How to integrate phpbb2.0 into the main body of osc2.2

June 16, 2003

The question is how to integrate phpbb2 into the main body of osc2.2

In another locked thread I found this quote:

Joe, i think i know the answer to your question, since i've done it myself as an "OSC/phpBB newbie" i wrapped around phpbb with my own site template instead of the osc one, but the idea's the same. you can do it too if you're familar with HTML.

in phpBB, /templates/subSilver/, find the files call overall_header.php and overall_footer.php

in osC, open any simple site file (i.e. privacy.php), find

use the part before this line in overall_header.php, the part after this line in overall_footer.php, and you're all set!

make sure you delete/change the lines that say:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_PRIVACY);

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY, '', 'NONSSL'));

to your forum title.

I have searched like crazy and have come this close to the answer but cannot figure the above quote out. Please clarify this for me.

I would like to know how also, plus does your board run off of just one database for both phpbb and oscommerce?

Thanks,

There is only 1 database for both. - they are not sharing login information as I have not had the time to restructure the way phpBB stores the info but it is sharing the database. I plan to pull the login info to be dual eventually.

The site can be viewed in netscape and in IE.

Here is my sample phpbb file from the catalog. Let me know of any errors as my tabling is off

Thanks so much for your help. Now I'm so close to success I can taste it!

I made a file of the same name, changed the link to point to it , and put in your code but I get this message when I click the link:

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/FILENAME_FORUMS) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/producti/public_html/catalog/phpbb.php on line 16

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/FILENAME_FORUMS' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/producti/public_html/catalog/phpbb.php on line 16

Also I see a reference to "thema". Is that a themes contribution? I do not have any. Will that affect it?
