Hello,

for a personal project (http://www.fedora-fr.org), I made a connector between eZ Publish and the board application PunBB (http://punbb.informer.com) / FluxBB (http://fluxbb.org) (branches 1.2). This extension is called eZFluXBB.

For information : FluxBB and PunBB are open source boards lights applications write in php. FluxBB is a fork of PunBB.

What eZFluXBB do :
- fetch FluxBB's current user in eZ
- fetch FluxBB's stats, online users and topics in eZ

What eZFlux not do and will not do :
- Synchronize eZ and FluxBB users

<b>More information on my blog (french) :</b> http://www.llaumgui.com/tag/eZFluxBB

<b>Documentation (If a person want contribute and translate this in english...) :</b> http://trac.llaumgui.com/wiki/en/eZ%20Publish/eZFluxBB

Version 1.0 is avalaible : http://ez.no/developer/contribs/applications/ezfluxbb

Hey Guillaume,

Nice work! Thanks for sharing with us.
It seems FluxBB is a fantastic forum that is faster.

Nice job Guillaume :)

I think it will be nice to have a live demo on a website to see briefly how the extension works... Or screenshots ;)

Hi Guillaume,

How does the authentication work with your extension ? Is it possible to login in eZ Publish to be connected to the forum ?

Currently, this function isn't implemented... But if you want to implement it, my svn is open for you ;-)
I have already think about this question and i think the best way is to use a customloginhandler for eZ and a hook for fluxbb 1.3

Really nice !

An SSO handler would really be a nice complement to this extension !

eZ Publish really lacks a good ready-to-use forum extension, and using a specialized application such as FluxBB with the ease of SSO would be great !
