Hi! A question.

I was wondering if it is possible to hide, for instance phpbb forum, that I have in a subfolder to my site mysite.com/forum, from the public unless logged in to the jamroomsite? (Restrict access from non logged in internet visitors)

Phpbb has its own header and footer and it is seperat from the jamroom system.

Is it possible to "embedd" it into a jamroomsite/page without using iframes (Tried, it didnĀ“t work) some how?

For instance with:
{if jrUser_is_logged_in()}
show
{/if}

Kindest regards

It would be difficult.

PhpBB has its own set of code and URL's it uses, so when links from within phpBB change the URL, then your running on PhpBB's code, not Jamrooms.

So the options seam to become:
* change each of PhpBB's code to point to Jamroom's urls
Which would be too messy and need doing every time PhpBB updated, yuck
* change PhpBB to allow use of Jamroom's templates.
again need to change PhpBB's code so would need to be maintained, not so nice.
* build a bridge so that when you log in to Jamroom, it also logs you in to PhpBB
Probably the most elegant solution that allows for both systems to stay independent

@b360 has done some work in this area, might be best to ask him.
