Hello and good afternoon. I have a site that is using joomla, jomsocial and phpbb3. I have the forum and joomla site linked using jfusion at the moment. However, I have some problems and a few issues with our current setup. So, I have a few questions I hope that they will not be too redundant or dumb.

1) I notice that there is a frameless mode. How does this compare to jfusion and what are the benefits over jfusion? (less db calls, less processes, etc)

2) I have a heavily modified version of phpbb3 and custom template. Via jfusion, there are several that I can not get to work.
Would these and or any mods work or not work via p8pbb bridge?
... a) Who Was Here (on forum, post views)
... b) custom wysiwyg editor
... c) Welcome post modification

3) I have purchased and installed Avatar Select Gallery from Joomlaced. This also does not worth with jfusion, it causes an UTF8 error when trying to view the forum. Will this work and has anyone tried that you know of?

4) Are Jomsocial avatars shown on the forum posts? I saw several posts asking about this and saw that it was "in the works" however I could not find anything definite. I am currently using a custom plugin/hack to sync up the avatars between Jomsocial and phpbb3.

That is really all I can think of at the time. I really hope these are not too redundant, since I had searched the forum and viewed the information that I could in the documentation. I am sure I had missed something, if so, I apologize ahead of time.

Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated.

Peace,
Sarrene'

1) We provide adopted default phpBB styles for frameless integration, this helps to avoid CSS conflicats with Joomla template. No DB queries are executed.
2) We can't guarantee that any MOD will work, but usually we helps to modify the MOD to work with the bridge. I doubt that UTF error will arise.
3) Not sure if this will work, never faced this extension before.
4) Bridge doesn't show avatars from JomSocial, it synchronizes avatars changes in JomSocial to phpBB and vice versa.
