Forum Integration

[scritty]

I currently have an install of PhotoPost Pro and would like to install a forum (most likely PHPBB as that's what I'm most familiar with).

All of the Forum Integration information I see on the PhotoPost site talks about PhotoPost being an add-on to an existing forum. I will be doing the opposite in that I already have PhotoPost installed and will be adding the forum.

1. Will I have any problems getting PhotoPost and the forum integrated using this installation approach?

2. And, once I have the two integrated, is it possible to easily associate a specific PhotoPost gallery with a specific forum category. For example, let's say I have a gallery named "Dogs" and a forum category named "Dogs". Can they be associated with one another so that if a user is viewing the "Dogs" gallery, there's a link that will take them to the "Dogs" forum category? Or, would a link like that have to be hard coded?

1. Before you can consider reinstalling Photopost to integrate with a forum you would have to consider how to import your photopost users into the forum. Example there is only one forum I know of which has an import script to import users into the forum from Photopost and that is vbulletin. So as long as you make an import script to import users to the forum or use a forum which has this capability you should be able to reinstall photopost to integrate with the forum and get it to work.

2. Nothing exists like this you would need to code in some type of functionality like this.
