Hi guys :)

I've put together a guide on howto make your joomla/mambo cms dance with stuff such as wowroster, eqdkp and phpBB!

Give it a look and throw me some feedback :)

Please note.. this guide is written in 'Worst case scenario' most of the time.. hehe.. so many of the steps taken in this guide can be skipped if your server isn't running with php_safe_mode turned on!

(don't shoot me for my spelling.. hehe)

Also check fc-guild.org for a live example :)

Thanks for putting this together, Thumann. Need to look through it more thoroughly after work, but from skimming over it, it looks quite helpful. Didn't want to make the switch from Mambo to Joomla and try to figure this out at the same time.

Definitely looking forward to your phpBB forum integration guide as well.

Any chance you could make a demo login and password for your site for us to look at? I started creating one the other week, as you suggested in your other thread. It was requiring me to enter resists, etc., like I was recruting with your guild, whereas I just wanted to see your roster integration.

Thanks again for the guide.

Hey, trying to get the itemstats installed into my site but I am having some trouble.

I get the following error:


Warning: main(/phpBB/phpbb_itemstats.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/damagein/public_html/components/com_content/content.php on line 17

Warning: main(/phpBB/phpbb_itemstats.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/damagein/public_html/components/com_content/content.php on line 17

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/phpBB/phpbb_itemstats.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/damagein/public_html/components/com_content/content.php on line 17

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: itemstats_parse() in /home/damagein/public_html/components/com_content/content.php on line 1580


I modified the content and index.php just as listed.

Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Hi thumann.

Ive been trying to get phpbb bridge to work and I have a problem, Ive installed the safemode patch and still it wont work!

Here is the error message I get on the component install page:

"
This web host is running a particular implementation of PHP safe mode which places severe limitations on what files the Mambo admin interface can create. File uploads will currently not install correctly unless you select the FTP Assist option below. FTP Assist uses your site admin’s FTP account to copy, make directories, and set permissions for newly installed components, modules, or templates. This also allows all file ownership to be retained by the site admin uid which can improve security and alleviate site maintenance problems thru the FTP client later. To use FTP Assist, click the ‘Use FTP Assist’ checkbox below and provide your FTP account username, password, and host address in the provided test boxes. The password is not retained by Mambo for security reasons.

If the ‘use FTP Assist’ checkbox is disabled below, then your current PHP implementation on this host does not support FTP. The only other alternative for installation is to perform a manual install using the Install from directory option below. You will need to use an ftp client on your PC to transfer the uncompressed component or module installation files (using a zip utility) to a temporary directory on this site. You will need to view the module/component/template's .xml installation directive file to determine what and where to manually create (thru your ftp client) any new installation subdirectories and where to copy the files from the temporary install directory over to the proper destination areas, just as the .xml file would direct this installer script. After completing this manual process, proceed with the Install from directory option below. The script will verify that all required files and directories have been properly copied by you. Then the required Mambo database changes will be performed to complete installation. Note: you will need to enable write access to your components subdirectory as 755 at a minimum (ie. owner: rwx group: r-x everyone: r-x) or 777 (all rwx)

Hey.. your path to itemstats is off.. check your error.. it thinks you've placed itemstats files in the root folder of phpbb..

it should be /phpBB/itemstats/phpbb_itemstats.php

This isn't an error.. it's a information message saying that you've applied the safemode patch to your joomla installation :)

What problem are you experiencing with the installer?

Ok, I am going to reinstall it. Do I make its own DB, let it access others?
