I'm currently running a wordpress site for which I want to help the site visitors to get in contact locally. By using the postalcode for example a map could be created with markers for all the registered users. By clicking on a marker a user should be able to get in touch with this person.
First I was looking at phpBB which covers the "get in touch" part for the visitors (private messages, later maybe also the forum functionality). What's would be missing is a member map, so registered forum users see who is also registered that lives near them. There are two deprecated extensions for phpBB that already provide the mapping feature (OpenStreetMap/GoogleMaps).
I already set up ProcessWire and copied the contents to get a feel for it (without the theme however). The forum on this site looks pretty good and is seemlessly integrated. So I was wondering...
- is the forum on this site a custom development based on processwire? If so, is it closed source or can others use it?
- If not, would integrating phpBB into a processwire site be possible? Integrating phpBB into Wordpress doesn't look easy / or not very stable with version changes.
