joomla module development

[hybiepoo]

I have downloaded the p8pbb mod_login files, which adds the avatar to the login module.

I would like to develop this further though. Does the bridge allow us to query the phpBB database?
I'd like to add things like the users rank, rank image etc

Yes, sure:

Code: Select all

require_once(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_p8pbb/helper.php');

$fdb = p8pbbHelper::getForumDB(); 

$query = 'SELECT * FROM #__users';
$fdb->setQuery($query, 0, 50);
$rows = $fdb->loadObjectList();

p8pbbHelper::_restoreDB('j');

Excellent thankyou!

I can post up my final module if anyone is interested.
