Forum Integration

What plugin do you guys use to integrate a forum into your android or ios app?

@Jcommander- check this link out! It's an oldie but a great way to incorporate a forum into your app! It assumes that you have webspace and the the ability to run a web server backend. It would ultimately use a web page plugin in your BT app. http://www.btugwiki.com/index.php/Embedded_forum Let us know if you need anything!! Daniel

Nice Daniel! Someone was asking about this a few weeks back. I thought phpBB might be a good option, but left it at that. Glad to see someone has done the work already!

What if you want to incorporate an existing client forum, will this software allow you to do that?

Not sure if it will...it would all depend on the program used in the original forum. If that forum has a mobile version, then, yes it would. Just throw the link in a web page plugin and your good to go!

Ok! Otherwise, you are saying they will need to switch over to a mobile version for their Forum?
