Great and Easy to Install



Posted on 02 August 2024
Functionality
It works great.. wish Joomla search would search phpbb. Appreciate Alterbrains
Ease of use
Very easy to use, not much to change and hoping Alterbrains keeps it up
Support
Haven't had to use the company for support yet but the forums seems pretty good and I saw a support system for tickets.
Documentation
Documentation was easy to use to get going without hesitating wonder if this is the right next move
Value for money
I feel its great value for the money. Heck another joomla forum doesn't support syntax highlighting for code and phpbb comes by default
I used this to: utilize it for programmers to share code of programs that they are working on or to show others how to accomplish a task they are working on which is why syntax highlighting is important.

Works seamlessly and invisibly to log Joomla! users into phpBB and vice-versa.

There are a lot of options which makes for a lot of room to make this work as you wish. Once set up no need for further intervention.

If you read the instructions then it all just works. I had to do some minor css tweaks but that’s about it.
Ease of use
Simple to install, lots of options and it all just works. You may have to do some minor css editing depending on your template.
Support
Dev goes above and beyond to answer questions and help out and the response it quick. Quite possibly the best support experience I’ve ever had.
Documentation
The PDF install guide is easy to follow... just make sure to read it. After that it all just works.
Value for money
It does a lot and works so it is definitely worth the money. It excludes extras like a better login module and a latest topics mod.
I used this to: Integrating phpbb3 with Joomla for login etc for a site with 2K+ users

Great integration solution



Posted on 16 April 2020
Functionality
Powerful and flexible with plenty of configuration options, main (minor) limitations are due to phpBB specific architecture
Ease of use
Component is quite easy but integration itself requires some care in dealing with configurations of both systems and user import/export
Support
Fast and reliable support, providing solutions and suggestions, never missed a question... just GREAT!
Documentation
All the essential and useful informations, but the pdf format isn't very handy
Value for money
Yes, it is a complete and professional solution, absolutely worth the money!
I used this to: Integrate phpBB with a multisite joomla portal (2k+ users), with SSO and registration

A must have!

Tolles Werkzeug zum Verbinden mit PHPBB



Posted on 29 January 2016
Functionality
Als Webentwickler nutze ich seit jeher PHPBB für Foren. Die p8pbb-bridge integriert das Forum perfekt in Joomla - 1A.
Ease of use
Einfach zu verstehende Anweisungen machen die Integration sehr simpel.
Support
Per Email habe ich besonders raschen (<2 Stunden) und besonders freundlichen Support erhalten.
Documentation
Einfach zu verstehen, kurz und prägnant gehalten. So wie ich es als Techniker und Entwickler liebe.
Value for money
Ist sein Geld in jedem Fall wert, wie ich aus mehrfacher Verwendung in anderen Kunden-Projekten bestätigen kann.
I used this to: Nahtlose Integration von phpbb in die Joomla-Installation.

Unglaublich gut



Posted on 19 January 2016
Functionality
Es ist genau das was ich gesucht hatte, die perfekte Verbindung zwischen Joomla und dem neuen phpBB3.1. Alles greift reibungslos ineinander.
Ease of use
Wenn es einmal läuft, muss man sich nicht mehr darum kümmern, Perfekt.
Support
Einen besseren Support habe ich noch nie erlebt. Da ich einen IIS7.5 nutze wurden die URL-Rewrites extra für mich umgeschrieben.
Documentation
Anfangs mit meinem bescheidenen Englisch etwas tricky, die beigefügte, teils bebilderte Anleitung reicht aber vollkommen aus.
Value for money
Jeden Euro wert, ich würde es wieder kaufen.
I used this to: Ich habe ein phpBB3.1 Forum in unsere Vereinsseite www.pilzfreunde.eu integriert und wollte einfach die perfekte Verbindung. Genau das habe ich mit dieser Lösung gefunden. Besten Dank an AlterBrains für die ausgezeichnete Unterstützung.
