Okay,
As i look around i don't see much phpBB integration and phpBB as all i want on my site where i have problems with.
So i thought , lets make that ourselfs. Why ? I could use alot of excisting phpBB mods and sniplets for etomite.
What's on my wishlist :
*news output on a page [90% complete]
- rss mod for PHPBB2.0.19:
----- i modified this file so that u can set a forum that is not visible when browing the forum ,
----- but where u can still see the forum from. The tricky is u will need to edit the php
----- every time u make a new news page, cause u can't have ? in ur rss links.
----- U need a forum for every news feed page.
- NewsParser modified to output from the rss page with some l33t layout
----- modified the output a bit , dropped the fieldset.
Update : fixed some php errors
**************************************************************************
*poll integrationCanceled
This seams to already exist in php_fetchall_thighy , damn i'm late
- try to get fetch all phpBB
- learn how the show stuff works so i can show the latest poll
----- make it so it only shows of a certain forum
----- & guest should be able to vote with just using fetch array thingy
----- in other words without have to go to the forum
**************************************************************************
*user integration[10% complete]
things i need to consider:
-on installing:
make a group hidden called etomite (in phpbb3 that will be a role)
install phpbb mod auto group
put all excisting users in that group (you might want to ban some1 from your site but not your board
make a hidden group etomiteadmin
put the current board admins in it
requires: 1 phpbb mod install, 1 sql file

- on register:
register with phpbb only but make a script so that the page of phpbb also can be showed on your etomite
requires: 1 snippet for registration, mofiy phpbb register function

- on login
make an ajax fronted script to login on your etomite wich sets cookies for both phpbb and etomite
when login on board, also make etomite cookie/session there
when on etomite and logeded in, check for etomite admin group
if you in that one show an admin link on site
link takes you to manager, altho i have to change the manager login function to look in the phpbb db for access instead of the etomite user db
requires: 1 snippet for login, mofiy manager login, modify phpbb login

**************************************************************************
*lastest forum posts [100% complete]
the problem here is that i wanted to work the script for both my phpbb2 and phpbb3 forums
best solution ever was just rss
the thing is simple:
1. install on your phpbb any rss mod most rss just do fine
2. i have used xml2array, but i don't remeber where i got the code from so i'll post it here:
i altered alot of the code too because it only gave out the array,
i made the part that retreives the info from the array too
Download: xml2array.zip
3. unzip above download, edit config and put it in a snippet,
4. just call the snippet where ever you want the topics to show
-- it comes with a template thingy so you can easily modiefy the look of your links without knowing much php

Looking forward to the "user integration" between eto and phpbb.. Great work!

[dmcgiff]

Mukke - did you ever get anywhere with the user integration? This would be very useful for me on a couple of sites...

[Mukke]

well i was looking to it again but then i was thinking of using phpbb3
i dunno
i did make a last topic snippet tho

[Mukke]

i added a new snippet for the latest post section
look into it it's a script from one of my sites i made a long time agao and when thinking of user integration again i thought of this post
i have more phpbb scripts, i'll post them in the future

[Mukke]

for the user integration
i think i'm just gonna make a role in phpbb3 if they can login in etomite and for now only full admins

altho the site i intendely made it for now runs smf in stead of phpbb,
but ah well lets code it anyway
