phpBB3 Released

[synth3tk]

I'll look into that tommorrow after work (2am is not a good time right now!) but just by glancing at your site, it seems that it would be fairly easy. I'm pulling it from a MySQL 4.x database. It uses phpMyAdmin through my shared hosting cPanel. The script I've got now does pretty much nothing. Hardest part would be looking into how php-Fusion works it's login script, then somehow "telling" it to pull it from the phpBB table. Simple, really. I've just got to take the time to sit down with a few bottles of Pepsi and go through all this stuff.

if both scripts use the same database it would just be a matter of changing the table one of them uses for the users and making sure the field names are the same. also make sure that bot scripts use the same method of encrypting the password in the DB.

also is there anyways to link 2 different databases together? like have a script that you could run that would get data from 1 db and another script that gets data from the other DB? just a question of mine lol

There are already some out there that are pre-made, but as one of the programs get upgraded, it may change the code completely, rendering the page/script useless. That's where I stand right now.

Well the TechnoKats just tonight upgraded our forum, and installation was A PAIN! Of course, it doesn't help that our webmaster left and I was stuck with Webmaster, knowing nothing about websites. I guess it is pretty good I even knew to update it!

I'm assuming the hard part was with database information, because this was one of the easiest web-based setups I've ever done, though the constant "Click To Proceed" repetition was a bit of a bore.

We've been trying phpbb3 for quite some time now. I am currently working on skinning it.

I've used phpBB since 2.0.11 now, and I have to say I would recommend upgrading. There's lots of hacks you may have installed, but give it not even a few months and thousands of hacks will be released for 3.0.

We at phpBBhacks are already storing up plenty of templates and hacks for people to use. I hope to see some people over there.
