After some issues getting the extension running due to poor coding practices (Using the depreciated TYPE property instead of the ENGINE property in the SQL statements. Type has been depreciated since MySQL 4.0) I managed to get it working.

The interface is, albeit, a little clunky but it does the job. Would have been 4 stars had the developer been reading the MySQL release notes, or checked the warnings for his SQL statement.

After downloading, installing, configuring and enabling the plugin, it simply did not work.

I am not the only one with this issue, im using a relativly vanilla Joomla install, the comments below are testimony that something isnt quite right with this plugin.

I'm not sure why you use this rating system to discuss your problems. We have never heard of this plugin simply not working. I see that you didn't notify us about this in our dedicated support forum. If you have issues with this plugin, there's no reason to attack the developers without even talking to them.

JFusion
I'm a IT undergraduate at University, I run a gaming community in my spare time who's website is based on Joomla.

We were looking for a suitable forum integration package as at the time we were running phpbb3. After initial difficulty of setting it up, triple checking the configuration etc, Jfusion failed to work as expected. Seeking help, I went to the forum asking about my issues providing detailed information, however he developers ignored my thread. The one developer that was active on the forums was seen commenting in other threads saying he had little to no knowledge of the phpbb3 integration.

After reading this, I decided to move my forums to SMF and try again. This worked and worked well, but randomly broke about a week ago, again, login related issues. When I tried to uninstall Jfusion, it rendered both pieces of software unusable. I have since reinstalled my website from scratch.

My advice is to look at the alternatives before opting with Jfusion, can you use one of the Joomla Forum extensions? (Im now using Kunena) or if you must run a seperate forum, do you REALLY need to integrate it. Its important to remember that the pieces of software were made standalone, and that any extension to change that is effectivly a hack and increases the chance of incompatability with upgrades or something breaking as mine did.

The forums are very busy and a post can get easily get missed. Maybe you should bump a post rather than assume people are ignoring your single post on purpose. Your post says:

"I have phpbb integrated into joomla frameless, when I login in this way, it works fine."

You say it works perfectly, but want some help adjusting the cookie settings so it works both in frameless and standalone. Thats easy, just read the wiki on how to change your cookie settings to .yourdomain.com and the cookie path to /.

Not sure why you rate an extention 1 out of 5 stars when you say yourself it works fine, but just want to fine-tune it slightly.

This only works with the default login form (No CB support), which is disappointing at best.

Thanks for your review,
We doesn't say anything about CB support but I assure you in next ver we will add support for most used Joomla components and for CB too.
You can start a new topic on our forum and write there any other request for future versions.
Thanks
