Good afternoon, I installed the latest version of Community plugin, is there compatibility issues in the mobile version ?. I have these problems with the plugin:

In the mobile version does not show the "add photos" and fill in the information, you have to see the gallery in version "desktop" to display the "add photos".

After sending the photo from the mobile version "desktop" not the page is "Your photos are awaiting approval."

Is there a way to always display the gallery on the phone as "desktop"?

thanks for your quick response.

KungFuJosh, you didn't had this problems with PhpBB 3.1.9 ?

Login works for me in 3.0.14 , but i have many errors when try to access user list in Admin dashboard

I posted a reply on the phpBB thread here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop … ;t=2348721

This forum is for the community plugin, and this issue isn't about the plugin.

I had 3 errors but I fixed 2 of them by changes to the community plugin files. So how is this not a community plugin problem?
Maybe you can make a specific thread for the External authentication + Community plugin that will help to have more concentrated discussions.

Our errors have nothing to do with Phpbb3, it's a Piwigo problem. Those errors will be to any software that has in that table ($conf['users_table'] =...) an identical column name with the ones normally used by Piwigo. And some Piwigo developers already understanded this http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p … 03#p155803
They are very common names to those tables, probably many software are affected by this. We already know about PHPBB and SMF.

For me the most frustraing thing is that Piwigo development seems to be dead, plg / flop25 / rvelices seems to be mostly inactive on the forum this days. I have read some more older threads regarding external authentication and they used to respond to users. Now as you can see we are talking with ourselfs.
I even reported the errors to Github and ... nothing [Github] Piwigo-community issue #15

Your other two issues were specific to the plugin, but the 3rd issue might be specific to Piwigo, exclusive of the plugin.

Basically, Piwigo should remove the use of "user_id" from the script entirely. They should have it be unique as pwg_user_id in all references to it, and that would most likely fix the issue. I might setup a test install to try that theory out if I need to (database will require changes too, so maybe a fresh install). First I'm looking at another option to read the user info from the database without using the aliasing method we're currently using.

When I changed the column name "user_id" in "phpbb_users" table in my database to something unique, the errors disappear, and the user list in Piwigo admin worked fine. So that tells us the error is specific to the use of "user_id." Obviously I had to change the column name back for phpBB to work.

I decided to go ahead and do a test install of Piwigo, first replacing user_id with pwg_user_id in all the source code. Then I did a fresh install of my modified Piwigo version. I did the same string replace of user_id with pwg_user_id on the Community plugin.

I then exported my phpbb_users table with over 30,000 users in it, and imported it into my new Piwigo database.

I modified the config_default.inc.php file with the following code (note that my password hash is for phpBB 3.1.x, phpBB 3.0.x uses md5 instead of password_hash):

// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | phpBB MODS                                                        |
// +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

$conf['users_table'] = 'phpbb_users';
$conf['external_authentification'] = true;
$conf['user_fields'] = array(
  'id' => 'user_id',
  'username' => 'username',
  'password' => 'user_password',
  'email' => 'user_email'
  );
$conf['password_hash'] = create_function('$s', 'return password_hash($s);');
$conf['password_verify'] = 'pwg_password_verify';
$conf['guest_id'] = 1;
$conf['default_user_id'] = $conf['guest_id'];
$conf['browser_language'] = true;
$conf['webmaster_id'] = 2;
$conf['guest_access'] = false; // change this one if you want
$conf['insensitive_case_logon'] = true;

I would not recommend using "username_clean" for the username field because that would result in all the new user albums being created with lowercase names.

I did the following as recommended, even though most of it is not necessary on a fresh install:

delete from piwigo_user_access;
delete from piwigo_user_cache;
delete from piwigo_user_feed;
delete from piwigo_user_group;
delete from piwigo_user_infos;
delete from piwigo_sessions;
delete from piwigo_rate;
update piwigo_images set rating_score = null, added_by = <webmaster_id>;
delete from piwigo_caddie;
delete from piwigo_favorites;

I then logged in with my phpBB admin username. It worked flawlessly. I was able to view the user manager page in the admin fine.

I activated the Community plugin and the user manager in the admin still worked fine. I did not need to do the other mods done before to fix the Community plugin. All errors were a result of the use of user_id in the Piwigo source code.

Obviously doing this method on the user end will need to be repeated for future updates, and Piwigo should implement it themselves and save us the trouble. I'm going to see if I can manipulate the way Piwigo is accessing the database to work better with phpBB, but I'm not sure if it will work or not. Most of what I've seen is already being aliased.

EDIT:
I did a more in depth post on the phpBB piwigo bridge forum.

i just installed Community plugin 2.8.a for Piwigo, when a user uploads a picture I am getting an email, even though i have the system set to high trust.  is there a way to stop the admin from getting this email?

By the way, if you're interested... It was really easy for me to integrate WordPress + bbPress with Piwigo. I put the guide here: http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26823

Hi,

How can I get the HTML uploader to work? I'd also like to make it the default option.

I do not have Flash on my computer (nor do I want to install it!).

Every time I click the 'Browser uploader' link it just goes to the home page, but appends &upload_mode=html to the URL.

I've tried different browsers with the same results.
