RokBridge

Non-invasive, Bi-directional Forum Bridge

RokBridge is a powerful bi-directional and totally non-invasive bridge between Joomla 1.5 and phpBB3.

Traditionally bridges for Joomla 1.0 have been a variety of hack's in both the Joomla and the forum code base, resulting in a precarious solution that was prone to break with updates on either side. This is no longer the case! With the integration capabilities of Joomla 1.5 we've been able to create a non-invasive bridge solution for the fantastic new phpBB3 forum package. This bridge runs as a Joomla application and provides registration as well as profile syncing.

Features

• Non-invasive Joomla 1.5 application
• No hacks to Joomla or phpBB3 required
• Uses Joomla authenticator and user synchronization system, which will allow for authentication via plugins such as openID, ldap, gmail, etc...
• Bi-directional syncing of registrations in either Joomla or phpBB3
• Sychronization of profile data
• Very little performance overhead compared to traditional bridges
• Joomla SEF capabilities trickle down to bridged forum
