Hai folks. In my goal to update from 3.0 to 3.1 for tellementnomade.org, i'd come with the need to rewrite a bridge between WP & phpbb. To do so, i'm working on multiples plugins to get the 2 of them to interact in the smoothest way . Now that Phpbb got its own events, it wont be a "standalone" plugin like we could have seen through the laters plugins, and so will Wordpress. It means that actions that are supposed to be triggered will be through the CMS event, not "on the go when it's needed", that explains why there is 2 plugins. PHPBB stays the main source of information in both plugins (that says WP syncrhonize from phpbb, and not the opposite ).
It is, actually ,a bit experimental: my goal is to make it robust, so that we rely a lot on core functions instead of rewriting them (which was mostly done because naming methods conflict, both pbpbb and wp not using namespaces) : to do so, i've done some "proxy class" (aka monkey patching) that are automated. You may encounter some stranges situations if the other cms path is not settled properly.
Thanks for anyone on whom i copied the sources (see links) & thanks to the folks on IRC
