MyBB and CMS

[blackbiLL]

I think that MyBB needs a CMS integration.
The Joomla integration is work in progress, but only with Joomla??

I think CMS integrations are most important things at this moment.
MyBB is very great now, but it needs CMS integrations to expand its users.

What do you think about?

Are you italian?

It's not up to the MyBB staff to make bridges. It's up to either the CMS community or the MyBB community.

Anche io!
Ho visto la tua modifica, solo che MkPortal è un pò troppo semplice. Vorrei qualcosa di più professionale, anche se al momento mi sembra l'unica soluzione!
Grazie!

You're right!
But I don't know any type of language to do a bridge!

Well its mainly just editing the CMS's User Tables so that MyBB's user tables are the same. That and the cookie sessions are the same and not seperate. Thats all it is. BTW bridges are written in PHP and sometimes MySQL.

When you think about it it's actually shocking that there isn't one. I believe way more complex plugins have been written, that what a bridge would require.

At any rate, i think other Board software devs actually made one or two bridges, and it's funny but when you provide a bridge to the first one, usually their competitors find new stimulation to come up with bridges after, it's human nature.

It is extremely likely that absence of at least one bridge is causing diminished uptake in use, so it's definitely a worthy feature to go over the usual pathway of waiting for the community.

Or at least provide hooks so a plugin could populate the user information. Suck a hook would need access to the plain-text password.

There is not such thing as a plain-text password unless it's coming from the login/registration form, and in that case then yes; There are plugin hooks that allow you to hook into those.
