So I have everything setup and working just fine. My problem though is with the links generated in the blocks. I have phpbb installed as a subdomain, at forums.mysite.com. Now in the phpbbforum configuration, when I set the path, it knows where it is and recognizes the installation. However, in the sidebar, where I have it showing things such as the most recent topics, it automatically generates the links as mysite.com/forums, rather than as the proper subdomain URL. I have no idea if I have to alter the way the path is setup in the phpbbforum configuration, or if I have to change something else, or what. Or maybe I just can't do a subdomain with the module. Anyone have an idea?

According to the installation guide, it is not recommend to use a different domain

However, in this case, it is possible to use htaccess rewrite to change anything from say mysite.com/forums to forums.mysite.com. Might be something you can take a look

Which htaccess file? I just specifically need this module to stop autorewriting my urls to the improper ones.

Well, I did partially fix it with the htaccess. I'm still trying to fully figure out how to properly do a url rewrite, but I did get it to redirect. The URLs that are automatically generated in the Drupal block still say example.com/forums/viewtopic, but if someone clicks one of those links it automatically brings them to forums.example.com/viewtopic. So that works for now, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do a URL rewrite in the htaccess.

Has any progress been made on this?

I have installed my embedded forum at http://mydomain.com/forum and I would like to use http://forum.mydomain.com as the URL.

Any suggestions?

I could never get this module to work because of this issue.

Since it makes impossible to use the module for some people, it should be critical.

But i'm setting it to major until the author leaves his word.
