- What it change into my phpBB?
Nothing, it do not add nothing into database (only update data when required) and execute redirects or cURL calls to WordPress (it depend by activated options you'll use) when required.
- Is it secure?
Yes.
Once installed the extension will accomplish easily with this:
when an user update emails in phpBB profile, password or site url, both phpBB UCP or ACP, the same will happen into the linked WordPress, for the WordPress user with same email.
Based on the config.php file activated options, the extension allow to add users into WordPress at same time, when they register in phpBB or to redirect users after login. Or to check for existence of username or email in WP, before to register into phpBB.
Read more below.
How to use/configure
UPDATE:
If using old version, disable it into phpBB ACP, then delete data.
Delete the folder /ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration
and replace with new files.
Setup the /ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration/custom/config.php file, re-activate
OR (new install)
Copy the folder w3all with inside the extension phpbbwordpressintegration
into the root phpBB ext folder, so you'll have:
/ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration/
Open up the file with a text editor:
/ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration/custom/config.php
add WordPress db connection values of the WordPress database you want linked to with the phpBB and
activate user's addition and redirect options if needed, following instructions that are all within the same file
Save the file.
Activate the extension.
Now, when an user or an admin, will go to change/update email or password or profile url in phpBB, the same, for the same user with same email, will happen into WordPress.
Redirects and users addition into WordPress at same time when user register in phpBB (if options activated)
Time after time may some option will be added, so the self-explained config.php will contain the new option to be activated, if needed.
May immediately test an user's email update. If you get phpBB db error, mean that db configuration values are wrong, Double check for correct connection values the file
/ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration/custom/config.php
If it succeed with no errors, it is all right!
To know how to configure the phpBB extension about redirects and user registration in WP at same time (registration at same time if used together with the integration plugin WordPress phpBB installed in WordPress) open up and read the (self explained)
/ext/w3all/phpbbwordpressintegration/custom/config.php
