I think there is one on github right now. I saw it a while back but haven't had time to investigate.

I've been meaning to bring my phpBB forum 'closer' to my c5 pages, without actually accommodating one within the other (nice though that would be). I'm thinking that it should be possible to create a custom authentication system in c5 that would allow it to accept logins from the forum database. Doco at

I believe but can't confirm 100% that vanilla forum can have the same login as C5.
I can confirm that I had some success placing the forum on a C5 page.

did you follow a tutorial or something?

Here is a tutorial on how to setup a single sign on for both the forum and C5. I don't know enough about C5 to do it. Can you or someone else give a little help?
