Best way to integrate phpbb *without* merging users?

Post by calymari » Thu Jul 13, 2006 8:57 pm

Hello,

Could someone give me advice on how to integrate an existing phpbb forum with my Joomla site, without merging the 2 userbases?

I just want the forum areas to show up like regular content pages inside my Joomla site-- ie, showing the Joomla headers, footers, and sidebars instead of the phpbb ones.  All of the phpbb "bridges" I found by searching the extensions directory merge the users in some way... I guess that's what a bridge is for.  I may decide to merge the user bases sometime in the future, but not quite ready to take the leap yet.  For now I just want to make my forums look more like part of my website.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance. :)


EDIT:  Oops, just realized that this is probably the wrong section to post in. :(  Sorry to create more work for you mods... I don't see an option to delete my own post, unfortunately.

EDIT2:  Wow, I had no idea there was actually a separate forum about phpbb integration.  :-[  I wonder why these posts didn't come up when I tried to search the entire forum.  Feel free to close this; I'm pretty sure my question has already been answered somewhere, so I'll spend some time reading through some of the older threads.
