phpBB problem

[nf71]

I tried to integrate phpBB, but now when I login to the reviewpost the login works (says login succesful...) but then it doesn´t actually work -> The login link is still there and I cannot make reviews or go to admin.

How can I fix this or remove the integration if I cannot login as a admin?

Just sounds to me like cookies arent aligned or you did not upload the new phpbb2.php file

There is no issue I can see looking at the file.

When logging in see if a cookie is being set and if so what variables.

Well I have the latest version of reviewpost installed.

Is there any step by step manual on what to change (what files etc.) when using a forum registration?

Also would be very good to know how to get back to normal reviewpost user handling. Somehow I must get into the admin and now it is impossible :-(

How do I do that?

[Chuck S]

Well what did you do?

What exactly did you change to try and do integration with phpbb that might help me help you.

Basically you need to use phpmyadmin at this point and dive into the database settings table and change entries 41 83 171-173 to the correct variables that they should be depending on whether your trying to do a standalone or integrated setup.

If I follow right you had a standalone and tried to integrate with phpbb. You can do as I post above or if you state the exact steps you did I may be able to assist further

Yes I had a standalone and I´m trying to set up for the phpBB.

Ok, I get into the tables via phpmyadmin and the problem seems to be here. User registration says reviewpost. If using phpBB what exactly should I write here? What are the settings for the other tables?

[Chuck S]

To change integrations well its like this

You point to the user database in the config-inc.php file for user database settings

IN phpmyadmin you do this

setting 41 phpbb2
setting 83 is table prefix usually phpbb_
setting 171 /
setting 172 phpbb2mysql
setting 173 blank

That should get you integrated with a normal phpbb2 install

[nf71]

I managed to change these:

setting 41 phpbb2
setting 83 is table prefix usually phpbb_

and the login works.

You point to the user database in the config-inc.php file for user database settings

Hmm...I should ad or change what?

And in what table are these? They were not in the same table as 41 and 83 above.

setting 171 /
setting 172 phpbb2mysql
setting 173 blank

[Chuck S]

well this is reviewpost try around setting 212-214 or so

The cookie settings if your trying to have an integrated login with phpbb you might want to set those

[nf71]

I think I got this right, but when logged in as admin for phpbb I have no admin rights to reviewpost and when logged in as normal user I cannot do a review.

Where should I start looking?

And question 2. If I want to go back to the reviewpost standalone what should I then do?

[Chuck S]

Look at your reviewpost usergroups table

Make sure there is only one insert for admin which is groupid 5 now change that to groupid 2 and delete every other group. You should now be logged in as admin and can refresh your usergroups in the reviewpost admin panel

Seems to work - thanks again!

I am having login issues that I suspect are cookie related as well and have the settings right. In reviewing past threads here for clues, I found this one.

What phpbb2.php file are you refering to???

[Chuck S]

This is a very old thread.

I would suggest both your applications are set cookie wise like this

cookie path /
cookie prefix phpbb2mysql
cookie domain .domain.com
