I have a full CMS and I want to integrate it with phpbb.
Basically I want when user registers -> registers with phpbb and same with login.
Is there any good tutorial or something that can help me?
Depending on the CMS you are using, you will need what phpBB team calls Bridges. You have several existing, and the most powerful is clearly the Drupal Bridge

now don't tell me "well the use case depends on your app" there is millions of apps written in django, and all make use of djangos admin features. I know laravel is not a CMS, but I am writing an app from scratch. I want to get bullet proof user roles and rights depending on the user. Is there some scaffolding i can use that comes with it maybe?
this is one you can check for laravel admin, I don't know django so don't know how you work with its admin and flow but this is one package you can check.
laravel-admin

I have a web application that needs to be built using PHP/MySQL. The application will require documents to be generated from data in the MySQL database. Such documents will be printed and/or emailed and user will be prompted to run a daily print/email job based on business logic.
This application functionality needs to be made available to individual users such that they can upload data, have the system prompt them as to whether letters/emails are to be generated. The site also needs to be able to support a bulletin board, online live training events and will have admin area as well.
Question: Should a hybrid solution be developed such that the data management (upload functionality, and letter production) be a separate part of the site that authenticated Joomla users can access? That is, the document management functionality would exist separately from Joomla, but be called from within it via a link in the Joomla sitemap. Alternatively, should custom modules be developed from within Joomla to accomodate the document management functionality?
Thanks so much for your input!!
Joomla could do the job for you but based on the amount of things you need that differ from a normal Joomla site I would use a framework to build from instead of a CMS. I say this because it sounds like you need a lot more than just a CMS and it can be more work if you try making Joomla do things it wasn't designed to do. In my opinion Joomla is for "web sites" and not as much for "web apps". Of course those terms have overlap but it sounds like you would be better off with a Framework to go off of instead of working around Joomla to get what you want. However if the site is already done in Joomla it may be less work just to make a Joomla add-on.
Since you have to use PHP I would definitely recommend CakePHP for your framework. As for an integrated forum try looking at the links in this post. If that doesn't work for you, try out Vanilla forums (vanillaforums.org) which are very clean and may be easier to integrate into CakePHP than some of the other PHP forums.
If you decide to use CakePHP, check out Cake Forge to see if you can find anything there to make your life even easier.
If you were to use Joomla, the upload functionality and letter production would be written as a custom component. You can write the component to make sure that the current user is authenticated before generating the documents. I would not develop this as a separate application alongside Joomla; it would be easier to write it as a component.
Many forums and forum bridges are available for Joomla, so that would be something you wouldn't have to write.
I'm not sure what kind of live event support you're looking for.
I'm trying to start building a whole application using phpBB3 user system as a base using CodeIgniter framework. However before starting I would like to hear a piece of advice from any phpBB3 Developer out there.
I've been developing for Wordpress and Drupal. But recently I decided I would build up something fit to my needs instead of using a premade application.
The application is going to include:
Article System
Video Streaming
Wiki
User editable Profiles
and much more
To any phpBB3 Developer :
Where to start?
Any recommendation you could give me?
Any tips?
I've only used phpBB3 as a forum system, but you should definitely check out the phpBB Development Wiki, particularly the API section.
It has all sorts of neat things, like how to add custom pages and use phpBB's permission system.
I need to choose a forum component for a new Joomla installation and I'm wondering which one should I use:
JoomlaBoard
Joomla phpBB
Joomla SMF
Any other you might want to suggest
Among the requisites, I will need to dynamically create/delete forums and to add/delete members, so a forum that offers high level API for these tasks would be great. I can live with writing by myself the scripts to directly edit the database, though.
Any suggestion?
Kunena! http://www.kunena.com/
I used ccBoard http://codeclassic.org/ and is pretty good
My best success has been with the Joomla Forum
http://forum.joomla.org/
I would personally choose Kunena or PHPBB.
Both are fast, powerful but both have a few set backs. Kunena integrates with Joomla very easily, all you have to do is install and configure. has to be installed on a subdomain then integrated using a bridge, however is does have some features that Kunena doesnt like usergroups.
I personally use Kunena cause I love the simplicity and integration.
