Hello,

I have in mind migrating the actual phpBB2 board with above 2100 membres to Agora, which is to 100% integrated into Joomla.

In order to avoid ID et and passwort mismatches, membres of the Agora support forum suggested to bridge, which would then allow to get them into Joomla. This makes sens and would avoid large future problems.

I am willing to buy for this purpose your bridge. Could you however please let me know that this will work ie. that it will become possible to integrate the actual on the phpBB2 registred ID's et corresponding passwords.

It will not be necessary to pridge the phpBB2 forum, since Agora ist integrated into Joomla.

Many thanks for your explanations.

Hello,

I expected to see an answer:)

I guess I will have to buy your JoomphpBB bridge, working in Joomla 1.5.8 in legacy mode.

Should I be wrong, then please let me know.

I will buy it by tomorrow...and will establsh the bridge after installation.

Hi Pieter!
Apologies for this delay,
Joomla 1.5 and phpBB use different storage methods for passwords, our bridge doesn't allow bulk importing users from phpBB to Joomla. Only if the user logs in Joomla with his phpBB credentials and he is absent in Joomla - he will be inserted in Joomla.

Thus the bridge will suit you but you'll need to wait a bit until all users login; only then all your phpbb users will be in joomla.

Kindest regards!

OK, Thanks for your answer.

I am goimg to buy the the bridge. I will likly have after the installation a few questiuons (configuration).

Regards

Pieter Wenk

I treied to install joomphpbb_cb_1_5_0 (Zip) this did not work.

Thanks a lot

Pieter Wenk

No, don't unzip, just use the usual joomla install.

Thanks alot

What's the forum path I have to insert ?

The forum is on:
www.b-a-r-f.com/Forum/phpBB2/index.php

It's asking for the absolute path on the server.
it's located at:
/public_html/Forum/phpBB2/

but how have I to write this path into the configuration ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

You need to enter the absolute path to your forum like /home/site/public_html/phpbb

You have the Joomla path written, you just need to add the forum folder.
regards!

/home/barfcomh/public_html/nousite/Forum/phpBB2

Pieter Wenk

Some in phpBB2 cottectly registred membres are complaining to be unable to connect into Joomla.

I made myself some tests and regretfully they are right.

Please hit:

www.b-a-r-f.com/nousite

then just go to:

Yoologin

and try with:

ID: marilyne
Password: champion

I have a nice list of other users which are unable connecting.

Yesterday I had not these problems. What happened ?

I have planned going online by wendsday...but if the bridge does'nt work it would be impossible.

Many thanks four your assistance.
