What is the best way to integrate phpBB with OSC?

[timbeckham]

The subject line says it all. What is the most effective way to integrate the phpBB 2.x bulletin board system with OSC? I assume that there is a contribution that covers this, but I have no idea which contribution to use. --- Or perhaps there is a module from phpBB that relates to this matter.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My honest opinion, I wouldn't even try to have one account with the two packages... (even if there were a contribution)

 

the look and feel can very easily be made to look the same...

 

Ps; Just my opion

Actually, I think the following OSC site has done an excellent job of integrating the two:

to have a board that looks like the osc, as I said it is nice and very easy to do and it looks nice too

 

I was talking about having the two with ONE account... (in case is that what you are refering)

 

In my opinion if I (or if that matter anyone) going to shop online, don't bother about the board, in actual fact I personally think that a shop shouldn't have a board but a live support box (there is a contribution) and again if the shopping is technic shopping which need advice..

 

Anyway, this is my opinion. don't take it as advice..

 

Good Luck

Salvo,

Thanks. That was a very informative thread. It will take some study, but it points me in a direction that will be educational and, I hope, useful.

How did http://www.l4leather.com/ get the PHPbb2 forum to show up in the same Oscommerce window on a different page rather than opening in a separate window?

 

I have successfully set up a link on my Oscommerce main page and the forum is working great. I would be very happy to keep everything as is except the part where the forum opens up in another window. I would like to keep the customer in the same oscommerce window.
