FluxBB Integration

Post by horus »

Hi, I would like to know if is there someone that plan to integrate cmsms with fluxbb version 1.3 (ex punbb). I see the punbb-protected pages module and forum made simple but it's not exactly what I'm searching for: I basically need to use fluxbb v1.3 forum as {content} and/or use cmsms template, menu, udt, etc. in fluxbb.

I've a running site where I do that with cmsms 1.3.1 and fluxbb 1.2.20 but I'm not satisfied, my solution isn't flexible and, for example, I've to rewite some tags or menu. In fluxbb I read from cmsms tables the template, menu data and global content blocks then I adapt/replace/manipulate template to make it like fluxbb engine expects to find.

Anyone is working on that integration or have suggestions to do it better?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but horus (or anyone else): Have you got decent FluxBB integration into CMS? I'm going to rebuild a site I'm running with CMSMS and some forum software, most probably FluxBB which seems perfect for my needs.

Not sure but maybe you can use the same / similar way like here for zencart

My solution has basically no changes from what i've done in 2008.

In fluxbb 1.2.x I've replaced the method to retrieve template (in 1.3 i've used hd_template_loaded and other hooks).
In my situation CMSMS and FluxBB are on same db so it's easy to get from cmsms tables all information about default template, menus, global content blocks, ecc. My custom method performs some replace (for example {$content} becames ), prepare a template like those you can find in include\template folder (I also cache final template for perfomance improvement) and put it in the $tpl_main variable. From this point fluxbb run normally placing content in correct positions.
