ensure there is no firewall blocking you (TCP/3306) … and… that the GRANT permissions on the phpbb database server are not restricted to @localhost

??

Hello,

I think there is some miss-understanding in this thread; the plugin is not restricted to a given browser, it uses the same “delete cookie function” for logout that WordPress uses… what is odd here is that Ffox/IE works and Chrome does not… I will update the plugin against the WordPress trunk and see if any fixes have been issued.

Hello,

Can you see if the development version helps? -> https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/root-cookie/trunk/root-cookie.php

I pushed a change a little while back to help wiziee, but their issue was chrome not deleting the cookie rather than a WP/root-cookie problem… what browser are you using?

Hello,

If both wordpress and phpbb are hosted with 1 & 1 it’ll probably be the 192.168.xxx address… if wordpress is at home on your laptop and you’re connecting to 1&1 it’ll be the IP of your mysql db… not necessarily phpbb.

whatever is the correct IP of the database you’ll need to ensure there is no firewall blocking you (TCP/3306) … and… that the GRANT permissions on the phpbb database server are not restricted to @localhost

For example, remember when you setup phpbb, you probably did something like this to create your DB and user…

CREATE DATABASE phpbbdb;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpbbdb.* TO "phpbbuser"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "mypassword";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

The @localhost means that you can only log in from the same server that the mysql runs … you need to replace @localhost with the ip address (or hostname) of the server which wordpress is logging in from…. this again is probably a 192.168 address if the server is in 1&1, if you’re at home you’ll need to use your public ip ( https://icanhazip.com )

If you have CLI (Shell / SSH) access to your wordpress server you can test connectivity from the WP server to the PHPBB server with the mysql CLI tool..

mysql -h mysql_server --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name

Good luck!

Oh.. I forgot to answer this…

is using the insecure connection required when servers are not the same?

Yes ??

Hello,

When I try the “insecure” thing, I fill my DB user, server and password but it tells me “connectivity to PHPBB failed”.

Are you filling in your PHPBB config.php credentials into the boxes?

Cheers,
Nick

Have you configured your DB permissions correctly? -> https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/phpbb-recent-topics/other_notes/

Hello,

You can safely remove line 261, 266, 267, 268 as these are the lines that show you about phpbb_recent_topics news ??

Hello,

There is a hack posted in trac -> https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/1173 adding this to the settings page is on my todo list ??

Hello,

There’s not a lot of detail to what your problem is, i.e. paste what code?, what are you trying to do?

Have you tried contacting the suffusion style developer?

Hello,
I have no other plugins installed / activated, but will drop you an email anyway ??
Cheers,

Hello,

I’ve just setup a test site with WP3.05 with PHPBB 3.08 and it all works for me.

It’s a quick test – so a clean install of both WP and PHPBB and using ‘insecure’ connectivity option from the plugin to phpbb … I’m running PHP 5.1.6 .

Please can you let me know what you’re running?

Lorelle, if you wish to send me your email address (linickx.com/contact) I’ll send you some details to access my test server.

Cheers,
Nick

Eh? What’s Couse WMT and bij ???

Change Line 143 of display.php from ..

echo "<a ";

to

echo "<a rel=\"nofollow\"";

Cheers,

Hello,

I’ve created a patch which will be included in the next version.

https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/1263

Make the appropriate changes to your display.php, and you should be able to use the prt_ul and prt_li classes to make them more “appealing” ??

Cheers,
Nick
