Absolute Paths??

[upsidedown]

I'm fairly new to all of this stuff. What do I put for the Absolute Paths and the other fields? Examples?

Also will I lose all of my members on e107 or will they be registered to IPB?

Any help?? What do I put for the CMS paths and others www.mydomain.com/???? I don't want to screw up my database by doing guess and check.

You put paths to your e107files : http://www.mye107site.com
Path to your forum : http://www.mye107files.com/forum (don't use forum.my107files.com) it won't work ! <_<

ALL YOU E107 MEMBERS WILL BE LOST ! This hack keeps only the IBF members and used IBF registration and user profiles (and I approve this choice because IBF has a powerful system)

If you still want to keep your e107 members you can copy them by hand to Invision board before you do the integration !

If you need help with mysql querry :D I just learned how to make 'em yesterday so.. I'm here to help !

Don't mess your database up !!! Always backup before any changes !!

ALWAYS

This is very important ! The script works 100% sure I use it now on any production site without any errors (5 sites till now) ! Is very clean code so it won't mess your site, just follow the instructions right ! :lol:

To be on the safe side, could you explain the process? I don't want to end up thinking I'm doing one thing when I'm doing another.

I've only started using e107 a few days/week ago, so any help with the intergration would be much appreciated. Maybe an FAQ/guide could be made from this (and others questions) to help others like me who's just starting out. :)

One advise... if you have less then 50 members... restart from a clean installation !

Here's what the script does (from what I know I'm not the author) :

1. It disables all e107 registration, identification and registration scripts, it only keeps the cookie generation activated so you can use members accounts on e107

2. It integrates the two sites, when a member registers or changes password it's saved into both databases.

3. It uses Invision "user CP" to keep extra info about the members (MSN, birthday, avatar, private messages, etc...)

4. It deletes all e107 members, copies members name, passwords and emails from invision database into e107

5. It keeps all e107 "admin" accounts and skips them if they already exist in invision

6. It makes you happy having two of the best php software to create a greate community easilly and willing to grow quickly (76 members on my 37th day) :D

Anyway, remember that if you have less than 50 members restarts from scratch
install e107, invision, with same user admin and do the integration....

5. It keeps all e107 "admin" accounts and skips them if they already exist in invision,
Perhaps just a typo, but the script completely skips admin accounts, whether they exist in the forums or not. While one could suggest that this could cause conflicts (if the admin were then to go to register in the forums), but if an admin, the person should be able to create the admin member though the forum's CP interface anyway.

I would have to agree with everything else though ;)

I did a full reinstall. The problem I had before was putting the folder in the plugin folder rather than the root folder. It works great now... except for the redirecting issue. Are you going to create a hack to redirect back to the site rather than the forum or make it part of the next release?

Thanks for the help!!

[Patrick]

About the redirection, it is part of the forum.

The script modifies the forum to login to both the CMS software and the forum. If I were to put into a redirect to go back to the CMS, then you would have the reverse problem: The forum would forward to the CMS everytime someone logged into the forum.

I hope you see my point in saying that the redirection is not possible, or rather is a different hack altogether.
