CuteNewsRU PHPBB3 Integration V1.0

[typeman]

@ Darkslim.

Would it be possible to have it so that when the user logs into the PHPBB boards, they are automatically logged into the CNRU database?

Hmm yeah, I guess it is possible, and I might really wanna add it to my
website (I use phpbb 2 but it should'nt be hard to make it work in 3 too)
so I'll think of it when I'll have the time these days and if if I'll manage to
make anything I'll keep you updated

I just installed this and did darks hack.. I had a question. Why would we want the two data-bases to talk to each other?

With this hack would sessions be spread throughout not only the forum,.. but the website as well -- so if you logged into the forum and then started to read some news articles (through CNR) could you leave a comment and it would translate the name and avatar and what not???

This is pretty neat. Great job guys!

This is really a promising hack, I would like to have a hand on it. And further improvement will be using facebook or Google connect so that users need not register for forums ( u see now a days no one is interested in registering for websites and if at all any one register they don't remember that they have registered.) this will automatically login them using OAuth, that way visitors can be more engaged.. I will try this and will let u know if I make any improvement!!!

Great news! Someone from the official PHPBB forums was able to help me out with a fix. I'll post it up tomorrow when I have time

would you be so kind and post this please?

hello for all of u that are having problems with the phpbb3 site integration and cute news.. here is how to include cute news in ur site wo it wont be a problem to use it with the phpbb3 integration in the same page..

the way i included cute news on my site was like this

Code: Select all

    <?php
     
     
    //Store phpBB data
        $phpbb_template = $template;
        $phpbb_user = $user;
        $template = '';

        //Show news
       $number=5;
    include("/ur news path/show_news.php");
        //Restore phpBB data
        $user = $phpbb_user;
        $template = $phpbb_template;

        ?>

        $template = $phpbb_template;

        ?>

So are you not including head.php at the beginning of your page? and it didn't really work for me

Not yet, I still need to finish some data inserting into my
website before I start working on the forum, but I will try
doing this soon

u include the head.php the same way

Code: Select all

<?php
     
     
    //Store phpBB data
        $phpbb_template = $template;
        $phpbb_user = $user;
        $template = '';

        //Show news

    include("/ur news path/head.php");
        //Restore phpBB data
        $user = $phpbb_user;
        $template = $phpbb_template;

        ?>

This will be a nice feature when done!

I would love for the forum and CNR db sessions can talk to each other!

Like,.. Log in to the forum and then browse some forum topics and then go back to the CNR news site and be able to comment using your "NAME" and "Avatar" be the same!

It would also be pretty neat to make some custom profile fields in phpbb and be able to capture some URL's in the CNR -- Sort of like having your FAVORITES in one place!

Great JOB!

Thanks a ton.. Your correction works like a charm .. Now I have Forums and Cutenews on same page and both are working together. I also integrated Facebook Connect to PHPBB . And a PHPBB login box on every page of the website. Now have to make PHPBB users also users of Cutenews Ru... that is the last step required... Thanks once again to all of You

You can have a look here of my home page -> http://dilipkumar.in
It has Cutenews Ru, PHPbb( on the bottom it displays recent topics of the forum) and a login box with Facebook Connect....

You got a linking problem with your forum box, it leads to http://dilipkumar.in/home/dilipku/publi ... *&sid=**** which leads to error page. Surplus in link is home/dilipku/public_html
