How easy is it to port a mod (modification) in XOOPS?

I have phpBB standalone, and want to use some of the modifcations on my XOOPS site.

Re: Porting Mods To XOOPS

If you mean convert the entire application phpBB to a XOOPS module, then...

It depends on the complexity, and this would be big. If the mod has it's own user authentication system. If it uses a database that can be easily merged. the coding part is also big. You can use the builtin routines of XOOPS for things like forms, database access, etc - or you can use what's in phpBB.

there are just a lot of variables, so it's not as easy as yes or no.

I am talking about modifing a modification made for the standaole phpBB that I want to add to the XOOPS's phpBB module.

How hard or easy is it to modify it for it to work with the XOOPS's version of phpBB?

Yes, it's definately worth checking on http://www.bbpixel.com - I think the odd thing may be working already?

Is there anybody else that could help this my question?

I have asked on the before mentioned forum, but it seems that the phpbb side of the forums there is neglected and being treated like a rabid step-child.

IS there any sites that offer add-ons for Xoops, that I may go to or is there any add-ons for the forums that anybody know of?

Please somebody help a future XOOPS user out.

What I am trying to do is I have a heavily modified phpBB forum, and I want to bring the mods I have over to XOOPS to use with the phpBB module that is out there for Xoops.

Otherwise if I switch to XOOPS and do not have the ability to port over my mods, my site will be dumbed down dramatically and lose alot of its functionailty. As the mods I have on my site is related to the type of site I have.

Now do not get me wrong, I can do the work myself, but I guess I am trying to find out what exactly has to change and what I would have to do to make my phpBB mods work with the any of the phpBB modules for Xoops.
