Quick question. With what is phpBB integrated with Joomla on this site?

Sorry, can't help you with that. The programmer who did it for us doesn't work for us anymore.

P.S. There are a few bridges out there, you may find one that actually works. Maybe the simple machine forum one.

Yeah, I've read about the bridges, but I wasn't sure if it was just something that bridged the login info or if it also integrated with the website, too.

Yeah, I'm trying to stay with phpBB since it's what my forum members and myself are used to

I used to have phpBB as a forum too - but just got really tired of it - so we switched to SMF - there are conversion tools to go from phpBB to SMF.

All in all my users are happier w/ the change - for me the nicest feature is spell check Razz

You know, after looking at the address bar for a second, I wonder if the Community Builder is installed for this site and the forums are integrated through that?

I'm trying to find a bridge that will integrate phpBB with CB. No luck so far...

Well, whoever their programmers were for this site, they were pretty bad ass, in my opinion. This is exactly how I would like to integrate phpBB with joomla

Which bridge have you tried?

Yes, this integration is exactly what I want.

Yeah, as long as the width of the forums expand in case I don't put modules on the right.

I would love to find a bridge or something to integrate phpBB through CB. If anyone knows of anything, the info would be more than appreciated. I've got a site that is getting more popular and I really want to do something to keep improving it. I purchased the News Portal and joined the Rockettheme Template club. Now I need to get everything put together.

I agree with Merav, fireboard is definately worth it, you can incorporate CB and PM's like Jim into it, and it feeds off your imagazine/joomla setup, you just need to create (at least I would suggest creating a seperate Database in your MySQL. You can see it on my site www.cellubration.com, I don't have PM or CB initiated right now as i'm doing some backend clean up, but you can see where it works, and you can use fireboard add-on's as I have done to display recents posts and much more! Plus if you have Advanced SEF you can see how I got a free addons to make the board SEF friendly as far as URL's go!
