@Maglok

have you tried doing this:

define('FORUM_ROOT_PATH', '/path/to/your/phpbb3/installation/');
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : FORUM_ROOT_PATH; 

To clear things up, do you have a successful installation of PHPBB3 running on the server?
If so, the forum path is in the config.php file of the forum installation directory.

What you quoted is the basic, but I still need to put in the url then.

Yes I have a successful phpbb3 running. http://www.symbols-larp.com/phplarp/phpBB3.

The config file does not have the forum installation directory, it has this:

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'CENSOR';
$dbuser = 'CENSOR';
$dbpasswd = 'CENSOR';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

update: Could it be that CI is tripping over the fact the server runs PHP 4.4.9 and does some get_instance?

Did you get it to work Maglok? I’m having the same problem.. I installed the forum at http://www.mydomain.com/forums (this is actually a subdomain, so - forums.mydomain.com). My CI based site is at the root - http://www.mydomain.com I’ve .set FORUM_ROOT_PATH to ‘forums/’ and I get:

You are not logged-in.

(I am using the test code found in the Wiki.)

Any idea’s?

Thanks!

I actually have access to php5 now.

Not working just yet:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare redirect() (previously declared in /home/content/85/5336885/html/test/system/helpers/url_helper.php:530) in /home/content/85/5336885/html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 2439 

Apparantly the url_helper and the forum functions.php both have a function redirect(). Crap. Will keep posted.

It does at least instance now, which would be php5 at work. *Goes back to figgling*

To fix that problem you have to open forum_functions.php and search for

function redirect( ... )
{
....
} 

Once you find that replace add this around the function.

if( ! function_exists('redirect') )
{
    // Original Function
    function redirect( ... )
    {
        ....
    }
    // End of Original Function
}

Well yes. Here’s a thing though: Let’s say I have a Controller in which I use the CI redirect(), but the page also has a login box which will redirect you back to this page using the forum redirect(), thus needing access to both, no?

Yes/no, I do believe the ci function works the same as the forum one. I have not opened up the file for awhile to check but rarely will you have to use the forum redirect when integrating with the website. I have done this before and did not run into any problems.

Alright thanks for the tip. I will try to work around it like that. Let’s see now *cracks knuckles*

EDIT: Seems to work so far. The issue now is that the forum is in a 2nd database and the library uses $this->CI->db to approach the database, while normally I’d use $this->db_forum->something from controllers.

I can imagine people use the forum db as a 2nd db more often.

Try this, Enter your Forum Admin Control Panel, go to the general tab then server configuration under that you will see cookie settings enter into that section and chance Cookie Domain to your root domain so instead of forum.yourdomain.com its yourdomain.com and it should work after re-logging in. If not let me know maybe a few other settings may have to be modified.

Note: make sure the cookie path is also set to /

This is annoying: CI’s libraries do not load databases in the same way as Controllers do.

In a MY_Controller I load the forum database as:


$this->db_forum = $this->load->database('forum', TRUE);

So that in the controller I can use it with $this->db_forum->something.

But in the library they talk to the database as $this->CI->db->something. How do I use the db_forum database? This only uses the application database (which is preloaded by default).

EDIT: I loaded the database in the library, kind of sloppy, but could also add it to a config file and use that. Regardless now it works. Gonna toy around with it, looks neat so far.

A quick idea for the library maker you should make a configuration option to allow a Database Library to be passed to the class and if its not passed or a vaild databse object then use the default database?

Thank you very much. Worked like a charm!
