phpbb3

With phpbb3.1 it appears they have disabled more superglobals. I have tried passing a variable between using sessions, but have had no success. $_SESSION['example'] = 'example'; $example = $_SESSION['example']; Nothing is stored because nothing is there due to phpbb disabling superglobals. What's the next best and most secure way to pass variables in between pages? I'm not sure if $_SESSION is included, but try phpBBs request class... $example = $request->variable('example',''); Docs for the class are here - https://wiki.phpbb.com/PhpBB3.1/RFC/Request_class You might want to take a look at

I am trying to integrate Forum Feeds of a PHPBB3 Forum into an external Frontpage. For this I'm using an example from the phpbbwiki : here is the code My problem is that this only works if the user is authenticated on the forum allready, but I would like the user to see topics that are open to guest users, instead of a PHPBB default (blank-)page. In this case I am using ajax to return topics in JSON, but this should not really matter for my problem here. It would be good to know if this is achievable within the scope of what PHPBB is able to deliver and where to start looking if this is a more

I'm attempting to create a new forum on an existing forum. I can create the new forum quite easily and view it from the admin console. The problem is I need it to show up at the front end as well for users. This is done via permissions. What I am attempting to do therefore is copy the permissions of the parent forum (which is public) to the forum I create. However the forum still doesn't appear to be showing up on the public facing side. Here's my code (please note the phpBB include files have been loaded previously): // $forum_name = name of the new forum // $parent_id = the forum which this

Recently I have started implementing a solution which will use a PhPbb database for forms authorization, I have used the class from this below thread: PhPbb C# Authentication Port So i wrote a membership provider using this class in the 'ValidateUser' function: public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) { ForumsDataContext db = Root.ForumsDataContext; PhPbbCryptoServiceProvider phpbbCrypt = new PhPbbCryptoServiceProvider(); string remoteHash = db.Users.Where(u => u.UserName == username).FirstOrDefault().UserPassword; if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(remoteHash)) return false;

I have a website that runs for around 2-3 years before, it has its own forum, however, recently I would like to use the phpbb3 to replace that forum. I encounter the problem when I need to do integration . To be precise, I have an existing database that have fields designed for my own website. What I would like to do is the old user do not need to register again and can login to the phpbb forum, using every functions it provided (e.g. check profile) . Are there any way to implement such conversion? So far I have got some source code to check login, but there are a lots of works should be done

I've integrated a phpbb3 forum to my already existing website. I've been able to make my registration process add the user to the phpbb db as well. Now i'm facing a problem where I am trying to get the user to auto-login to the forum when he logs in to my website. Have anyone here done that? I can't find anything relevant on Google as all posts seem to talk about 'phpbb external webpages' and how you can use phpbb sessions on other webpages. however what i'm trying to do is to initiate a login only when the member logs in to my website, and following the tutorials i found on google will let my
