Thanks to everyone for guiding me to PHP-Nuke and PHPbb. I am finding them both to be exactly what I need to run my web community. There are a few questions I haven't been able to figure out, and I was wondering if anyone has ever done it before. If so, your help would be much appreciated.<br /><br />What I'm trying to do is connect PHPbb to the PHP-Nuke login. I eventually want to get all my programs to run from a single login through Nuke. I'm very new to all this, so I don't know where to begin. My best guess is that I need to somehow tie the two programs together with SQL. I want the user to login once on the main screen and have full access beyond that with all programs keeping track of who the user is.<br /><br />Next question... I used to use a board package called Discuss. One of the things I really liked about Discus was that the users could attach an image directly to their post making it inline with the text. All they had to do was attach a tag like <image,Imagename> and IE or Netscape would automatically ask for the file from disk. There has to be a way to do this with PHPbb. I just can't find it. <br /><br />If you have even a tidbit of info on these things, please drop me a note. I'm a beginner at this stuff. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />Dave<!--content-->
there is a file attachment mod for phpbb, it requires a little bit of rewriting of parts of the code, but isn;t to bad. you can get it at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.phpbb.com">www.phpbb.com</a><!-- w --><br /><br />also as for nuke and phpbb working together, the newer version of nuke downloaded from phpnuke.org use the phpbb. if you installed the one from cpanel it uses the splat forums. if you install nuke 6.5 from phpnuke.org it will have phpbb built in to it, so when your users register/login they are already registered/logged in to the forums as well. One draw back to this, and the reson i use a standalone phpbb is with thephpnuke version the forums open within the nuke site, so its a smaller window.<!--content-->
With a bit of php know how, you can tie almost any two scripts together. I incorporated the phpbb sign up process to another script and just added some code so that phpbb INSERTed more data into other tables that the other scripts use.<br /><br />I know that doesn't tell you HOW... but it would be very difficult to write step by step directions.<!--content-->
never mind I just read your post again....<br /><br />I do have an upload feature added to my phpbb, you can take a look here....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.greatfolios.com/forum/album.php" target="_blank">http://www.greatfolios.com/forum/album.php</a> but you (admin) still has to create the folders<br /><br />Mr. Bill<!--content-->
