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.

i have now..

thank you

You're very welcome.

I'm sure there is, but it would require custom coding.

Note: Since these plugins require a change to the /includes/auto_loaders/config.core.php for their proper operation and that file has changes in both Zen Cart v1.5.2 and v1.5.3, these plugins are not ready for either Zen Cart v1.5.2 or v1.5.3 until I've got an appropriate update.
