As I understand it, Kunena can be set up so that when folks post comments on you articles, then a new thread is automatically started in a designated Kunena forum. The thread will then contain all of the comments that are posted to the article. I don't know if this is out of the box with Kunena or if there is a separate module. I just remember reading about it.
I am looking for this functionality for PHPBB3. Is it possible? I did come accross a module (or workaround?) for PHPBB3 that would create a thread for every article on a joomla website. But this could get cumbersome very quickly. I only want a thread started when someone makes a comment.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
Try Jfusion plugin, that allows this to happen.

- Thanks. I took a look and Jfusion seems to be a useful "universal bridge". However, I do not see where it will allow comments posted at the bottom of articles to be automatically inserted into PHPBB.

Newsmaker, I don't think it is fair to call RT templates buggy.
But it's funny that you bring up Kunena. I started with Kunena. I really like the idea of a truly Joomla-integrated solution and It isn't a 1/2 bad forum in its own right. However, for me I didn't like how it didn't come with private messaging out of the box, but rather relied on yet more (large??) add ons (commuity builder, jomsocial, etc). Also, Kunena allowed moderators to see the IP addresses of posts, which was not good for us.
So I switched to PHPBB3, which is much more robust in many more areas than Kunena. But the grass is not always greener on the other side. I soon became frustrated with having to shoe-horn PHPBB into Joomla. Sure, the RokBridge works, but apparently have to WRAP it to make it look like it is still really part of the native site. I didn't like the huge PHPBB logo inside the wrapper, and it took some figuring out to remove it. I also didn't like how PHPBB didn't show the latest posts per forum on the main index page. You have need a mod for that. It doesn't even show the board category description on the main index out of the box. Turns out there is yet another mod for that. After looking into it more, it seemed that when I will get PHPBB to look and feel the way I want, it will be modified to a point where I will be uncomfortable upgrading down the line.
So now Kunena is looking more palatable to me. It may not be as robust as PHPBB but it has the basics down where it matters to me. And as you mention, I do seem to recall that Kunena can seamlessly insert comments on articles automatically into the forums.
I have a decision to make. - Last Edit: 15 years 5 months ago by lugnuts.

Also, I am having a heck of a time with being able to point folks to a direct thread with a WARAPPED PHPBB on Joomla.
When I copy the URL while reading a thread, and post it elsewhere, I just get them main index - not the specific thread. Is this something that Rokbridge should have dealt with? Or do I need to buy the matching phpbb style from RT to have it integrate seemlessly withing joomla?
