Absolutely SIMPLE reg redirect for ALL reg links in PHPBB3

[p17blo]

Well I knew there had to be a simple way, and there is. I have seen several hacks that need several file hacks and even these cause wrapper loops when clicking on register when in the forum area of PHPBB3 (assuming you are using the CBconnecter)

open includes\functions.php
find

Code: Select all

'U_REGISTER' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=register'),

replace with

Code: Select all

'U_REGISTER'=> 'http://yourjoomlawebsite/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers" TARGET="_top',

Make sure you include the "s and the 's

Save the file and over write the original (keeping a backup of course)

Now, whenever your PHPBB3 site calls the registrationo function it simply loads the Joomla CB registration page breaking the wrapper window if there is one.

If anyone is intested I will continue to work on other working links for profiles as well

Sorry if this isn't 'new' info, but I searched hi and low and simply found unanswered threads and dead links.

Thanks for the post...

Similar stuff should work in phpbb3... just have not had the time to work on it yet...

Side note... working on another MOD to the CBC Wrapper which may do this automatically in the future for forums shown in the wrapper...

I've been running a mod that's worked reasonably well for me that involves editing 3 files.

This appears much cleaner and quite a bit less likely to foul up the phpBB3 automatic updater.

This works well. I am wondering though..can we make it so that when someone clicks on a "user name" on the forum that it could be linked to the CB Profile and not the PHPBB3 Profile.

I have been looking through all the code and I have found references to "u_viewprofile" and "viewprofile", but no definitions or anything that looked like I would be able to redirect it to CB User Profile Page. I was hoping to find it in the common.php, but it isn't there that I can see.

I was thinking maybe an htaccess rewrite might work, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

I would think something similar to what was done for phpbb2 should work.

Also I am working on a modified CBC Wrapper... and one of its functions is to take a link for a user profile with the phpbb ID and show the correct CB profile.

I just need to find some time to finish coding v2 and the CBC Wrapper so I can get them released...

Any update on the new CBC Wrapper?

[geeffland]

Still in process... have a few minor issues to iron out ( main one is passing POST data to an IFRAME )... then will release with v2

Thanks for the update Greg!
