WP/phpBB2 integration

  • I read a topic on these forums a while back about people wanting to use the same DB for phpBB as they did for WP. Unfortunately, I was unable to do that… I don’t use WP for comments anyways, I use phpBB.
    But I did manage to craft a way to syncronize WP blogs with phpBB2 topics…
    Here is how it works…
    I post something in WP, and it creates a topic on the Blog Response category of my BB identical to my blog. On WP, the comments link points to the newly created topic on my BB. Essentially, I have made phpBB handle my comments rather than WP.
    Many people just link to their bulliten boards if they decide to go this route, but I decided it’d be neat to create a post on that BB, so that people wishing to respond to a blog wouldn’t have to start a topic, they could just respond to the existing one. I also setup phpBB in such a way that no user can create a topic in my Blog Response category, they can only respond to them.
    I managed to do all this without any modification to phpBB2, however… because WP chose to use functions with the same name as phpBB2, I had to modify WP a bit more than I had hoped.
    If anyone is interested in the how-to, please let me know. I would link to my site to show you, but I am still in the process of getting it online and running smoothly.

    Jonathan,
    I’m looking to accomplish exactly what you seem to have – integrating phpbb2 with a wordpress-driven blog. How can I contact you directly?

    Im looking for a hack that displays in my wp the 10 most recent updated thread in phpbb. Any one of you knows how to do this? Thanks.

    Has anyone gotten any new updates regarding this issue? I am extremely interested in having this done.

    Hello all PHP Gurus,
    I was able to acquire the source files of for the captioned hack/plugin from GamerZ. However, he informed me that he had abandoned the project mid-way and did not finish the documentation.
    Now if there are any php experts out there who would like to get a hold of GamerZ current work so that we can all benefit from it, please send me an e-mail at cyskon @ msn . com. Please make your subject reference this topic as I have filters on my account that will junk your mail.
    I would really like to get this to work (as would a lot of other persons).

    Thanks.

    Is there a definitive solution yet? Or someone I can contact for some pointers on this one? Still top of my wishlist for WordPress!!!!

    Sounds like a great idea!
    I was hoping to look for somthing that intergrates the users of both wordpress and phpBB into one registration and login process, if someone knows of anything that will do this that would be great!!

    not tried it but in the meantime there is a straight plugin to show recent phpbb posts at: https://yoda.gatewayy.net/index.php/wp-phpbb/wp-phpbb/

    if i could code i would do something about this feature as it seems to be a much sought after widget, any gratious coders out there up to the challenge!!!?????? c’mon, you know you want to!!!!

    i cant get the phpbb post thing 2 work!!
