AshDigg is teasing us parts on how to bridge Vbulletin on his "I can has help?" Blog, not sure why not on this site and why only a few parts over 3 weeks or so weird but I hope he soon posts the finished steps this would awesome if it's 100% working when done. Although I would rather have a bridge to a free forum CMS.

This thread seems almost like troll bait.... I'll bite

Sure some bridges have been developed. Simply search Google, but you need to ask yourself why on earth you would want to have massive redundant features. It's like mixing oranges with oranges. If there is a feature that you feel the CMS lacks wouldn't it be better to spend the time on making a module for it rather than a bridge to an entirely different CMS which would recreate more problems down the road when either of those projects update?

There is a bridge available for download right on this site.

It works good for what it is.

I don't recommend it though.

They are both complicated systems and would need a very thorough bridge for me to recommend it. (I did it over a year ago, so there is no going back now)

You want to add this to phpbb_functions

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . GROUPS_TABLE . " (group_name, group_description, group_single_user, group_moderator)

VALUES ('', 'Personal User', 1, 0)";

if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql, false, true)) )

{

message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not insert data into groups table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);

}



$group_id = $db->sql_nextid();



$sql = "INSERT INTO " . USER_GROUP_TABLE . " (user_id, group_id, user_pending)

VALUES ($user_id, $group_id, 0)";

if( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql, END_TRANSACTION)) )

{

message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not insert data into user_group table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);

}

I had a problem with people not being able to sign in immediately as well. so you want this as your file for phpbb_settings

<?php

// the location of phpbb2 on your server

// if the install is at http://yourdomain.com/phpbb2/ then

$phpbb_root_path = '/board/';



// if you have the default install of this module

// into /modules/phpbb2/ then keep the following line

$phpbb_root_path_prefix = "../..";



// if PLIGG is installed into a subfolder then UNCOMMENT the following line

// $phpbb_root_path_prefix = $phpbb_root_path_prefix . "/..";

// if PLIGG is installed into the root then keep that line COMMENTED out



$phpbb_root_path = $phpbb_root_path_prefix . $phpbb_root_path;



// don't touch anything past this line.



if($main_smarty){

$main_smarty->assign('phpbb2_path', phpbb2_path);

$main_smarty->assign('phpbb2_lang_conf', phpbb2_lang_conf);

$main_smarty->assign('phpbb2_tpl_path', phpbb2_tpl_path);

}

?>

You also want to remember that after people change their passwords, they won't able to sign into the software that they don't change their password from. It might not be a problem at first, but give it a year and you'll have an issue on your hands.

If you need further help. You can private message me.

thanks,
ill test it out now and ill let you know how it goes!

chuck, how much would a module for phpbb cost?
i want to use phpbb or another good Forum, because if i got a band new forum made then ill have to pay heaps extra and have heaps of work done for extra plugins ect.?
