#1. When I set a forum user enabled in Joomla Backend -> Joomphpbb -> Forum Users the User is disabled in phpBB3 and shown in the components list "forum users" as disabled too. Does not really work.
#2. As second.
Joomla and phpbb3 was installed with the same username and password. There exist no chance to sync them with joomphpbb bridge.
When you try to insert the record by hand in phpmyadmin (table joomphpbb_users) the profile works fine and was syncronized with phpbb and shown in the components list "forum users" as syncronized as well. But when session expiried or when log out you are no longer able to login in frontend and backend in joomla and phpbb. There is no way to sync the installed admin accounts from joomla and phpbb.
#3. In phpbb3 you can set custom profile fields similar to community builder. But the component does not support to synconize these additional fields. Even not all existing fields in phpbb can sync by default.
#4. Manage forum configuration and forum users from Joomla admin panel do not support all settings available in phpbb3.
I am really disappointed by this component. For the money paid I would have expected a mature component. Price and quality are right here I do not feel. My only reason to buy this component was offered synconisation of the field of community builder and phpbb3. Good idea but not completely thought through.
Owner's reply
I understand you might have experienced certain problems with setting up our component, but this isn't a reason to stop working with the software, but a reason to ask for assistance. We are happy to help you with the reported issues, but never received a feedback or info from you that would let us investigate them.
BTW implementing #2 request is only possible with a hack as there're a big difference in the profile settings. We stick to developing the bridge without any core hacks whatsoever.
