#######################################################
## Title: Joomla1.5 User Bridge for phpBB3.0
## Author: IOsetting
## Description:
##      Integrate phpBB3 with Joomla1.5
## Version: 1.1 (Build 20080207)
##
## Installation Level: Easy
## Installation Time: 10 Minutes
## Download
## Demo
#######################################################

BEFORE INSTALL:
1. This bridge can handle one database only, which means your joomla and phpBB3 should be installed in the same database.


phpBB3:

1. COPY /phpbb_files/includes/auth/auth_db.php TO /includes/auth/auth_db.php
2. COPY /phpbb_files/includes/auth/helper.php TO /includes/auth/helper.php
3. OPEN
    /includes/auth/auth_db.php
    FIND
    jos_users
    REPLACE WITH
   


Joomla1.5:

1. COPY /libraries/phpbbtools TO /libraries/phpbbtools
2. COPY /adminstrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_user_phpbb3.ini TO /adminstrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_user_phpbb3.ini
3. Install the plugin in folder /plugins/user
4. Modify the 'phpbb db prefix' property of 'User-phpbb3' in Plugin Manager, it's 'phpbb_' by default
5. Enable 'User-phpbb3', disable 'User - Joomla!' in Plugin Manager.


Joomla style rhuk_milkyway for phpBB3:

1. COPY /phpbb_files/styles/prosilver/templateoverall_header.php, overall_footer.php TO /styles/prosilver/template
2. COPY /phpbb_files/styles/prosilver/theme/*.css TO /styles/prosilver/theme/
3. COPY /phpbb_files/styles/prosilver/theme/images/* TO /styles/prosilver/theme/images/
4. OPEN /styles/prosilver/theme/common.css
    FIND AND DELETE
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
   
    ADD following lines at the end of common.css:
    #page-header, #page-body, #page-footer {
margin: 0 21px 0px 21px;
background: #fff;
width: auto;
    }
    SAVE and CLOSE
   
    OPEN /styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css
    FIND AND DELETE
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
   
    SAVE and CLOSE, then refresh the prosilver theme in your phpbb ACP

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in this forum

The demo is here
In this demo, two applications are both using the user name and password from joomla.(I think it's better let phpBB be sync with Joomla)

1. When you create joomla account, you will get an "Object id #124" error. It's a bug of joomla 1.5RC3. Don't worry about it.
2. Before you test the login/logout sync feature, you need log on phpBB once.

3. Login/logout joomla will also login/logout phpBB(after you finish step2), while login/logout phpBB won't affect joomla.

I read the readme file in this simple bridge. There is one thing that I can't understand.

The author asks to replace some strings in the original sql file with

Quote:
CHARACTER SET `utf8` COLLATE `utf8_bin`


why utf8_bin ? why not utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci ?

Thanks.

This bridge now supports Joomla1.5 stable and phpBB3.0.0
The installation is more easier.

For some reason, part of the forum is outside of the main border, does anybody know what to tweak, to get it inside.

See image...

Figured out what it was. I never cleared the cache.

In the ACP, go to Styles -> Themes -> then click on 'refresh' on the right side.

After I did that, everything works like a charm.

Download is dead? When I click to download the file, I get a "Server Timed Out" issue.

Also, has the admin problem been fixed?

*Added* There we go, after refreshing a bunch, finally got the download started.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I know which table has my users listed?

Would it be jos_comprofiler_members? if it's not jos_user

I'm not Too Familiar with the inside workings of Mysql

So... Before doing this, does PHPBB3 and Joomla have to be installed already?
