whitedragon101 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi, I have finished a webshop (coded in php, Javascript, MySQL) for a client and they want to add a Forum . Does anyone have any recommendations for a free forum I can just drop in with minimal setup ? In an ideal world it would be good if it used MySQL so I can create a forum account at the same time they create their customer account, but its not the end of the world if that's not possible. Many thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/312072-recommendations-for-a-free-forum-to-drop-into-my-php-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
guymclarenza Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If you coded a shop, a forum should be a doddle.

Don't want to code a forum from scratch for no reason. Just wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations for what forum they prefer to use.

requinix Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I may be old, but last I knew phpBB and vBulletin were still the two reigning kings of free, traditional-style PHP forum platforms. But are you sure you want a forum? For an ecommerce site? Maybe what you need instead is some form of product discussion capability? Disqus is something I see in a variety of places. Not free, but cheap, and if the shop can't afford $9 a month then it's not profitable enough to survive in the first place.
