Zen + PHPBB frustrating problem

[StarDancer]

I have them both installed. The nickname shows up on log in and works and is automatically included in the forum so I know they are talking to each other. However....

in my config file it shows the proper path to the forum:
define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/stardanc/public_html/bookofshadows/forum/')

when you click on the forum link from the cart it shows as:
http://bookofshadows.com/zenshop//forum/index.php

if you delete the zenshop// you get to the actual forum which shows the new added user and is fully functional.

How can this be? What am I not doing right?

I feel like such a ditz that I can't figure this out! HELP!!! Please!!!

/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php
change this:

// Forum (phpBB) link:
  if ( (isset($phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && $phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && (isset($phpBB->phpBB['files_installed']) && $phpBB->phpBB['files_installed'])  && (PHPBB_LINKS_ENABLED=='true')) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL', false, '', true) . '" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';
// or: $phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX
// or: str_replace(str_replace(DIR_WS_CATALOG, '', DIR_FS_CATALOG), '', DIR_WS_PHPBB)
  }

to whatever you want your direct link to be, perhaps:

    $information[] = '<a href="http://YOUR_SITE.COM/forum" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';

Well kinda worked like a charm... My links to the forum in the side box shows the correct address now, however my link in the site map still shows the

http://bookofshadows.com/zenshop//forum/index.php as the link

/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/information.php
change this:

// Forum (phpBB) link:
  if ( (isset($phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && $phpBB->phpBB['db_installed_config']) && (isset($phpBB->phpBB['files_installed']) && $phpBB->phpBB['files_installed'])  && (PHPBB_LINKS_ENABLED=='true')) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL', false, '', true) . '" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';
// or: $phpBB->phpBB['phpbb_url'] . FILENAME_BB_INDEX
// or: str_replace(str_replace(DIR_WS_CATALOG, '', DIR_FS_CATALOG), '', DIR_WS_PHPBB)
  }

to whatever you want your direct link to be, perhaps:

    $information[] = '<a href="http://YOUR_SITE.COM/forum" target="_blank">' . BOX_BBINDEX . '</a>';

Then you can change that link in the tpl_site_map_default.php template file, after making a copy of it in your custom template override folder.

Thank you again DrByte for pulling this newbie out of the trash heap!
