How to hack phpBB?

[Snyke]

Well the title might be a bit misleading:
Some time ago I was trying to reverse engineer the authentificatio n
system in phpBB because I was building a community site in which there
was a phpBB Forum integrated as central component. The idea was to give
the users the possibility to log in once and then move on the entire
site without having to bother about login again.
It didn't go very well, I was able to use the login data and some other
stuff, but the autologin stuff didn't work and in some cases my login
attempt was just refused.
Now my question is: is there any good resource on how to integrate
phpBB into community sites (or better, build community sites around
phpBB).

This includes:
- Login system
- Autologin system
- Profile data
- Using polls from phpBB outside phpBB
- Using threads as News (and subsequent answers as comments)
Any help is very appreciated.

NO HACKING NEEDED. Just use phpnuke or postnuke. They do every thing
you are asking for (and more, and you will surely need the "more"
later). They both integrate PHPBB.

NO HACKING NEEDED. Just use phpnuke or postnuke. They are great for a
community site, and do the first three items, and you can then code
the last 2 items (but much easier, since you are operating from a
working code). They both integrate PHPBB.
