As the manager of a retail store, i've been tasked with building an online store for our business. I'm probably going to use OS Commerce for it, but i'd also like the website to have some sort of forums. The type of items we will be selling will likely generate a good deal of conversation. (hope so, anyway)

 

Is there any type of forum software (phpbb etc etc) that i could directly link to OS Commerce? I'd like my customers to be able to sign up for one get registered seamlessly to both, and be able to go back and forth between both softwares seamlessly without worrying about the cookie from one expiring, etc, and all that jazz.

 

I've used PHPBB in the past, and love the software, but i'm willing to go with another recomendation if another software would be easier to integrate.

searching forum found nothing

 

searchin board found nothing

 

eventually thought to search "phpbb" and i did find one. After reading through it all, the lesson i learned was that it's probably better to just keep them separate :)

 

Thanks!
