I'm still looking around for a good forum to integrate with a Radiant site that I'm working on, and I have narrowed it down to three options in the Rails world: (a) RForum - that seems to be updated less frequently, but seems quite good! (b) Altered Beast - quoted as an exemplary Rails 2 application (c) El Dorado - Seems quite nice and has nice extra features
As such, my main requirements are quite simple: (a) Multiple forums, discussions and messages (b) Good spam controls and support for moderating messages, users, etc. (c) User control and registration (d) Some integration with e-mail (like watching threads) - optional. (e) Support for multi-lingual messages (UI doesn't need to be) (f) Some support for Integration: modify style sheets, simple recent messages page, a simple user model, etc. Looking around in the non-Rails world, I find that PhpBB is popular but has a bad name when it comes to security and some people say that it is quite hard to integrate with/ change. Another one I stumbled across is called Vanilla and it seems to have a good reputation for a clean UI and ease of integration and support for add-ons. URL: http://getvanilla.com/ Does anyone have any suggestions/ experience to share? It is acceptable for the BBS to run on a separate sub-domain from the Radiant site. There is no need for there to be very tight integration between the two. Thanks for your help.
