"integration" -> registration

The registration works so far.

But when the shop user changes his password in the shop, the old password in phpbb remains. :(

Thank you.

I am thinking of adding a forum section to my website any suggestions on addons? or would I need to make it myself?

The way I've done it is to just install the forum in a subdirectory and link to it from the Zencart site. Zencart used to include a bridge to phpBB allowing visitors to register to both at once, but I don't think it works anymore.

Is there any official update regarding phpBB integration? (or bridge)

Re: How To Add A Forum To My Site?

Is this still working with Zen 1.3.9 ?
I have enabled the phpBB Bridge and both is running on the same server in the same SQL database. But for whatever reason the new customers are not set up in the forum.

Is there something additional where I need to edit the settings offline?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,
MiBo
