Phpbb..... forum integration issues

[sillywabbit]

Hi guys,...

Just when I thought I had it working...... its not... LOL.

I have installed the forum....... it appears to have integrated into the database, as when a new member registers on the dolphin site,.. they are also showing as a new member on the forum.
However..... when I log into the dolphin site as that new, confirmed, and activated member.... and then click the forum link in the member's menu.... I am taken to the forum..... But not logged in as that particular member. It shows the member as registered..... but is not performing the "auto-login" that should occur with the integration.

Anyone have any suggestion? Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks,
Ann

Did you carry out the "disable member registrations" mod in phpbb? If you don't do this mod, users will need to log into phpbb as well as into your dating site. If you didn't do it, you can search for the link for it in modmysite, or find the mod in the phpbb mods forum.

No..... I havent done that mod yet.....

I will get on it..... and hopefully that will do the trick!!

Thanks,
Ann

Hi.....

Does anyone know where I might find this mod?
I have hunted here on MMS..... and only found this thread where Smoge mentions the mod...
How do you add phpbb to dolphin ?

I have hunted in the mods at phpbb.com........ and I am at a loss.

Any direction much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ann

I have a question on mine. I did the registration stopper mod and all the new profiles that are created after the ones that are already there, get logged in just fine.

If I log in with a profile that is pre-phpbb i get this message

You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.

Click Here to try again

Click Here to return to the Index


and it doesn't recognize the username. I have compared and refreshed my module several times, and the ones that don't work are listed under the compare section. Even dolpin admin, doens't work.

Is there a way to make my profiles work with the newly installed phpbb?


Here is the link to the mod. http://http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/vi...er=asc&start=0

Ann,

This file will stop registration.

registrationstopper_101a.zip


Just follow the instructions. The only thing I have found, I still have to log into phpBB. I haven't tracked that problem yet.

ArnMan, you need to go into Manage Modules in your admin panel, if you have not done so. You then need to upload the phpbb.aemod which is located in the modules directory of Dolphin/GPLDate. When you are done, click refresh. The one thing I found here, is that it brought my admin accounts which are not actually Dolphin accounts into the database, I just deleted them in the mySQL. You MAY need to remove the users you added after or you will probably have errors. But, not sure. I have run refresh by mistake after the first time, and just readded the admin accounts.

Good luck,

John

Thanks so much John....

Do you mean that the members still have to login to the phpbb too? The autologin doesnt work at all? Or is it just the admin that you still have to login as the admin?

Thanks,
Ann

Well I have already uploaded the aemod file for phpbb and done the refresh. I edited the files for the regestration stopper. Every test profile I made after I installed the forum, I have been able to enter the forum, logged and everything. The profile and admin profile, that I had before the forum, aren't able to log into it. I get the

You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.

error message.
Do I need to go into the database and remove that profile and readd it in dolphin?

[sillywabbit]

Oh boy....

Well..... I dont have much experience with the database or phpmyadmin.
I have been into phpmyadmin....... and ran the files to load the databases..... But that is about the extent of my knowledge there.

Could someone please tell me what this means and what I am supposed to do with this:

#-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------
#
INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('registrations_accept', '1');

I am good with the rest of it......

Thanks,
Ann

Well when you get in phpmyadmin and log into your database. click on the sql button right above your list of tables on the left side. usually the 3rd from the left
and in the window there is a window field that you copy and paste the

INSERT INTO `phpbb_config` VALUES ('registrations_accept', '1');

into and press ok. and it will add that value to the table

I am working if I need to remove my profile out of phpmyadmin and readdd it in dolphin to get it to be recongized in phpbb
