the rokclub code handles club 'groups'
phpbb3 is just a better solution than smf for us. it's pure GPL just like joomla which makes a bridge legal.
phpbb acl's control access to parts of phpbb3 period. rokclub controls the joomla stuff.
are you syncing users between rokclub and phpbb? Plus, where can I get my hands on a version of rokclub? =)
Choosing GPL products makes a lot of sense, although I really dislike the notion of "linking from a GPL product to a non GPL product is illegal"....as long as the bridge is GPL, who cares?
And no, it's NOT meant to start an argument, just my position
Thanks for answering!
