Is this external webpage using some phpBB3 classes or is it completely external?
[/quote:63a4b]

completely external at the moment

[Highway of Life]

Is it in the same website as your phpBB3 directory resides?

You would be able to integrate the phpBB3 classes with relative ease. Let me know, and I'll post a How-to.

All you would have to do is include the regular php stuff like this

Code: Select all

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();


except you would have to change the $phpbb_root_path to be the path to the forum and it would work.
There may be a couple other things that you would need in there... but that is it for the most part.

mmmmh, my Board is at forum.nrg3.de and lies in a subdomain directory on my server
my webpage at nrg3.de, so i wont can use the ./ command

Lew, is it possible to take out the automatic auth feature in your mod?
The reasoning here is hypothetically if you're a guest browsing my forum, and you can see the topic title but can't read it...it would be more of an incentive to register.

Replace all 'f_read' with 'f_list'.

Normally on a host site, it would be in a directory kinda like this

public_html
.......|
.......|??????forum
.......|??????other_Directory
.......|??????subdomain_directory
.............................|
.............................|??????forum

That's usually how it's laid out, so it would probably be

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../subdomain_directory/forum/';

/
..|...
..|bin
..|httpdocs/index.html <--- here is my webpage (www.nrg3.de)
..|httpsdocs/
..|...
..|subdomains/forum/
......................|cgi-bin/
......................|conf/
......................|httpdocs/index.php <-- here is my forum (forum.nrg3.de)
......................|httpsdocs/

in this way the structure of my webspace is looking

[Handyman]

if you have ftp access to your entire account, you should be able to see where it is exactly, but with that structure, it would be

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../forum/httpdocs/';


[LEW21 Janusz]

It will be

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../subdomains/forum/httpdocs/';

, not

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../forum/httpdocs/';
