Topic: TYPOlight bridges to PunBB!

Not sure if you all are aware of TYPOlight, but Leo (the developer) just completed an ingenious forum bridge between the cms and PunBB that requires ZERO code modification to the forum. Here's a listing of the capabilities:

--> All registration, login, logout, password reminder and profile modification pages automatically forward to equivalent TYPOlight pages
--> Frontend member registration on a TYPOlight site also adds the member to the forum
--> Logging into and out of TYPOlight or PunBB takes affect in both systems

I wrote a brief tutorial on implementing the bridge here - http://www.typolight.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1415

Seems interesting. Could be a nice boost to a young CMS, and a remainder for the old ones and less young that things are moving.

Re: TYPOlight bridges to PunBB!

outstanding! the more systems that do this the better for all i say.

edit: just tested out TYPOlight and i have to say it's very nice and functional. a very versatile system. wish there were more choices for templates/skins though.

Re: TYPOlight bridges to PunBB!

Is TYPOlight an old fork of Typo3? It looks like a much simplified version of Typo3.

Rickard,

Actually, the only similarity between Typo3 and TYPOlight is the name and some of the concepts. TL was created from scratch to be a more admin-friendly and lighter version of T3.

Re: TYPOlight bridges to PunBB!

Currently, you must manually template PunBB to take on the look of a TYPOlight site. Because the bridge is so new, none of the mods have been integrated into TL's backend, although it has a powerful API for things like this.

Re: TYPOlight bridges to PunBB!

quaker,

TYPOlight ships with an example website that you can install. It has a full template already created. There are two screencasts that show two different ways to to create a template:
--> http://www.typolight.org/wiki/tutorials … _templates
--> http://www.typolight.org/wiki/tutorials … _templates

I'm just a moderator in the TL forum, so I don't have access to the PunBB style. You could either contact Leo or grab the css files by looking at the forum source.
