Bulletin Board Integration [Support Thread]

[DigiBooks]

I'll need to review that procedure to see, but I think that the nickname -- if not entered during account-creation -- cannot be entered after-the-fact.

Ah right. I haven't got round to doing the installs yet so I'm assuming the add-on provides option for a phpBB Nickname then? We're a small group at the moment so if that is the case it is not a problem for admins to contact members and add a Nickname at our end ... will go ahead with phpBB install and have a play and let you know what we find.

Thanks again

Hi Guys,
Sorry to jump in here out of the blue but I have a question.
I realize that this plugin is designed to give Zen cart users a forum where they can discuss whatever they wish, is there any way I can go the opposite way?
I already have a phpBB forum and what I would like to do is give my 6K or so users the ability to log into the cart using their forum credentials.
I am using ZenCart 1.5.4 and phpBB 3.1.6.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Bob

Unfortunately, with the current Zen Cart "view" of what it takes to create an account ... an email address and password are necessary but insufficient. The customer would also need some kind of default address information for their ZC account to "be happy".

There's some discussion of reducing that account requirement in future (think v1.6.0) versions of Zen Cart.

Ok, thanks for that info, I've been waiting so long now a while more won't really matter!

I've submitted updates for each of the Bulletin-Board interfaces to the plugins area. In each case, the change is to modify any class constructor-function name to __construct in preparation for PHP 7.0 installations:

1) Bulletin Board Integration via Notifier Hooks: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1597, v1.5.1
2) phpBB Integration via Notifier Hooks: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1598, v1.3.1
3) SMF Integration via Notifier Hooks: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1608, v1.1.1

After reading through this thread, you have mentioned that 'config.core.php' is not needed to be installed, however, with the download you offer different 'config.core.php' for the different versions of zencart.

I am currently using zencart 1.5.4 and when I have merged 'config.core.php' with the one I have I am getting error 500.

Should I be installing 'config.core.php' to v1.5.4?

My fault, I missed a bit of the merge. in 'config.core.php'

$autoLoadConfig[0][] = array autoType'=>'class', 'loadFile'=>'class.phpbb.php'); 

should read

$autoLoadConfig[0][] = array('autoType'=>'class', 'loadFile'=>'class.bb.php'); // Changed/lat9 (was class.phpbb.php) 

Sorry
