Forum software for elgg?

Question

We have an elgg site, and need to have forum functionality. The forum should be community wide and not focused on groups, as the standard installation comes along. We need single-sign-on for the site.

My research so far:

• There's a phpBB3 plugin, I'd love to see phpBB3, but that breaks the reqs: no single-sign-on available yet.
• vanilla forum plugin
• vazco_forum plugin

Any suggestions? Vazco seems to be working, but is quite basic in functionality. Haven't had a look at vanilla so far. Other possibilities?

Thanks

Answer 1

I wrote a module that changes the links and titles for the groups forum making it seem like it's a community wide forum instead of groups based. This approach might work for you.
