Check http://www.tim-online.nl/ and then downloads.

I downloaded the phpBB login module and installed it on my site which has phpBB as a forum. When I tried to login through the phpBB login, it went to a black page and didn't go anywhere. What am I doing wrong? How do I get this to work???

Thanks r3dbaron

LBJerryH did you read the installation guide? And did you download this file "phpBB component 1.2.4 RC2"

The file http://www.tim-online.nl/index.php/component/option,com_docman/task,view_category/Itemid,55/subcat,9/catid,21/limitstart,0/limit,5/

I had similar problems, but Adam was great.....

I think the doco might be updated to reflect the entire process, as I still havent got mine working 100%...... I understand the phpBB configuration a lot better...

thinking about it, the phpBB login module didnt seem to be present in the zip I downloaded......


and wasnt avaialble in the site module list

Check J!Forge:
http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/l ... rs.modules

They've been added recently
I will have to put some effort into the installation process, still to many things that can go wrong.

Adam,
According to your manual the registration process will them be only from the phpBB and not from the Joomla interface. Is this correct? If so, is it a feature request already?

Thanks,

Yes PHPbb component does a hostile takeover of your user registrations. If you try creating a user the old way, you will get a MYSQL error, usually duplicate entry. Do not run import users if you don't have any administrators set in PHPbb. You do this and you loose admin access to Joomla, and are forced to create an admin account manually in PHPsqladmin. If your not upgrading a PHPbb database into a joomla integrated one, DO NOT run IMPORT Users. Hmm... More advice on it....  When upgrading a stand alone installation of PHPbb on ver 2.x, you must have you phpbb_* Tables in your Joomla database. Then when running the update 2.0.x to component 1.2.3.sql I had to drop: (using UPDATE/SET instead of ALTER/ADD hmm)

phpbb_forums  ---  auth_download
phpbb_auth_access ---  ADD auth_download
phpbb_posts --- post_attachment
phpbb_topics --- topic_attachment
phpbb_privmsgs --- privmsgs_attachment

For the SQL script to run successfully.

I just went through a huge ordeal with PHPbb component and importing in a postnuke_phpbb databse. You need to follow the PDF direction to the T.

There are two things to install, component then phpbb_login.zip (im attaching the module, worked for me on 4.5 series and Joomla).

I've seen 2 different ways to integrate phpBB into Joomla:

• http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/phpbb by Adam
• http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/heimdal by Christopher Roussel

However, I am looking for an integration that will not change dramatically the core files of either product and will serve as a bridge for registration/login. Ideally, the login from the Joomla front end will use the default login module and share the database/cookie/session info. Same thing for the phpBB side.

Is anyone out there working on this?
Has anyone tryied this before and for some reason it is not possible? Can you share with us what were the issues?

By the way, since I need this functionality, I might initiate some work on this - is there anyone interested in helping (testing, documenting, etc.)??

Thanks,
Ron Peled

Well im thinking a "bridge" that syncs user registrations after a register in both.

Then again i would much rather see a dam good forums component for Joomla. I want more than just user integration, i want latest post, want to create "discuss here" links, list goes on... My reasons for using PhpBB and not smf in this project is because, admins know that backend, and the lack of proper conversion methods. Don't get me wrong creating one myself wont happen. (phpbb to smf, got lost in threads,. some of it works), but then again think its about time various forums offered everyone available conversions. I couldn't imagine why if i made Tokyforums i wouldn't include a way to switch other forums to mine. Just jabbin at this point...

Go smf!

Adam,

I did try your phpBB component and it does a great job. I don't think there is additional need for another bridge. However, I will still need to figure out how to combine the sessions/login/logout procedures since I need a site that will work with phpBB and DocMan offering files only to registered users. I am fine with redoing some files in order for this to work. Later I will upgrade to the infamous Joomla 1.1.

If you can point me in the right direction that will be great! Where are the 'hooks' for the component?

Thanks,
Ron Peled
