2 issues with phpBB install

[duiwel]

Hello,

Using;

phpbb: 3.0.8
zencart: v1.3.9h

website: www.deejstuff.com


Issue 1:

Forum 'Nickname' field not appearing in customer registration, and when I register it doesn't create a new user.

I followed instructions found in this (older) post;

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12050

I have the 'Enable phpbb linkage' set to true.

I have tried various syntax for the define('DIR_WS_PHPBB' field.

It is currently;

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/deejstuf/public_html/forum/');

I have had it set as just /forum/ as well.

(( My FS_Catalog is set to: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/deejstuf/public_html/'); ))




Some of my Zen Cart install is customized (I did not construct this site personally, my wife did for this particular client, but she assures me none of the areas having to do with the registration fields have been changed. I think the only things that were really modded were the navbars and the CSS in general).





Issue 2:

Clearly the top item is much more important, once that gets solved I'd like to know how to import current Zencart users into phpBB without the user having to do much (if anything). The phpBB install is new, the Zencart install has been around for a bit and has a number of established customers.





Thanks in advance!

The current versions of Zen Cart and phpBB will no longer integrate by default as they once used to. You will need to run each as a stand-alone script.

So you're saying there's no way to integrate the two user databases? And since we use a custom navbar even the phpbb linkage option is essentially useless to me?

If you want to integrate the two databases you would need to have custom code created for that specific purpose.
