I have had some luck using the odbc drivers for MySql you can link access directly to your web site data base
the password encrypting is where I have ran into trouble but I am sure there is a work around

Also Navicat works great for any database jobs

You folks want to put a project together and lets share code ideas?

Not sure about the term catch, sounds ominous
But there are many session type methods in the API
check the API wiki on the dev site

Great I have started dabbling with the code, though I am no coder by any means
Since I am testing the bridge my plan is to try and leverage the connections to the tables for phpbb3 to retrieve latest post and such to a module in 1.5

so far little success

I am struggling along trying to get some modules working for phpbb3 in joomla 1.5 sadly not moving as quickly as I need to. Anyone interested in teaming up with me? It would be nice to have mentors working with small groups to get some action back into the skype chats and some actual project coding ...

Ah your in the wrong forum

this is 1.5 coding 101

Most likely your missing and include
this is at the top of content.php component

defined('_JEXEC') or die();

jimport('joomla.application.component.controller');

Do you have the proper includes in place?
Can you be more specific on what you mean by dont work?

I helped someone get through this on a module
he basically fixed it by looking at an existing modules install file.
That might work here

Thank for offering to do this, looks like you have some good things started I am currently trying to learn by coding a recent posts module from PHPBB3 not so much to distribute as I am sure there will be good ones out there, but more to learn If I had to say what I really want to develop it would be...

I dont see it, does it error on install?

This is very tempting, But I think at this point all I am learning is that I am not as good as I thought.
Dont want to slow you down

You cant sell Joomla, might be a good time to read the license

Jalil I must apologize, I just dont understand your posts.
Maybe someone else can jump in and help

Ok so we are here to learn to code J1.5 that means looking silly should be ok right? so take it easy on me. I am trying to actually write a phpbb3 latest post module for J1.5 Steps to my approach get a module skeleton to work and install. (thanks to the wiki and the 1.5 module hello world) done Modi...

more and more I find myself going here

Most of the progress I have made has been on the chats so I would encourage you to jump in and try to code something. If you run into trouble post a specific question. I have seen many helpful answers posted here. If you need a more interactive experience the chat is the way to go. While I understan...

A lot of the folks in J101 are using the eclipse IDE, it has a neat project tool that allows you to list all of the built in functions and classes No need for a pdf, the code is right there in your developing environment. You have stated you dont want to participate in the skype chats, well that is ...

Hope it is not just me, but your posts are very confusing,
I thought you were mentoring people coding looking for "students"

Well that was a pretty broad stroke but it seems the jist of it is where is joomla going. Well it seems fairly clear on the road map As far as how Joomla will be used, well I think that is limitless. Some will use it for personal sites as they always have, others will build social or community sites...

So are you needing write code in order to do this?
Or are you just asking how to restrict access to the wrapped page with the application on it?

I know folks have used Moofx in modules. So without knowing a great deal more than that I am not sure.

That would be more like a component I would think. You might could have a module that showed adds from a classifieds component
To my knowledge there is not a classifieds component ported yet for 1.5 native

Patience is tough Truth is 1.5 is a huge leap forward. I think it is going to be very difficult to expect the pieces to fall into place as fast as we would like. Good thing we have 1.0 there to keep things in place until we get there. Still, the forum piece is going to be addressed (hopefully soon) ...

You did a fine job there. Thanks for sharing this information

BTW mono slideshow works fine in 1.5 it is a flash based photo gallery

Please do, I have been wondering if it would make a good skeleton type thing for more developed modules

Abhimanyu

Welcome to the world of Joombies
We are slowly ramping up. Some of us have a version of php eclipse installed and working and are learning how to use it to host projects on joomlacode

It is a good time to jump in, and you would be a very welcomed participant.

I have not tried it on 1.5 yet, but will make an effort to do so mono slide show is added as a module

We have some pros wondering around and helping us noobs
it is shaping up to be a good introduction. A sort of quick start group.
Currently we are learning to set up the IDE and how to communicate with one another

welcome aboard
