Forum Addon

Permalink
Hello,
I am new to Concrete5 and have just installed version 8.3.2. I am trying to find a forum/discussion board add-on. Is there something like this available or am I better installing something like phpBB for that part of the site?
Thanks,
Michael.

Very simple forum-like behaviour can be implemented using the built-in 'conversation' block.

Probably the most thorough c5-based solution is
https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/interest-i...
It's still in development and isn't as easy to install as marketplace add-ons, but it seems to be getting positive feedback.

phpBB and the like are substantially more powerful, but getting the same look and feel across your site would be nearly impossible.
