PHPBB v3 Support?

[PaulC2K]

Bah, you had me thinking you'd solved this issue, its something that annoys me too.

Ive not really looked into why it doesnt like displaying them, been too busy with other projects to really look into why its kicking out code instead of using it, and thankfully everything else appears to work as you'd want it to so ive left it as it was.
Images come over fine, as do avatars if you make the minor code change i posted a while back (unless the script includes this modification now) but the smilies are fussy little things.

I have been very busy on other projects. I will see if I can release a maintenance release though sometime in the near future.

I do not have the phpBB 3.x installed right now, but based on the error you provided, you can try replacing the function "function parse_Smilies(&$text)" in phpBB with the following:

function parse_Smilies(&$text)

    {
        $text = str_replace("{SMILIES_PATH}", $this->CONF['url'] . "images/smilies", $text);

    } 

Based on what you posted, it appears that phpBB now includes the image html code itself in the forum post.

You've nailed it!

Yeah, that works perfectly, i actually spend about 30min looking at the code myself, but for some odd reason it wasnt actually listing the URL however it had the image tag and even the name of the smilie, but the url was '', after extensive faith coding (changing stuff you think might do something) i got the url to display but nothing more than that.

Anyway, cheers for sorting that out

Hello, the gold release of phpbb3 came out today and I also download the updated phpBB_3.php file from this thread and everything works fine except smilies and the Author Name link that links to their profile.

I tried the fix for the smilies but didn't get it working right and I'm not sure how to get the authors name link working. I was just wondering if there would be an update coming out soon to fix these issues.

If needed my website is http://inevmaps.hl2files.com

Thanks for the awesome script

I will post a fully working and updated class in a few days.

I may also publish an update of the script with the latest bug fixes.

Just noticed the differences myself, what can i say, im slow

news posters profile fix for 3.0.0:
\classes\sources\Forum\phpBB_3.php

Line 48:
$this->LINKS['author'] = $this->CONF['url'] . "profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=";

to:
$this->LINKS['author'] = $this->CONF['url'] . "memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=";

Extremely simple task.


Smilies in 3.0.0:
Same file, cant say i see any problem with smilies on the page.
Look around line 205, and double check that function is correct, it certainly works at my end anyway.


One thing ive just spotted is [color] tags, i've slapped color tags around [BREAK ARTICLE] and basically its displaying the opening details being told to stop processing the news, and not closing the tags, which results in [color=#ffffff] appearing on the page.
Its not important, just would have been nice if it was invisiable on the actual forum.

I ran a phpbb bulletin board for several years. It was difficult to keep up with security issues. When it was hacked about three years ago, I switched to vBulletin. Life has been much simpler. Just the reduction in spam registrations is a big relief.

vBulletin is developed by a group of professionals. They provide regular updates and immediate updates if a security issue arises. Support both here by experienced users and through the official channel are much better and not likely to generate a negative response for a newbie question.

Once the cms is available it should evey be better if that fits your needs.

I just installed this mod on my new website (clanfc.us) and had an error. I Googled it and got linked here, so I looked around and found that you did in fact have support for my phpBB3 forums. Even though this is a dead topic, I thought I should come on and express my gratitude.
