You make the tables for it.. in a database of your choice..

Got it, thanks. Your guide is great, but I'm not exactly a professional builder.

Also, you may want to check out Joomla-phpBB Bridge instead of the one from Tim-online. I tried numerous times to install the one from the guide but to no avail. Tried this one and it was installed the first time.

Page down?

Which page? The one for the Joomla-phpBB bridge?

It's up again now..

:-O i'll give it look

Sweet.

Its not that bad of a bridge. Lot less editing than yours (though still love the guide).

I used it to bridge it at my site Damage Inc

Myeah.. it's not run as a component though.. as i can see.

It's run more or less like a wrapped item..

And.. for the record.. the bridging used in the guide is ALOT simpler if you aren't limited by safemode etc..

But i wanted to write the guide in worst case scenario.. to limit the amount of support stuff.. hehe

But in any case.. looks like a nice implementation..

I don't have safemode for my site.

Well, lots of people have been saying there has been problems with 1.0.10 (can't get JCE installed for one).

Well, let them know if they can't get the comonent installed they can bridge it.

Very nice guide, but i´ve always the same problem.If i make a new wrapped link to e.g. EQDKP or Roster he wrapps the first page fine, but if i click on a link in the wrapped page he starts to make a full screen of the application (he opens it not wrapped!)

Any ideas?

If it was a nice guide.. why didn't you read it? ;-p hehe..

naah.. check this -> Joomla Integration Guide - Wrapping

It's because the links are "wrong"

I read it very well, but it didn´t work for me...

All i have to do is just make a wrapped link and change the following, right?

Line 298:
${$var} .= '<a href="' . $this->root_path . $menu['link'] . '" class="copy" target="_top">' . $menu['text'] . '</a> | ';

Change it to be:
${$var} .= '<a href="' . $this->root_path . $menu['link'] . '" class="copy" target="_self">' . $menu['text'] . '</a> | ';

If this are the only changes concerning EQDKP, then i can tell you for sure, that it didn´t work for me....

But maybe it´s a general problem, because all wrapped Links only show me just the first page "wrapped"...

Here´s a link to my test-page:

You aren't using the standard eqdkp menu..
So check your modded files and change all link targets to be target="_self"

Hi Thumann,

Exellent guide, I followed it last night, and got everything setup almost perfectly. Still got some issues with templates, but that was expected. I also had some database problems, but I got them solved (I think). They were probably due to me mixing up some of the manual updates (yeah I know, rtfm ).

I do have a question though, about the Joomla - phpBB user integration. Should it be possible to use both phpBB as a component AND use the 'standalone' phpBB site? Of course not at the same time, but if I e.g register in the 'standalone' should I then be reckonised as a valid user in Joomla and the phpBB component inside Joomla? And vise versa?

Hi all,

As of today (Sunday, 9/3/06) the joomlastuff.org website is down, so I can't get the files necessary to install the phpBB portion. Does anyone have a mirror or other ideas?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks Thumann for an awesome guide!!

Sure.. you can run "two" version if you'd like..

Though on the second one.. change it to use the jos_users as the user table.. the rest is the 'same'

You change it in the constants.php file.. i think it's located under phpbb2/includes
