Is there a way to intagrate XOOPS with an existing phpBB forum?

In other words take an existing installtion of XOOPS and an existing installation of phpBB and link the two so that when people sign up on the XOOPS page, they will be signed up in the forums as well.

I dont believe you can, because of compatability issues. For instance, you can see in the forum modules area, it has IPB FOR xoops. You cant use that stand-alone. So, its the same with phpBB. You can use that stand-alone, but not in the modules of xoops. Like with IPB, it gives you the files you need to that it sets it up so if someone posts on the board, it shows it in the XOOPS profile. And when you login, its logged in both ways.

There are no extra files with phpbb to make that work like that. Someone would need to make it now, as its not available at the moment.

The only way you can find out for yourself, is to try it yourself. The BEST way to test it is to DL EasyPHP and when installed go to the www folder for it, and put XOOPS in there, with phpbb in the modules area. then go to 127.0.0.1. Try it. Easiest way to try it, no harm done.
