phpbb integration

[King Moonraiser]

Regarding the sample from King Moonraiser.

I feel like I'm missing something. It seemed to work at first, but then the chat directory overwrote my forum directory in the links... so everything (style, login name, etc.) is trying to find items under the 'phpfreechat' folder.

So, thinks I, I'll take out that index file, and try to put it back in... now it's looking for everything under a filestructure that seems to be based on repetition of my user name. (Note: I didn't change anything except go back to the original index.php file and verify the chat was working without the code changes, then try to replace the modified index.php from the sample here.)

Is there a text file somewhere I need to blow away to get back to a clean setup? Is this my browser blowing up? Do I need to call it a day and look at this later?

TIA

What's the URL to your forum and what's the URL to your chat?

[Yautja_cetanu]

kiki you've changed the phpbb "script" path instead of the "cookie" path.

Hey thanks for this great Mod,

I've installed this successfully on my board, and it has been well received by the members,

you can test it out here:

http://www.bengaliforums.co.uk/forum/index.php

and click Chatroom (BETA) on the top Nav

username: phpfreechat
password: demo

I've also integrated the number of users online.

---

A Big big request, and I will be willing to attempt this if you can point me in the right direction.

At the moment the way the integration is done, only phpbb members can access the chatroom.

Can a channel on the chatroom be opened up for non-members?

So the idea is two have two channels:
1. Members only
2. Public

Phpbb members are allowed access to both channels.
Public members can only see the public channel.

Access URL will ideally be different for Public members.

Many thanks again.

[Yautja_cetanu]

Yeah We've been looking at this. Is it possible to have different access rules for different rooms?

[itshee]

I followed the King Moonraiser code above but it didn't work to me. I got a message saying that

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_pagestart()

What did I do wrong.

My chat is at
http://itshee.com/6tub1/chat/

My phpBB is at
http://itshee.com/6tub1/webboard/

I changed the code as listed below

Code: Select all

$phpbb_folder_name = 'webboard';
$phpfreechat_folder_name = 'chat';

[itshee]

Got it now. I use phpBB3.

Error: 'chat.js.tpl.php' could not be found, please check your themepath 'C:wampwwwdeschatchatsrc/../themes' and your theme 'myphpbb2' are correct

where is this error generating from, ive almost got phpbb integrated.

i had to move my chat to refelct the std dir structure

/forum
/chat


deschat/chat was my old dir structure.
This error comes up after i open the chat and login, the path is:
http://localhost/chat/index.php?sid=75b ... c5ae4268be

Thanks for your posts, it has really been helpful

I started a separate topic on problems with phpBB3 integration here: http://www.phpfreechat.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2266

[alexey_mos]

I found some troubleshooting here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... n#p3458715

Still I can't make the thing work.

Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem with IE: when I login or logout it redirects me to http://www.mydomain.com/phpfreechat/ind ... 0de2bd41de but I have a wrong operation message.
If I refresh it appears correctly.
Any clue?

thanks in advance

you need to include common.php

[install3845]

Some minor updates to make integration a little smoother.

Step 1: Movie the cookie location in the phpBB administrator.

In phpBB, log in as administrator, go to "General Admin," "Configuration," scroll down to "Cookie Settings." Change the cookie path to "/". You may need to delete all of your cookies to ensure the change registers in your browser.

Step 2: Install PHPFREECHAT.

See the website for instructions on how to install. Remember to install it in a directory peer to your forum. For example, if your forum is located at http://www.website.com/phpbb, then install phpfreechat at http://www.website.com/phpfreechat

Step 3: Replace the index.php file for PHPFREECHAT.

I came up with this replacement to the standard index.php file that comes with phpfreechat. You need to modify the $phpbb_folder_name and $phpfreechat_folder_name variables to reflect your actual directory names for phpbb and phpfreechat. Also, edit the title, channel name(s), and any censored words you wish to block.

I designed it to use the subSilver CSS file. Feel free to experiment with your forum's own CSS file. Sorry, I don't know how to get the page to use whatever template stylesheet the user has in their control panel settings.

This sounds like what I want to do, but I keep getting this error:

Warning: main(): Failed opening '../phpBB3/extension.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/webroot/html/chat/index.php on line 13

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_pagestart() in /home/content/webroot/html/chat/index.php on line 16

Cookie path is / in phpBB

Line 13 is include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
Line 16 is $userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

Anyone have an idea?

[drevv]

already tried to delete the cache folder?

[install3845]

Yeah, I think what it was is that phpBB3 doesn't use that file anymore.

[MarkHoward]

I have a problem integrating with phpBB3.
I'm testing locally and have directly under .htdocs
NZMotorhomeForum - which is the root folder for the forum and
NZMotorhomeChat - the phpFreeChat folder

My code is as follows:

Code: Select all

  define('IN_PHPBB', true);
  $phpbb_folder_name = 'NZMotorhomeForum';
  $phpfreechat_folder_name = 'NZMotorhomeChat';
 
  $phpbb_root_path = '../'.Sphpbb_folder_name.'/'; // adjust this path to your forum installation root
  include( $phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc' );
  include( $phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx );
 
  $userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
  init_userprefs($userdata);
 
  // redirect to phpBB logon page if the user is not logged in
  if ( !$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
    redirect(append_sid($phpbb_root_path . "login.$phpEx?redirect=" . $chat_root_phpbbrealtive_path . "index.$phpEx", true));

and the error messages are:

Code: Select all

I have searched for a file called extension.inc and cannot find one in the Xampp (localhost) folder structure.
I hope someone can give me some pointers - I'm not a php programmer.
BTW the cookie location in phpBB3 is set to /
