phpBB Connector V1.0.2 Beta now available

so upping the timeout threshold didnt help, although it changed the behavior.

Before, i would click the link, it would pop up the gui page and they both would change to 'Page cannot be found'.

Now only the pop up window says that, the main page goes back to the plug in list like it's supposed to.


What will happen to the database if I uninstall and reinstall the connector component?

it's supposed to keep the login across both screens...

That's what I thought. Am I missing something?

did you change the sessions file? it hink we still have to edit that

I followed this instruction:

Modify lines 419-421 by adding ‘ around $user_id on line 421
• ORIGINAL
• AND session_user_id = $user_id";
• MODIFIED
• AND session_user_id = '$user_id'";


*****Nevermind. I just went through the above process again, and now it seems to work.

Thanks for your help!

campersedge/custmguru,

for the login to work the users must have a valid cb_phpbbid. (in jos_comprofiler... also visible on phpBB tab in edit profile or backend). This can be set in the admin side or by the import of users.

Only things needed for the login to work... forum directory specificed correctly (pointing to extension.inc and common.php files... and the user to have a valid phpbbid... then the connector call's phpbb's own code to start the session.

Can't remember if you or cusmguru asked... but uninstalling and reinstalling should not do anything strange to the database. The only 'addition' to the database is the field cb_phpbbid that is placed in jos_comprofiler... also any previously defined phpbbid's will stay between an uninstall and reinstall...

If your up to php coding you can open the phpbbgui.php file and comment out some of the tabs to see what is happening... you can tweak the function showControlPanel (near line 598) half way through the function you should see several lines of code after // show tabs... each line creates a seperate tab... Assuming you are still trying to import... comment our showMatchedTab and showCBexportTab... see if that helps...

The sessions file does have to be modified but I think you will get a visible error if you don't.
