4 Feb 2008 - 01:01
We are pleased to announce that after a three months of heavy development the new phpBBforum Integration module has been released!
phpBBforum Integration module provides integration with phpBB3 Forum http://www.phpbb.com/.
The project page on a official Drupal site is http://drupal.org/project/phpbbforum.
Features:
- can be used on a working site and forum with existing users;
- authentication and synchronyzation in both directions;
- automatic creation of users;
- synchronyzation of account info usernames, passwords, emails, signatures, avatars (for drupal admin id = 1 and phpBB admin id = 2 username, password, email do not sync for security)
- synchronyzation of profile info when drupal profile module is enabled;
- support of drupal profile, signatures_forum, avatar_selection, birthdays modules;
- forum can work in the full window or in frame inside drupal, integration in a drupal page is under development.

#2 Re: phpBBforum Integration module released
I tried to follow your guide, but I was so confused that I have to give up.
"Files to Edit
includes/functions_user.php (this was ok to understand)
Included Files
root/styles/*.* " (but I don't undersrand what to do her)
"Use your keyboard to navigate the code boxes. You may also hit 's' on your keyboard to go to the first code box." ( ? )
File Copy
Copy: root/styles/*.*
To: styles/*.* (I'm sorry, but what should I really do?)
Save all files. End of MOD (Isn't it only "functions_user.php" to edit?)
I tried SMF-integrasion and that was successfull. But I want to make this one to. So if someone can help me I will be gratfull, but remember that I'm not a programmar.

Things goes better.
I have a post on groups.drupal. ( http://groups.drupal.org/node/8736 )
I hope this will go fine. I think several persons are following this because drupal own forum isn't so good yet.
Have i nice week-end

like you can see, I posted on a wrong place, but still it is real. I will post it on the correct place so everybody can read about it. I will use this module on an another site if phpbb-module will function on that site. We are an supportsite for Drupal in Norway so it's best for us to test every module of interest, and so I will make a bookpage about my knowledge with link to your site.

Feel free to ask.

#5 Great Work
Does this take info from the normal forums and put it into phpbb as well? I have this installed but nothing from my pre-existing forums are in there. How do I get that in there?
#6 phpbbforum-6.x-1.x-dev установка на Денвер
Огромнейшая просьба, распишите пожалуйста пошагово, как правильно синхронизировать phpbb3.0.4 и Drupal 6.6. Стоит Денвер.
Вроде бы все поставил правильно, пользователи синхронизируются. Но информация синхронизируется только из Друпала в phpbb. Если менять информацию в профиле форума, то в друпале ничего не обновляется. Кроме этого, форум открывается только в отдельном окне, в станице друпала (не смотря на выставленную галочку открывать форум во фрейме) форум не открывается. По сслыке снова открывается во все окно.
Заранее спасибо!!!
