User registration problem

    Hi!

    When a user registers on WP, the user added (by WP w3all phpBB plugin) to phpBB is not a member in any group. So when the user is logged in to phpBB she does not see any forums and phpBB says “This board has no forums.”. The user must be added to the Registered users group in order to see the forums. Is it possible to add the user automatically to the Registered users group in phpBB? Or can this issue be solved in other way?

    Similar issue is present also when the user is registered on the phpBB side. The user added (by WP w3all phpBB plugin) to WP has now user level “contributor”. It should be “subscriber” I think.

    Anybody have ideas how to solve these issues? Much appreciated!

    Cheers, Jussi

    One thing more: I can see from the source code that the WP w3all phpBB plugin inserts the user to phpBB groups id 2 and 7. What are they? In my phpBB installation there are groups starting from id 385. Any ideas what is going on?

    2 – 7 -> phpBB -> registered default group
    users are added as default Registered users group in phpBB, which you can’t change.
    as asked above, to resolve you should:

    open phpBB ACP
    open tab users and groups
    choose -> Group forum permissions from menu
    Then choose from Look up usergroup: Registered Users
    select all forums and submit
    Then apply proper view permissions for each forum.

    Thanks for the reply!

    So you mean the problem is that my installation of phpBB the default groups are with wrong ids?

    By modifying the group forum permissions I don’t know how it can help in my situation. The registered users have already the permissions needed. The problem is that the new users don’t belong to any group as the plugin tries to insert them to groups id 2 and 7. They don’t exist in my installation.

    Well not really. I think the main issue is that the default registered group ids are 387 and 392 in my phpBB installation. To work with the WP w3all phpBB plugin they should be 2 and 7.

    Possible fixes:

    1) in WP w3all phpBB plugin: to have a filter or config variables for default registered group ids (to have something else than 2 and 7).

    2) in phpBB: show forums even though user is not belonging to any group in phpBB. Don’t know if this is possible.

    OK thank for the feedback in this way, that help me to understand.

    I think the main issue is that the default registered group ids are 387 and 392 in my phpBB installation

    here i’m little confused: is see Registered group is a default phpBB group that exist and can’t be removed, i so think you should have it or i’ve not understand the phpBB documentation about this (or how it is managed by phpBB).

    open phpBB ACP
    open tab users and groups
    choose -> Group forum permissions from menu
    Then choose from Look up usergroup: Registered Users

    you do not see Registered users group on list?
    Assuming that you have the Registered group in phpBB, but maybe i’m wrong, setting Forum view permission for Registered Group they should view forums.
    Isn’t it?
    I’ve not exactly understand how you achieve this

    registered group ids are 387 and 392 in my phpBB installation

    it is a behavior of an installed mod?

    1) in WP w3all phpBB plugin: to have a filter or config variables for default registered group ids (to have something else than 2 and 7).

    i have think to something that should display available phpBB Groups, where will be possible to select a default group where the new WP user should be added by default. But after i’ve not get any report about this possible issue that i’ve suppose come out if wrong settings about Gropus and Permissions in phpBB.

    in phpBB: show forums even though user is not belonging to any group in phpBB. Don’t know if this is possible.

    an user that not belong to any usergroup is a guest that make non sense, and of course a guest can view, and also post without restrictions.
    I’m around this to understand better, because maybe it has been coded basing the concept to default values, and may the code of course can be improved in case …

    in my installation i cannot remove the Registered user group, which belong to Pre-defined groups, so asking my self:
    how you’ve setup to be default on registration the other group?
    how you have remove the Registered users group (that should exist)?

    p.s
    When you have create the group you say, you should have set a
    Group rank
    for this Group: which value you’ve setup, if you’ve setup one?
    i think this can be achieved also by setting up on Users and Groups Tab -> User Ranks, which can be used to promote an user to a specific rank, when have a specified numbers of posts, maybe 0, and then setting up on Manage Groups -> Your Group, this rank to move this user automatically into this group.
    Hope my bad Eng has been sufficient clear and to be on same page.
