I guess he’s not going to share. That’s like saying, “I’ve solved world hunger!!” And then walking away.
When I start working on this, I am going to put my results in my forum. I welcome anyone else who will be working on this problem to post to my forum. I think WordPress is great, but I have a hard time viewing this forum.
Hacks Forum
Also, I have seen somewhere that both Coppermine and 4images have hacks to share login information with phpBB. I’ll have to check out what they are using and maybe that will be the direction to take for WordPress.
Doh!! Last post was by me. Thought I was logged in.
I think this would be very very usefull.
If anyone makes this, he/she would be a god.

http://www.greatestjournal.com does this as well. When you sign up for an account at greatestjournal, you are automatically given an account at their phpbb. Not only that, but if someone sends you a message over at the bb, then on the greatestjournal.com header, you are notified that you have a new message. I would absolutely love to be able to do that for my site, but have not found anywhere online how to do it. I’d love to find out.
I ran across an authentication and user management scripts from this guy : http://www.beanbug.net
I now think it might be good to have a separate user management and authentication tables outside of each of the applications.
The “centralized authentication” would hold the username and basic user information(name, e-mail, password), which it would send to the other applications. So, when the user updates his password, it only has to be done in one place. The “centralized authentication” would log the user in and then pass the appropriate cookie or whatever to the other applications. Any application specific user controls would still be handled by the admin screens of that application.
I’ll look into this some more. I didn’t really feel like working on it last weekend.
It fell off my radar of things to do.
We never got back a response from the guy who integrated WP and and phpBB. But, I went to his site back when he posted and saw that if you make a comment, it gets created in phpBB.
This sounds interesting… almost like combining phpBB and WP to make phpNuke, which I think has a journal system on it.
Of course, after working with a friend of mine on http://www.zaku.us and getting frantic IMs at 3 am whenever he changed systems and couldn’t figure it out, I personally would never use one. They seem more trouble than they’re worth.
Not to mention the lack of premade templates for those not familiar with how to make them.
I found this. php login integration.
I don’t have time to look at it right now, but it might be part of the solution that we are looking for.
Has any such solution been posted? I am not familiar with PHP coding but would like to do a similar thing (shared log-in tables) with my weblog. Thanks.

Is there any update on this yet? I would love to be able to integrate my PhpBB with WordPress.
I started looking into the integration again.
I’ll update this thread if I make any progress.
I’m no coder, but I’d appreciate someone to iniciate Authentication project.
I think of an elite auth-script, that could be supported by various systems, like WP, phpBB, Gallery and others, allowing for users to login once for all the parts of a website, also for webmasters to form a hyper-flexible CMS from the freely-chosen independent components.
Integration with phpbb would be a great feature – I assume 1.5 doesn’t offer this yet?
why not use bbpess?
you can share same database…well… not quite.. duplicate user.
search for “bbpress” 😉
