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.

You just take your time and design away - or shall I say "pligg away"

It does not have to bee the same database. As you see in the screenshot for the settings page you can specify a database name and prefix in the first input field.

Thank you for the fast response! I genuinely appreciate it.

I followed the example correctly.

I had renamed my db, and put the new name in, but apparently phpbb was still using my old db. Anyways, I got this straightened out it seems, as I was able to login to phpbb with an account created only through pligg.

Now I have to redo everything else, because I was dumb.

Thanks again!

that means the cookie setting is not working. to resolve the problem, make sure you did 2 things:
1), the setting of cookie, is the same as the setting of cookies on your phpBB.
2), make sure the 3 functions below are not commented out on phpbb_main.php(they are commented out by default):
function phpbb_get_userid($username,$password)
function phpbb_hash_crypt($password, $setting)
function phpbb_hash_encode64($input, $count, &$itoa64)

I have done this, but the module does not create any cookies for phpbb. Anyone figure this out yet? It creates the account in the phpbb database. Just doesn't create any cookies. I've tried in Chrome, IE, and FF on multiple computers.

Thanks.

i'm pretty sure you can't use the same database because when you install pligg and phpbb they add different tables to the db... i would imagine this would cause some conflicts

bump for a fix for the template break when updating your profile

HI, I'm having trouble with this. I think I have everything setup correctly, but it isn't working. What am I doing wrong? Does this mod work phpbb 3.0.6?

[justmailnaveen]

I'm confused about database name

1-insatlled pligg [DB name->'b32_4615096_newpligg'] successfully .

2-installed phpbb3 [DB name->'b32_4615096_phpbb'] successfully .

3-added phpbb module for pligg and activated from ACP successfully .

Now i don't know what credentials to enter into the Phpbb-pligg module .




Q1-should i create new DB,username&password for this module?
or
Q2-should i use the DB credentials which i used for PHPBB insatllion?
or
Q3-should i used the DB credentials which i used for Pligg installation?

&

Is it necessary to use 'root' for Mysql Database User & 'localhost' for Mysql Database Host?
