yes
my request is :
when phpbb moderator first connect on wp site, they must be assigned in Subscriber group not more
The forum organisation is not the same as the website organisation
On my old Phpbb forum i have 4 groups
- founder
- webmaster
- moderators
- subscribe
On my news WP site i want :
- founder >>>>>>> WP Administrator
- webmaster>>>>>> WP Editor
- moderators>>>>>> WP Subscriber
- subscribe >>>>>>> WP Subscriber
It ll be great to have the possibility to adjust this in the plugin seetings

To change roles for users added from phpBB into WP in wp_w3all and you want custom configuration about this:
open
phpbb_groups table on your phpBB database
Look for
Group_Name field, related the group you want refer to.
So change as above explained, use the
group name to check against before insert users into wordpress, into:
addons/
ext_plugins_fixes.php file (1time)
and 2 times on
class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php file
the code to search for on files is:
if ( $phpbb_user[0]->group_name == 'ADMINISTRATORS' ){
$role = 'administrator';
} elseif ( $phpbb_user[0]->group_name == 'GLOBAL_MODERATORS' ){
$role = 'editor';
.....
Just search for string ADMINISTRATORS, to get immediately these three portions of code (1time into ext_plugins_fixes.php and two times into class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php
All this about users permissions, could be coded to be friendly and changed with more easy, maybe in a single dedicated function?
