Change the Drupal theme when the forum theme changes

When I was using the phpbb2x module, I gave my users the possibility to change the theme in Drupal.
By some simple coding my forum's theme changed depending on the theme set in Drupal...

However.. I'm not quite sure how to do this trick the other way around... any ideas?
When changing the theme in the forum it should also change the theme in Drupal (in order to match).

Is it possible to make Drupal get the users avatar from the forum?

I use the following code in order to display my users avatar (if they have any) on my site.
Since phpbb3 handles my avatars... is there any way of getting this to work?
The problem is that Drupal doesn't know about the phpbb3 avatars and because of their random filenames I don't know how to get this to work...

<?php
global $user;
if (
$user->picture ) {
   print
"<div id=\"userbar_avatar\"><a href=". $base_path ."/user/". $user->uid .">" .theme(''user_picture'', $user, ''user_picture''). " </a></div>";
}
?>

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!

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

Add 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 ;)

query 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

problems 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.
