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.

So... is there any definitive guide on how to make this work? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hitting a brick wall myself, people are saying it can work in different DBs... but there's no real word on if the information can go from one to the other... at least, reading the thread it seems that way.

On the main Admin page, near the bottom. Click phpBB Module. Do not go into Module Management.

Okay, so I've not yet gotten this working 100% correctly.

Creating an account in Pligg creates an account in phpBB.
Changing a password in Pligg changes the password in phpBB.

Logging into Pligg does not log into phpBB.

Using IE8, I cleared all my cookies, then logged into Pligg. This generated a cookie for the forum.
I cleared the cookies again, and then logged directly into phpBB. This generated a cookie for the forum.

Here is a comparison of the two cookies:

Generated by Pligg:

It seems like the Pligg module is generating an incomplete cookie.

function phpbb_hash_encode64($input, $count, &$itoa64)

I've also already done this.

Never used this module personally but I can tell that you are using Pligg 1.0.3 on http://hogblog.org even though your profile here says you are using Pligg 1.0.4
This module clearly says Designed for: Pligg 1.0.1
So your first problem might be that the registration and login are different.

in most cases (cms) it seems you can use plug ins for versions in the same build so is 1.0.1 not the same as 1.0.4 as long as its not 1.0.0 or 2. or what ever.

and I thought the download link on the front page when i downloaded this script said says 1.0.4 i guess i might be wrong.
--
went back and looked at my install package and i clearly installed 1.0.4 onto the server.

where did you see 1.0.3?

anyway, so can i use this module. it installs perfectly just cant get a clear understanding of the configuration. do i use the same database for both pligg and phpbb? etc...

Any news on this module?
Does it work with 1.04 and also I read a lot of opinions of people that couldnt make it work.
