Bulletin Board Integration [Support Thread]

[crc88]

Hello Lat9

Can you please look at my checklist and see what I missed, I cannot get the new zen cart user to show up as a registration in the forum
• Zen Cart (v1.5.1) installed and working.
• phpBB (v3.0.11) installed and working, installed within my Zen Cart installation.
• The Zen Cart®/Bulletin Board Integration via Notifier Hooks plugin installed in the Zen Cart installation.
• Changed “YOUR-TEMPLATE” to my theme folder name in the above plugin
• Configuration->My Store->Enable phpBB linkage? is set to true.
• Nickname min value set to 3
• Email min values set to greater than 0
• Password min value set to greater than 0
• In the forum admin change nick name and re-use email set to no
• Zen config file set to define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', './forum/'); (phpBB is in the “forum” folder directly inside my zen cart installation)

I made sure the email doesn’t already exist in the forum
I am prompted for a nick name in the zen cart registration
However the new user does not show up in phpBB
I have tried with the phpBB DB as a separate database and as a db operating within the zencart DB.

I hope you can see what I am missing, sorry to be a bother I have tried to provide as much info as possible

Use

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'forum/');

i have added the 2 files to my store and have it set up.
i am using 1.5.1 and have both configure files with "define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'forum/');"

i can see the forum link in the information block, the forum nickname shows in create account too. when i create a new account to test the forum account is not being made and i cannot work out why.

any help or advice will be gratefully received.

Did you also download and install the base code (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1597)? The phpBB integration won't work without the base also being installed.
