Hi, (excuse for my english)
since few days i searched where is the project for phpbb3 on phpnuke 8.1 but nothing...

So is there people who worked about this ? any news ?

for fun today, i worked a little about it (in waiting someone talk about this project) and i have some bugs with this:

Code:

$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

who use

Code:

$db->sql_return_on_error(true);

and bug..

all function and files before seems good (only for non-admin pages)

it was me who did the first coppermine port for phpnuke but it was easy, but with phpbb3 i have some trouble with sql_return_on_error

So i would know more about a similar project by others people for know if i continue or not working about this.

Tks

No news yet, but glad to see you trying. I doubt we'd see anything from phpNuke's creator. Smile

anyone tackled this yet?

Seems the major thing that needs to be done is the append_sid function in nuke updated to work with phpbb and the one in phpbb3 commented out. Then changing the $phpbb_root_path variable in all the phpbb3 root files... seems thats mostly what needs to be done with modifying files.

For the database I was just thinking you could modify the phpnuke nuke_users table to have the same basic structure as the phpbb3 users table then create a mysql view called phpbb_users that points to the nuke_users table.

For example, replace the following in phpbb3 includes/functions.php

Code:

return $url . (($append_url) ? $url_delim . $append_url . $amp_delim : $url_delim) . $params . ((!$session_id) ? '' : $amp_delim . 'sid=' . $session_id) . $anchor;

with

Code:

$append_sid_url = $url . (($append_url) ? $url_delim . $append_url . $amp_delim : $url_delim) . $params . ((!$session_id) ? '' : $amp_delim . 'sid=' . $session_id) . $anchor;
$append_sid_url = str_replace("modules/phpbb3/", "", $append_sid_url);
$append_sid_url = str_replace("?", "&", $append_sid_url); // As we are already in nuke, change the ? to &
$append_sid_url = str_replace(".php", "", $append_sid_url);
$append_sid_url = "modules.php?name=phpbb3&file=".$append_sid_url; //Change to Nuke format

return $append_sid_url;

This combined with changing the $phpbb_root_path variable in all the files will make most of phpbb3 funciton as a module within nuke. Does the current phpbb2nuke really do much more than that?

Personally I found the changes too difficult. I am going with an easier approach, a loose integration that does not integrate the users tables.

Still working on the code. I will release it as open source once it is done and tested, however I do accept donations (for the time, feeds my late night hunger).
