Small private forum for a website

[Mary Abigail]

Hello everyone

can anyone tell me if that's possible to implement a small private forum for registered users from a website?
the idea is for registered users to communicate with each other and also sell stuff, etc...
I want it to have admins and moderation as well. I have thought of phpBB or similar, but if WWB can do it, i would prefer that way.

thanks in advance!

phpbb is advanced enough for a forum some prefer modern lightweight forum like flarum. But wwb itself cannot create a forum because that is a whole server sided coding thing with database connection for registering users creating threads, administration and others. phpbb has a lot of themes also can be customized and has a lot of extensions. https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extensions-36

For a forum it takes a hefty amount of storage and well optimized server and bandwidth depending on a group of people and their posting texting, media and others. I would say phpbb would be a better choice for administration and featureful.

Mary,

Assuming your hosting service allows it, you can embed a forum inside your web page to make it look more 'integrated'.

PHP Jabbers has a simple Forum Script. There scripts embed nicely in Wizzy pages. All their scripts have moved to free open source. I don't have personal experience with this script but use several others in customer sites.

Hi all

@alan_sh i'm on a reseller account (WHM/cPanel), i do have Softaculous access, maybe that's what you are recommending me!?

@onlye

Yes you can change the language of their scripts within the script once installed.
