    hi
    I manage an associative site based on WP and PHPBB.
    Currently we are in a version of WP in 3.8 with the WP phpBB Bridge 2.0.7 plugin which does not support PHPBB 3.1 and higher and because of this we are still in PhpBB 3.0.x
    Every year the forum and site administrators are likely to change because of their function within the association.

    As a result, the creator account of the forum and the creator account of the site are no longer administrators or installers accounts which is problematic for your installation procedure
    Is it possible that the accounts that are administrator / moderators in PHPBB are then administrator / editor in WP?
    Is it possible to develop a function or option so that accounts belonging to a PHPBB group are also put into a specific group of WPs?
    currently we have more than 2500 common accounts between our Wp site and our PHPBB forum
    I can delete the accounts under WP to do the integration of your plugin and the installer account no longer has UID 1

    Do you think it’s possible to use your plugin in my configuration
    Thank you for your work on this plugin
    I translated it into French how can I send you the translation?

    To install without problems, you only should do this:
    setup an username in WP, and another, equal, in phpBB, both with same email.
    So activate the plugin using this user.
    This is not a problem.

    Is it possible that the accounts that are administrator / moderators in PHPBB are then administrator / editor in WP?

    Yes i will fix with a patch within tomorrow my time, the 1.7.8, than i will may reply here: it should not, but at moment the plugin add all users as subscribers.
    I’ve wait to answer to this question, because i want re-test this thing: as said, it should not, but instead add all users as subscribers.
    You can download a temp working patched version of class.wp.w3all-phpbb.zip here:
    https://www.axew3.com/common/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.zip
    this will add a coming logging in WP, or logged phpBB user, into WP, as:
    administrator, if the user belong as primary group to ADMINISTRATORS into phpBB
    editor, if the user belong as primary group to GLOBAL_MODERATORS into phpBB

    Yes it is possible to add with easy any further custom group if necessary, but it need to be added in case.
    (this patch not affect manual transfer phpBB to WP users, that is not mandatory, affect onlogin users in WP side, or phpBB logged users coming in WP).

    When the patch will applied, the code will be changed on next 1.7.9 in favor of the native way of WP to add users with specified role, that seem so not work in the way it is on 1.7.9 (and from long time i realize). On 1.7.9 will be added also to the not mandatory phpBB to WP users transfer process.

    Note that as on procedure help, it is mandatory instead, when integration start, transfer old WP users into phpBB.

    About language: very nice!
    the not so easy easy way, is here (read on top about Translator Handbook link):
    https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/projects/wp-plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration
    french is one of th most well translated!
    By the way, the needed translations for frontend, are really few! 10-12 strings or less if i’m not wrong.

    1.7.8 has been patched about this and another bug:
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/1-7-8-patches-log/#post-9708021
    you should replace the class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php file with the new one patched:
    https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/export/HEAD/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/trunk/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php
    that contain correct fixes.

    The patch to the other file wp_w3all_users_to_wp.php about (not mandatory) transfer procedure phpBB users to WP, if needed has been also patched.
