PHPBB3 User Session Integration

[lostcommander]

Hello and thank you for reading this! This is REALLY strange to me and I am quite lost at this point as to what might be happening or why.

Background:
I am trying to integrate MediaWiki, PHPBB3, and some of my own coded pages into a single, unified site, using a single session controller and single set of user accounts. MediaWiki has a plugin that sets it to use the PHPBB3 user accounts (I'll mess with unifying those sessions later) so I was going to use PHPBB3 as the central authentication piece/control. I found some code in a KB article on site session integration that I copied and some stuff on passing the session id around, both of which I am now using.

Problem:
If a user goes to my board, logs in, then goes to my personal area, everything works fine as it should. However, if a user goes to my personal area first, they are served the PHPBB guest-view board index page instead of the guest-view of my personal area page. The URL in the address bar says that the browser is displaying my page, but it has served the PHPBB3/index.php page.

Board Index Page: http://www.vrexchange.com/forum/index.php
My Page: http://www.vrexchange.com/trade/index.php

My page SHOULD look like a simple 2x3 cell table with a small amount of text and a couple random images (real content will be put in later - working on the backend of things first).

Looks like something had done a rewrite.
Look in any .htaccess files for Rewrites.

There is no .htaccess-fu being done anywhere on my small site. No mod_rewrite, no redirects.

The problem is that you've set it to 'under construction' mode. That takes precedence over the rest, I believe.

Try not setting to 'under construction' mode to try, and if it doesn't work, post the code of you index file here (strip out any sensitive information).

Doh! I never even considered that. Yeah, if I enable the board then the guest views work as intended. I had disabled them when I first installed it so it would be hidden while I worked on it and other sections. Thanks!

I've had my share of phpbb3 integration... I used to know that thing on the tips of my fingers!
I though that I had forgotten everything, but it seems not!

Anyways, it's always a pleasure to help!
