Geeklog Forums

After messin with it for a couple hours I finally got it installed again. Problem it, when I go to the forum, I get this message:



Any idea how I can correct this

Oh yeah, and this is the line from the page header:

This happens after an incorrect install/integration. You may want to check all of the config files and make sure that your paths are correct.

Also, what page were you trying to load when this happened? It was phpBB's index.php file, right?

I get the same Fatal error: Call to undefined function: com_siteheader[blab blah blah]page_header.php on line 350 when trying to load the forum index from the nav bar. I can open the forum admin interface using the GL admin bar, but no go when trying to open the forum's index either directly or using the link.

I'm no coding superman, but I tried following suggestions that I've seen. Even checked out those topics on demo.dogcows.net. I think the config files are set up correctly, but I'm stumped also. (sigh)

On another (unrelated) note... I also do not receive the registration password confirmation email when using a test user dummy account if I use an email address with a domain name that is different than the site's domain (i.e. YAHOO). I get the message that the password is being mailed, but nada.

Did you remove the install and contrib directories for phpBB? What about the admin/install directory for Geeklog? There's a small bug with the wrong error message showing up for those problems. It is fixed in my internal version and will be pushed out in the next version of the phpBBBridge I release.

As for your unrelated note, I don't know. It's not a phpBBBridge issue.

All of the associated install/contrib directories for phpbb and GL were deleted prior to attempting the login. I just know I'm going to end up scrapping the whole thing... deleting all of the databases, and reinstalling both again. Either brute force or blunt force head trauma will prevail!

can you post the contents of your geeklog.inc file in the phpBB directory?

Sure It's pretty basic, but I won't rule out anything.

and /home/draconis/public_html/portal/lib-common.php exists and is the correct file?

Aye, and here is the line from lib-common.php:



I guess it looks right.

One last thing to try:

in the phpBB functions.php file, find the following:



change it to read



Then, see if the error message you are getting has changed.

No sir. No change. Is that significant?

Apparently not in your case.

Well, I'm stumped. Unless you know enough PHP to trace through the code and figure out why the lib-common.php file failed to be included in your page load, I would recommend reinstalling the plugin.

Looks like it's brute force then. Thanks for the help. I'll update if I think of anything else, or if it starts working miraculously.

Hey, I was getting the same error message....and I changed the code you wanted changed. Now t's giving me another error, the error is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/hopes/public_html/phpBB2/includes/functions.php on line 2


got any ideas on that one sir?

HOpes

This happens when there is a syntax error in the PHP code. Usually it's a quote that isn't closed. Did you make any other changes to that file?

And try using the latest version of the Bridge found on my website. You should no longer have to change the message_die function to show the hidden error message.

i'm having trouble, the install seems to run smoothly, but when i go to phpbb i'm not logged in, clicking log in just askes me to re login to geeklog but i never actually get logged into phpbb, it's difficult to figure anything out since i can't log in as admin to get to the administration panel

Sounds like the install didn't go so smoothly.

Any error.log errors? If not, I'd recommend going through the install instructions and trying again.

No errors, everything seemed to go ok. I checked in phpmyadmin and the tables seem to have been synched, same db different prefix right?

The link to the forum which is suppose to be added by default was not added if this indicates anything.

Thanks.

What version of Geeklog? What theme?
