No

There's been several posts about trying to integrate it, and a few about the ldap plugin as a starting point, but nobody's posted any code/plugin that's done this

fancy being the first?

The only other shared login plugin I've seen is [url=http://manual.b2evolution.net/Plugins/gallery2_plugin]Gallery2[/url]. I haven't gotten around to installing it, but it looks good. Since phpbb version 3 is about to come out, any work on this should probably be done with that version.

I'm working on a rough method of doing exactly this. In my mind it will magically become a plugin, but in reality it will remain a stupid ugly set of instructions that I have to follow every now and then.

Once I'm done I'll gladly share what I've learned with someone who knows how to write a plugin, just in case someone wants to.

That sounds good, ed. Keep us posted on how you get on, even if it is a kludge to begin with.

I have some time so I'm starting to work on this. My primary goal is to give a blog to all the members of a specific group in my phpbb installation their own blog. I do not anticipate using stub files for this, but the autoblog plugin has all sorts of tricks that I would eventually like to take advantage of.

Anyway here's one question in my mind that views will be appreciated on. Should the user_id from phpbb become the user_id for b2evolution, or should b2evolution just go in order? I'm thinking of matching IDs because no one can change that in either application, but in b2evolution people can change it - and in fact b2evo will turn upper case characters into lower case. So like EdB here would become edb there.

I'm thinking grab an array of users from the phpbb database, then one by one insert them into the b2evolution database. Each installation of a user will also include giving them a blog with full permissions in that blog. Also each new blogger will have permission to post in one shared blog.

Thoughts as I plod through this will be greatly appreciated. Anything from how it should work to what functions and methods and what-nots will be helpful!!!

BTW I'm already figuring on this being a "run once then worry about the next members of the specific group later" approach...

Finally! http://wonderwinds.com/hackblog.php/2007/06/04/b2evo_blogs_for_phpbb_forum_members covers it fairly well. It is not very smart and not very easy to make work for your exact situation, but it worked well enough for mine.

up, Got a 503 error :-(

i'm looking for a b2evolution/phpbb integration

I have been looking for a solution that is very similar to what has been discussed in this thread. Unfortunately, I couldn't access wonderwinds.com for EdB's documentation. Is this available anywhere else?
