Hi,

I get at weird error when I try to use the admin pannel for phpBB Connector plugin for Community Builder.

Every time i click the link, the window popps up with the right link (to phpbbgui.php) but imidiatly redirects to the normal Joomla login screen... Think it's related to the session handling, but it workes like a charm everywhere else... The connector seem to as it should with everything else...

Any thoughts?

If it is redirecting than it is a session issue... It checks to make sure an admin session is started before opening the form...

I am guessing that you have a session started so send me some info on your server setup (including Joomla, CB, phpbb versions) so we can figure out why your setup it not working right...

Greg

Hope this is enough...

Joomla 1.0.8
Community Builder 1.0
Php connector Version 1.0.2 BETA

I am wondering if this is a SAFE MODE issue... Do you have any problems using the admin side of Joomla... i.e. same error when using other things in the admin side?

The other possibility is the change in sessions that I think happened in Joomla 1.0.8... I will dig into the admin side sessions on Joomla 1.0.8... quick look seems like they changed index2.php (in admin) so I need to track down where they moved the code to so I can compare it...

Greg

They did move the code around for checking sessions but it doesn't look like much of a difference other than making it easier for me now...

Only issue I see addressed in the new code is that multiple users can be logged on for a demo site in the new code... the old code checks for exactly 1 session with that user. (might check your sessions db and see if it is messed up as well)

Also I checked one of my localhost test sites... it uses Joomla 1.0.8 as well and does not have an issue with running the 1.0.3 code... sessions stuff has not changed since 1.0.2

So assuming that the admin side works normally I am leaning towards a safe mode issue but that is just a guess.

You could try changing line 76 in phpbbgui from

if ($database->getNumRows( $result ) != 1) {
TO
if ($database->getNumRows( $result ) == 0) {

to see if that helps... workaround should have similar results to the newer joomla check allowing multiple users with same login for demo sites.

If that doesn't fix it let me know... we will probably have to dig in further.
