Add-on Forums

I recently installed a Forum (phpBB) from Softalicious and Im not sure how to link the current Orca Forum tab to the phpBB Forum.

Anyone know how to do this?

Why don't you just create a new menu for PhpBB and remove the old Orca menu. To create a new menu, you can run this query:

INSERT INTO `sys_menu_top`(`ID`, `Parent`, `Name`, `Caption`, `Link`, `Order`, `Visible`, `Target`, `Onclick`, `Check`, `Editable`, `Deletable`, `Active`, `Type`, `Picture`, `Icon`, `BQuickLink`, `Statistics`) VALUES
(NULL, 0, 'PhpBB', '_bx_phpbb_menu_root', '/phpbb', '', 'non,memb', '', '', '', 1, 1, 1, 'system', 'modules/phpbb/|bx_phpbb.png', '', '0', '');

You might also need to add a language key in your language file for phpbb_menu_root

P.S: The above query is not tested, so you might have to make some tweaks.

Honestly, Im new to everything here.

I wouldnt know how to "run" anything unless I was shown how first.

Okay, then forgot about what i said before...try this:

Go to admin panel->Builders-<Navigation Menu and click on "Forum"

Then try to change the link there to point to your PhpBB installation and see if that works....

HTH

I did that and I may have done something wrong. When I installed the forum, I changed it from "phpB" to "forum" before I hit installation. I will try again though.

Im now looking around the Orca forum and Im curious... is there a way to set it up where you dont have to click so many things just to see one post? lol

You can set the groups to auto-expand. This will become a front-end option in the next update (and is available now if you know your way around Trac).

I dont know Trac so I guess Im waiting!

Thanks for all the replies! Youre all so nice!

I said there was, as of currently, no front-end option for this. However, there is a back-end option.
