APK login to phpbb
This is something that we as a group are looking into so i thought i would ask here.
We have a basic android app that we want to share with our facebook group, however we dont want just anyone being able to use the app.
My question: Is there a way that your API could integrate the app and our phpbb forum (we are rebuilding the forum and plan to use social login on the forum, working absolutely perfect on a test). What we really need: for users to be able to login to the app via social login and the app checks phpbb that they are:
A. a registered user
B. they are in a specific group or groups if we include moderator and admin
if the above returns true then allow access to the app.

Hi,
Just some comments, but no solution:
- there is a mobile SDK for Social Login that you can use for your app. But, this is not connected to PhpBB though,
- PhpBB, AFAIK, does not yet have an API you could use from your app to check permissions, you could always hack something together though,
- So, maybe the mobile app can login to PhpBB, with Social Login, to achieve both functions?

Hi,
One starting point could be the Oneall callback URL.
In case of a successful social login, the user gets redirected to a URL of your choice.
That URL may actually be a PHP script that looks up the DB as you mention.
There could be alternatives based on where the look up originates from (ex: JS), but a server-side script gives you security because the DB credentials would be on the server.
You would know better on the alternative options (mobile) though!
Hope this helps.

I think i could write a php file that would check the user row in the database and return back true or false for group id then return a json statement of true or false. Im just not sure where to start with it, I am starting to understand a little more though which is always a good thing.
Shadow Fight 2 MOD APK looks amazing! With everything unlocked, unlimited coins, and God Mode, it makes the game so much fun and stress-free. I love that you can fight bosses like Titan easily and even play offline without ads. This version really helps enjoy all the action without waiting or grinding. https://theshadowfight2.pro/
Yes, you can link your app with phpBB by using its API or extensions—basically, the app would send a request to phpBB to verify if the user is registered and belongs to the right group before giving access. This setup works well with social login too. For a lighter example of Android gaming, you can see how apps like Zombie Catchers are shared online: https://zombiecatcherapk.com/
I recently started playing the WE999 game, and it has been such a fun experience for me! The gameplay is smooth, the design feels modern, and the challenges keep me excited to play more. I like how it’s easy to get started but still has that addictive quality that makes you want to keep going. The rewards and progression make it even more enjoyable, and I never get bored of logging in. I’ve already told a couple of friends about it, and they’re hooked too. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game, WE999 is definitely worth a try!
Hey, reading about controlling access to your app really reminded me how tricky it can be to find a reliable way to unwind after a long day of troubleshooting. I had a night like that after a series of losing casino spins, and to take a break I ended up on spinmacho out of curiosity. I tried a few casual slots, then went for a bigger bet on Book of Dead and finally hit a win that completely lifted my mood. Now it’s my favorite way to reset when projects get frustrating.
Logging in from an APK to phpBB is possible, but it requires proper API integration and secure authentication. Direct login without security measures can be risky.

“Thanks for the helpful explanation — integrating APK login with phpBB can be tricky at first, but seeing real examples of how others solved it makes the process much clearer. Double-checking your API endpoints and auth settings usually helps resolve most issues. Also, on a fun note, I’ve been enjoying Rope Hero Mod APK lately — the open-world action and cool abilities make it a great way to unwind while working through development challenges!”
