bryangene Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm looking for a nice forum to integrate with an existing user database for an up and coming social network. I'm looking for something similar to dilly.com's. (http://www.thedilly.com/chat_and_forums.wtd) anyone have any ideas?

Hypnos Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Just as long as you pick a proven and secure forum, you can't go wrong. Look at PHPbb, SMF and Invision. Once you find a forum you like, just add the columns you have in your user table to the users table of the forum. Dump your table to a .sql file, and then import it to the forum table. If any default values need to be set, just use an UPDATE query for the range of ids. The harder part is intergrating the login system, but you don't HAVE to do it. You can make the user login again (same username and pass) to use the forum.
