I used this to: I wish I could have used it to synchronize a Joomla 3.3.6 site with a phpBB 3.1.2 forum .
It looks like it won't happen.
Owner's reply: Unfortunately, user's payment was suspected as fraud and our payment system (not us) asked this user to provide additional details in order to confirm his identity. We didn't even know anything about this issue because user haven't ever contacted our support center or emailed us directly via contact form on our site.
We always helped our customers with similar issues in the past, so being generous enough to spend a minute and contact us is the best way to overcome such problems.
Honestly, this is an amazing phpbb-joomla bridge and has so much features that extends to many important component of Joomla. If you are having phpbb and you are planning to combine it with CMS, then you have to use this bridge - no doubt! The bridge makes the integration so easy and you dont need to edit any codes or edit any files for Joomla nor phpbb! This takes phpbb to a whole new level. It integrates the Joomla users with phpbb users, syncs the groups in phpbb and Joomla, syncs avatars, profiles, etc.., you can also incorporate this bridge to work with Community Builder, JomSocial and EasySocial. It doesnt stop there, the bridge even has settings to send forum notifications to EasySocial system notifications, sync user account both ways, and a whole lot more. To top all of this, the support is simply amazing. The developer added so many of my requests to this bridge without even charging extra to add those features that I had requested. A very dedicated developer and a very powerful bridge. This was my first ever paid extension and I am happy that it is... Its worth every penny you spend on this and I highly recommend this!!
I was looking at merging my forum with Joomla and looked at different solutions, and this one is by far the best and the support is second to none, they went above and beyond to help me!!

Easy to install but knowing you have such excellent support makes this extension a must for all phpBB3 forum and Joomla website owners!!

Well worth the money, which is nothing for what it does!!

Excellent product



Posted on 18 May 2014
1.Easy to install.

2.Clear instructions.

3.Includes ready styles for the forum compatible with joomla.

4.G-R-E-A-T Support!



This extension is so nice that it's hard to realize that there is a phpbb forum inside joomla. Maybe there will be some conflicts with css files but trust me, their support will help you.



A BIG thanks from me!
I am running Joomla and phpbb on one of my sites and i have to say that this bridge the best solution to integrate both, an excellent example of how to code an extension to work perfectly. i had some issues and they have been resolved right away so support is 5 stars!!!, you are in good hands with these guys.

Only thing that can be small problem is it doesn't have a plugin for sh404sef if you are running this extension. since it is popular by many joomla site owners i would suggest to make one.
If you want an easy to integrate bridge for phpBB with excellent support, I thoroughly recommend p8pBB. This component does exactly what it promises.

Thank you Alterbrains for the best support I've gotten by far.
