Using phpbb3 username for phpchat login name. Help.

[dazamate]

Hi there,

I am building a membership site which is built around the phpbb3 login system. Once a user is logged into phpbb3 then they can access all members area only pages, one will be the chat room.

So I want to auto login with the phpbb3 user name....

I can't seem to get the login hook to read my chatname variable and I've gone as far as using sessions.

Here is where i am at...

Code: Select all

//stores the current logged in username into the session chatname variable
$_SESSION['chatname'] = $user->data['username'];


Then I go to the config.php file.

at the top I do a

Code: Select all

 session_start();

then...

Code: Select all

$GLOBALS['pfc_hooks']['pfc.before.auth'][5] = function ($app, $req, $res,) {
   return function () use ($app, $req, $res,)
      {
      var_dump ($_SESSION['chatname']);
      return ($_SESSION['chatname']);
      
   };
};

When go to the chatroom page, nothing comes up for the var_dump and the chat room is blank and does not ask for a login.

Any thoughts to why this isn't working?

To avoid PHP conflicts between your code and phpfreechat one, have a look to this example of phpbb3 integration:
