YaBB integration (sort of ...)
Dirk
Well, I'm running a YaBB forum alongside one of my Geeklog sites. Since it's not very likely that the two will ever work together nicely, I thought I could at least make the signup process a bit easier for those users who already registered for the Geeklog site and now want to register with the YaBB forum, too.
I wrote a little script that does exactly that: A registered Geeklog user can register with the YaBB forum with a simple click. After that, YaBB will send him/her the registration details, etc. and from then on, the two accounts are independant of each other. But at least they don't have to type in their user name and email address a second time ...
If you think this might be useful for you, you can download the script and give it a go.
bye, Dirk

Is anyone actually using this and/or interested in a bit more integration of YaBB and Geeklog? I'm working on some things here, but could need some beta testers.
Anyone interested?
bye, Dirk

I'm still not finished with this, but yes, I am still looking for testers.
What I have so far:
- searching in Geeklog will also search in the forums
- a block that lists the current topics from the forums
- stories from Geeklog's submission queue can be posted to the forum instead (this one needs some testing, though ...)
Planned, but not really done yet: Synchronise the user databases of Geeklog and YaBB. Also planned: Sign up new Geeklog users to YaBB automatically.

I never really got around finishing this script. You can get the current version from the GPlugs CVS - look for yabbforum.

Please don't get too excited ...
I haven't done anything on this plugin for months and probably won't for the foreseeable future. So if anyone wants to take over this little project - please feel free to do so.
The current source is on the GPlugs CVS.
bye, Dirk
