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.

Changelog:

Version 0.11
- Removed a test file from templates directory
- Fixed an error in phpbb_main.php

Version 0.10
- Release of module

[azzam]

As the required donation of integrating pligg with phpbb3 is completed

Will it be release with pligg version 1 or not?

Because its great to integrate two best script in one

The release is this thread. You will need to be using the latest SVN (or the upcoming 1.0 release) to use this module though. After you install 1.0 you need to download the attached files from the original post for this thread and install the module.

Great mod. Thanks for doing this.
I do get this error message when trying to go in to configure my phpbb db info though:

Fatal error: TPL: [in line 0]: syntax error: file '/admin/admin.tpl' does not exist in /{my path}/class.template.php on line 923

Try reading post 3

Thank you, that was it.

For the configuration field "MySql Database and Prefix:" what is the entry format? Is it database_prefix?

Basically it's just asking for your database name. Often database names are forced to have a prefix. For example one of my sites requires the prefix "eric_" ahead of each database name so my Pligg database name "pligg" would be "eric_pligg".
Experiment with the fields, I assume you will figure out the correct settings quickly.
I still have to test out this module myself, I don't have a phpbb site to test out and hired a freelancer to produce this module for Pligg. Any feedback if you get it working would be appreciated just so that I know that it works fine.

[Stirling]

I've tried some different configurations with no success. I'm not getting an error messages, just no update of the user tables in phpBB.

I've got a clean install of Pligg and phpbb 3.0. If you'd like to use my setup to test out this mod for yourself let me know and I'll pm you the details.

The new admin panel looks great btw.

[Yankidank]

I just tried this module out for the first time last night on my local machine. I can confirm that all of the configurations that I could think of weren't resulting in any shared usernames. I'll have to get the freelancer who wrote this to either provide me with some documentation or fix whatever it is that isn't allowing it to work for me.

Thanks for the comment on the new admin panel, took me a while to design it.
