phpbb3 Integration

[Bieneke]

[edit]
I got it to work, no idea how. I just tried it over and over again. I am using Larry's file. Thanks![]
[/edit]

I cannot get the integration script to work either. I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/blabla/public_html/html/dutch/chat/index.php on line 8

I used the script in the FAQ, I took an integral copy of Larry's file (and adjusted only the website specific values) and I keep getting the same error. Does anyone know what I do wrong?

Well finally, by mere luck, I got it to work also.
I used Larry's "finished" script.

For me, the path to the phpBB root had to be
"../forum/" (replace forum with your folder name)

I thought that since both chat and forum were at peer levels, the leading periods weren't necessary. And I tried so many variations of the path name, I'm pretty sure I tried this before, and it didn't work.

ANYWAY, it's working now.

Now I want to bring over the Admin status from phpBB. So I have some more experimenting to do.

How do I make the redirect work?

ucp.php?mode=login?redirect=../chat/index.php

That would be it right? My chat is at xxx.xxx.xxx/chat and forum at xxx.xxx.xxx/forum why is phpBB trowing in sid? Now apache tells me it just cant find the file :s

Code: Select all

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '../forum/';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

get_username_string ;
$oog = $user->data [username];

if ($oog == "Anonymous") header("Location: http://xxx.xxx.xxx/forum/ucp.php?mode=login?redirect=../chat/index.php");

Why is this NOT redirecting?

The requested URL /index.php&sid=10fb2d1dc22018ec98561584e8f59086 was not found on this server.

http://xxx.xxx.xxx/forum/ucp.php?mode=l ... 95faa2ed62



What am I overlooking?



/edit: Im such a retard!

Watch me use ? instead of & ... sorry :p

So i am not understanding the problem here,, when you set it to redirect if not logged in all goes just fine till the actual redirect back to the chat page,, it goes to the right place only the url string has this extra feild on it

Code: Select all

index.php&sid=9957437d2d0dc5536bc98bbcd5c334a0

because of this it fails to open the chat index, is this some sort of cookie session that is being used and not allowing it to connect? any advise would be great, here is my index page code

Code: Select all

<?php


define("IN_PHPBB", true);
$phpbb_root_path = "../"; //Root to phpBB

$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, "."), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . "common." . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

get_username_string ;
$oog = $user->data ['username'];

if ($oog == "Anonymous")
    {
      header("Location: ../ucp.php?mode=login&redirect=/../chat/index.php");
    }


if ($user->data['is_registered'])
    {
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);
    $sql = "SELECT u.user_id, u.group_id, u.user_avatar, u.user_avatar_type, u.user_avatar_width, u.user_avatar_height, u.username, u.user_rank, u.user_colour
    FROM " . USERS_TABLE . ' AS u
    WHERE u.user_id = ' . $user->data['user_id'];
               
    $result = $db->sql_query($sql,300);

    $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);

   
    $avatar_img = get_user_avatar($row['user_avatar'], $row['user_avatar_type'], $row['user_avatar_width'], $row['user_avatar_height'], '',true);   
    $username_trim = (strlen($row['username']) > 9) ? substr($row['username'],0,9) . ".." : $row['username'];
    $u_profile    = get_username_string('full', $row['user_id'], $username_trim, $row['user_colour']);
                           
    $params["nickmeta"] = array(
        'avatar'=> '<img src=' . $avatar_img .'>',
        'profile'=> $u_profile,
        //'profile'=>'<a href="memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2">test</a>',
        ); // additional values
   
   
    $db->sql_freeresult($result);
    }
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Welcome to The Station Built by the Bands for the Fans!";
$params["theme"] = "default";
$params["frozen_nick"]    = false;
$params["max_msg"] = 20;
$params["max_nick_len"] = 20;
$params["nick"] = $user->data ['username'];
$params["channels"] = array('Group Gathering');

if ($user->data['group_id'] == 5)
{ $params["isadmin"] = true; }

if ($user->data['group_id'] == 8)
{ $params["isadmin"] = true; }

$params["serverid"] = md5('IRRChat');
$params["skip_proxies"] = array('censor','noflood');
$params["shownotice"] = 4;
$params["debug"] = false;
//$params['nickmeta']['avatar']  = sprintf('<img src="%s" alt="" />',$u_profile);
$params['nickmeta']['avatar']  = sprintf('<img src="%s" alt="" />',$_SESSION['user_avatar'].$avatar_img);
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

because of this it fails to open the chat index, is this some sort of cookie session that is being used and not allowing it to connect? any advise would be great, here is my index page code

The sid is added by phpBB's ucp.php after a successful login and shouldn't cause a problem - I get the same appended sid after integrating via phpbb myself without any problems.

Is that your complete index.php page? Where's the $chat->printChat() statement? You won't see anything without that

[DreadPirateVane]

no that is just my parameters and phpbb stuff,, i do get the chat to print up just fine,, it is just the redirect after login that i have the problem,, if the just click the chat lin all is fine,, but i would rather it redirect directly to the chat, hence my problem with that sid,, and it changes each time so,, u got me....

Anyone had any luck with this integration lately?
I've tried a bit, with a clean install of PFC 1.3 running on PHP 5.3.3. I have a chat, now I want to connect it with phpBB 3.0.8. but when I try to visit the chat after doing the changes suggested by Larry I'm unable to access it. Tried a lot of different things, like changing root folder from "../forum/" to full path "/var/www/forum/" and many many more.

Before posting more info, I just want to know; Is this still the best way of doing things? The method in the FAQ did not seem to work at all, that's why I'm trying this one.

Hopefully someone will write a updated enty in FAQ soon.

I have had luck with it. I didn't really use the tutorial since it didn't work too well. I have a few bugs to fix but I have got it to redirect to login url if not logged in, automatically make you a chat admin if you have the admin or mod permissions, and nickname integration of course.

[OldWolf]

Try this one, I think this was the one I got working for my site:
http://www.phpfreechat.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2266

[SSamiK]

Thank you!
Your help is much obliged.

[OldWolf]

Did that work? I'd like to sticky it so I don't lose it again.

[SSamiK]

So far I've gotten the login and redirect to work, but something is making the chat not load. It stays at "Chat loading ...
Please wait" forever. I saw someone in the other tread had a simlar problem but no solution. I'm trying to work it out now.

[SSamiK]

Got it working. A little typo and/or forgot to rehash. Thanks again.
