Is this forum also available as a module?

Hi guys,

I'm new to processwire and I like this forum very much , so I'm wondering if this forum also available as a module?

Or is there any forum module for processwire?

Thanks!

As it's presented in the footer of the page, this forum doesn't run in ProcessWire, but on ipboard. I can remember reading a post of Ryan mentioning, that one should use a forum software for forums, which I would also suggest. You could always integrate the forum software in ProcressWire to share things like user logins and accounts.

It's been debated a few times before.

I'm currently working on a simple forum based on comments, but it's very basic and isn't a module, so it's not something I'll be releasing etc, it just fits in with my site.

If you want a forum like this one, then you'll definitely be better off using dedicated software as suggested. But for a simple one, I'd advise to have a go yourself, as you will learn a lot. I've learnt so much since joining up here, I keep rewriting my code as there are always more efficient ways.

Very simple but effective forum module for PW:
