Hi all,

I have been reading through some rather conflicting posts regarding integration with phpBB206.

That is what I`m after. Can anyone give me a definate answer that 1.4.3 will integrate with phpBB.

Nothing fancy, all I wanted was for my board use to be able to use their board names. That`s all.

I read somewhere that the newer version of gallery has inegration built in? Do I still need to edit any of the php scripts?

Thanks.

copy from another thread:

i differentiate 2 cases:
1. you click in phpBB on the Gallery link
-> loads the module.php and after it gallery/index.php
2. you browse to your gallery directly
-> no features of the phpBB integration will be used

- phpbb users can only login in phpbb, not with the gallery login button
- when you click in 2. "[manage users]" in gallery, there's only the admin user of gallery
- same for permissions when you click from 2.
- but everything works if you use 1.
- gallery has phpbb looks (phpbb css is included)

burk worked on his gallery/phpbb a few minutes and this is the result:
http://www.klasse9d.hostcubix.com/forum/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&sid=d9f4e59dc6a76986a2cff710fc054e53

however, this is the definite topic for gallery/phpbb:

Ok, I added the mods but could no go any more. I do use the subsilver template, so how can I integrate a gallery link into the template I am using?

I just wanted to add a gallery text link into the overall header, along with my other links? How would I code this to inegrate with the module/gallery?

What I was after, is when a forum member clicks on the text link (gallery) it redirects to the gallery, and not open it inside phpBB2? Is this possible?

if you followed the mod instructions including the changes in the phpbb files, you should have a link in phphbb that says "gallery" and links to the gallery.

if you don't want gallery to have the phpbb looks, you'll need to change a few things. see the other thread and ask burk how he did it.

Thanks for yourhelp.

Yes, that was all I wanted, was gallery to use the PHPBB2 username database. I didn`t want it embedding into the forum board. I like gallery as a standalone and seperate from the board apart from usernames.
