Tell Me About phpBBx

[pgoneill]

So, I've got a site completely protected by FrontEndUsers.  And now we want a forum.  I would use the PunBB module, but its users are separate from the FrontEndUsers and requiring everyone to have two logins is just not an option.

I think phpBBx will be my salvation.  However, I downloaded it, but it's just a PHP file - no documentation, etc.

As I understand it, it simply bypasses the phpBB login system and uses FEUs.  I suppose that means people don't get profiles and all that (which is just fine as far as I'm concerned).

What I'd like to do:  The whole site is protected by FEUs/Custom Content, which works great.  If a user visits a page and is not logged in, all they get is a simple login box.  Now, I'd like this to be true of the forum as well - they'd go to domain.com/forum/ and see a simple login box - not phpBB with its standard login forms and whatnot (even if all the forums are hidden from guests, I want to present the absolute minimum information accessible by the public.

Will phpBBx hide the forum behind FEUs/CC or just share its login information?  Any other thoughts appreciated.

phpBBx is a tag which must be placed in plugin folder. Then you can look at extensions > tags. On line phpBBx you will found a help link.

Normally phpBBx should copy frontend users to phpBB (havent tried yet).

Alright, well, I'll make a local copy of the site a play around with it.
