hi all,
sorry for the long absence.
Couldn't edit original post unfortunately....
Anyway:
3 march 2008
little PM notification box bug fixed.
You've probably never noticed that if you are using a popup blocker ;)


@PlayGod & bluecubbies4me,
shouldn't be that hard to hack the files, but anyway the pre-hacked files for 2.0.23 are available

Do you know how I can change that default behaviour? Since they don't register through phpBB, but instead register through Joomla, and the bridge is then creating the new phpBB user account, where would I change that default behavior? There are no similar settings in Joomla that are being copied, so it must be something in phpBB.

The bridge doesn't set these settings for each created users.
Try to edit structure of the phpbb_users table, with the help of phpmyadmin.
There's two columns in that table called user_viewemail & user_notify.
Change their default value to 0 (again, while browsing structure with phpmyadmin).
See if that fixes your problem.

Worked like a charm! Thank you.

And thank you for such great bridges (I am using the Coppermine one also)

Hi Mehdi and all other happy users of his bridge!

I decided to give your app a try and had no problems with the installation... I only have a charset question... :-[

I have been using phpbb for a few years and now decided to integrate the forum into the organisations webpage. The thing is, now I guess there is a confusion with the charset tags on the page. For the phpbb i've been using the "windows-1250" charset, but since my webpage uses the "utf-8" the forums don't show the local characters right (i've changed the language files to utf).

Is there an option within PhpBB I should change?

You can check the forum at http://www.vesl-klub-ljubljanica.si/forum/

great if you already using utf8 for joomla (warning: the bridge is not for Joomla 1.5 !)
Basically you must convert your phpbb install to support utf8 i.e convert language files & database....
You may ask for assistance, in official phpbb forum for this.
You can unbridge before (restore original files),
so that bridge won't interfere when asking for support .

First I need to thank you for the fast reply.

Second: My Joomla instalation is 1.0.15. The thing is that the posts are showing just right, so I guess there is no need to edit the DB. I tried to change the language files to UTF but everytime I do it there is no visible change.

Okay, thanks. I'll try on the phpBB forums...

is this just to bridge the databases or will it also allow visual integration? I don't want to use a wrapper because joomla's wrapper is worthless and won't auto resize.

also, where do i download this from?

This does both visual & database ( or database only, if you prefer).
See extension directory for link.
I advise you experiment with the bridge first in a local install ...(using XAMPP for instance).

do you have an example? I'm extremely interested because I have a joomla site that is going through a renovation currently. We are desperately in need of an integrated forum.

i've found a couple db bridges, but how does integrate visually?

Mehdi's bridge is perfect. You enjoy all phpbb sweets independently of joomla and the look is totally css oriented. you'll just need to edit the template files a bit (extract the css code in a separate file).

kind regards...

Mehdi!

One more question regarding binding CB and phpbb... In your hacks page you say:
Quote:
Now replace the "edit user profile" link, from the core Joomla:
/index.php?option=com_user&task=UserDetails
by the CB's one:
/index.php?option=com_comprofiler


I am wondering where can I find the "edit user profile" link...

I have moved my Joomla! and phpBB sites to a new server but for some or other reason the bridging does not work anymore. I can login to Joomla! and when clicking my phpBB link it takes me to phpBB but still just shows me that I need to login. It is as if it does not know I just logged in. I have checked joomphpbb_conf.php to make sure all the settings are correct. What am I missing?

Is there a way to unbridge phpBB so that I can log in without using Joomla! just untill I get everything sorted?

Got it sorted out!!

Had to change the following: Include www as subdomain in the Joomla! config files, in joomphpbb_conf.php and the following 2 values in the php_config table in the database: cookie_domain and server_domain

Hi Mehdi,

I've had some users report a strange problem on my site. When they register in Joomla, they put in one username and it stays that way in Joomla but a different username is binded to them in phpBB. I am using the phpBB 2.0.xx and Joomla 1.0.xx version of your mod btw. For example, a user registered on Joomla with the username SpaceChick23. However, when she went to the forum, her username shows up as JCAllison and her email address on the forum is different as well. I checked and there's no such user JCAllison in the Joomla or phpBB database; it appears to have been created out of thin air! I tried registering a test account myself and it works fine for me, retaining my entered username when I go to the forum. Any ideas on why this bizarre error is occuring?

Thanks,

Garibaldi

Hi all.

Could really use a little advice here!

Yesterday I installed the bridge (after a day of problems in other areas that I fixed one at a time!)

The bridge seemed to be working fine late yesterday, however today it has become apparent that all is not well.

I have bridged Joomla with phpbb and all LOOKS ok. I have removed the login boxes in phpbb so that all logins/logouts go through Joomla com_login.

HOWEVER.

If I click on com_login and log in, I am redirected to the joomla homepage. If I try to access the forums when logged in it still redirects to the Joomla homepage but with an address of

co.uk/login.php?login=true&sid=9f5302b765e7707ed7cb9aa9460b172e

I can access the forums when NOT logged in fine.

Could any of you shed any light on this? I am on msn messenger if you can can help as sitewonders@hotmail.co.uk

If i have to pay to get this fixed I will, main thing is its urgent!

Many Thanks!

Gary

but when i was still use the 1.0.12 version it works well...

in 1.0.15 version
this messages appear...:

Could not insert data into users table

DEBUG MODE

INSERT INTO phpbb_users (user_id, username, user_regdate, user_password, user_email, user_active) VALUES (7, 'kates', 1208416040, '990cdcdd96ce86a9b3bcf3ee58819380:ogsZj9B6wdUEWsKH', 'kates@yahoo.com', 1 )

sorry 4 my stupidity...

finaly i found the answer...

after i check my database tabel... there is a different structure between jos_users table and phpbb_users table

the length of password character...

in jos_users .... password is (varchar,100)
in phpbb_users.... password is (varchar,32)

so joomphpbb_engine.php can't insert into tabel phpbb_users where encrypted password length is more than 32 char..

so i think the problem is caused by the encrypt proccess that create encrypt char longer than 32 char...

so it would be better if we match the varchar length for password field...

how ever... thank u guys...

thanks a lot to mehdi...


regards

try this... hope could help...

set your $mosConfig_live_site in configuration.php file in your joomla site folder
Code:
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com';

set your $joomUrl in your joomphpbb_config.php on your forum folder
Code:
$joomUrl="http://www.yoursite.com";

then
make 'link to url' menu from your joomla admin control panel...
which the link its like..:
Code:
link: phpbb/

or
Code:
link: http://www.yoursite.com/phpbb/


note : "phpbb" is name of folder where your phpbb file stored...

look in to your phpbb configuration on phpbb control panel...

login to your phpbb forum as admin.. goto phpbb control panel...

goto General Admin ----> Configuration

set Domain name
so its like
Code:
Domain Name :   www.yoursite.com

note: without "http://"

then set Script path : /phpbb/
its like
Code:
Script path :   /phpbb/



note : "phpbb" is name of folder where your phpbb file stored...


thats all i know.... hope it works n could help u...

but its still not... i'm so sorry...

please, any one can help???

hi,
well sorry for all,
it's almost one month I didn't post any answer :D
I don't have the courage nor the time to answer every post, hence I'll answer only to last posts (some people might already gave up anyway).

@ mr_freak
thanks for finding bug and fixing at the same time the problem relative to passwords.
viewtopic.php?f=216&t=284965
I just updated the joomphpbb_engine.php script to bypass that problem (more details later)

Quote:

well, I guess each time you post a message , phpbb is trying to mail users to notify them.
But for any reason the mailing fail.

@maxilious
well, answer of mr_freak seems accurate, I 'll just summarize it :

mr_freak wrote:

goto General Admin ----> Configuration

set Domain name
so its like
Code:
Domain Name :   www.yoursite.com

note: without "http://"

At least that's where I suspect the problem. (feel free to apply other advices provided by mr_freak)

minor fix relative to password. (problem explained: viewtopic.php?f=216&t=284965)
What I do is truncate password to 32 chars max before copying them to phpbb users table.
The fact is that these "salted" passwords are not even used in phpbb side ...
Then why do I even bother to copy them in phpbb user table ?
Because I **might** provide one day a hack that would allow
phpbb after unbridging to use these passwords.
