I use CB1.2RC and phpBB using RokBridge in Joomla 1.5.3 on my site, because I haven't heard of CBConnector when the site launched and when I tried it out it failed to install. This might have been my fault, but I'm quite content with the status quo - never change a running system
. Account-syncing works with RokBridge, if you log in using CB Login module you're automatically logged in to phpBB3 and vice versa. What RokBridge does NOT do and probably will never do is profile management. However, I've applied some hacks to (I think it were two files, viewtopic.php and functions_display.php) phpBB3 to achieve the following:
- get Avatar image from the field in CB database
- get ICQ,AIM,MSN,Yahoo,Jabber and Homepage from the CB database
- get birthday (for age) and city from CB database
I've also integrated a friendcode-database for Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS online-games, but I guess that's not what you're looking for
^^.
If you're interested in my hacks I can post them here or via PM. But keep in mind that a hack
might not work exactly the same way in future versions and certainly needs to be re-applied if you decide to update your forum software! phpBB3 works with CB using RokBridge, but it doesn't sync the profiles, so there's a bit of handwork needed. When CB Connector becomes 1.5 native and 1.2 compatible (or is it already?) you should ask the guys there
. From what I remember they're not planning to release CBConnector as 1.5 native software in the near future...
