Firstly, Create a new user for testing purposes using the JFusion Login Module.
Note: The Admin user will not sync for any software which is why we need to create a test user.
Dual Login from Joomla! side:-
In Joomla, go to Components > JFusion > Plugin Configuration >
Make sure there is a green check under ‘Dual Login’ for the phpbb3 plugin.
In Joomla, go to Components > JFusion > Plugin Configuration > Edit phpbb3
1. Put a dot ( . ) infront of ‘Cookie Domain’ example: .yourdomain.com
2. Note the name of the ‘Cookie Prefix’ so you can match it in the cookie setting in phpbb. Or you can change this to whatever you want but it must match the settings in phpbb.
3. Make sure ‘Cookie Path’ and ‘Allow Login Cookie’ have a forward slash ( / ).
In phpbb3, go to General > Server Configuration > Cookie Settings
1. Put a dot ( . ) infront of ‘Cookie Domain’ example: .yourdomain.com (The domain must match the domain used in ‘JFusion phpbb plugin’ and of course must be your actual domain.
2. Name the ‘Cookie name’ exactly the same as the settings in the JFusion phpbb plugin.
3. Make sure the ‘Cookie path’ has a forward slash ( / ).
Delete all your browser cookies.
Login with your test user.
Dual Login from phpBB side:-
As JFusion does not modify or hack the integrated software, the default component allows for a setup where when one logs into or out of the Joomla side, he/she is automatically logged into the phpBB side.
One of the JFusion community member has developed a phpBB auth plugin which allows dual login to take place even from the phpBB side i.e. when a person logs in or out of phpBB the same takes place on the Joomla side.
Follow the following steps for the same.
1. Download the file here.
2. Copy the downloaded file to {your_forum_directory}/includes/auth directory.
3. Proceed to the phpBB ACP. Search for the ‘Client Communication’ Category in the left column. Click the ‘Authentication’ under it.
4. On the ‘Authentication’ page set ‘Select an authentication method’ to ‘Db_joomla’ from the drop down box. Save the changes.
5. Dual Login from phpBB has been setup.
For any issues with phpBB dual login please post it in this thread.
