Hello,I have a site running geeklog 1.3.6 (which is great btw) and a forum running phpBB 2.0.4 (also great).I want to link them together, both have databases which i could not part with and erase.I have read a bit about the CMS Bridge but cannot fully understand it, would I have to erase one (or both) of my data bases to link them?If anyone has any sites or FAQs of the CMSB in english (meaning, i can't understand deep tech talk) it would be appreciated.

Can't offer much help on the CMS Bridge install....you just need to roll-up your sleeves and read through each line in the CMS install doc one-by-one. Make sure you have a working example app before testing phpBB!
As for the DB related question. The bridge comes with phpBB203. If the data model in 203 is the same as 204 then you're set. During the Bridge install, DO NOT build your database. Meaning, use your existing DB and point the Bridge at it.
If the DBs differ from 203 to 204 then you might be able to get away with replacing the default CMS Bridge 203 version. I believe (but could be wrong) the only additional component inside the included phpBB version is the /phpBB203/cms_bridge folder.---Danny @ squatty.com
