PunBB integration?

arpan · 2005-03-21 16:52:15

I would be interested in punBB integration with Txp.

But what would that mean?

Would I be able to
-create templates for punBB through the TXP admin?
-change the settings etc. ?

basically, what would this integration mean when using Txp & punBB together?

i haven’t got it successfully working cuz i have punbb 1.2.2 installed, and it only works for 1.2.1… but there are others who say it’s working well on theirs

It really ain’t that hard to get it to work, just need some hacking of the code of PunBB with the plugin as a template for the hack. I did it at work where I set up an internal forum that just HAD to use Textile :). I can help out if someone needs some pointers on the topic.

Thought I’d bump this thread and check where the ball is on this… Anyone has tried to integrate punBB ?

I’d also like some kind of integration between txp and punBB, but I’m not sure what exactly. :) Currently, I’m just using fgr_punbb_info to display some of the latest threads on the frontpage of a site of mine, among a few other things.

As for Jeremie’s statement, I think comments system are more flexible than a forum : discussions are author-centric, can be presented more freely (not constrained by a specific theme) and last but not least, it’s lighter. I guess it depends on the nature and volume of content : forums are more suited to big content volumes, which make it necessary to structure more rigidly.
Personnally, I see forums and comments as complementary, not antagonist systems…

You misunderstood me. I was saying that a forum API is better equiped to handle a commenting system. That doesn’t change anything (well, if you don’t want to) on the frontend…

Ok, I put it another way: a comment has an ID, an author, a title (or not), a timestamp, a body, things like that. It also is attached to a article’s ID. That’s exactly what a forum API does. Each post has these things, and is linked to a thread’s ID.

I mean, why reinvent the wheel ? And more, if you use a forum API/software to do so, one can brose/read/moderate/write using an alternate “classical forum view”, without having to browse every articles to see what’s new.

And much more.

Hi,

My first post, been reading for most of the day, trying to get a feel for Textpattern.

I wanted to quote Jeremie but I’m used to regular bbcode, textile is a bit foreign to me. Anyway, I agree with Jeremie’s statements above and I’d be very interested in exploring this further. I like how Textpattern is evolving, a mini-cms of sorts.

Rickard, of PunBB, helped me enhance a plugin for Nucleus to act as a bridge to PunBB. Whenever I post a blog entry, it feeds it to the forum and commenting happens there. You can see it working on hcgtv, follow my sig.

Though I use Nucleus, I can see where Textpattern would be a better choice for certain sites that I create.

TXP and Pun would make an excellent match.

Thanks for posting HCGTV. I’d like to see some Textpattern + PunBB user management sync, as well as some plugin for posting articles to the forum and such using Textpattern.

variaas · 2005-11-30 06:10:11

I want to throw my name in the hat for this kind of integration! It would be perfect for what I’m looking for. How difficult was it to write the integration with Nucleus? Is that available publicly? I’ve been using TXP for a while, so if I could get this integration with TXP + PunBB I would be elated!

hcgtv · 2005-11-30 16:15:57

Hi variaas,

The integration with Nucleus to PunBB is done with a plugin, it’s GPL and available here:

NP_PunBB-1.3.zip

At least it could be used as a basis or as a guide for a similar plugin for Textpattern.

Has anybody started working with Textpattern + PunBB user management sync yet?

I´d need a integration that works in a way that if you register in the PunBB forum you automatically get to be registered commenter in TXP. Kinda like that Movable Type has TypeKey.

And also the db user integration between TXP Blog authors and administration forum users.

Any ideas how to achieve these?

Ideas, yet a lot. Should be simple. Writing it is a bit out of my league though. A shame :(

Dawk · 2006-01-16 06:10:44

Well, I’m back & totally in love with this new TXP ;) been lurking & played with a few installs since 0.9x
I’m going to be using txp for everything from here on out, haven’t been this excited about some .php code ever lol

This punbb bridge is a definate necessity now. I totally agree w/Jeremie about the bridge, actual integration would be a nightmare to support & keep current.

For my needs, a simple common auth for members would work to start.
I used the Nucleus/Punbb plugin for a site awhile back, it creates a (optional) forum post for articles & adds a link to it from the article.
One thing that I thought would be great, was round trip commenting between the comments & forum. Having them displayed both ways, as comments & a forum thread.
After some thought on it, I think the best way to accomplish it would be to have the forum handle the commenting & display the comments under the article via RSS?

Punbb v1.3 is coming soon with clean URLs & RSS feeds down to the thread level. (this will be the 2nd most excited I’ve ever been about some .php code lol)

Any thoughts?

I’m willing to part with some dosh for this hack =)

hcgtv · 2006-01-16 07:21:48

Hi Dawk,

Count me in, I’d also like to see a similar integration like we did for Nucleus and PunBB.

I’ve got a site running Textpattern 4.0.3 and waiting on PunBB 1.3 to handle the forum.

I’m also willing to pay some monies towards this bridge.

Hey guys, happy to hear you are into this!! :)

Jeremie · 2006-01-16 07:56:07

So, “Integration” should be in fact two modules :

A common auth in the frontend, but separated in the database (basically a replication of login/pass from one software to another)
A way of using the forum software for comments. When an article is published, a new forum thread would be created with the article body as the first post (and a link from the article to the thread).

I’m also willing to put some money on this. I also can expand on this post, with more detailed scenarios and “how would that work”.

Any dev around here interested in doing this ?
