Integrating with phpBB3 forum

Posted by Tarrasque on November 24, 2009 at 11:19am

Hello everybody.

I was evaluating Drupal as the CMS for making up a new site. It's focal that it should integrate nicely with an existing phpBB3 forum.

Basically, I don't actualy want or need for the forum to be "nested" in the site. I'm ok for the two to be "in synch" with users and login state.

By browsing the documentation I got to this project:

http://drupal.org/project/phpbb

Which seems exactly what I need (it says it doesn't support the latest version of Drupal but I can use an older one).

Problem is that the links seem broken.

Thanks for helping!!!

Thanks for the link. I tried to follow the instructions in the guide (in my case I want to keep the phpBB3 forum in it's original installation).

Unfortunately, even after copying all the phpbbforum stuff in its place in Drupal (should be /sites/all/phpbbform) I don't see any new module to activate in Administer -> Site Building -> Modules

Am I doing something wrong?
