MXbb is pretty nice...but it lacks developers that can spend a good amount of time on it. They have been working on the 2.8 series for so long now...and it has been in the Beta 1 stage for many, many months.
So unless they are secretly putting all their effort towards 3.x compatibility, don't expect phpBB3 support for a very long time.

Overall I had to make a change to the above code, and one function in the "template.php" file to make the forum technology work on every page that includes that code. It now looks a bit like this:
Code: Select all
<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
define('IN_SITE', true);
$root_path = '/home/blah/blah/htdocs';
$phpbb_root_path = $root_path.'/forums/';
$phpEx = 'php';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
?>
Code: Select all
function assign_vars($vararray)
{
global $root_path;
foreach ($vararray as $key => $val)
{
$val = str_replace($root_path, "", $val);
$this->_tpldata['.'][0][$key] = $val;
}
return true;
}
Re: PhpBB 3 portals
It is still possible - you are even able to tell the template engine where your templates are - and to change assign_vars() looks a bit strange, since it is only responsible for assigning... vars.
There are no known problems with integrating phpbb into a site and also no known problems with using pages not within the forums root directory.

Re: PhpBB 3 portals
Cant wait for a final release of a good phpBB3 Portal to be released.
Im gonna use it on my forum instead of making all the .php pages and editing manually in dreamweaver everyday.
Can anyone recommend probably the best portal so far for phpBB3?

Re: PhpBB 3 portals
Is none that are live yet - so you are asking a little too early.

Re: PhpBB 3 portals
There are several live out there, but naturally beta, because phpBB 3.0 is beta.
Re: PhpBB 3 portals
Beta is short for "does not work yet" so I have been told.
I am sure that a lot of the portals do work - but until they have been tried (to breaking point) with a full forum etc - they will still be beta
I have notifications for this topic - because I too want a portal as soon as one is available (but after RC1 of the forum software).

Re: PhpBB 3 portals
Ectoman, Just a note re accessing files outside the phpbb root should it be necessary...
Always use file_exists(string filename) where file name includes the full path to file to avoid possible remote injection.
This function will not work on remote files; the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
