Again I have to give props to the developer for great programming skills - thank you.

A warning to anyone considering using this tool, and this is due to no fault of joomservices; Fireboard is not mature enough to move from SMF if you need restriction policies.

We run client-based services and were desperately seeking a 'bridged' solution for Joomla. For several months we have tried different Fireboard hacks to restrict clients to their own boards without success. Fireboard is not a viable solution if you need to keep boards invisible from members.

For whatever reason the Fireboard developers decided it was more important to put out a half-baked solution while propping-up this Web site with advertising instead of creating a solid core that was sustainable for any length of time. Without the ability to restrict members from sections they have no reason to view, Fireboard is no better than 99.9% of the other forum software already at mature versions.

My suggestion; keep SMF, unbridged or try the JoomlaHacks solution albeit unsupported. Wait several months and come back here to see if Fireboard has reached the level of sophistication that supports basic restriction policies.

For group access in an integrated forum without third party extensions this might have what you may be looking for.

i think it will be interesting to have another one for phhpbb :
there is one working but not with a real support.


and the most fabulous idea is to have another one script for switching back From Fireboard to SMF (or Phpbb).

and why not working with the official team of those two another famous board !?
