HELP!!!HELP!!!

I am sure it is the correct complete path as

define ('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home1/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/');

but the link in sideboxes is
http://www.xxxxxx.comforums/index.php

why missing a "/" between com and forums???
Thanks for your help!!!

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Check your configure.php file. Make sure you have all of the slashes in there correctly.
check line #51

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/xxxxx/public_html/cart/');

Make sure that final slash is there. You already said the forum link has it, so....

EDIT -
note, the /cart/ folder is where my cart is, yours may be dfferent or it may just be at /public_html/.

Hi Ripper,


You are very nice! Thanks!
I do everything you told me...but it doesn't work!

define ('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home1/xxxxxx/public_html/');
define ('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home1/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/');

The above path are correct, zen-cart regonised my phpbb but the link in main page just missing a slash...
Should I modify information.php in includes/modules/sideboxes/?
Thanks a lot!!! X'Mas!!!


Best wishes,

That's weird.
I'd make the link a static link, for now until a solution can be worked out.
Comment out all of the PHPBB lines in cart/includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/information.php (should be lines 28-32) and add this under them

 $information[] = '<a href="path_to_forum/index.php">Forum</a>';

[Ripper]

Sorry, I should give you the exact line of code. Change "path_to_forum" to "../forums"
Like this:

$information[] = '<a href="../forums/index.php">Forum</a>';

Hi Ripper,

It works!!! ::tup Thank you very much!!!
By the way, I want this too:

That is so much easier than the 3rd party download in my case. The cart is going to be the home page for the entire site, so I don't have to worry about linking back through the forum to a specific folder or any of the other concerns. It works perfectly just as it is, with the one target change.
Thanks again.

and any chance combine the login table too? Login once, cart and forum.
Thanks.

Best wishes,
GnotgonK

Not yet. The cart uses the e-mail address as the username, PHPBB has an actual "username". I'm sure there's a way to make it work, but I haven't had the time to figure it out yet.

I can't make mine work...

never prompts for a forum name...

I used the path in DIR_FS_CATALOG, and also the path that works with OTHER php software (bbclone)

The line reads as:

 define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/kaleco/public_html/phpbb2/');

Where, /home/kaleco/public_html/phpbb2/ is the path for my PHPBB.
