You won't be able to just use pnphpbb in xoops, you would have to modify it's behaviors and files, of which I am no where qualified to do.

Can you change PnPhpBB so that we can use it in Xoops?Quote:

I don't know if it works for XOOPS 2X though, haven't tried it.

You can also find alot of XOOPS modules at this site that you may not find anywhere else. Just make sure to browse the ones for XOOPS and not for E-Xoops.

Either do I, and there are few people here, if any at all, who have ported it over into xoops. The ability is here in the community, but the time and dedication it would take is rather large.

The easiest fix I found when I did try out the phppp for XOOPS version, was that after I installed it, I remember modifying the templates fro the phpbb so that it didn't mess up my XOOPS .css

It took a lot of work and experiementation. Hours of trial and error and most of which I can't even remember anymore.

I did the same thing with the IPB mod, but that was even more complex because it's theme system. My major gripe with both is the modifications to core file which broke my instalation when I uninstalled them.

Newbb is not yet mature enough and other systems still need work. So for me, the decision to go without forums is a painfull one. I'm still hopeing a suitble solution presents itself one day.

I wish I could help you out, but I lack the skills neccesary to port pnphpbb to the X system. My suggestion, although weak as it seems, is to wait for the X2.1 version. The roadmap for X2.2 is also in the works, so that only means that there will always be room for improvement.

I for one, am willing to wait it out.

Cheers

But I need a forum right now and the newbb is too weak to use.

Well, what more can I say friend, we've explored all the options. The only other thing you can do is use phpbb in a separate window, add a link in your XOOPS pages and let users know that the forums are a separate registration.

There's nothing more I can offer.

Re: The best forum module

Just use the regular phpBB2 board, then add a link to it in your XOOPS main menu and a link back to your main site on the phpBB2 board. Users will have to login twice but they can set their login to be automatic all the time if you use the automatic login hack that phpBB2 has available at their own site.

I have a phpBB2 board myself at the moment but I'm closing it. It's only around right now because of some things on it that one of my webmasters need right now. I love phpBB2 but until there's a why to get it as a module for XOOPS that won't mess up Xoops, I'll stick with newBB. NewBB isn't bad if you use hacks, and they are supposed to add alot of new features to it to make it more admin and user friendly.
