Hey,
It's very easy to get simple integration with phpBB3... But I'm needing something a bit more than that and I'm having real issues. It may be that some things aren't even possible, but I don't know... The documentation is a little bit bitty and I'm having problems finding out exactly what params do what etc.
Sorry if that sounds negative, I love what you've done, it's really nice and slick. It's the only opensource chatroom of it's standard that I can find and I love the way it's set up for integration. I'm just having a few problems
Firstly... Is there any command I can run from my php file to clear the cache. I'm constantly getting loads of grief with cache not clearing properly etc and if I could just run a 'rehash' function from the php file I'm running it all from, that would be a huge help!!
Secondly, I'm having problems setting up the administration stuff. Usernames are not a problem, but how can I set up admins on the fly? phpBB3 already has all the permission stuff sorted, so what I'd like to do is when a user connects, check phpBB3's permissions to see if they're an admin and if so give them administrative permissions. From what I can see, the params['isadmin'] should do that, but it's not working for some reason. It's just not making me an admin. Am I wrong in my understanding of the 'isadmin' param?
This one I'm not sure if it's possible. I get the frozen channels and channels parameters. Is there any way to set some kind of permission on a channel? Can frozen channels be changed on the fly (on a user by user basis)? Or are they in the cache and therefore global between users? If they are local to the user, then those permissions are fine. If they're global, is there any way to create a room which only some people can access? Also, if frozen channels are local, if you don't set the parameter for say an admin, they'd be able to create channels dynamically. Would people who are already in with the frozen channel parameter set be able to access those channels?
On a similar vein... Is it possible to make people admins for specific channels only?
Is it possible to disable private chats?
Thanks
Andrew
