In my case, I have another page on my site, with forums as a subdirectory. I figured out much of the profile integration for register, edit profile, username, user id, private message link, private message count, forgot password, and a form for logging in. For the logout link, I did it like so:

<?php
define('FORUM_ROOT','forums/');
require_once('forums/config.php');
require_once('forums/include/common.php');
ini_set('error_reporting',6135);

$USERID = $forum_user['id'];
$USERNAME = $forum_user['username'];
$LOGOUT_TOKEN = generate_form_token('logout' . $USERID);

// you may have another way to get your base URL; this is mine
$sScriptName = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$sBaseName = basename($sScriptName);
$BASE = str_replace($sBaseName,'',$sScriptName);

// your other code goes here
?>
<a href="<?= $BASE ?>forums/login.php?action=out&id=<?= $USERID ?>&csrf_token=<?= $LOGOUT_TOKEN ?>">Logout <?= $USERNAME ?></a>

Tested on PunBB 1.3 RC.

If anyone wants to fork this hack into an official extension for FluxBB and PunBB, please be my guest.

Okay, Utchin. I understand. Thanks.

All I can see is that PunBB has a working Private Messaging feature, while Flux does not, and I've been patient enough to try every conceivable normal means to install the two separate PM mods that are out there.

Based on time constraints, I guess I'll go with PunBB for now. If and when FluxBB has a working PM mod and is stable in other aspects, I'll go back and switch to it. (However, that might be scary as far as moving all the existing forum posts and PMs from PunBB to Flux.)

Now, the one thing I didn't try is version 1.2 of Flux, but I imagine that's pretty ancient by now.

Installing pun_pm on stable Beta2 also fails with:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method DBLayer::create_table() in /var/www/e1/forum/admin/extensions.php(139) : eval()'d code on line 61

Yep, this link installed:

http://connorhd.co.uk/fluxbb/private_messaging.zip

...but it was not working properly. First, you don't see New Messages. Second, when you go to your profile and try to compose a message, it's got errors and doesn't function.

I'm going back now to pun_pm to see if I can go to Profile, create my first private message, and see if that enables the new messages link on all the pages.

Okay, now that's something I didn't know. Okay, I'll start to work on moving my changes over to FluxBB and to get the PM working. PM is pretty critical for my client.

So what version of Flux should I be using if I'm liking 1.3 RC of Pun? And where is that PM mod that works? I really like the PM mod I found for Pun. (It's the one that makes a directory pun_pm and its manifest.xml says "Private Messaging 1.0b".)

I have it working on PunBB 1.3 RC. I don't know how to make a portable mod out of it yet, though. I can run diff files on the tinymce folder and the PunBB folder to let someone know how I did it. I posted this into the PunBB 1.3 Extensions forum to see if an extensions developer can help me get this set up. I'm waiting on someone to respond.
