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.

There is ''altered beast'' which is based of the no longer maintained ''best'' forum app. But if you want a truly slow and insecure server, then please use phpBB. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So, it does seem that the general feedback is to avoid phpBB. In Rails, all options are still open to me... my curiosity is currently piqued by Vanilla which is something that looks very interesting.

I know a few phpBB forums that have been hacked, moreover it is badly coded (slow buggy, etc) and the ''extensions'' are even more badly coded. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The TODO.html is not updated all that regularly since I''m the only one working on the project, you''ll find a lot of the features in the first 2 sections are done already. I was considering implementing a captcha system for registrations at a later date. ----- Ryan Bigg Freelancer http://frozenplague.net On 04/12/2008, at 12:21 AM, Jeffrey Lim wrote:> > Ryan Bigg wrote: >> There is my project called rboard http://github.com/radar/rboard >> compatible with latest rails and supports internationalisation >> >> > > cool!
