Integrating phpBB/Other forum?

[techiem2]

I know there was a topic at some point about integrating phpBB into S9y, but I can't seem to find it.

Has anyone successfully integrated a forum into s9y and if so how?

Also, do you have it setup so that the forums share the blog user accounts?
If so, how are the accounts created (i.e. via s9y or forum)?

Thanks.

I have not yet seen such a thing in a working environment.

The technical idea though is easy - you could patch phpBB to validate against your own s9y authorbase. Or the other way around - you authenticate the s9y authors on the phpBB authorbase. That may be the easier way to get it done.

Have a look at our serendipity_event_externalauth plugin, this one authenticates against LDAP. You could patch it to validate against the phpBB author tables.

Implementing the phpBB files themselves is similar to the gallery inclusion. Search the forums for that, but it's rather hard to setup.

Thanks. Guess I'd forgotten it was gallery and not phpbb someone had embedded (I want to do that too anyhow).
hehe.

Has anybody integrated it until now? I would like to have te comment functions integrated with the phpbb. Do you think it is easy?

punbb works with nucleuscms.
perhaps getting punbb with s9y won't be that hard. just a thought
