Integration with IPB SDK 1.6.0

[neenach2002]

I'm currently working on integrating CMSMS with the IPB SDK 1.6.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're interested in helping me work on this project, email me at the following e-mail address: neenach2002[AT]gmail[DOT]com

Very interesting idea.  One of the things on the post 1.0 list is abstraction of users from the rest of the system, so you can easily plugin alternate user systems like IPB.  Unfortunately, that's still awhile away, but i'm curious to see if you can get seomthing working beforehand with it.

For the curious: http://ipbsdk.sourceforge.net/

The only reason I'm integrating the two (or attempting to) is because:

• I want to keep my existing content.
• I LOVE how easy content is to create/produce.  Makes the job a lot easier on my staff members.
• My old inclusion system was cumbersome and a pain in the ass to use (though very secure).

neenach2002,

edit your post and paste your address in a format such as neenach2002 [AT] gmail [DOT] com

if you leave it like this, you've about 100% changes that a spammer' robot crawl this site and gather your email address to sell it with millions of others.

Cheers

I can't edit it for one....
For two, I use a combo of Gmail and Thunderbird.

What get's past Gmail doesn't get past Thunderbird...and even if it does, it's good because I can mark it as spam, improving Thunderbird's ability to pickup spam.  =)

Edit: looks like I can edit it.  I'm used to it saying "edit" not "modify"

Hey guys, so far I've replaced the page display so that it displays the main portal page of IPB SDK instead of the default page when $page = ''.

Check it out: http://www.soanime.com/

I'm setting up the comments and stuff to be inside CMS Made Simple still, but this is definately progress.  =)

Two things you should note:

• Currently, the page that is displayed is hardcoded in a .tpl file.  Though that is what the rest of the site looks like, a lot of work still has to be done with menus, etc., etc.
• I am currently a newbie at PHP.  I have pretty much the most basic knowledge of it.  I'm definately good at OOP and writing my own functions, but I'm not "advanced" yet.  This is my very first project (with the exception of a really crappy/basic member system I made before I knew anything about OOP/custom functions).

Let me know what you guys think so far...  This'll be a great way to learn more advanced things about PHP.  =)

Okay guys, I'm a bit stuck.

Need to know two things:

• Where is the template called in?
• Where is the code for the menu system, (the actual php code that processes it) and how can I get it into a Smarty template (.tpl) file?  It doesn't work ouside of the CMS template area. =(
