The Joomla! Forum ™

I installed a working phpbb bridge, it worked great, but I liked the look of SMF better.

This bridg from joomlahacks.com is actualy tim-online bridge "phpBB Bridge 1.2.4 RC3",Modifeid phpBB core to work within joomla.

I hope there will be soon bridge that sync user tables with phpbb and joomla (now when joomla 1.1 come out)

both actually.

A mambot that will save users to phpbb when they register and a modified phpbb install that will actually run inside joomla.

When I create a new user in Joomla, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in E:\Webserver\components\com_registration\registration.php on line 127

crow: Will this mambot or have you anything for that: Transfer old user that are in Joomla installation, i have 370 users so i need to transfer them to and sync with phpbb (that only have one adminphpbb user(so not confused with admin of joomla))

Adam: Actually, that will be part of the to be released component

Websmurf: Is the user directory in mambots writable?
Yes it is see image:

Will this component work without phpbbforum installed as component. I wonna use standalone phpbb and joomla but to sync them. Can i use this "waiting" component only for snyc.. Or you will relese only snyc component for us that wonna have forum and joomla separated.

THnx

You will have to open /components/com_registration/registration.php:

change line 114 from:
global $database, $acl;

to
global $database, $acl, $_MAMBOTS;

No needed. It should work with multiple databases as well..
Any message visible during registration?

Version 0.4 of the CB > PHPBB standalone bridge is complete, note that this is a beta version so it is a test version. I will write more features and fix bugs if found in next releases. Please tell me what u think in this topic, also post bugs and one more thing.... it is for the standalone version of PHPBB, so not for the PHPBB component and only for use on databses that run Joomla and PHPBB together. Support for seperate databases will come later....

Changelog:
08-11-2005 – Added delete option.
18-10-2005 – Added language files.
17-10-2005 – Added tab in user profile.
17-10-2005 – Release of 0.1 pre alpha.

Bridge features:
- When registering the new user will also be registered in PHPBB.
- When user profile is edited, changes will be made to PHPBB.
- In user profile, there is a tab showing the user posts in the forum.

TO DO:
- When using “forgotten password” feature, the password must be send to PHPBB.
- When creating a user in admin area, new user must be created in PHPBB.
- When user profile is edited using admin back-end, changes must be made in PHPBB.
- User can change their forum settings in profile manager, uploading avatars etc.
- Make it so that it is possible to run PHPBB on another databse, still using this bridge.
- Any suggestions?

WARNING:
Because I am a complete nood in writing PHP and mysql codes, I changed the way user id’s are assigned to users in PHPBB, no you don’t have to change core files, but during registration this plugin will use the user id from Joomla as the user ID for PHPBb… nothing else…. If you know a better method please mail me…

I need help with:
Can someone please tell me how i can get the password from the lost password function, because: "$_POST['newpass']" is not working because the new random created password is not in a form.. in other words how can i retrieve a variable that was created on another page?
