Contao Forum Bridge Bundle
--------------------------

[](#contao-forum-bridge-bundle)

Allows the Contao member system to work with phpBB.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

1. phpBB has to share a database with the Contao site.
2. The two sites need to be located on the same server.
3. The two sites need to be located under the same top-level domain (but can be on different subdomains).

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

1. Install the Contao Forum Bridge Bundle into Contao.
2. Install the Contao Bridge phpBB extension into phpBB.
3. Contao CMS and phpBB will now be able to communicate.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Once the module is installed, go to Contao's 'Settings' and set the following options:

OptionDescription**Enabled**Whether or not the forum bridge is active.**CMS/Forum Domain**Enter a key here to secure requests to the forum. The same key needs to be entered into phpbb.**CMS/Forum Domain**Whether or not the forum bridge is active.**Forum URL**The URL under which the forum is located. E.g. **Register page**The Contao page where the registration module is placed.**Login page**The Contao page where the login module is placed.**Log out page**The Contao page where the logout module is placed.**Account page**The Contao page where the account module is placed.Overview
--------

[](#overview)

All account management (including registration, login and logout) is handled by Contao. Once logged into Contao, members will automatically be logged into phpBB upon visiting the forum.

### Members

[](#members)

When members are added to Contao they are automatically mirrored in phpBB so each member account in Contao has a corresponding user account in phpBB. You can manually assign Contao members to specific phpBB users using the 'phpBB Account' field on the 'Add/edit Member' form in Contao.

### Groups

[](#groups)

Contao groups can be associated with phpBB groups. To do so, edit a Contao 'Member Group' and select the name of the corresponding phpBB user group from the 'phpBB Group' field.
