Topic: Using punbb for comments

Hi,

(I hope I'm posting in the right place)

Is there a pluggin or mod that would allow me to use PunBB for comments on articles? By this I mean I would be able to:

- Add an include to a (random) php page, which then
- Sets up a topic within a specified forum for this page
- Shows the posts and a reply box
- Works from PunBB's user data.

Has this been done before, or do people generally use blogging software and integrate the logins?

Cheers,

-Alastair

Hi Alastair,

Yes, it's mostly a hook into a front end blog or CMS.

A developer or user sees a need and scratches the itch.

Thanks, for the reply, I was kinda wondering if someone had scratched the itch, and packaged it up as a nice pluggin wink

If you're fine with posting the articles in PunBB, you can use the news generator plugin. It's what I use here at punbb.org.
