Mehdi's Bridge for Phpbb2 (not 3 yet ...)

[mehdi]

hi kerma,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function joomphpbbBindUsername() in /htdocs/wwwroot/forum/login.php on line 57

obviously the joomphpbb_engine.php file is missing or not invoked.
probably you didn't install things properly.
I can't figure out how you got this error. Sorry.

[UnsTotti]

Hello Mehdi,

I have installed the bridge and she works fine. Many thanks for it.

Only I have a small problem.
The forum runs within Joomla, so with "true" not false.

Now I have inserted a Mod "activity mod plus" where I can call play Games about a Popup.

However every time when I call the play, it is indicated of the Joomla Header with and I do not want it thust.
activity.php is includet in inc_activity.php.
Is there a possibility to indicate the plays without joomla header?

I thank you very much for your answer. 

Yours sincerely

Unstotti

Hi UnsTotti,
your question is not quite clear.
I guess you wish to disable "visual integration" for activity.php only.
What I suggest is that you
edit the joomphpbb_engine.php file
And near the comment "we must disable visual integration from certain pages "
inside the if($joomIntegrate) test,
insert between lines 45 & 46 this line:

if( strcmp($phpbbCurPage,"activity")==0) $joomIntegrate=false;

just in case:

line 45:            }
      /* insert your new line here */
line 46:        }//end if if($joomIntegrate)
line 47:  } //end bloc first initialisations

Hello Mehdi,

thank you for your answer.
I don`t know this whether I has properly written...
Also, I have installed the bridge, then I have in the Joomphpbb.php, put the forum on true.
So thus

Code: Select all

$joomIntegrate = true;

with it the forum runs in Joomla.

Then I have inserted the Mod " activity mod plus".
I have changed the file activity.php in inc_activity.
With it is also indicated in Startside by the Activity Mod plus within Joomla.
If I play now a game about a Popup Window, the play is indicated me.
This is OK.
But round the play is indicated me of the Header by Joomla. I would not want this, I would like to have indicated only the Game not the Header or Modules from Joomla. I hope you understand my posting.

Sorry for my bad English, is not my motherlanguage.

Here are an example for you. Then you will see what I mean

http://www.free-game.co.uk/activity.php ... 048d377337
This Site is not my Site, is an example, so that you see what I mean with the Popup Window

Many thanks for your efforts.

hi shadowmaster

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkinputarray()

Well, I think you didn't update globals.php file, that would explain ...

I hate to bring up this old thread, but I am having the same problem..
a call to undefined function checkinputarray() in the reply preview box and for smileys

and I can not find anywhere where it says to change anything in the globals.php file for the medhi bridge.

[mehdi]

hi saltcreep,

a call to undefined function checkinputarray() in the reply preview box and for smileys

use joomla 1.013/1.012 please and no other version.

I find weird however that you don't get problem for all  other pages

[saltcreep]

I only see the checkinputarray() error in the places where intergration is turned off.

I changed joomphpbb_engine.php to not turn off intergration on smileys or the preview pane and they work, but I get the full joomla screen in those areas when I do that.

Joomla version is 1.0.13
phpBB version is 2.0.22

[mehdi]

hi saltcreep

disabling integration call index2.php of joomla instead of index.php
and then do not bother at parsing output to integrate phpbb content.
Perhaps you have a problem with index2.php file of Joomla (in the root of your joomla install).
Does the print button work, in any joomla article ?

[saltcreep]

Mehdi you are a genius!!

Thank you, index2.php was missing.  I have replaced it and it is working correctly now.

Thankyou very much!!

I have emailed Mehdi several times about financing the development of PHPBB3 for Joomla but I never got a response. The offer of $1500 is still on the table. My email is: [email protected] .

Hi all.  I hate to bring up an older topic, but having issues.

I'm attempting to install Mehdi's Coppermine bridge.

However, this is the error I'm getting:
Cannot find "com_coppermine" component .
Seems you need to install it first.

My site is http://www.sekgg.net with coppermine at http://www.sekgg.net/gallery

Any thoughts? 

The directions were clear, however, I wasn't for sure what was meant by the first step: "install com_coppermine.zip inside Joomla"  Does that mean simply FTP the zipped file over to my home directly where Joomla is installed, or unzip the com_coppermine file first, then FTP the three files over to my home directory?  I use Go Daddy, and my plan doesn't allow unzipping on their server (unless I missed it).

Thanks a bunch, I look forward to getting this installed, and happy holidays!

Hi!

At first i would like to thanks for this great bridge between Joomla and phpbb2 forum. Few days ago, i successfuly installed bridge on Win XP (WAMP server). Everything was perfect.

But yesterday, i got new server on Linux and now, bridge dont work anymore. I installed fresh copy of Joomla 1.0.13 on Linux server. Than i create new database, called forum and installed phpbb2 forum.

I also import table "joomphpbb.sql" and than create URL link in main menu to my forum (just like on Win XP). Than i replaced 26 php files and modyfied joomphpbb_conf.php --> $joomUrl="http://my_domain/1/forum";

I use default template (SubSilver) with no modifications. When i tryed to access forum, i got the following error message:

Notice: Constant JOOM_PHPBB already defined in /home/luka/http/1/forum/index.php on line 2
Missing inc_ file

index.php contains:



I will be greatfull if someone can tell me where i made a mistake

Thanks, Nace

Hello folks, i tried this mod, follow installation, but no luck, i keep getting

(white page) Missing inc_ file

how can i fix this? 

my two installations are clean ,, phpbb2 no mods no users other than admin

i'm using Joomla! 1.0.12  and phpbb2 2.0.22

[xpolhecx]

I just dont understand.

It works on Win XP. On Linux i always get Missing inc_ file error Please help me and JoelMachado 

[mehdi]

@xpolhecx,

On Linux i always get Missing inc_ file

well give your relative path $joomRel .... or even the full config file.
Maybe you written something that only work with XP 
Any anti-slash used ?

@JoelMachado
your problem look similar to xpolhecx... did you tried on a local install too ?
Have you copied all files, , including inc_ ones, in the root of the forum ?
Show me your config file too.

[xpolhecx]

I have copied all 26 .php files to forum root. I wrote relative path $joomRel and dont work

My joomphpbb_conf.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
$joomUrl="http://my_domain/test"; //no trailing slash at the end 
$joomRel= "/home/luka/http/test/"; // relative path from phpbb,unlike previous setting this one should end with a slash
$joomIntegrate = true;
$patternCss="%JOOMPHPBB_STYLESHEET%"; //at least 3 characters, don't enclose in brackets
$integrateCss="subSilverInteg.css";
$defaultCss="subSilver.css";
?>

[mehdi]

hi xpolhecx,
sorry if I was unclear, but I was only asking for the config file of the bridge (you can remove other things, in previous post).
Fortunately you've hidden your password  :P

the relative path  $joomRel you use is wrong, i.e it's not a relative path.
$joomUrl must be url to joomla ... (not forum).
I don't url of your joomla install or phpbb,
but typically when the forum is in a subfolder of joomla,
the relative path is: ../

[xpolhecx]

$joomRel= "/home/luka/http/test/"; // this is path to Joomla and not to forum. I thing its ok, because inside test folder i have folder forum

$joomRel= "../"; // dont work

[mehdi]

hi
as I said, your $joomRel setting is not a relative path, but an absolute one.
Ok let's put an end, give your url to joomla , and the url to phpbb.

[xpolhecx]

URL to Joomla: http://164.8.222.153:2002/test
URL to phpbb http://164.8.222.153:2002/test/forum

[mehdi]

then your settings are:

$joomUrl="http://164.8.222.153:2002/test";
$joomRel="../";

if you are experimenting problems, try to use non "ip like" urls.
describe errors encountered, if any.

[xpolhecx]

I tried this and got the same error:

Notice: Constant JOOM_PHPBB already defined in /home/luka/http/test/forum/index.php on line 2
Missing inc_ file 


I dont understand. I did the same on Win XP. Im certain problem is somewhere in paths 

[mehdi]

hi xpolhecx,
please try with a more "regular" dns, "no ip" like, and more particularly, that doesn't use a "port" inside it.
I don't know why, but the joomphpbb_engine.php file is called twice (which isn't normal).
Did you hacked the component ?
The  component must almost do nothing, just display a tag.

[xpolhecx]

i leave the component untouched. I have IP on joomRel on Win XP and theres no problem. I tried insert my domain

$joomUrl="http://www.prvaliga.net:2002/test"; and dont work 

I'll try set default port 80 in Linux later and try without :2002 addon 

[JoelMachado]

hi all, i triple check my installation, re upload all 26 files but i still get the same problem, the only think i noticed is that my admin panel still work, but not the forum it self, i have linux for my server, my host is powweb.com , how ever my installation of joomla and phpbb or done by me, allso, i tried putting back all the original files and when i do so, the forum seems to work! here is my bridge config file!


I still get the same error

(white page) Missing inc_ file

Code: Select all

<?php
$joomUrl="http://www.gravitazion.com"; //no trailing slash at the end
$joomRel= "../"; // relative path from phpbb,unlike previous setting this one should end with a slash
$joomIntegrate = true;

$patternCss="%JOOMPHPBB_STYLESHEET%"; //at least 3 characters, don't enclose in brackets
