This Community does not work with GForum, if I click "Log Out" from Gforum, I get the community "loged out succesful page", but then when I go back to GForum, I am still logged in, Why?

I know its a beta, but I can't get it to work for logging in/out of GForum, at all.

I just bought Gmail for $650 but I don't want to use it until I get community working properly with GForum and GMail.

Thanks

Mike

Here is what I found so far,

a) I should not have the Community admin username the same as my forum username, so I changed the admin user in community to something else

b)there is a field called com_clr_pass and if it has the clear text password in it, the log in/out works

OK, so how do I populate the com_clr_pass field on import from GForum users? Am I the only one having trouble?

Thanks for any help

... answering my own question..

Here is my install notes that got it working for me (on a test system!): When installing Community with GForum, don't set Community admin username the same as your forum username, or you won't be able to log out of GForum properly!

Edit community.conf, set
'system_store_clear_pass' => '1',
'system_store_md5_pass' => '0',
(only because I have it set that way in GForum, I am using clear text passwords in GForum) I can't find these settings in Comm, so I had to hand edit the community.conf file

Install Authorize_Community plugin in GForum Plugin install wizard

Install Application GForum in community application install settings

Import users from GForum using defaults fields
(bug in status, it stays at 0%_________, but installs fine)

Run these SQL statements in the Community SQL Monitor:

UPDATE comm_users SET comm_clr_pass=comm_password
(copies the clear text passwords from comm_password to comm_clr_pass colums, otherwise users can't log --required only if you are using clear text passwords--)

UPDATE comm_users SET app_GForumTEST_user_id=comm_id
(properly load user ID for GForum application)

Update comm_users set app_GForumTEST = '2'
(properly load application permissions for GForum application)

After executing an UPDATE statement, it says, "Your query returned 0 rows." when infact, it updated 4573 records. is this a bug in SQL Monitor?


I am off to install GMail now. :)

I don't think that looks right. The app_GForumTEST_user_id should equal their userid in Gossamer Forum, not their own community id. Sounds like a bug in the import (when doing the import, double check the mappings and make sure your app column matches up with user_id from Gossamer Forum).

You said "make sure your app column matches up with user_id from Gossamer Forum"



Here is an image of my GForum import, I can't find "app column".





Thanks for helping, I am sure when Community is finished it will be a fine product like the others you have made, and thanks for making it free. I am counting on it to be able to tie together GMail and Gforum so my users will enjoy a single log-on.

Thanks

Hi,

You want to add 'ID' from the Gossamer Forum list, and match it up with your Gossamer Forum User ID column (probably listed at the end on the Community side).

You can also match up the two clear password columns and save yourself one of the manual sql updates.

You were right, I was able to

Match "ID" in "import from" column with "Gossamer Forum User ID" in "import to" column.

I was not able to ...

Match "password" in "import from" column with "clear password" in "import to" column.

... because "password" is already matched with "password", and you can only assign one "import from" field to one "import to" field.

I still have to run the statement UPDATE comm_users SET comm_clr_pass=comm_password
