phpBB, BBWrappers, and Story Teller

phpBB, BBWrappers, and Story Teller

ive been playing around with the freeware script for some time now, and i like the ability to customize it.

However, the forum, private messages and comment system isnt what i expected. (not that its a bad thing)

I would like to try adding a phpBB forum to replace them.

i have had a look at the bbwrapper.php in the phpBB20 folder on the free edition, however im rather confused on how this intergration works

is there a more simple tutorial to follow?

Unfortunately, the current phpBB bbwrapper is not supporting this. phpBB made some cookie related changes in the login system in later versions of phpBB 2.0 that are incompatible with the current bbwrapper.

I may release an updated phpBB bbwrapper along with the 1.8.3 release in a few weeks. However, working on version 2.0 has right now my highest priority.

Hello once again.
i have been modding phpBB and Storyteller to get the best performance i could and i have stumbled across something that doesn't quite add up

I have phpBB located on a sub domain, and the

Forums.website.com - phpBB forums
website.com - Holds the story teller CMS

im having trouble with the cookies in the bbwrapper.
I can login fine on both the website and forum separately.

Is there a way to login to the phpBB users database. using only the one login form? as my users have to login to the site when they want to post comments and then login to the forums seperatly when the want to post in the forums


I hope you got that gibberish :-P
Thanks in advance

i have done this, then loaded the bbwrapper.php in the browser but nothing seems to be happening.

You should be able to login at the front end with the username/password of your phpBB installation.

If this works well for me, I will consider buying the full version, if i can keep all the user account and posts allready made.

I am not aware of any Storyteller to phpBB import script. I think the best is that you ask at the phpBB convertors forum.

i have done this, then loaded the bbwrapper.php in the browser but nothing seems to be happening.

I have the CMS in the folder "CMS" with the database "EsselbachFree"
and the phpBB loaded into the folder "CMS/Forums" with the database
"phpBB2022"

I have been running storyteller for just over a month, and ive just installed phpBB today. i allready have user accounts in storyteller i would like to keep.

If this works well for me, I will consider buying the full version, if i can keep all the user account and posts allready made.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Basically, open the bbwrapper.php for phpBB in an editor and change:

$bb_host = "localhost";

$bb_dbname = "phpbb";
$bb_dbuser = "root";
$bb_dbpasswd = "password";
$bb_url = "forums/";

to the database configuration of your phpBB forum. Then upload the file to the document root of your Storyteller installation.
