Realistically this integration of phpBB3 into DF is very unlikely to happen. Why? Simple. The diffs between the 2 aren't that great. Someone coming from phpBB3 to DF will want phpBB3 obviously, but anyone already far enough into DF to have sufficient knowledge of DF to code the mod/port correctly/efficiently is already going to be in a DF forum, so why would they want to do the work for such a small change?

So is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Probably not.

Thanks for your replying mate ... I am not talking about the current website integration with phpbb3.
I am talking about myself that I want to launch a new website and I want to use dragonfly cms and phpbb3 forum, and I'd like to know if there is any kind of integration between them?
Thanks

Integration, no, bridged unlikely until someone builds one.

phpbb3 is considerably different to both phpbb2 and DragonflyCMS's CPG-BB.

In case I want to have a powerful website has a CMS and a Forum ... can you please advise a suggestion for a CMS and a forum and the main issue for me is the integration.
Please advise ... I know that someone may say that this question is off-topic but I am really need an advise because I am really can not make up my mind and do not want to start playing with different tools ... So I want to start with something powerful rich and stable.
Thanks indeed in advance

You're right - it is off-topic, even off-forum.

I recommend Simple Machines Forums - you take it from there - it's not a matter for continuance either in this topic or on this site.

People is worried with Forums and I understand them.

Some things can be the pillards of a standard Website:
- Forums
- Blogs
- News
- PhotoGalleries

The most important of them for a community are Photogallery and Forums... specially Forums.

I hope that next edition of DragonFly will come with most of the improvements of phpbb3.

But I think that it's very important to have a bridge for porting portals of the last phpbb version to our DGF, from the first day. Of this way, we can get people that needs somthing more than a Forum.

totally agree, thanks to rusty for linking me up with this one, as we started a survey at dfaddons and after reading this thread, again, all can say is, anyone seen raven around ?
