I ran into a small problem when a user had "_" in his username. Got a pretty nasty globalfunctions error on my Nucleus pages. I think the problem is that Nucleus wants alphanumeric characters. I'm not a php programer so this is just a pathetic attempt from a novice, but this is what I did to fix the issue:

NP_phpbb.php
Quote:

// strip extra chars in username so it will fit in database
$userdata['username'] = substr($userdata['username'],0,16);
// if username is nonalphanumeric strip funny chars
if (!ctype_alnum($userdata['username'])) {
$remove = array("~","`","!","@","#","$","%","^","&","*","_","-","=","+","[","]","|",".",",","?");
$userdata['username'] = str_replace($remove, "", $userdata['username']);
}
//At this point, we've determined who that the user is who he/she says he/she is.
//Now we need to load his/her nucleus user record.
if($member->readFromName($userdata['username'])){
ACTIONLOG::add(DEBUG, "{$userdata['username']} externally authenticated through NP_phpBB");


If anyone has a better way to write this or a more complete array that would be great. Wink


***EDIT***
I found another error caused by the different sizes of phpbb and nucleus member fields. Phpbb uses 25 and nucleus uses 16 so I stripped the last part of the users username. Now she works.

This plugin caused far too many problems for me.

By stripping symbols you allow malicious users to create nickname collisions.

My forum is located at domain forum.domain.net while blog is located at domain.net/blog.
After setting cookies to function like domain.net i've started to experience problems with phpBB session management (like unread topics).

Also I've experienced huge problems with localized nicks and long nicks.

I've stopped using it and it took some time to restore all the settings back to normal (profiles, comment links, etc).



What I would really like to see is some feature to use phpBB for comments - Add Comment will show exact link to forum's post (with a content of a blog item) and number of comments.

Maybe then just convert phpBB to punBB and use the NP_punBB plugin that does just that. That is what I did with my forum because I quit using the gallery software integration that required phpBB.

Forum has 4 year history. It has more than 60k posts. It would be a stupid idea to convert hightly optimized forum to punBB just because of Nucleus that has only 30 entries.

Hi there, can someone give me a hand installing this?

My AIM is : LeFishy1
My MSN is : hob_is_skill@hotmail.com
My Gmail is : mat.hop@gmail.com

This would be a great help as I am just setting up a page. I am trying to get this to work with "NP_NewMemberBlog" So that each member has a space to write their blog.
