Issue with forum integration

[sutikah1]

Have tried searching for an answer but couldn't find anything suitable.

Everything was going great till I opened a test account only to get the following error when I submitted my details.

1054 Unknown column 'group_description' in 'field list'
in:
[INSERT INTO groups (group_name, group_description, group_single_user, group_moderator) VALUES (0, 'Personal User', 1, 0)]

Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?

All help greatly appreciated.

What forum and version?

What forum and version?

phpBBv3

I do not think that phpBBv3 is supported at this time - and this is due to the changes they have made to the forum script that differ greatly from v2

So how do I roll back to an earlier version? I have yet to put any serious work into my forum so I'm not much bothered about losing any settings. Would I just delete v3 and install v2 in its place?

Yes and you should be able to obtain the download from them

This link has some info on integration, but it is in a beta form, no one has come out to say if they are working on a permanent downloadable solution.

PhpBB3 is just way better than version 2. I mean you could roll back to 2, or since you don't have that much of a forum (like me) you could wait it out for the coders to come up with a more permanent solution. In the mean time some people may have two logins to deal with.

I wonder why ppl so in love with phpbb and insist on it? There are so many other forum softwares out there that make integration with ZC a breeze.

Why put up a module to integrate another - I am sure that most select phpbb as this is integrated into the install and probably no other reason

[yellow1912]

People want to:
1. Login to ZC and the forum at the same time
2. Create account for both at the same time
3. Pull new posts from forum

etc....

And seems like it is causing a headache for many users using phpbb. Yet with SMF and some other forum softwares, you can accomplish all that with several lines of codes, so it becomes a big puzzle for me, why would you want to stick with phpbb that much?
