Topic: Using PunBB to display news in homepage?

Hello

I'd actually like to use PunBB just like it's done here at punbb.informer.com, ie. the home page should contain articles to which users can post comments, and comments should live in a thread in the forum.

That way, no need to integrate some blogging software with PunBB  smile

Is PunBB used to do this, or did the webmasters combine a blog application with PunBB for the forum?

If the former, is there some documentation on how to configure PunBB that way?

Thank you.

They custom made it (nothing you can activate big_smile ).
The closest you can come to it is by using the Daris Portal (unless they publish the code for the "home" page of punbb....)

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Daris Portal.

So it looks like "portal" was the magic word I should look for to use a forum to also publish webmaster-originating articles on the homepage.
