A very cool addon. Don't have a use for it right now, but will surely have in future

All the webservices are XML based, so someone familiar with XML and phpBB should be able to write a phpBB plugin pretty easily.

Yea that doesn't help those phpBB admins who are more clueless than vBulletin admins

I wonder how good phpBB's plugin system is. I may take up the task myself when I have some time over the summer.

Some time this week I'll put together a page for people to 'register' their networks and compile a list of supported messageboard software. Though, this list will be just 'vBulletin' for the time being.

This is an awesome mod! I'm bookmarking this now and seeing how this mod goes along in the dev process. This would only help certain forums, as opposed to hurting them.


I'm wondering if anybody would like to join my network? I run http://zomgstuff.net

It's a closely-knit community that focuses on media, politics, gaming, and technology. We've got 10k members and almost 180k posts. If you run a forum with some related theme, PM me if you're interested.


Edit:
Does this include members online from the other boards on your board?
Can you also select what forum categories you want to share from either board?
Also, how does moderation work? If a mod on one site deletes something or moves it, is it moved/deleted from the other boards?

Hi! Your mod sounds great! But i got a question:

This plugin is developed using vBulletin 3.8.2 and has been used with 3.6.X and 3.7.X, though I will not support backwards compatibility anymore.

Does it mean, that a combination linke vb 3.7.2 and vn 3.8.2 wont work?

how do you remove a network?

I've got a question.... what about forum permissions? If site A has this shared forum set to be 'private' (only members of a special usergroup may see/post in it), then will this mod work since the posts from the other sites are set to be written as 'guests' and Site A doesn't allow regular guests to post in this forum? (I hope that made sense.)

[Mit3b]

wow i like this plugin !!

[Crrrazzzy]

can we get a better example of setting this up in the network management?

board a = slave where posts will go
board b = master where posts originate

i asked earlier on how to remove a network since i am doing alot of trial and error to get this to work to no avail

[waza]

I can't use it right now, but it's a very intresting mod.

[KURTZ]

really interesting mod ...

It should work just fine.

I'll release an update in a few days that will allow you to do this in the 'Network Manager".

Right now you'll have to remove the network in your database under the 'network' table..

I'll update the docs too with some better explanations of how to setup your own network.

Forum permissions do not carry across the network. So yes, you could have a network forum be private on one messageboard and have that same network forum be public on another.

I can't recall which permission it is off hand that allows Guest to post, but if I remember correctly as long as they're allowed to in the Usergroup (not necessarily in any forums) then the plugin should work.
