I've been wrestling with it the past two weeks and I've come to understand what it's supposed to mean. I'd be willing to do the initial work on it.

This will sound stupid, but I'm a bit new to contributing stuff back to Drupal. How do I submit my INSTALL.TXT changes back?

Thanks for help.
You may attach it here. I will rewiew it and will include all or partly in the next release.

Ok, thanks VB! BTW, great work on this integration module!

There's only one thing in the phpBBforum settings that I'm completely unsure about. It's the "phpBB Authentication Test." Is that a setting or is it a status that changes depending on if the phpBB Authentication process succeeds or not?

I had a pretty tough time with the module. It or somthing else cause my test site to crash. Will take another shot at it soon and will include my notes.

I think sections would help a lot but here's some quick thoughts:

1) Requirements
- Clean URLS
- Mysql / php 5.x

2) Working configuration examples
- IIS 7
- Apache 6

3)Basic setup
- basic installation
- syncronizing drupal with phpbb
-accounts / perms
-block config

4) Advanced configuration
- integrating phpbb into drupal
- theme config

Title: install.txt needs a lot of help » Rewrite of INSTALL.TXT File

Captaingeek, what do you mean by "cause my test site to crash?" Are you getting fatal errors or blank screens?

BTW, I'm hoping to get around to rewriting the INSTALL.TXT file in about a week.

not sure what it was and im not saying this module caused it. yeah it was blank screens. it was just a test site and is gone now.

I assume that you have display_errors set to on. If that's indeed the case, just about every time that I get an error that results in only a blank screen and no error message the cause is a function name collision. I'll have something like a function named "user_node" in my template.php file instead of "mytheme_user_node" and since Drupal isn't object oriented, we can't have two identically named functions executed at the same time.

I recently had problems with the spacer.gif. I had copied the images folder to drupal, but I used a custom theme, so the editor.js pointed to the wrong location. Please include that in the INSTALL.txt. Something like "Unless you're using one of the embed themes, you need to edit the template/editor.js and change the path to spacer.gif, even if you've copied the image folder to drupal.".
