I've got our main (aMember) membership site set up at: http://members.mysite.com I've got our phpBB3 forums set up at: http://forums.mysite.com I've purchased the phpBB3 plug in, installed it, activated it, configured it, adjusted cookie settings (cookie domain and cookie value), set database permissions, etc. but no matter what I do, I am never logged into forums when I've already logged into the member area. I can manually log into the forums using an account found in our membership (aMember) site, but am never auto-logged in. Seems the only thing I haven't tested is whether this works across different subdomains. Does anyone know?
I've changed everything from http://forum.mysite.com to http://members.mysite.com/forum and it's now working. So, bottom line for everyone out there: No, it does not appear that aMember and phpBB3 work across multiple subdomains or domains.
I had really good out of the box experience with the phpBB3 plugin....there are some "intricacies" to phpBB3 that the plug-in doesn't address that can be tweaked if needed/wanted but, imo, it is far from horrible.
