Hey RocketTheme community,
I've just decided to make the switch from JFusion to RokBridge. JFusion is taking me for an absolute ride and just about driving me around the bend. It's caused issues for my entire site...
Anyway.. What goes in the "Bridge Path" input field in the component parameters for RokBridge?
I take it the phpBB3 Path means the directory that phpBB3 is installed in ... But what's the bridge?

It's difference between synced and bridged.
Is your phpbb modified at any way, or pure source ?

My phpBB forum is not modified. But it does have a few template modifications.
And I'm talking about this:

It says phpBB3 path can be found.
You should have installed phpbb in the parth "joomlaroot/distribution"
Delete your forum folder.
And then you will see everything is working correctly.

Have it what you want.
Since Rokbridge will create the item itself.
So if you set bridge path as community.
It will create a path named community. And install some files there.
And your url will be yourwebsite.com/community/index.php

- Okay, thanks. Will the forums have the same template as my site?

Yes and no.
You will need to install the specified RT phpbb template. That is same template as the joomla.
Then they will match and be synced.

- You will have a menu item for phpbb, but phpbb still needs it's own template.
