Hi Everyone,

Are there any other forum software that integrates easily with ezPublish (account/logon management)? The one that comes with ezPublish is functional but extremely limited. I've searched this forum but there aren't really any good pointers in how to accomplish this.

I am typically thinking of something like phpbb or vB...

Much Appreciated

Hi Gerhardus

There are some listed here: http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/integration. I don't know about their features and status though.

Short Answer: <b>No</b> or not publicly available

Long Answer: It's possible to accomplish with some <i>development</i>.

Best suggestion: Try llaumgui's solution (ezipb), from what I've heard he did a lot of great work on this very subject. I think he got Invision Power Board and eZ to Talk to each other in some limited capacity (account management at least I gathered). "ezipb is an extension eZ publish to allow IPB and eZ to communicate."

While I do not like non-free forum software (their is a ton of it on the web still). I would imagine with some additional development one might be able to convert the ezipb solution to work with other free software forum solutions like ... sigh, phpbb.

Over the years we have yet to see a complete solution like you describe be offered publicly and remain both functional and available. Once their was a broken attempt to offer bindings to phpbb, it was not maintained and did not remain available, a real shame.
