super-phpbb user?
If that's the case, whats the purpose with "administer phpbb"?
Again, thanks for your help, your module is great!
Read moredrupal_sequences _ Drupal-5.3 _ phpBB 3.0-RC7 PostgreSQL
Hello arkepp!
I started install this 3rd time, because when i try create new user comes out error.
I didn't realize step 2.1 and my question is abut that
There WAS created new user in drupal tabel, but not in phpBBs tabel.
And i couldn't log out from phpBB. My cookie domain was blank, it could be a problem.
But it's droped all, and here is fresh
well, i don't find "drupal_sequences" table.
Is this problem of postgresql or it doesn't exist anymore or i didn+t get something?
Look at the table "drupal_sequences", update the row with name "drupal_users_uid"
other avatar path?
Hi arkepp,i like the avatar sync function but i have a question about it:
is it possible to change the avatar dir so that i can kepp the "/files" folder in drupal but still use the avatar sync function.
i'm using other modules like tinyMCE and IMCE thats uses the files folder and i cant replace it cause my older images will not work..,so if there is a sollution can you say howto do it pls?:)

Read more"Display Signatures" default value
For some reason when users register on my forum, the default value for "Display Signatures" in the user's UCP is always set to No, when it should be set to yes. This is a pretty big problem for me.
I'm wondering if this module has anything to do with why the forum is behaving like this. I have posted on the official phpbb support forums and no one knows why this is happening.
Read more[ SOLVED]Avoid to redirect to forum after login
Hello everybody!
First of all i would like to thanks a loto arkepp for his great job! Go arkepp!!! I appreciate this too much!!
I would like to ask you if is it possible to avoid that after each drupal login the user is redirect to the forum profile, redirecting it to the drupal site.
I looked at the source files, and i found something, but i don't understand well what to do.
A tip for the next version: make the drupal table prefix a variable ;)
Bye!

Updated beta for RC7
The beta has been updated again to keep up with phpBB and RC7. phpBB no longer uses regular MD5 hashes, which caused some pain and has resulted in a new file being included, hash.inc. If you have a bug to report, please make sure you are really running phpBB RC7 and have applied the database update. Drupal 5.3 should not cause any problems.
To update download the beta from http://kepp.net/phpbb3 and replace ALL the files, see the installation instructions for details
Read moreAdd postcount and other phpbb info on profile (nodeprofile)
Anyone else who uses the node profile module?
I'm currently looking for a way of displaying my post count and other information from the phpbb_user database on my drupal profile...
In general I want to be able to update/sync some information from Drupal (user's account settings) to phpbb (Example: add a signature in Drupal so it's displayed in phpbb).
I haven't looked to deeply into the phpbb module yet, I'm not a skilled programmer, but anyway, if anyone comes up with a solution please share your ideas.
Thanks ;)
Read moreTook site live... no one can log in
I took my site live last night and now no one but the super user can log in to phpbb.
I had been developing the site on a subdomain, and moved it over to the "normal" domain when I took it live. I can log in to Drupal just fine, but I will not be logged in to phpbb like the module is supposed to do. Furthermore, if I try to log in to phpbb first, the screen just refreshes and I do not get logged in, but when I go onto the Drupal site I WILL be logged in over there. So clearly there is still a "bridge" between the two systems, but for whatever reason phpbb simply won't allow me to log in.
Read moreSQL Error when setting a user as "founder"
I'm using the latest phpbb 3.0 module with Drupal 5.2. Both Drupal and phpbb are running on mysqli. I logged into the phpbb superuser account (phpbb/bypass) and tried setting user myself as "founder" and this error came up on a nice neat phpbb generated page:

Read morequery failed error
Hi,
I installed http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/phpbb-5.x-1.1.tar.gz with phpBB2.0.22 and Drupal 5.2
I try to load my website after enabling the module (and setting the paths), I get this error:
Query failed: SELECT topics.topic_id, topics.topic_title, topics.topic_last_post_id FROM topics LEFT JOIN forums ON topics.forum_id = forums.forum_id WHERE forums.auth_view = 0 ORDER BY topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT 10;
These tables exist in my phpBB database, but obviously not in my drupal database
Read moreproblems with phpbb module in combination with imagecache module
I have a problem. And I am working on it now, for 4 days. I can't get imagecache to work on my site where phpbb3 is integrated. I did everything I found on the drupal site to get it working.
I found that with the integration of phpbb in drupal stops imagecache from working ( or viceversa )
The .htaccess file that needs to be placed in the forum directory blocks the creation of the imagecache directories and thumbnails.
Updated beta
Based on Yorlik's and demon326's bug reports (see previous update thread) I have fixed four issues (clean usernames, group id on user row in phpBB, user count statistics, forgotten comment "hah"). The beta has been updated and can be downloaded from here. It is enough to replace phpbb.module if you were using the previous version from September 10th. Note that it was not possible to register new users on the demo-website over the weekend, I started working on the first issue but had to quit halfway.
Read moreUpdated beta
The beta version of the module has once again been updated. Quite a few things have been changed. In short: You have to replace all the files, including the two new ones: functions_drupal.php (contains three configuration values near the top) and acp_users.php. You can find the download and instructions here: http://kepp.net/phpbb3/

Hi all,i'm starting this topics so i dont have to hijack the other ones :).
now i'm having some problems and these are the following:
1 recent topics block wont show topics
2 new user regestration gets ""this board has no forums"( i dont know if the problem is with the module but i have to grant the user manualy the acces :S)
3 session problem?,when i log in to phpbb using my drupal super account nothings hapens when logging in the fields just reset,but when i comment out the following lines in .htacces:
phpBB3 Module redirecting "My Account" page.
I would like drupal to handle the users profiles, but when "My Account" is clicked it redirects to the forum's user profile.
What would happen if I were to comment out the .module code that redirects this url? Is the reason for this redirect technical or personal preference?
Surely it would be better for drupal to handle the account settings instead of phpbb, more integral.
phpbb3 module and database change
Hi all,
i'm a phpbb and drupal user but there is a thing that i dont like
and that is changing a database table in a live site.. i did it on my live site and my user count was going from 100 to 1000 but there are only 100 so the next user has gotten ID 1001 and i dont like when that hapens :P.
this is what arkepp sayed:
"It is not changing the database, it is changing a value in the sequence table. It is the equivalent of a spammer visiting your site, adding 100 (or 1000, as I recommend, but the value is of no importance) users and then you deleting them again.
