 * I have separated the login integration I had within WPHPBB. For those of you 
   who didn’t want to completely replace your comment system but would like to integrate
   your WordPress and phpBB logins, this might do the trick.
    This does not directly
   modify your databases. More information here:
 * [wphpbb-login](http://www.happypoet.com/hackery/wphpbb-login)
 * What the plugin actually does:
    Redirects users to a login page which verifies
   the users login information with phpBB and logs them into WordPress accordingly.
   If the user doesnt exist in WP, then the user is created given the default role
   and logged in. If the users email or password changes (through phpBB), then the
   information is updated in WordPress.

 * Ok below is the get_userdata function in functions.php of phpBB2. If you look
   before and after it you will see, if (!function_exists . ….) and then an endif;
 * This is what I mean. You need to wrap the code for the specific function in this
   check to make sure it doesnt try to load it twice.
 * //
    // Get Userdata, $user can be username or user_id. If force_str is true, 
   the username will be forced. // if (!function_exists(‘get_userdata’))://added
   for wphpbb function get_userdata($user, $force_str = false) { global $db;
 *  if (!is_numeric($user) || $force_str)
    { $user = phpbb_clean_username($user);}
   else { $user = intval($user); }
 *  $sql = “SELECT *
    FROM ” . USERS_TABLE . “ WHERE “; $sql .= ( ( is_integer($
   user) ) ? “user_id = $user” : “username = ‘” . str_replace(“\'”, “””, $user) .“‘”).”
   AND user_id <> ” . ANONYMOUS; if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) ) { message_die(
   GENERAL_ERROR, ‘Tried obtaining data for a non-existent user’, ”, __LINE__, __FILE__,
   $sql); }
 *  return ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) ) ? $row : false;
    } endif; //Added
   for wphpbb

 * ok i’ve implemented all of that – yet on my wordpress page (www.janet-love.com/
   news) there doesn’t seem to be any change. As in it’s not redirecting to the 
   phpBB login page etc. Am i being completely stupid!?
 * Also when I try to save the options in the wphpbb-login in WordPress admin it
   doesn’t appear to keep them.
 * What does Level to Access Dashboard mean also?

 * Wilbur,
    I’m using wphpbb for my site, but when I activate the wphpbb-login plugin,
   my login sidebar goes blank, as in, there are no choices to click. This is regardless
   of whether any of the options are checked for integrating logins. Any suggestions?
   Thanks.
