Hello,

is there a XOOPS SMF/phpBB bridge available?
i just want the usernames/passwords to autologin into SMF/phpBB. i dont mind having to configure SMF/phpBB separately.

also, it is possible to have latest posts on XOOPS frontpage?

thanks so much.

will appreciate any reply :)

cheers!

Bridge for XOOPS & SMF

Please visit http://www.bbpixel.com for the Phpbb hack.

Please note, that this is a hack, and therefore will make updating your XOOPS installation more difficult. I would personally advise using CBB, which is a native XOOPS forum module, rather than the hacked version.

(Although I know the hack is very good )

thanks for your reply guys.
i know i should test out both before asking BUT im going to ask anyway :)
For the SMF Bridge
1) the SMF bridge, do i need to hack the XOOPS Core?
2) in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=63183.0 for SMF, it says that I hide the XOOPS default login, does the rest of the user permissions; like the admin and normal users get affected?
3) will SMF use the same user database used in Xoops? or does it copy all existing users in XOOPS and transfer them into SMF?

For the PHPBB hack
1) does it use the same user database used in Xoops? or does it copy all existing users in XOOPS and transfer them into SMF?

i want to use SMF. but i am trying to weigh out which is better (SMF or the PHPBB hack) - in terms of XOOPS integration... basically what i want is a seemless integration of the forum (especially the user accounts)... i would not mind having to redesign the SMF/Phpbb template. since i want it to load separately and not wrapped around in XOOPS like a module...
