I have a good running phpBB forum with over 700 members and more then 30.000 posts.
I have been very busy tweaking and modding my forum so it is exactly as I (and my members) like it.

Now I have also installed XOOPS and I think it could be very valuable for my site but I stumble into a few problems.

I try to integrate XOOPS into my excisting phpBB and not vice versa.
The phpBB module is not an option (I tried but it doesn't work properly and I then have to rebuild all from scratch).
I think the simplest way is to let XOOPS use the phpBB database with the most important stuff (users, smilies etc)and let them both do whatever they have to do ;) but how? I have two different databases, one for phpBB and another for xoops.
Can I tell XOOPS to just go to another database for the users or smilies in the code when needed??


I hope my point is clear, english is not my native language.
I'm dutch.

Hello MrVandal,

Welcome to XOOPS forums
This is not a complete answer, but a suggestion that you visit bbpixel.com Koudanshi has done a lot of work on integrating XOOPS and phpbb also ipb forum. You may get some help here but otherwise give this site a look

I'm familiar with the work of Koudanshi and I have installed his pbb module for testing.
He did a great job and for most people it will do the trick but not for me :(

I wanna try to keep my forums intact en let it work together with XOOPS instead of inside.

But good advise is never left to be alone so I will also open a topic over there

Thankx!
