This module creates users in PhpBB automatically when they register, synchronizes info when it is changed from the Pligg admin or from the Pligg user's profile and allows user to login automatically to PhpBB when they log in to Pligg. The admin "convert all" feature allows admins to add all Pligg users to PhpBB at once.

There is only one problem for integrating existing PhpBB users:
As soon as passwords are encrypted in Pligg , this feature can't make their PhpBB password same as in Pligg. They can't login to PhpBB with same login/password manually, they can login there from Pligg only, until they go to profile and update their passwords. So you should try to force a password update from Pligg or force them to log in to Pligg every time.

Installation:

1. Upload the phpbb folder (zip attached to this thread) to your /modules folder.
2. Navigate to Admin > Modules and activate the phpbb module.
3. Navigate to the phpbb module settings page (a link is placed on the admin homepage)
4. Enter the database information for phpbb. In the attached image example the database name is pligg_pligg and the prefix used by phpbb is phpbb_
5. Set the cookie name (probably phpbb3_sv889)
6. Hit submit to save your settings. Now when you create a user in Pligg it should become a phpbb user in your forums.

Everyone should thank forum users lpapworth for covering the majority of the ChipIn fund (started on another thread). His financial contribution is what allowed us to develop this module.

I took a look at the files and couldn't make any guesses as to what was going wrong - my php knowledge is pretty thin. Any word back from the freelancer?

I've been on vacation the past week and haven't had a chance to exchange emails. I'll write him tonight to see if he can get a fix in the next week. Since this is a module though it won't be a priority project until after we get a new version of Pligg out. You need to be running the latest SVN anyways to make use of this module.

Hi

This sounds good - am I readin it right though that at present it is not working - ie not writing/synchronising to the phpbb database when someone opens a pligg account?

Thanks.

[Stirling]

fandango,

Finally an official forum module for Pligg+phpBB3.

Does this mod working with Pligg 9.9.5?

[thefandango]

Any news on this or is there really not a forum bridge for pligg?

[Yankidank]

OK, I finally figured out how to get this module working after learning what settings need to be used. I am updating it now so that the settings page will give some examples. So far I have figured out how to get all new Pligg registrations to import into phpbb, but I still don't know how to convert the old ones over. I will continue to follow up on this and have more updates soon.

[Stirling]

Does that mean new registrations is working if I'm using the latest SVN?

[onlinebisnes]

so there is still a bugs with module.
I haven't get them installed to my pligg site but looking forward for the module to be working without any issue.
tq
