MyBB Community Forums

Hi does anyone know of an easy to use, open source, php based, documentation system. Preferred one that can be connected to MyBB and themed as MyBB.
After a long time test, I found that MyBB (as good as it is a forum system) is very difficult to "change" it to a documentation systems. The way MyBB treats text is limited (even when adding all the MyCode / BBcode plugins that deal with text) and is problematic with pictures.
don't get me wrong - I love MyBB as a forum systems and I will get it working on my site. Just not as a system for documents.


thanks,

You will actually need a plugin coder who can do it. It is possible to use MyBB as a documentation thing.

MyBB is a forum system, it was never "designed" to be a system to hold documents. Your best option is to choose a Wiki (DokuWiki, MediaWiki) if you're wanting something like that.

There are bridges for both these systems to share a MyBB user database so users can login to both with the same credentials (just like here at http://wiki.mybboard.net/). The templates however will need some big modifications to get it to work.

I think MediaWiki is great, here's a plugin for it: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-150...#pid272186

Thanks Tom & Matt,
I did think of both of this systems at the beginning of the project. The problem with both is that, one: at there base they both are Wiki system - that means that the system want everybody to share and/or change the content (I know they have a user based permissions - but...), two: non of them has a (good, if any) translation into Hebrew - almost all my users do not read English as there first language (and as so, why should I make it difficult for them).
