Make your own PHP adoptables system

[Nick]

Question has probably been asked before, but...would you, Nick, or anyone, know how to connect a forum (phpbb) to a main site (script used is Mysidia Adopts). So that users will only have to register once to use both the forums and main portion?

Yup, search for "phpbb session integration". Here's a tutorial I found:

Okay, so one last (hopefully) question. I'm trying to get this members script to work: http://www.uzzisoft.cjb.net/ (php simple members system), and I'm not sure where to upload the files. I'm using 000webhost, and it says to upload the files, but should I upload them with the file manager, database restore, or phpbbmyadmin?

The file manager. Phpmyadmin is for editing the database. They have installation instructions on their page:

Could you make a tutorial on trading systems?

[Nick]

Unfortunately, that requires the use of a database, so it's a lot more complicated. A tutorial isn't likely to be any more useful than simply using a premade website like MyAdopts or http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/index.html

Thanks! Also, how do I run the script like they say? Do I just put the HTML for the main installation page on one of my pages, or do I do it some other way? Thanks ^^

Not sure, sorry.

One more question xD (Sorry I have so many, but I'm new to php coding)
I looked at the phpBB session integration that you linked there, and it's pretty much what I wanted. I followed a few links to this topic: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &p=3568905 which has a nice system. I tried to integrate it into my site, but every time I put this code on a page:

Code: Select all

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './phpBB3/';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
?>

The last 4 lines appear on the page, so that they show as just regular text. I even edited out this part:

Code: Select all

// Start session management

In case it was the problem, but the same thing happened. In the tutorial, it says to change your file extensions (I don't have any, unless it means page extensions. Mine are all .html, and I'm not sure how to change them), would that be the problem?

Would that work on MyAdopts?

I already have a program that came with the computer I'm using now that is just called "Notepad". Will it do the same job as "Notepad++"? This computer doesn't belong to me so downloading more programs than I absolutely need is something I'd prefer to avoid
