very simple forum needed

Post non-phpwcms related topics here - but I don't want to see "hey check this or that other cms". Post if you have a point or worthwhile comment, don't post just to increase you post count!

could you not just use phpbb and delete the UI code for the unrequired functionallity?
surely there are only a few pages that would need changes made.
fair enough it's very a sloppy way of working but you get a strong reliable and secure bb. I would imaging the if as most people write to the best of thier knowledge that a small and lightweight bb may not have the security or efficiency and performance of a more established and proven bb.
(there are exception to every rule though (except for this rule of course))

For a simple forum I'm a big fan of http://www.minibb.net/

It's a great and simple forum with good features. It should be able to run with an include, but for sure it can be run through an IFrame. Disclaimer - I haven't tried to integrate this into PHPWcms. I have integrated PHPBB using IFrame.

Thank you - and MySQL-Question

Post by macangelo »

Thank you both for your recommendations. I had a quick look at both.

I have a pricipally question. My site is hostet at a public provider. So far I booked 1 MySQL Database - which is used by PHPWCMS.

If I install whatever BB, does it require a second database or does it just create it's new tables?

Thanks a again - and have a great weekend
