I wants to integrate in site (using amember). Please tell where i will get plugins for PHPbb and how to integrate it.
After ordering amember, you have an account- go to your customer page in amember, and you can order the plugin on that page. David
How to intergrate phpbb and amember So, I've been searching for the last 30 minutes trying to find out how to intergate phpBB ? Is there anywhere that explains what you have to do ? I must be blind because I can't see it anywhere in the manual Do I just install both and it magically works ? I've got the plugin already but surely I need to link the Amember Database up with the phpBB one ..
1. Copy the plugin to amember\plugins\protect 2. Enable in Amember Admin Control Panel -> Setup/Configuration -> Plugin 3. Configure in Amember Admin Control Panel -> Setup/Configuration -> PHPBB If I recall correctly, there is additional information on the bottom of the PHPBB config page which describes what/how to get it going.
Php bb Thank you for your reply, this might seem like a silly question. But step 1, Do I have to put my entire phpBB forum into amember\plugins\protect ? Steps 2 and 3 I'm ok with it's just the initial basic stuff. Yes amember does have some info on the setup plugins page, but its fairly useless info. All I kind of want is . You put your forum here, and link it up like this.
No, this is where you place the plugin. You place phpbb into is own directory, like yoursite.com/forum Heres a demo: http://amember-phpbb.com/ David
haha, sorry guys . A blonde moment I didn't even realise I had to download the plugin I thought it would just activate itself. Fingers crossed it should all be installed by the end of today
Day 2 - Some success. Ok, So here's where I'm at. Nothing against Amember but you would think there would be a step by step installation guide in the manual or FAQ for one of their plugins that they sell ? I've search the whole site and manual and found no actual step by step instructions. I've created the forum on the website http://www.biddingbuzzfranchise.co.uk/amember/franchise/forum It's a band new forum, linked to the database youwon_ukforum I've installed the plugin at http://www.biddingbuzzfranchise.co.uk/amember/plugins/protect. Read the readme file, it says that I need to 1. Enable plugin in aMember Admin CP -> Setup -> Plugins from Protect Plugins list 2. Go to aMember CP -> Setup -> phpBB3 and configure it. (Note: 'Cookie Name' setting can be found in 'cache/data_global.php' file, find 'cookie_name' string and copy value right after '=>') 3. Go to aMember CP -> Manage Products -> edit and set correspoding "phpBB3 access" and "phpBB3 additional access" group. 4. To transfer your active members to phpBB3, click aMember CP -> Rebuild Db Now I wouldn' have a clue what my phpbb Board Db and Prefix name is ? It says leave it blank however I get the error message phpbb Board Db and Prefix - incorrect value. Error: SELECT command denied to user 'youwon_ukamemb'@'localhost' for table 'usersusers' I changed this to youwon_ukforum however got the same message ? If there's any other info I need to post just let me know.
UPDATE : Ok so after some browsing and googling I've moved along the path. I've put in the correct phpBB board db and prefix and thats all good. So that brings me to the next problem When I click save, it comes up with this "phpBB Plugin Error: Unknown column 'group_single_user' in 'where clause'WARNING: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/youwon/public_html/biddingbuzzfranchise.co.uk/amember/plugins/protect/phpbb/config.inc.php:119) in line 322 of file setup.php" A quick google search brings me to this page http://www.amember.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6671 Where it looks like there is a problem with phpBB3 ? That thread above doesn't say it was ever fixed ? Now when I try rebuild the database it says this MYSQL ERROR:<br />Unknown column 'user_active' in 'field list'<br />in query:<br />SELECT username, if(user_active, 1, '') FROM youwon_ukforum.phpbb_users
Was this ever resolved? We are considering purchasing aMember for use with PHPBB, but this has us scared...
aMember will integrate with phpbb3. Cant say why others have had problems- I've integrated a number of sites without a problem. Heres a demo: http://amember-phpbb.com/ David
This was resolved via the support system Great bunch of guys. He changed something with the plugin and sent me new files, then this fixed the problem.
