hello,

i got the module (for drupal 5.7!) working flawlessly yesterday after some testing.

really great one, i converted from smf 1.1.4 to phpbb 3 and then integrated it into drupal 5.7....

now, one thing:

the paths. i know it's been pointed out before a few times, but will it be possible to use other paths than phpbb3?

then, there is still the path "phpbbforum" hardcoded into the module at one point, i'm sure you're aware of that, too.

then, when you try to use phpbb3 "in window" (not iframe), the paths on the drupal-site are not correct if you installed drupal into a subdirectory like http://yoursite.com/drupal.
it refers to http://yoursite.com/phpbb3 instead to http://yoursite.com/drupal/phpbb3...

then.. some people (including me) had errors when creating new users in drupal, but with no error code.... to solve the problem, you have to check the password-rules in phpbb3.
you can specify a minimum password lenght, and if you try to register an user via drupal and use a password that doesn't match the password settings in phpbb3, it is not possible but you don't get any error code.
actually, it's very obvious but i was stumbling over it when i tried to register an user with either too short username or too short password.
just make sure it matches and it'll work fine.

the module is really great work, i hope you can improve those minor flaws in future releases as i'd really love to use it on a production-site.

i hope you understand my poor english :)

greetins!

Of course.

Drupal, not me creates this path from module name.

Unfortunately, in this module URL alias does not work (In SMFforum works)
I cannot fix this yet.

And including me.
Done.
Download latest dev release from 22.02.08 and test. Under D6 it works.
