Discussion board integration

Hey all,

I've got a requirement for a discussion board on a
new site we are building for a client.

I've integrated phpBB2 for discussion onto
existing sites before, but was wondering if anyone
had any experience with other PHP discussion
boards they favored over phpBB2.

I found the login integration of BB2 especially
troublesome, though I did get it to work in the end.

Yea, phpBB2 is tough to integrate. I've been working with MyBB and I think
it's great! The templating is very simple (By bb standards). It's less
mature than phpBB, but they fix bugs faster and is quickly becoming very
stable. It works a lot like vBulletin except it's free and open source. I
know there is SMF too, but I don't use it, so I really can't tell you
anything about it.

Re: Discussion board integration

Hey Dave,

Thanks much for the tip. How about the log in
integration. That was the toughest part about
phpBB2, at least for me.

I assume MyBB has some kind of independent log in?
And how tough was it to accept a user ID say from
a $_SESSION variable and auto-log in the user to
the BB?

Thanks,
Skip
