Missing folder

Post by Soberbender »

Hello!
I don't have a "wp-w3all-config" folder in my "addons" folder.
Config file is located in the "admin" folder. I guess I just don’t understand something)).
I was reading instructions on how to set an absolute path and came across this problem. Help me please.

The entire thing about that works like this:

if you activate the option:
Use custom files to display Last Topics Widgets, Login Widget and Shortcodes
then you have to create
into:
wp-content/plugins

create a folder named:
wp-w3all-custom
so you'll have:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-custom

into it you have to put all files that are inside the folder:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/views

.... so explained and done in another way, that make things short,
copy/paste the folder
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/views
into the
wp-content/plugins folder
and rename it in
wp-w3all-custom

so you'll have
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-custom

If the option is so active, now the plugin will load these files, so that you can edit those files and get
your own results: when the plugin will be updated, you'll not loose these edited custom files.

Explain: when a plugin being updated, all files are deleted and replaced, while using the created folder wp-w3all-custom you'll not loose custom modifications into the views edited files.

For any question and if any other problem just post!

The plugin is on the way to be updated and deeply improved in very short time.
But the above way to use custom views files will never change.

Thank you!
I'll try to do this. Even though it's terrible for me))
But in theory, I only need automatic registration on both resources. When registering on the site, register on the forum. And vice versa - if a user registers on the forum, so that he registers on the site.
I’ll even be happy if registration goes in one direction. From the forum to the website or vice versa. It is better that when a person registers on the forum, he also registers on the website.
Can this be done easier than setting up all these settings that are difficult for me? I'm not an IT specialist and I have a hard time with these exercises :))

Registrations can be in both directions, but if you install the phpBB WP phpBB extension into phpBB:
viewtopic.php?t=1783
updates that are done into phpBB, immediately are applied in WP.
Or until the user will not visit WP, updates do not take effect.

While the plugin is installed/active in WP but without the integration extension installed in phpBB:

with
registrations disabled in WP:
users register in phpBB, BUT until they do not login in WP (will be added on fly at this time if not already existent) or coming as logged into phpBB, they do not visits WP, they are not added into WP.

registration allowed only in WP: even without the extension installed into phpBB, users are immediately added into phpBB and all updates are immediately effective in phpBB when done in WP side.
But without the extension installed into phpBB, user's profile updates happens in WP, only when the same user will visit WP.

Remember: this is a WP plugin, so it run only when the user surf WP!

This plugin can be used with a mix of things that practically, let it be so easy to accomplish with any complex or easy intent to configure the phpBB WP integration. Very easy to manage things.

Take a look:

Just post if any problem or doubt, i will try to give a fast solution :D

Thanks!
I installed your extension for phpbb. Are there any special settings required in order to set up registration for WordPress through the forum?
I'll start small and then see. Perhaps later I will pluck up the courage and fully configure the interaction between the two sites.
