Hi,

sorry, but I must be missing something, hope u can help

Ive installed Joombla, and wanted to integrate my forum to it, and I found PHPBB Plugin-Connector... and so done and installed. Users moved too.

But here comes my questions:)
How do I make a link in the menu in joombla that opens the forum integrated, and not in a new page?

And a problem I have also, when Im logged in at joombla, and for example, when I click on an post of an user, I must log in again at the forum?

hope u can help me with this

my website: www.cotnguild.net/site
my forum: www.cotnguild.net/forum

Assuming the user is sync'd and the plugin is published the user should be logged into the forum when they log into Joomla. The plain v1.0.2 (without patches) will have an issue with "remember me" logins being remembered... There is a patch for that available here ( forge.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewRelease/projects.phpbb_connector/frs.phpbb_connector_patches.version_1_0_2 )

Other than that it could be a cookie issue. In the next release it will also tag the SID along with the URL to further help with the issue. But in general there should be no issue if cookies are working properly.

As far as the integration... there is no visual integration besides of the wrapper... I have developed a specialized version of the wrapper for the next version to allow having wrapper links in the user profile (difficult to do in standard wrapper as each link must have a db record... i.e. 1 for each post is a bunch of db entries)... Will also need to make sure that the wrapper will work in future J1.5 release... (Don't think the beta had the wrapper in there)...

So logins should work... visual integration is more difficult.

hope this helps,
Greg

thanks

How do I use the patch? Overwrite the files in ftp program?
