PHPBBX - trying to understand how to make it work

[scotch33]

Hi,

OK - I have a site with FEU on it and also am running a seperate database version of PHPBB on the same site.  I want to get these working integrated.

having tried with PHPBBX I think that it is teelling me that I need to get both systems working from the same database - is that right?

No if that is the case I have never run two systems from the same Dbase - is the following a good method to get this happening.

1.  backup my old database and pages using the backup feature.
2.  reinstall phpbb but this time give it the same details as the CMSMS database so it adds all its fields into the same central system.  (will it all be ok, and not overwrite anything essential?)
3.  now use the PHPBBX plugin to get the whole thing talking to itself and auto validating FEusers into PHPbb.

Or have I in fact misread what I am supposed to do here?!

Thanks! 

John.

Yes this should work fine, that what I did. As long as you make sure PHPBB uses a different Table prefix then all should be well and they can all coexist in the same database...

ok - i have set up the forum to run in the same database as CMSMS.  the prefix is the standard phpbb_ and the directory is called phpBB2

The code I am using is

{phpbbx tablepref="phpbb_" dir="phpBB2"}

when i try to clickthrough to the forums via phpbbx i get this result...

{nocache:0e06ec328983b5ea7b94f88237fb5dcb#0} Fatal error: Call to undefined function: po_insert_id() in /home/ile01/public_html/plugins/function.phpbbx.php on line 200

Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!
John.

I had this problem too, as a stop gap i changed the offending line to a constant which I know is not exactly correct but it works until I get some sort of resolution to the problem...

Hi there,

A constant?  You've lost me - I am a bit junior with php etc.  Could you explain in more detail what I need to do to get around this?  Thanks!
