Is there a mod out there which allows XOOPS to be SMF compatible. I really like using SMF however i'm not a great coder and dont want to start getting myself in a mess. All i want is something that when u log into xoops, u've loged into the SMF forum aswell.

Many Thanks

SMF - Simple Machines Forums. It's a really nice forum. You can see the website here

I don't know how hard it would be to bring it into xoops? Anyone ever tried?

Many Thanks

Forums are generally quite complex scripts and therefore quite a job to convert. Especially since many of them become more and more like mini-CMS's themselves with database abstraction, logins, user stats and details, themes and much more.

What is in it that is unique? It looks pretty much like phpBB/newBB to me (I have only very swiftly browsed their forums, though)

You won't get me to do it, I am afraid.

Excuse me but it is nothing like phpbb.
SMF is one of the best php-scripts i have come across.
The module installation is a bit like Xoops, it is blazing fast, has a completa api and much more features then phpbb.

If you want to compare it, it is more in the line from vBulletin or Invision Power Board, but free.

From its first conception in November of 2001, to the current 1.5.5 release the path has been one of great learning and evolution. Starting from an idea of a port of the Zef Hemel's popular YaBB Perl software to growing to a team of close to a dozen people, hundreds of community released mods, and a great community. While today we are officially putting the YaBB SE project to bed, we promise that the ideas and premise behind the project will not die.

The team that has brought you YaBB SE has moved on to develop the next evolution in forum software, SMF. We have rebranded ourselves under the name Simple Machines and continue to strive to release the best free forum software out there and are ready to compete with products of the commercial caliber. To learn more about SMF please visit the Simple Machines website.


I think that many users know what was yabbSE
