Hello all. I would like to host a SMF forum on my VSD S-Drive cacount. I know that some of you have done this. How do I go about integrating the forum into the site?

Thanks,

Bob

Hey Robert, I am not sure I'm following you. Can you please tell me what a SMF form is. What is the Software's full name. Do you know that Coffeecups Web Form is great and works perfectly with VSD and S-Drive. You can find more information about it here http://www.coffeecup.com/web-form-builder/

Hi Steve. SMF is a Simple Machines Forum. I know that Eric has one - maybe he'll chime in.

Robert, since SMF uses PHP, you won't be able to host it on SDrive (no non-CC PHP is allowed at this time).
What you can do is host it elsewhere and link to it from your VSD site. I don't know if using an Iframe to display it on your site is an option.
Of course, you could use a host that offers PHP and keep everything together, but keeping the main site on SDrive offers the security of knowing that any PHP hacks will be confined to the forum and won't touch your site.

My SMF forums are on non S-Drive hosts.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
