Giddy Rob Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hey, Does anyone have an opinion on the best forum to integrate into a website? Or a list of the best ones? I would like it to look seamless if possible. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65785-integrating-a-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaLo2FrEeEk Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Consider integrating the site into the forum instead, it's a lot less work. Look here: http://claninfectionist.com I started with the xbox 360 theme for the forum, then modified it to work with the normal php and html of a website, it only took 2 days.

mattison Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i would say SMF - they are easy to use, and if you download a template you like EG the layout i would work around that change the images ETC. My other would be make a totaly own forum not VB just code your self could take a while, but it will be totaly to your specs and totaly origional Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65785-integrating-a-forum/#findComment-328775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcanker Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i'm a HUGE fan of XMB forum. It is pathetically easy to install and maintain and there are a ton of user-created hacks to handle anything feature that you might want added on. I've also been able to futz around with it pretty easily to have it recognize the login information from my site's main portal. I'm a high school English teacher and I used XMB for a year as a for a discussion forum class requirement. I didn't have one problem with it that wasn't something regarding a change that I made on my host server, and it never got hacked once. FTR, I started using XMB a few years ago because phpbb wasn't compatible with mysql 5.0 when mysql 5.0 was first released. XMB is also used to host www.borsboards.com which gets some decent traffic.
