Well done. Great software. Absolutely. I have downloaded StoryTeller and installed it at http://www.newezone.com/cms I must say that I am extremely satisfied, even though I haven't got everything working/confugured 100% just yet. Totally trouble free installation. It looks like you guys have another customer, because if I can get things working right (which I'm sure I will), I'll be ordering many more licenses for many websites The idea behind newezone (an idea that I've had for years, but couldn't find the software) is to have many different topics and many different "administrators" for those topics - on different "site sections", but to have the same username and password between many sites/site sections and one forum (and every other script). I have FINALLY found what I needed. How long have you guys been making this software? I am very happy, and very excited that I can get things "going" for a very reasonable price! Just a few questions. If I could get some replies, in as much detail as possible, and get things running, I'll head straight for the order page. Please forgive me if my questions sound silly to you, but I am asking because I can't figure out the answers. Question 1). What "exactly" does bbwrapper.php do? I've installed it into the main/root StoryTeller dir. But it doesn't seem to have done anything. I edited the variables inside. Question 2a). At the moment.. http://www.newezone.com/cms/register.php http://www.newezone.com/phpbb2/profile.php?mode=register ..both work. Does bbwrapper.php amalgamate these or something? I'd rather have one or the other. However, I have tried registering a new member from "both" pages, and it seems to me that both work (which is cool). Question 2b). However, I have to log into the forums and the cms seperately. If I log out of one, I am not logged out of the other. Is this right? Can't I get them to share cookies or something (they are on the same website)? Question 3). If I order the full version and set up other websites, will they all be able to use the same database? ie: Will the usernames and passwords work on all sites? ..and if I log out of one, will I be logged out of the others? Question 4). I installed phpBB first. Then I installed StoryTeller (using the phpBB database diring the install procedure). Did I do the right thing? MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Originally posted by MrLeN: The bbwrapper.php enabling integration with phpBB or other message forums Integration includes: - Shared user database - Registration in the forum database - Last 10 forum topics in XML feed or header block Originally posted by MrLeN: Yes, the bbwrapper.php writes directly to the phpBB database Originally posted by MrLeN: Most likely a small cookie issue. You need to put the phpbb to the CMS directory (e.g. /cms/phpbb2) or move the CMS to the root directory. Also, you may need to change the cookie path in your phpBB configuration. Originally posted by MrLeN: All sites will use the same user database, as long you are using the same bbwrapper configuration on each site. However, the cookie can't be shared on multiple domains. You need to login/logout on each domain separately. Originally posted by MrLeN: This makes no difference after the bbwrapper.php will only integrate the frontend and not the admin backend. The bbwrapper is not needed for the installation.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. ok, thanks. Everything is ok now, except for my cookie problem. I am now using StoryTeller on my mainsite I will purchase the script soon, because I REALLY need to get my other two sites using the database and also, I need the download section for my free web templates. Just one more question. I have moved phpbb to /cms/phpbb2 but I still have to log in and out of the site and the forum seperately. How to I change the cookie path? I don't know much about cookies, sorry. MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. In phpBB admin: General Configuration => Cookie settings => Cookie Path => /
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. I tried: / and /phpbb2/ and /cms/phpbb2/ The first one allows me to log in and out, but it doesn't affect my cms login. The second one doesn't allow me to log out of the forums. The thirsd one also doesn't allow me to log out of the forums. In all cases, I can log into and out of the CMS (which doesn't seem to affect my forum login). Where is the cookie setting in the cms? Can't I just change that to the same filepath as the phpbb one? What "is" the cms cookie path? MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Originally posted by MrLeN: You can't login to the CMS from phpBB, because it is using a different cookie. If you login/logout from the CMS, bbwrapper will create or delete the phpBB cookie.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. So if I log into the CMS and then visit the forums, I should be logged into the forums too. If I log out of the CMS and then visit the forums, I should be logged out of the forums? However, if I log into the forums then visit the cms, I will not be logged into the CMS If I log out of the forums then vist the CMS I will not be logged out of the cms? So, I have to remove the forum login/logout button and use only the cms login logout button? I am sorry. I don't seem to understand. MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. I am now trying to log in and out via the cms. The phpbb2 location is /cms/phpbb2 I am logging in to the cms and then going to the forum, to see if I am logged in there, and no matter what I try I can't get logged into the forum. I don't know what cookie path to set in phpbb2, so I have tried: / /cms /cms/ /cms/phpbb2 /cms/phpbb2/ (several times each, deleting cookies after each attempt, closing the browser and re-loggin in via the cms) I have tried every combination. Nothing works. Please, can you just tell me what I need to do to get the cookies working? Whether I continue using the software depends on it. If I can't get it woking with my forum, I can't use it, andI am about to give up I really like the CMS, and I know you can't give support to people that haven't paid, and I understand all that, but at the moment I am feeling like the CMS and phpBB2 can't work with duel log in. I've spent many days trying now. MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Perhaps I missed something. I just installed phpBB 2.0.10 on my test server and will try to find a solution tomorrow.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Look like something has changed with the login in newer phpBB 2.0 builds. I will try to update the bbwrapper this weekend.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Just a quick status update. I hope to get an updated bbwrapper.php ready later this week or weekend. I am right now pretty busy finishing Storyteller 1.8.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Any more news on the bbwrapper.php for making in work with phpBB? MrLeN
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. You need to change the following in bbwrapper.php 1) Be sure to add the cookie name to the $bb_cookie = ""; line. The cookie name is usual phpbb2mysql: Code: $bb_cookie = "phpbb2mysql"; 2) Find : Code: setcookie($bb_cookie."_data",urlencode(serialize($thiscookie))); and replace with: Code: setcookie($bb_cookie."_data",serialize($thiscookie),time()+60*60*24*360,"/"); setcookie($bb_cookie."_sid",md5(rand(0,32768)),time()+60*60*24*360,"/"); 3) Find: Code: setcookie($bb_cookie."_data",0); and replace with: Code: setcookie($bb_cookie."_data",0,0,"/"); setcookie($bb_cookie."_sid",0,0,"/"); I tested this with phpBB 2.0.10 and it worked without problems. Let me know if this work for you as well.
Well done. Great software. Absolutely. Did you change the cookie name in $bb_cookie? To find out your cookie name, go to the phpBB 2 admin: General Admin => Configuration My settings are: Cookie domain = empty field Cookie name = phpbb2mysql Cookie path = / and in bbwrapper.php: Code: $bb_cookie = "phpbb2mysql"; // cookie name
