This is a development release of Joomla 1.5 WBB Authentication/Bridge!

Requirements:

Joomla 1.5.x
WBB 3.x

How to install:

Administration Page -> Extentions - Install/Uninstall
Upload&Install wbb3auth.zip

How to activate:

Administration Page -> Ententions >- Plugin Manager
Enable ->
Authentication - Woltlab Burning Board 3.x
Disable -> Authentication Joomla

How to configure:

Administration Page -> Ententions >- Plugin Manager
Edit Authentication - Worltlab Burning Board 3.x
Select local or remote installation types, if local enter the full or relative path including the last "/", e.g. "/home/user/public_html/forums/wcf/" or "./forums/wcf/"

Currently Works:

when you login in Joomla with Remember Me option checked, you will be logged in both Joomla and WBB (cookies)
when you login in Joomla, th WBB user is being imported to Joomla

Currently NOT working:

no SESSION support for WBB
when you logout in Joomla, if remembered me option was checked, you will still remain logged-in in WBB (remove cookie)

To do:

clean up wbb3auth.php (move codes to wbb3user.php)
create wbb3user plugin to handle sessions, cookies and login&logout

----------------------------------
Probably I can't finish the code by myself and will require some help or someone to take this over and extend the functionality so feel free to download and modify
