    I can see the way of visiting your forum file is different with other like this:
    http://www.iunderground.net/modules.php?name=phpBB3&file=viewforum

    Tapatalk will visite this file directly:
    http://www.iunderground.net/modules/phpBB3/mobiquo/mobiquo.php

    In this file, it will include file like this:
    $phpbb_root_path = '../';
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);


    Seems it failed to include file common.php at the root of forum. Is the mobiquo path a soft link and can not ".." to the forum root?

    Can you get it works

    common.php is indeed there. I have phpbb3 imbedded within phpnuke, so it calls things differently.

    When attempting to visit: http://www.iunderground.net/modules/phpBB3/mobiquo/mobiquo.php

    I get this:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function session_begin() on a non-object in /home/mrdecrypter/iunderground.net/modules/phpBB3/mobiquo/mobiquo.php on line 25.

    It is a nuke error, usually means the table that it is referrencing is missing.

    OK. I have it. I don't know if you want to consider this a permanent solution or just a temp work around, but this is what i did.

    For those of you who are using Phpnuke with a Phpbb3 connector, like i am, do the following:

    Note: This is assuming you already have phpnuke working with your own working phpbb3 forum ALREADY installed.

    1. Install another phpbb3 into your top level domain. i.e. http://www.mysite.com/phpBB3/. Allow the installer to create its own standard phpbb_ tables within your SQL server db, as you can just delete them later.

    2. Remove/rename the install directory within the new install, as directed.

    3. Open the config.php file in the new directory and find the line that looks like: $table_prefix = $prefix . 'phpbb_';

    Replace the phpbb_ with your actual table prefix from your pre-existing database. i.e. nuke_bb3

    4. Install the tapatalk/mobiquo files into the new phpbb3 directory and follow the directions for tapatalk given for your setup.

    Tadaaaa. Also, keep in mind that if you get new users that register through the newer reg page, the phpnuke site will not recognize them through the standard login.php block/module. The best solution is to change your phpbb3 registration page to point to the nuke registration page instead. Enjoy!
