CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello cmsmsler,

1st a bigbig thanks for all your effort and for this great cms-system. I was in irc there several times and always saw very nice people which were really helpful and friendly. This way it's real great to work with a cms-system, i'm happy i found it and you

but ontopic:
System: Apache 1.3.29 with php 4.4.4 and mysql 4.1.21 at debian

-I installed latest cmsms (1.0.2) into / (root of domain)
-I installed latest phpbb2 (2.0.21) into /forum , removed /forum/install and /forum/contrib
-database is the same, prefix is pn_phpbb_ for the forum and cms_ for cmsms

So everything is untouched and works as it should, i can create pages, upload stuff and all these things. Also the forum works (i can access the example-forums and -topics)

Now i want to embed the forum into the page, I installed the function.phpbbx.php it into /plugins of cmsms and created a page with the content But if I access the "page" with the tag, it only refreshes to the /forum - directory.
I enabled the logging, following message appears in the logfile: "User not registered in the FE module. Going to forum without login.".

The phpbbx-function itself tries to embed it (the ...........[TITLEOFPAGE] is displayed for a short time), but then he redirects to the /forum-directory without any cmsms-embedding.

I would really be happy if someone could explain me how to get this phpbbx-thingy to work, please.
If you need additional informations, please tell me. This can only be a small error on my side?!

thx and sincerly,
3dc

There is a known issue with phpbbx and a solution described here:

However this doesn't seem to be your case.
Can you elaborate on the following sentence?
"But if I access the "page" with the tag, it only refreshes to the /forum - directory."

Hi, great you found the time to take a look at this post, super

You're right, this is not a problem.

Can you elaborate on the following sentence?
"But if I access the "page" with the tag, it only refreshes to the /forum - directory."

Sure, i can explain it.

i do not use a WYSIWYG-Editor, just plain html.

I clicked on content -> pages -> add new content
Content type: Content
Title is "Forum"
Menu Text is "Forum"
Parent: none
Template: Left simple navigation + 1 column
Content: {phpbbx tablepref="pn_phpbb_" dir="forum"}

Now a new menu-entry appears on the homepage, called "Forum".
The link-adress of this new entry is as follows: http://mydomain.net/index.php?page=forum

everything normal. Now i click on the link and i see it loading up to the step where the embedding of the forum should start, -please look at the attached screenshot-, then it relocates me to http://mydomain.net/forum , where i installed the phpbb2.

Hope this is explained a bit more clearly

Now i dont know what to do anymore, maybe you, the programmer of this helpful plugin, can help me.

Thank you in advance, and as ever:
If you need additional informations, please tell me. I'm willing to write thousands of pages of explanations to get this plugin worked, i really need it. thx!

I don't know what is happening there, your setup procedure seems to be ok.  But, so that you are aware, phpbbx doesn't embed the forum, it simply redirects you to the forum page.

It would be great if you could give me access to your web site and admin area so I could investigate your situation.

Yes, i thought it would embed the phpbb... umm, sorry
... also thought it because it's something i saw on this page here... embedding a forum into cmsms. i know, SMF is running here, but i thought someone would have done a plugin for the most-widely-used BB, phpbb. Also i couldnt find any other phpbb-related-plugins than yours in "the forge". This cannot be

Ok, so there is no way to "embed" a phpbb2 into cmsms with all the "framework" from cmsms outside the forum? iframes are an evil solution to this imho.

Sorry for wasting your time and my confusing explanations/english,
but hope you understand what i mean now
