Can I use phpbb or IPB forums with xoops?
http://bbpixel.com is a site dedicated to integrating these 2 forum scripts within xoops. Installing them does however, require changes to core files, so updating your xoops version core files may overwrite any changes.
There are also import data scripts for bringing existing users/posts etc.
Recently there has been a release of a modularised phpbb forum for xoops that does not change core files. Project is HERE
This is a phpbb module (using bbpixel's work as a base), properly using Xoops Groups (currently not allowed in bbpixel's port), along with bug-fixes, code cleanup, phpbb hacks, etc. The project will attempt to remove all xoops core hacks, or at least provide a module that functions *without* the hacks, and have the hacks installable separately. This is a branch from future phpbb/bbpixel releases.

Random question
I registered an account on our website and want to post my themes into "Theme Library" section for advertising. When I click on link of "Add the latest version of your own theme to the Library", the page said that: "You are not allowed to submit files".
My question is: How do I post a theme into "Theme Library" section?
Please answer.
Thank you very much

I would suggest we give a 'stronger' reminder/note that if we choose to use modules with a core hack, it will cause forward compatibility issue with future XOOPS versions (and potentially security issue, due to incapability to keep upgrading the xoops/phpbb to the latest version). We will be really rely on bbpixel to provide the upgrade.
, even the latest XOOPS 2.0.9 version ).
[ Just as a background, please don't take my message below negatively or as an attempt to discredit someone else. I just hope the leason I learnt can be an input for the other new Xoopers.
I picked BBPixel’s X-PHPBB as my forum module for my XOOPS website (due to the reason I have ever had an experience with the phpBB previously). What I didn’t aware of is that it changes some of the Xoops’ core files. Being a non programmer, I experienced difficulties in upgrading the XOOPS and the PhpBB then.
Until now I can’t upgrade my XOOPS to the newest version and can’t also upgrade the phpbb to the newest version which is actually really required due to some security holes exist in the current version. It is not BBPixel’s fault, I can understand that the developer’s of X-PHPBB must be busy and have other priority (unfortunately X-PHPBB does not have enough communities which can share the required changes need to be applied to the module; different with X-IPB, I saw that it’s been updated regularly by m0nty
Please just use core hacks and modules with core hacks ONLY IF you are an experienced php programmer/Xoops programmer. This kind of hacks can cause forward compatibility issue with future XOOPS versions. ]
