Best Joomla Forum Extension: What Is FireBoard Forum For Joomla And How To Install It. FREE 000webhost.com website: www.000webhost.com PHPBB ( www.phpbb.com ) (free) and vBulletin ( http ) (commercial) are unquestionably the two leading PHP Based Forum/bulletin board “solutions” out there. (nods to free SMF as well www.simplemachines.org ). While these are excellent, robust products that can handle heavy traffic, providing fine tuning administration options, they are overkill for most websites. If you run a Joomla website, you will have to administer Joomla and PHPBB in separate back ends/interfaces, and PHPBB/vBulletin will require its own database which is a problem if you have a limited number of databases to work with. Because of the database issue, users will have to register in BOTH Joomla AND PHPBB/vBulletin, as so probably won’t. And, they WILL notice how differently the forum looks from the regular Joomla webite, which is quite jarring. Tha fact is, your Joomla website and forum WILL be two totally separate entities. For Joomla users, both 1.0, 1.5 and versions to come, there is another solution. It’s call FireBoard forum. FireBoard Forum seamlessly integrates into your Joomla instance, using the same users table of your Joomla instance, such that users need not register in both places. This also means that FireBoard Forum does not need its own database. And, you administer FireBoard Forum in your familiar Joomla back end. Understand that you will not get the same level of sophistication as you will with PHPBB/vBulletin/SMF, but sophistication is …

Hi alexwestconsulting
I have just been watching your video and I must admit it really is very good.
I really enjoyed watching it.
Already looking forward to more of the same in the future.
Cheers to your success.

yet another very good video. explained perfectly!
You mentioned phbb at the end of you video, you talk about a useless board. I tried phbb3 OMG! It took me like 45 minutes just to set up the front end of my forum. Spammers can still get in. PHBB3 is just too much work I can’t believe how simple Fireboard is. AWESOME!
Great tutorial, thanks for explaining the fbfiles. everything is working seamlessly. No more need for smf/joomla bridge
sweet, I just installed component_Fireboard_Forum_1.0.3, was successful and now trying to tweak things a little bit around. looks awesome users can now login to one place only.
it’s at kunena . com now: same thing as fireboard, just new name and home.
Please guide me on where to downlaod fireboard the standard version, I looked everywhere, please post the link
unfortunately, you will prob have the same prob with joomla. This is almost unavoidable with the base code always being updated, making probs for the plugins, plus the issue of javascript library (mootols,jquery,etc) clashes with one another and even with themselves, and compatability between all the different plugins. There is no easy fix, as you will soon see. Bottom line is use plugins sparingly and spread them out (not too many per page).
nice video. i been using drupal all most 2 weeks now and there are so many problems and bugs. every time u have to download modules. “ops” there is another problem i need to run and find some other modules to fix this crap ……… oooooH crap not this again :@ :@:@:@…..
