Has anyone ever successfully intergrated Ikonboard into Xoops? What I am looking for is a way that one is logged into both XOOPS and Ikonboard without having to log in twice.

To the best of my knowledge there is no bridge available for that board software to tie it into Xoops.
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

Thanks Bender. What I was thinking though is there should be a way in Perl to pull the login in info from the XOOPS database and use it for Ikonboard. If both use the same cookie, one would not need separate logins. Unfortuantally, I am a dabbler in code, and would not know how to do that. Going the otherway, pulling Ikonbaord login in information from XOOPS I know probably would not work. I think it would disable most features. Anyhow would this be workable??? Or would I be wasting someone's time?

Well, just to let folks know I gave up on trying to tie the two. So, instead I converted Ikonboard to phpBB and then to CBB. I had to take that route as there is no direct conversion. Amazingly, I only lost two posts out of nearly 6000 in the whole process! So if anyone is using Ikonboard, yes, there is a way to convert to CBB.

Glad you got this sorted.

It is a roundabout method - but if it works...

It certainly is a roundabout, but I am surprised at how well it worked. The only problem is the first go around I had problems with the mebership database as Ikonboard uses fields for which there is no equivalent. I got rid of those and it worked like a charm.
