    @sottwell: thanx for your response, Vanilla looks very good, however the organisation that i will build the site for hasn't got 600 $/year for a forum. As far as i can see this is the lightest price plan... :-(

    Conclusion: I am looking for a free forum-software to integrate in Revo.

      @sottwell I remember trying to integrate with MODx and it was hell... the proxyConnect SSO plugin didn't work- however you have linked to a different SSO plugin.

      I also remember you writing a tutorial - can that still be used as a base?

      Definitely hanging out for Discuss.... [ed. note: ficklelife last edited this post 12 years, 2 months ago.]
      • No, the tutorial I wrote was for the old method, which was fiddly to get working. Which is probably why they came up with the new method.

          @sotwell: sorry for my ignorance about Vanilla, at my last post I had only a quick glance about the forums. There I didn't see the "free" option, but after reading on i realised this is probably my best option for now. However, in your article you use the ProxyConnect plugin. They now advise to use jsConnect; which needs a JSON-output to work.
          Do you (or anybody else) have any experience with that?

          @modx: Can you give an estimate on the release/public beta for Discuss? It would be a shame to invest time in integrate vanilla while the next day discuss would be released....

          Will start fiddling with Modx, Vanilla & jsConnect for now....

              Nope. As far as i can tell, because of the overwhelming response ;-), its not on the Modx priority list.

                @mintnl: Btw, have you had any success with Vanilla?
                I could use a hint how to make a snippet for their js-connect plugin ))

                  Not yet, have been putting the forum bit off until the end of the development of the site. But when i've done it i will try to put some instructions here.

                    I would really like to include discuss in my site. I usually use SMF forum without any particular integration (since I usually don't need users to "login" on the main site), but I would really like to integrate a simple "forum" like this one in my normal site template using the powerful modx templating method.

                    Hope this project never stops!

                      I have to decide which CMS I will take for a project. One of the most important points is a working board. So unfortunately I'll probably use something other than MODx ... sad ..
