I am looking for a good portal with a Forum and a Classified Ads sections.

Can phpBB be integrated with Joomla or Mambo?

Is there a Classified Ads module that I can use with Joomla or Mambo?

Do you know any other portal that integrates a forum and provides a classified Ads section?

We are going to be using drupal here as a portal for our forum. There is a full integration add-on for vBulletin. On a google search it looks like there might be some options available for classifieds in drupal. It also looks like you can integrate soemthing called Photopost Classifieds with vBulletin.

It also looks like you can integrate Mambo with photoPost and phpBB. Although mambo is dead so you'd want Joomla.

hth,

well im not so sure that mambo is dead, i am using mambo and now they just release the version 4.5.4 and soon it will come 4.6, since 4.6 is a beta version now. so try mambo because is good and you will be happy.

Okay, I'm not sure about that then. I read something about all the mambo developers leaving and starting Joomla and the project was stalled for awhile.

yeah, mambo on its last stable reiteration from the original developers was sold to some company, and is still offered as open-source. The Team that developed Mambo, is now still developing it under a different name Joomla... This is to prevent copyrighting etc... So in a way Megan is right, but the development of plugins are still underway which can work both for Mambo and Joomla...

Pareng Demonhale, hnd totoo ang tsismis, let me tell you, solid ang team ng mambo ngaun, just research well and you'll see. d2 lng ako sa Aklan malapit sayo, and Mambo is well alive here in the Phil. pati ung CICT natin runs mambo and majority of gov't sites. Mambo on! :mambo:
