Hi,
If you're willing to use an external forum software, try JForum.
It'll require some work to integrate it with Magnolia (depends, how
much you need to customize the user interface) - but for example, it
is fairly easy to implement single-sign on (and share basic user
information) by creating a custom SSO-module to JForum (we
implemented a simple cookie-based SSO-mechanism).
Regards,
Timo

Hi
We use magnolia as cms system. Now one of our customers wants to
have a forum implemented. In the forum, any user should be able to
post. Are there existing magnolia applications that have already
implemented this? I believe magnolia was not made for content that
any user can update.
What might pose some difficulties is the following:
- The posts would only be available on the public instance as they
are posted there
- How can the author delete unwanted posts, as the are only
available on the public website
- How to best save posts
Right now I tend to have a separate database for the posts. That
database could then be accessed from a custom template from the
author and the public instances. However, this would not be very
elegant as this is kind of not using magnolia and its
functionality. Are there any better ways?
Greetings
Daniel
