The Joomla! Forum ™

I downloaded and installed Mehdi's phpBB3 bridge tonight and am having an issue.

When I configure joomphpbb_conf2.php with the proper values


I get the following value when trying to access my forum


If I change the code to:


Then when accessing my forums I get the following returned to me


So I believe the component is installed properly but it is rejecting my provided relative path.

The path to my Joomla install is http://www.stiltz.net/ and my phpbb3 install is at http://www.stiltz.net/forum .
My relative path of my forum to my joomla install is ".." or "../" if you're a stickler. I've tried both with the same result. Has anyone seen this or able to provide some insight to help me out?

Versions:
Joomla 1.5.10
phpBB 3.04
PHP 5.2.9

EDIT::: Now I'm getting the following error



Thanks
-=StIlTz=-

I have the exact same setup as you...
on my local mashine with wamp i have my joomla in http://localhost/sitename/
and my phpbb forum is in http://localhost/sitename/forum

my relative path is "../" and i got it to work fine exept i got an error saying i
had an undefined variable in "joomphpbb_engine2"
(i fixed this by defining the variable in the top of the file"

but just wanted to let you know that your path is correct

Cheers and god luck...

Have you Found Solution on your last problem ??


I have the same issue Please post what need to be done


Thanks

If your joomla installation is in like this http://www.yourdomainname.com/joomla
and your forum installation is in http://www.yourdomainname.com/joomla/phpbb3/

then your "joomphpbb_conf2.php" would be like the following

$joomUrl="http://www.yourdomainname.com/joomla"; <note: no slash @ the end>
$joomRel= "../"; // relative path from phpbb
$joomQS="option=com_phpbb&Itemid=0"; //you might want to override the Itemid
//----------------------------------------------------------
$joomSql="joomphpbb_bridge"; //don't touch unless you know what you are doing

hi,
the error


is covered by the FAQ:

Anyone know how to simply echo the current page link for mehdis phpbb3 with sef enabled ?

I need to echo the link on the bottom of the template but apparently there is no way of doing this.

@Umbungo

@kazal
1) ensure phpbb3 is working properly , before bridging it.
2) assuming that joomla work at:
http://mysite.com/joomla/
and phpbb at:
http://mysite.com/joomla/phpbb/

then the bridge configuration file must contain:


good luck

@mehdi all are configuration file perfect.Also perfect all bridging.Only facing this error in ACP login page.Right now it's work perfect in Localhost.

@kazal,
according to your error, there's a problem with the phpbb file, "includes/functions.php"
at line 2086, while calling the php function parse_url.

I checked this file, and the parse_url is not called at line 2086.
Either you've hacked this file, then please use original version,
or you use an old phpbb version, then please update to version 3.05

Also ensure you use latest bridge version as this might help.

Can you help me how to upgrade my phpBB 3.04 (function.php) file to latest bridge version 3.05.
I am using
{
Joomla 1.5.10
phpBB 3.04
bridge version "joomphpbb2-bridge"
}
Is this clear?
You can mail to me at
kazal@evatix.com

I'm happy you've finally managed to upgrade phpbb yourself.
I don't have everyday the patience to answer basic question like this, sorry.
You 're problem was probably because of a mismatch between the hacked files
and your phpbb version.

Most of the site i manage forum by "Firebord Component" .It works nice and manage very simple.This time i am using phpBB first.Hopefully next time help to others.I am modify some of your bridge file.
Thanks

hi kazel,
I was travelling ... I never tried sef for phpbb3 with my bridge.
You can use regular sef for joomla.
For phpbb, I guess there's a patch for this.
With my bridge you apply patch to inc_ files instead of regular one.

You might try sef for phpbb without bridge first , to ensure it work properly.
good luck

@mehdi ;;
Thanks for reply.
I am tried it hardly.In joomla forum site it is not sef "phpBB".Are you noticed ?
If you never mind where from you and your email address please!!!!
I am from Bangladesh.

Your English is a bit hard to decrypt.
You can find my mail address, by searching my bridge on JED (joomla extension directory).

I'm having a bit of bother with this bridge. Creating a website etc to teach myself more advanced php to pick up as I go along.

in before n00b alert!

When I installed it like this:

"www.mysitename.com/Joomla" - For Joomla
"www.mysitename.com/phpBB3 - For Forum

I got everything working fine... although when i typed in "www.mysitename.com" it brings up "Index of/
/Joomla
/phpBB3"
Could you tell me if there is a way to get my Joomla site frontpage to appear when i type in "www.mysitename.com" instead of the "/index of" page coming up? I tried installing joomla to the "/www" root folder but it brought up the index of page only with all the joomla directories like "administrator" and "components"

I now have it like this:

"www.mysitename.com/Joomla" - for Joomla
"www.mysitename.com/Joomla/Forum - for Forum

(Still getting the index of page when I type in "www.mysitename.com")

I know how to install it fine up until step 6 of this guide:
Click Here

I'm getting the old "Error: Infinite login loop intercepted.Try to click here, do not refresh." message. But the problem is, all config files are fine, everything is set up fine. It logs me out of my ACP of phpBB before I get a chance to finish the installation. The FAQ section of Mehdi's site isn't very helpful, it tells me what I already know... I didn't get a chance to change the authentication method. When I try to log in to the forums again it keeps givin me the infinite login loop error :\

L337 Joomla users welcome ITT

@BelterBeats
Bro are you used latest joomla & latest version of phpBB ?

Can anyone help with this please?

I have a site with Joomla 1.5.9 installed at the root (http://www.thetrackdayclub.com) and have just installed phpbb3 in a sub folder 'forum' (http://www.thetrackdayclub.com/forum)...

During the installation of phpbb3 all went perfectly OK, all system requirement tests passed (server is Linux, Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix), PERL version 5.8.8, PHP version 5.2.6, MySQL version 4.1.22-standard-log; all folders have the correct permissions. The forum worked fine...

The forum worked fine as in, http://www.thetrackdayclub.com/forum opened the phpbb forum...

So went on to install the bridge following instructions on Mehdi's site...

- Check usernames: yes, admin same for Joomla and phpbb3 - no other phpbb users
- Create joomphpbb_bridge table: yes, ran the script provided in phpMyAdmin - successful
- Install joomla component: yes, installed via Joomla backend - successful
- Phbb hacks: yes, overwrote all files and folders in the root of the phpbb3 installation (/forum)

At this point the Forum stopped working! Now http://www.thetrackdayclub.com/forum opens a blank white page! There is no error message but there is no content and the source file is empty ('view>page source'), the source code window opens and there is nothing in it whatsoever!

I went to the next step just to if it would have any effect:

- Edit configuration of bridge , then copy:
<?php
//0 no integration
//1 visual integration
//2 user integration
//3 visual & user integration

$joomIntegrate = 0;
$joomUrl="http://www.thetrackdayclub.com";
$joomRel= "../"; // relative path from phpbb
$joomQS="option=com_phpbb&Itemid=0"; //you might want to override the Itemid
//----------------------------------------------------------
$joomSql="joomphpbb_bridge"; //don't touch unless you know what you are doing

saved and then overwrote the files as per instructions... made no difference!

I really need to get this working ASAP/URGENTLY... any suggestions?

Cheers!

PS:

Oh also... the phpbb3 admin panel is accessible but has appeared to have lost style! :s http://thetrackdayclub.com/forum/adm/in ... ff739d&i=1

I don't know whether it matters but I already have Fireboard installed in the Joomla site (to be removed when phpbb3 is working), and therefore have legacy mode enabled.

Are you clear about your integration problem?
Are you bridge joomla user and total integration now working?
Please clear your problem?

Was that in response to my post? If so I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't know what the problem is, I have installed everything as directed by the instructions and now it's not working.

Edited: Ah! I see you registered on my website!

What I want is for the phpbb3 forum to run preferably as a stand alone forum from the folder it is in (not displayed in the Joomla template), but with Joomla / Community Builder controlling user registration/access. Without the bridge installed the forum was working, but with it installed the forum doesn't work!

@timarnold
Oh tnx,Now i am clear about your problem.I am review your site.I think make sure all steps of phpBB integration you can success.If any problem i can help you.
<--
$joomIntegrate = 3;(This is integration point)
$joomUrl="http://www.thetrackdayclub.com";
$joomRel= "../"; // relative path from phpbb
$joomQS="option=com_phpbb&Itemid=0";
-->
