phpbb3 Integration

[Larry]

I am just a begginer but I thought I would take a shot at integrating phpbb3. I actually made some progress but there is a conflict with the following two files.

utf8_substr.php
utf8_strlen.php

It seems that phpbb and phpFreeChat both use the same functions.

Any ideas?

Coud you try this patch (in lib/utf8/) ?
If it works for your I will integrate it in the next release.

The patch seems to work. I can now start a session and retrieve the current username with this code.

Code: Select all

<?php

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = 'path'; // See phpbb_root_path documentation
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); // Set the File extension for page-wide usage.
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx); // include the common.php file, this is important, especially for database connects.
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);

 get_username_string ;
echo $user->data [username];

?>

I then changed the nick parameter to this:

Code: Select all

$params["nick"]              = $user->data [username];

But something is still not working.

[Larry]

Oops. Forgot to clear the cache. Its working now.

Thanks a lot for the help!

[phpfreechat]

You are welcomed.
The patch is integrated in 1034 revision and will be available in next release.

[Larry]

Here is the finished file in case someone else wants t use it or correct my errors. Just change the site specific information.

Code: Select all

<?php

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '/home/renegad6/public_html/bb/'; // See phpbb_root_path documentation
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); // Set the File extension for page-wide usage.
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx); // include the common.php file, this is important, especially for database connects.
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

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

 // redirect to phpBB logon page if the user is not logged in
if ($oog == "Anonymous")
   {
      header("Location: http://renegade-cruisers.net/bb/ucp.php?mode=login");
   }
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Renegades";

$params["nick"]              = $user->data [username];
$params["frozen_nick"]    = true;     // do not allow to change the nickname
$params["isadmin"] = false; // just for debug ;)
$params["serverid"] = md5(renegades); // calculate a unique id for this chat
//$params["debug"] = true;
$params["theme_path"]    = dirname(__FILE__)."/themes";
$params["theme"]         = "blune";
$params["channels"] = array("Main Chat");
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

?>

The only problem I have had is that chat crashes if the user logs out of phpbb while in chat, but that is no biggie.

Hi,

I have integrated phpBB3 using the code proposed by Larry.
The inetgaration was done with succes but I have got a display problem :

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mahdia.org/v1/includes/frontend.php on line 94: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

I don't know haw to resolve this problem :'(
for information i'm using joomla 1.0.13.
Thank you in advance for your help.

[Yautja_cetanu]

Same here I'm currently doing

Code: Select all

if ( $params["nick"] == Admin ) { $params["isadmin"] = true; } else { $params["isadmin"] = false; };

which I'm not sure if it actually even works or not!

You have to figure out what group_id you have in phpbb3 (I have 15) and then add this to you index.php in chat somewhere AFTER phpbb3 integration is made and before the line $chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

if ($user->data['group_id'] == 15 ) {
$params["isadmin"] = true;
}

With this line all users belong to administrator group in forum will be administrator in chat as well.

I'm no expert, and not a total dummy either.....but....
I can't get ANY integration script to work at all.

I've tried using most of the scripts here, with the necessary changes to adapt it to my site - but the chat page won't display at all. It works fine when the integration script is taken back out.

I thought it was a simple matter of the paths of the BB and Chat site locations, but I tried every single combination I could think of. The BB and Chat sites are at a peer level:

http://www.webweview.com/vmf2/
http://www.webweview.com/vchat/

It looks like it should be very simple, but like I said, the chat page doesn't even display.

I've tried at least 5 or 6 different scripts, but here's the chat script as it stands now:

<?php

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '/vmf2/'; // See phpbb_root_path documentation
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); // Set the File extension for page-wide usage.
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx); // include the common.php file, this is important, especially for database connects.
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

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

// redirect to phpBB logon page if the user is not logged in
if ($oog == "Anonymous")
{
header("Location: http://www.webweview.com/vmf2/index.php?mode=login");
}

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["title"] = "vmfCHAT";
$params["nick"] = $user->data [username]; // setup the intitial nickname
$params["theme"] = "zilveer";
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

?>

<title>vmfCHAT</title>

<?php $chat->printJavascript(); ?>
<?php $chat->printStyle(); ?>

</head>

<body>
<?php $chat->printChat(); ?>

</body>
</html>


Is there something very fundamental that I'm screwing up?
Thanks.

[remmy]

I still can't get the integration script to work at all.

I copied it exactly as provided on the FAQ page, and renamed the paths, and nick parameter. The chat page will not display at all. Remove the integration script, and voila, I have a chat site again.

At first I thought that maybe the zilveer theme was somehow causing a problem - but it doesn't work when using the default theme either. Any thoughts from anyone?
I won't use the chat if I can't get the integration to work.

Thank you and Happy New Year!
