Help with linking register button to off site forums

Hi,

Im trying to figure out if I can link the login and register buttons to my forums, So this way when they register for my nuke site they will also register for the forums. I dont want to use the inframe PHPNUKE Ones. I also need to find out how to add all my members on the forums to the nuke site? Is this possible?

Here is my site www.baudod.com
here is my forums www.baudod.com/forums

Ok first things first :

1, is your phpbb database loaded to the same database name as your nuke site or vise versa. if not, they need to be so download (Export) your nuke database ( full Structure & data ) load (sql) that up into your phpbb database, assuming your Nuke prefix is nuke_ & your phpBB is phpbb_ this wont be a problem.

2, open your Nuke config.php file and edit the following :

Code:

$dbuname = "ENTER YOUR PHPBB DATABASE USERNAME";
$dbpass = "YOUR PHPBB DATABASE PASSWORD";
$dbname = "YOUR PHPBB DATABASE NAME";
$prefix = "nuke"; THIS STAYS THE SAME 
$user_prefix = "nuke"; CHANGE THIS TO THIS  $user_prefix = "phpbb";

So basically this means anyone registering on your nuke site will now become automatically a member of your phpbb forum site & vise versa.

Also I noticed your board still has a link to your Nuke forums you can remove that link in admin Modules, click edit on Forums and select not shown in modules block.

The next thing you could do is edit you header.html file, there you will find a link to forums, something like this

Code:

<a href=modules.php?name=Forums>[b]Forums</a>

So change that link to something like this

Code:

<a href=forums[b]Forums</a></td>

FINAL NOTE! backup both databases before trying this : Yes "Trying" I have never done this myself, however the principle is correct. If another Staff member or someone could confirm this, please do.

I got this error when trying to go to the site after that.

Warning: head(themes/theme.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bauclan/public_html/header.php on line 31

Warning: head(themes/theme.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bauclan/public_html/header.php on line 31

Warning: head(): Failed opening 'themes/theme.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/bauclan/public_html/header.php on line 31

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: themeheader() in /home/bauclan/public_html/header.php on line 47

Anything I can do to fix this?
Do you need to see my config.php?

Okay, I got that fixed, know it shows all the users, but I can't login or if I try to register it gives me this error

(File does not exist: /home/bauclan/public_html/favicon.ico).

I almost got it, so what can I do to get this working?

Emm thats a new one on me, have you looked to see if the file is actualy there in your root/ directory (public_html)

Also please note iam having some bradband issues at the moment so if anyone eles could continue this thread, that would be great.

PS: if at any time you cant get this to work, just put your config.php file, user_prefix back to nuke.
