I've deleted now the whole code from joomphpbb_engine2.php:



And its working now!

Hi Kazal,

Just a short question, if allowed:
phpbb&joomla bridged with your script work great, except one small issue:

Suppose you log in into joomla front-end and enable "Remember me" function. You then end the session (close browser/reboot,etc.). By restarting the browser and coming back to the joomla front-end you are allready logged in, because of the above enabled function of "Remember me". Now if you click on the forum link, you are still logged in in Joomla but not logged in phpbb. If you click the LogIn link in phpbb, you are redirected to the !!!logout!!! page in joomla. The only way to login in phpbb is to logout from joomla, get back to the forum, click the login link, get redirected to the joomla login page, login and automaticly the browser returns you to the phpbb index page, with you beeing authenticated.

This is a little odd for visitors that enable the "Remember me" function. Is there any way around this ?

Before the bridging, both phpbb and joomla (latest versions) worked perfect as stand-alone applications, this issue appeared just after the bridging and is clearly a authentication / session problem.

I would appreciate any tipps you think I should try ! Or is this a known bug ?

Thanks !

Hi @Orvo300SE ;
I am not facing this kinds of problem.In my projects it works fine in "remember me" function. I am not clear about your Login module. Is it a "Joomla default login module" or "CB login module"? Are you using CB in your project?
Most of my projects are using CB(Community Builder). So i am using "CB login" module and its "remember me" function works successfully?
You can do some testing to resolve this bugs:
1) Clean your Browser cache and start your proses.
OR
2) Test for using CB.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.
I am not using CB, just the plain default Joomla login module. And I have tried all methods of clearing the cache, even in joomla, in phpbb, in my browser, etc. I went even so far that I created a new user and tried out the auth issue with a new browser - so that there's no chance of old cookies or saved seesions ... But the problem is the same.

I will give it a try with the CB login method - thanks for the tip.

Now I'm facing a different problem ... after all went fine, except the auth issue, I played a little bit with several session settings in the joomla cpanel, like: Apc, Database or None. Now I cannot log into phpbb whatsoever, no matter what session saving type I choose from joomla. The error is "infinite loop". I tries changing the bridge running mode, from full integration to stand-alone. This gets rid of the loop error, but i cannot log into the phpbb because of the login_module still being joomla_module. Could you tell me in which table of the database this setting is stored in, so that I could maybe manually (via phpmyadmin) restore it to default ?

PS: I'm not sure what could have caused this loop error, as it was working fine so far. No interventions on the mysql or mods have been applied since ... strange ...

Thank you again for your support !

I've got same problem as most of you with the loop thingy.
There's nothing wrong in my local site without CB that is.
I'll try to setup on local and test CB + mehdi's bridge

EDIT:

There's nothing wrong with CB + mehdi's bridge

Solution:

Extensions > Module Manager > CB Login (or Whatever you named it to)

Check whether you use login redirection, esp. redirecting it to your forum.

In my case, my forum is under http://www.mysite.com/forum and joomla is http://www.mysite.com/
Note: Add forum on your menu as External Link but restrict it to only viewable/accessible to registered users.

In login redirection I put forum/index.php.
and in logout redirection I just set it to my index.

Works for me.


Hope this helps.

I got this loop error too and the solution for me was to delete everything in phpBB's cache (except for .htaccess and index.htm).

one of the reason is the PHPBB cache folder is not writable..

face the same problem and after chmod it, it worked.

Dear @ixiel >>>>>>>>

Are you clear all cache folder include .htaccess file and permition cache folder?
& for this solve loop error???

yes.. after chmod it works.. but now i face a new problem..

whenever i tried to login to Administrator Control Panel i got this error msg:

Error: The current page seems to be called from phpbb's root.
Hence the value of phpbbCurFolder must be root.

any idea how to troubleshoot this?

my joomla site is at ://mysite.co.cc
my forum is at ://forum.mysite.co.cc

how to change this??:

now i get this in my ://forum.mysite.co.cc page

Edit: Nevermind, I fixed my problem by reuploading all the hacked files (some of them were blank or corrupted). Thank you Mehdi for this wonderful mod and your helpful instructions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My visual integration works fine, but I can't log into the forum...

This is a new install of Joomla and phpbb, no other mods have been added and there are no users except my admin account and a fresh account I made after installing the bridge. My joomla and phpbb tables in MySQL have custom table prefixes, not the default ones.

For the admin account, I made sure my username and username_clean were the same in PHPBB, and my Joomla username is the same also. I have the same password in phpbb and in Joomla. My joomphpbb_bridge table does link the two admin account id's correctly, but I inserted my userid's manually. I did not run the quickmerge script. For the fresh account, I just created it through the Joomla Registration, and did nothing else.

The Authentication method I chose in the phpbb admin panel is "Joomla15". In joomphpbb_conf2.php I set $joomIntegrate = 3. The phpbb bridge component is installed.

In both cases, when I'm logged in on Joomla (which is at http://mysite.com/), if I click the forum link I get a blank screen stuck at http://mysite.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=lo ... tion=login . If I'm not logged in the forum shows up fine. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thank you so much for your help! I'm having the infinite loop problem. Here's some of my info:

Your SQL query has been executed successfully ( Query took 0.0428 sec )
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `joomphpbb_bridge` (
`assoc_id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`joom_id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
`phpbb_id` MEDIUMINT( 8 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `assoc_id` )
) TYPE = MYISAM AUTO_INCREMENT =1;

I chmoded my cache directory to be writable.

If I change the directory from $joomUrl="http://uwwchess.isgreat.org/"; to $joomUrl="http://uwwchess.isgreat.org/administrator/"; the page goes from Joomla and the phpBB forum in the content area to just my menu links (no joomla) and the phpBB. When I try logging in I get.
404 - An error has occurred.

Component Not Found

So I think I did step 5 right, when I go back and change the joomphpbb_conf2.php to just "http://uwwchess.isgreat.org" But on step 6 when I log into my forum, I get the infinite loop problem. My CB Bridge or whatever is not in my Joomla Extensions Modules page, so maybe that's a hint as to the problem? Thank you again for your help!

got this when opening my phpbb



no brains here, so i need some help

Hi, I think this is the best joomla bridge for phpbb.

I'm working with visual integration and my bridge is working almost perfect,but when I enter to register "registrarse" (Sorry is in spanish ), The Joomla header and footer disappears, It only happen with the register. What could be happening?. Here is the link of my website: http://guiabiomedica.com/foro

Thanks for all the help.

Hey there folks,

I'm trying to install the Mehdi's Phpbb THREE bridge and I'm having some problems.
I am following the step by step instructions on the creator's website : http://www.mehdiplugins.com/misc/phpbbjoom.htm

I am having problems with step 4.


When I copy the files from the "Hacked" folder to my phpbb3 root folder and I refresh my phpbb3 forum, I get a blank page. That's a problem, because in step 6 it sais : "If you haven't done any major mistake yet, the forum should now behaves exactly as if nothing was bridged."

I also did step 5, but I stell get a blank page.

I am using
- localhost with MAMP on Mac Os x.
- Latest Joomla Version
- phpBB 3.07 PL1

Anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!

I was having exactly the same problem and your solution works for me too! Thanks!!

This code has been added as a security measure, by applying restriction to anything that isn't expected. Also this is supposed to help user , by making him aware that something hasn't be done properly. Now I don't know why it wouldn't work for everyone.

I'm not sure either, and it doesn't occur consistently (which makes it difficult to troubleshoot). A refresh usually fixes makes the error go away.
I went back into the code and commented out only line 109 instead:


Commenting out the whole block of code that rascar mentioned caused a different error to be thrown when previewing templates in the PHP backend. As far as I know it's now working perfectly.

What this code does exactly, is compare the path of calling script (faq.php , search.php etc ...)
with the path of joomphpbb_engine2.php script. It checks if the script joomphpbb_engine2.php is called either from same folder, or from a subfolder. Because all hacked files ( that I call substitutes on my hack instructions) , are either in the same folder as joomphpbb_engine2.php, or in a subfolder.

Later, the bridge check if joomphpbb_engine2.php need to be called from a subfolder, or forum's root according to $phpbbCurFolder value.

Can I use community builder profiles instead of the standard phpbb profiles?

Hi, I have this error:
"Error: The current page seems to be called from phpbb's root.
Hence the value of phpbbCurFolder must be root."
What i should do?

for people with URL like below are are having problem with the realitive path Adjust accordingly

FTP yoursite/htdocs
URL http://www.yourURL.com
Forum URL http://www.yourURL.com/Forum

Make sure you realitive path in "joomphpbb_conf2.php" is like so...

$joomRel= "..//"; // relative path from phpbb

this fixed it for me^^^
