I know there is a bridge for mambo and phpBB but has anyone attempted to use it for plus?

I really don't see why you would want to use mambo (a CMS) with Plus which is another CMS. It is possible to use Mambo with phpBB vanilla, you will find the turorial to do so on the mambo site. I have not tried mambo with plus, but in my opinion, it will work but with some modification, you would need to know some coding.

thanks reliable I was planning on just using the plus package in standard forum layout. Don't get me wrong I like the portal especially since the implement of switches but mambo = just time times easier to change homepage content IMHO. Thanks for the answer though

Actually there are a number of good reasons to use Mambo with Phpbb2 Plus.

Mambo has a lot of extra benefits as does Plus 1.5 over the straight phpbb.com forum.

Sure there is some cross over - but the combination would be amazing. Mambo is a straight CMS and lacks a lot of community features - whereas phpbb is visa versa.

www.chris-floyd.com uses SMF and Mambo.

Mambo component Bookmarks allows one to import CVS or Firefox bookmarks straight into the database.

Mambo fuses with Menalto's Gallery2

Mambo has a kickass calendar in Calendar Extended

Not to mention podcasting integration in Loudblog

Cafe press integration is also sweet

Simple Machines Forum has a bridge with Mambo but there is not one for phpBB yet. Though there are people working on it at the forums at www.opensourcematters.org and www.mamboserver.com

Here's my list of third party goodies on mambo

Merge all this with phpbb2 Plus 1.3 stable, pare out the duplicity and decide on what works best in each program - for instance the profiles are better in phpbb... then one has a kickass system.

We integrated phpbb2 using a component (not a bridge) at www.jeffgannon.org and even managed to implement Vince's blogmod.

I think the fusion of phpbb and Mambo/Joomla is one of the best community combinations there is out there.

My two cents.

Hello,

the jeffgannon.org site seems to be offline - does anyone know where I can find the mentioned component or could send it to me?
