CMS Made Simple Forums

'llo all,

I've searched but not found. Normally I would just search further for a while before asking for help. But I have to solve this soon. Tommorow I want to get a website online with CMSMS and myBB.

I like to merge the logins, so logging into CMSMS is the same as logging into myBB. I want just 1 place to login to make it clear for the users. I also want to be able to give some forum users rights for editing CMSMS content.

Is this possible with myBB? If yes, is there a tutorial you can link to?
If not, which bulletin board will be my best option and how do I do that? Another bulletin board is no problem, I just read that myBB is easy to manage and I see only raving reviews. It's a new site so anything will do as long it's extendable to my likings and preferably admin friendly.

For example.. I want to add the option to use lilypondcode in the forum, so I should be able to do that without rewriting the sourcecode. This is not the right place to ask that, it's an example. Most important is the login integration between cmsms and some extendable bulletin board.

Any help is appreciated. I hope I can realize it tommorow, that would be great.

Not sure ... think I have read somewhere FrontendUsers module is able to use other authentification methods than the built-in.

If yes you have to code a connector.

I guess someone did this already. Maybe for phpBB? I was surprised I couldn't find an example. Since I want to get this up and running asap, I prefer not to code it myself.

To me it seems a functionality that is not that obscure. The login integration I mean. I like to have that setup from the start.

The Lilypond embedding I will probably have to code myself. Mediawiki has a extension for that, which would be a great example, but that can I do later. It's only that I have to choose for a bulletin board that makes it easily possible to make this kind of adjustments.

Thank you for commenting.
