Forum/Website Questions

[Orion]

Well, I have a few questions regarding forums and websites.

First question:
I have integrated Kunena into my Islamic website: http://www.OurIslamic.com
The URL for the forum is quite lengthy, is it possible to change it to "forum.ourislamic.com"? If it is, how would I do it? Will it still be integrated with joomla?

Second question:
Is it possible to integrate vBulletin with Joomla or Wordpress? (I'm thinking about it for my site: http://www.DMQM.com). Is it even effective?

Hmmmm gimmi one day in order to retrieve more info dude, but i'm almost sure it's possible to integrate vB and Joomla. About the forum's subdomain i never saw "Kunena" before so i must to test it, btw why "Kunena" ?.

All right, thanks :)

Kunena is one of the best free forums for integration with Joomla. One of my friends on TriPHP suggested that I look into it, and I did. You can get more info regarding it on Kunena.com

You can intergrate wordpress and Joomla in to vbulletin but i wouldnt recommend it , merging the databases to have the same user base is just a nightmare, really you just need to design the forum the same as the main site and make people sign up to the main site separately if they want to use it

as for wordpress + a forum engine... do you need a high-function forum or not? because there is an easy solution for wordpress. you just install a plugin and get your forum working in several seconds...

It's really nice, take a look at:

Well, I was hoping for a "high-function" and sophisticated forum that I can provide to my members. Also, I liked the idea that members can post on the blog and forum under the same account. The one account with access to the whole site is the reason why I integrated Kunena into my website. For a religious website, I don't need as many features, just enough to get people to talk to eachother and share opinions. However, for the site I'm looking to make now, which is a website devoted to talking and reviewing things, I need a powerful forum.

Anyways, I really hope that you can find the possible solution for your issue :)

I found a semi-solution. I'm currently using a free forum script called "Kunena" which can be integrated into Joomla. I'm eventually going to switch to vBulletin though. I wish it could be integrated, but I think I'll try my luck with the publishing suite after I get some testimonials. Hopefully someone reliable from this forum.
