It’s been a long time !

I just wanted to tell you all that I didn’t forget that many of you are waiting for new updates on my plugin “PHPBB Single Sign On”

I’m not here to tell you that there won’t be any new version !

But now, I’m on a very big project that will be released in beta version in august, and I’m the only developper on the project.

Just to give you an Idea of how big the project is, at the very beginning we started it with drupal. then we started to add all the plugins we needed : maps, geolocation, facebook connect … and BAM ! the www folder weighted … 100Mo !!!

for a web project, that is very big (on my advice)

But we took the decision to code it all by ourselves.

It’s a lot of work. but it’s a lot more optimized, and a great advantage is that I know EVERYTHING that is in my code !!!

Even if I like WordPress, And I use Drupal at work, I still prefer “Home Dev”.

So, I stop the parenthesis here.

That’s just to tell you that I will still be supporting my plugin in the future, and I hope one day to have the version 1.0 out !

(If someone wants to work with me on the plugin, send me a message through the contact form with your email, I would be happy to have someone else with me on this :D)

This time it’s another way of doing it that I will present to you.

Aaron Gustafson Author in A list Apart and many other blogs and webzines.

Created a sort of “browser plugin”. presented in the form of a Javascript script.

It will parse the CSS in your page. and apply the styles that are not supported by your browser.

Even better. you can create your own extension. This means you can create your CSS rules as you want.

No more problems with browsers, and we hope the community will quickly create some new extensions to CSS.

First, to support CSS3 and then to support some new ideas.

My Contribution will be a new WordPress plugin. As you understood, I love WordPress for it’s plugin abilities. And I’ll create many new plugins these next months.

To obtain more informations, you may visit the official website :  www.ecsstender.org

This worked very well and I was happy with this solution.

But one day, the version 2.8 of wordpress showed up. and the plugin didn’t work anymore.

I don’t remeber when it was, something like february.

But these days I was angry. The team of the original plugin didn’t release a new version of the plugin that was working with wordpress 2.8.

So, I was determinated to create thsi plugin by myself. I read many documentations in the WordPress Codex. Many Tutorials and other websites.

In 20 days, I got it working again. but for my own use, and I made many ugly modifications to the source of phpBB.

I didn’t know that there was no official plugin anymore. When I saw it last week. I knew that I could make the new plugin.

And now it’s done. The plugin is in the official WordPress repository here : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/

Or you can search for “phpbb single sign on” in the admin area of your WordPress blog to add it.

Don’t forget to run the installer and to set the path to phpbb.

The phpbb folder has to be within the wordpress folder, preferably in “forum/”.

You need to add the slash at the end of the path.

For support, you can send me a mail with the contact form or just post a comment.

A support forum will be created soon (with this new plugin ;-))

P.S. the contact form had some problems lately. they’re corrected now, I ask to the person who sent me a message to send it again. or I won’t be able to answer them.
