I hoping maybe I can "kill 2 birds w/1 stone"!

I am racking my brain trying to get this bridge installed and would really appreciate any help.

First, I have a dumb question:
When I ran the supplied phpBB installer, I created a new DB, was I supposed to point it to the current geeklog DB?
It never specified wheter I should or not. I am thinking that's the problem, but not sure how to fix it.

Nonetheless, I actually have it partially working with single user sign-on.
If you go to: http://www.enemydown.org/forumn/geekBB/
The forumn is running but not exactly, I am getting this error message:

"General Error

Could not query categories list

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1146 Table 'enemy_geeklogger.phpbb_categories' doesn't exist

SELECT c.cat_id, c.cat_title, c.cat_order FROM phpbb_categories c ORDER BY c.cat_order

Line : 121
File : /home/enemy/public_html/forumn/geekBB/index.php "


The other question I have is how can I disable posting "anonymously" with geeklog?
I only want to enable posting if someone registers.

Thanks for any help.

Yep, that's covered in the readme.


Install phpBB by browsing to http://locationofyourphpbb/install/install.php. Follow the phpBB installation instructions during this step. When you are setting up your database variables, make sure that you use the same database as your Geeklog install.

Go to the phpBB admin panel -> Forum Admin -> Permissions

From there, you can set all of your forums to "Registered" instead of "Public".

Hope that helps!

Clarification:
I want to disable "New Story" Posts for anonymous users.
You have to be registerd to post anything...seems trivial!
Is it an Access Rights thing or a Permission thing?
What would I set it to if that it!

Thanks again.

It's a config.php setting.
