phpBB

I'm new to phpbb and Drupal integration. I've come across both the phpbb module and the phpBBforum Integration module. Can anyone compare these two modules? Are they complimentary or two ways of doing the same thing?

Fresh install this time with Drupal 5.7 and stabile release of phpBB3 forum.

First time i had problems with sequences.
This can be easy done like this:

connect with database:
~ $ psql drupal_db

To view sequence tables:
drupal_db=> \ds

And there i found sequence table that i looking for
drupal_db=> SELECT * FROM drupal_users_uid_seq;

First have to restart it
drupal_db=> ALTER SEQUENCE drupal_users_uid_seq RESTART WITH 1000;
and than fix minimal value

I installed phpbb module. (drupal 5.3 and phpbb3)
If I change a password in phpbb profile, it doesn't works in drupal.
if drupal admin deletes a user in drupal, that user doesn't work any longer, because I have to log from drupal; but if I try to create again that username, it says

• I login in Drupal.
• I click on forum link and enter the phpbb forum, where i'm correctly logged in.
• I click on Logout in the phpbb forum: i get "Page not found" in Drupal.

I also had another problem with redirects, described here, which I paste here too, if it can be useful:
"Forum stuff" block shows 3 links: private messages, unread topics, unread posts. Links to topics and posts work, but "private messages" links to a "forum/inbox" which doesn't exist. But inbox exists, I can use it from the forum.

I installed phpbb3 and phpbb module.

"Forum stuff" block shows 3 links: private messages, unread topics, unread posts. Links to topics and posts work, but "private messages" links to a "forum/inbox" which doesn't exist. But inbox exists, I can use it from the forum.

Why?

Hello Arkepp, i just found a little conflict with the phpbb module htacces file and imagecache...when the htaccess is enabled it does not generate thumbsnails and does not display them lik they need to be..

when i Disable the htaccess file its all working like it has to be :), i found this problem after using google for more then a houre and found a rss feed frome this site..,so is there something that can fix it ?

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".

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.

So I did a fresh reinstall to make sure everything is working. Which it actually is, so I guess it's time to call it 'bronze'. I'll move the instructions over to http://drupal.i1media.no soon (the new home for the module), but feel free to test in the meantime. The instructions haven't changed, but I'll try to clean them up a bit and cover more of the stuff you have been asking about.

As I mentioned previously, on November 5th we moved all our websites ( http://mac1.no, http://linux1.no, http://kreativ1.no + a few others ) to Drupal 5.3 / phpBB 3.x. The module has actually not caused a single problem since then, but there were other things that kept me busy*. This weekend we upgraded to RC8 by applying the diff directly, and that worked flawlessly too. I have updated the module, but not had a chance to test it properly. Unfortunately, the version we use on our production sites depends on a lot of code you don't want, so the code released here comes from a different branch and QA has to be done separately.
