Smirftsch Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Is there any kind of forum module/plugin ? I mean there is this support forum here, but I can't find anything related to make one myself, how is this one done? Any advice is very welcome!

wbmnfktr Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 This forum here is powered by https://www.invisioncommunity.com/ - it's a paid solution. You could (technically) build something like a forum with ProcessWire itself but there is no real ready-made module/solution for that. All parts you would need are out there but at the same time it may end in a lot of work. Depending on what you really need and want, you might want to look for a real forum solution. Back in the day https://www.phpbb.com/ was kind of the best solution or at least it was easy to maintain. There are probably way more, maybe even better solutions out there. Yet I don't know any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elabx Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I had once considered vanilla forums since I tested their very embedding which seemed pretty straightforward. https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/articles/67-embedding-your-forum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Didn't know they were still alive. Used it once or twice with pretty good results back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is being maintained and in constant development: https://open.vanillaforums.com/categories/blog https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/docs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days when I used it, their project started to look unmaintained and kind of outdated. That was years(!) ago so it doesn't really matter anymore. But still... I was pleasantly surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 There is also Flarum, which is somewhat similar to Discourse (which uses Ruby on Rails). Incidentally, phpBB announced a new major release yesterday (3.3). Their next major release (4.0) will feature a new default theme. They use Symfony components now and Twig for templates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never call these "discussion boards" a forum though. I am glad we have a proper forum and not something like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
