RapidWeaver FAQ - Forums or discussion boards
How can I add a Forum or a Discussion Board like vBulletin or PhpBB to RapidWeaver?
What you would have to do is take a Forum like PhpBB’s which is great and I’ve been using for a long time
Chapter 1: Using third party services
Chapter 2: On PHP enabled servers
Chapter 1: Using third party services
If you don't want to upload and install a forum to your own server or your server doesn't fit the requirements then you can open one for free on a free forumhost like the following ones:
http://www.forumfree.com
http://www.freeforums.org
Or any other you find searching on google.
Then link it from your website or embed it using an iFrame.
However these services are mostly full of advertising, unreliable and little customizable.
I would really recommend you to install the Forum on your own server. It’s much more reliable and much more customizable. If you don’t have a hosting yet or your hosting doesn’t fit the minimum requirements have a look at the Publishing and Hosting FAQ.
Chapter 2: On PHP enabled servers
If you don’t have a hosting yet or your hosting doesn’t fit the minimum requirements have a look at the Publishing and Hosting FAQ.
You can read all you need to know about the installation process of PhpBB and how to customize your Forum at my other website PhpBBFAQ.org
Once you installed your Forum I would recommend you to add a page to your RapidWeaver for it. Then either link to it, use an iFrame to embed the Forum into the page or make a Redirect to it.
Installation of the PhpBB Forum is really easy.
Note: If you want to install a PhpBB Forum on HostExcellence read here.
