I have read through many threads about phpBB but can't get my hands around the basic integration instructions. Everything I read implies the phpBB is installed at the time I am installing PhotoPost but my situation is the opposite so I am trying to determine if I can change a parameter somewhere or if I need to go through installation steps again.

I have PhotoPost 4.8.1 installed and am a happy user.
I then installed phpBB 2.0.10, I believe successfully.

I am not after a tight integration where the two products are merged. I want to keep them as two separate entities on my site. My sole objective is one sign on, a shared user database.

If someone comes to my site and wants to just use the photo album they sign on there. If they want to just use the forum they sign on there. But in any case if they move on to the other php product (while in the same session) they are not asked to sign on again, but are recognized as already signed on.

I am a novice at php but would appreciate someone pointing me to the write variables to change to pull this off.

Thank you.
