It looks like I have an approach then. Thanks for your help Maurice.

Re: Disable Phorum Change Password, Email & Profile Functionality - 15 years ago

Thanks for your feedback. I've discovered the parse_request hook. What I've done (at the moment) is intercept any GET/POST to the email, user and password panels and modified the request to take the user back to the summary panel in the control center. It seems to be a very easy and secure way of restricting access to the scripts I don't want available. Can you see any proble

Disable Phorum Change Password, Email & Profile Functionality - 15 years ago

Hi, I've successfully integrated phorum with our Drupal site. I now want to cleanly stop users changing passwords, email and profile settings from inside phorum since this functionality is already in Drupal and for ease of management we want all changes to go via Drupal. The first stage during beta testing was simply to hide the appropriate links inside the template. This isn't ac

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Using the portable phorum.php has worked extremely well and appears to have solved all the problems. Thanks for the heads up. Paul.

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Thanks Thomas - I wasn't aware of that functionality. Would I be looking to replace the content of the standard index.php with a variation of the example phorum.php in order to avoid the conflict? The documentation seems to suggest it's usage is geared more towards embedding phorum? My phorum install is just linked to Drupal - it's not running using the embedded options availabl

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Hi Joe, I wasn't having a dig at you (or anyone else for that matter). I appreciate all the work you've put in on this. Compared to any other forum I've looked at getting the integration to work has been very straightforward. Congrats on your daughter - I'm surprised you even have the energy to check for new posts! To let me move forward with the conflicting $user variab

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Yes, that's correct - once the phorum code has run the global $user variable that Drupal relies on has been overwritten with the phorum user. Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried it but it doesn't seem to have worked. I also implemented hook_end_output as that seemed to be the very last thing being called - that didn't work either unfortunately. I'm not too famili

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

I seem to be having a slightly one sided conversation here! Hopefully someone can help with this. I've found an issue which causes the user session to be terminated when they try to send a private message or access the control center. The issue is caused by a conflict in how Drupal uses global $user and line 115 in control.php: $user = $PHORUM['user']; Prior to this co

Re: Serving Phorum off Sub-domain Issue - 16 years ago

I didn't really get to the root cause but I discovered that if all these are true: The external authentication module is being used with the Drupal plugin $base_url variable is set in Drupal settings.php The user is anonymous User browses to forums.example.com (without index.php) Then at the point the Drupal boostrap is performed the main sites homepage is rendered instead of the forum

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Hi Damian, I was just about to post a fix for this. As you've found the module assumes Drupal uses the session DB table. I'm not sure why the session table is explicitly used - because a full drupal bootstrap has been performed the global $user is available. All I'll I've done is edit hook_user_session_restore.php and replace this code: foreach($_COOKIE as $sessi

Re: Serving Phorum off Sub-domain Issue - 16 years ago

Ah, I think I've found the start of my problem. I'm using the external authentication module - if I disable that module then forum.example.com works correctly. Paul.

Re: Serving Phorum off Sub-domain Issue - 16 years ago

Thanks Maurice. I've dropped the .htaccess already (I only tried it because it wasn't working the first place!). I've checked the DB to make sure the http path has been saved correctly and it's fine. Looking at net calls in firebug there are no redirects recorded. Visting forum.example.com results in the main site being loaded on that domain - as I said though this on

Re: Serving Phorum off Sub-domain Issue - 16 years ago

Http path is set to . I've tried with and without the .htaccess - either way it makes do difference in this instance. We use similar rewrite rules on other subdomains configured in the same way. Thanks, Paul

Serving Phorum off Sub-domain Issue - 16 years ago

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the phorum to correctly serve off my sub-domain. If I visit forum.example.com/index.php then the forum loads correctly. If I visit forum.example.com (without the index.php) the main site (ie. example.com) loads. Normally I'd assume this was a rewrite issue in .htaccess - and it may still be. I've changed the content of the index.php file just t

Re: Module: Search Engine Friendly URL's - 16 years ago

Oh. Out of all the answers I was expecting that wasn't one of them! I suppose I was expecting there to be some kind of chaining of the phorum_custom_get_url calls. I'm only a few days into my phorum learning curve. Looks like I'm going to be re-working one of the modules to stop them conflicting - not being able to get the single sign on and friendly urls would be a bit of a sho

Re: Module: Search Engine Friendly URL's - 16 years ago

Hi, I'm just going through getting phorum working correctly with my Drupal site. I've got the Drupal sign on working with the external authentication mod. I'm trying to get the SEF mod working now but when I enabled it I get the following error: Cannot redeclare phorum_custom_get_url() previously declared in ....phorum_module_external_authentication.module:205.

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Hi, Thanks for clarifying David. I've found a couple more little quirks/bugs in the drupal module, hope this helps: There's a typo in phorum_module_external_authentication.module on line 233. Instead of $GLOBALS it says "$GLABALS". This looks like it would impact the language used on the forum if it was anything other than English. In the "Phorum server path"

Re: Module: External Authentication - 16 years ago

Hi, Firstly just to say thanks for this mod and the Drupal plugin. It looks like an excellent solution and I've pretty much got it all working. One slight problem I've had is the call to phorum_mod_external_authentication_db_get_user in hook_user_session_restore.php. I was getting an undefined function call error. Adding include_once("./mods/external_authentication/db_b
