Wouldn't it be great is website X5 had the possibility to create a forum? as an onject or as an advanced part like "blog" ? many people want a forum and always have to go to these "free forum offers", nut the problem is that the forum isn't on your own domain.
If people could create a forum within the Website X5 software, it would be published on their own domain.
If I look on the internet, I see a huge ammount of people looking how to implement a forum on their own domain, but not willing to write any line of code.
Website X5 would be a great solution for that problem, and also a great change to reach even a bigger public.

I downloaded the phpbb thing... I extracted it into a subfolder (forum) on my domain.
Then you say to link it .. but link it where ?
I don't know anything about php, html things.. that's why I chooose for website x5...
or what do you mean with "install" it a folder on your domain or subdomain ? I extracted it, is it the same thing ?

I downloaded the phpbb zip file from sourcenet as you recommanded in another post above.
I created a folder on my domain. I named the folder "forum"
I extracted the zip file into that folder.
but then I'm stucked.
I don't know how or where to link it.
The phpbb thing is a forum/bullitinboard software. It needs to be moderated (just like x5) and designed and maintaned.
It is a package on it's own, just like x5 for websites is phpbb for a forum. You can set it with logins, hide content for all non members, or not and a lot more settings / options are available.
But it's a completetly different and on itself standing program, for support check out internet or the phpbb help.
You can create a link in a website bij adding a new level, then goto properties of that level and link it to the website adress of the phpbb software. (your domain name with /forum behind it)
Check also the help file that should be within the phpbb file you downloaded for help on how to install and maintain.
But keep in mind this is extensive and although strictly no knowladge of php programming is neccesary it is higly advisible to have some or start learning it.
