Zencart Forum Module

Do anybody know if there is a way to add a forum to my shopping cart?

phpbb 2.x can be integrated

Thanks Kobra, but what exactly is phpbb 2.x and how do I intergrate it into my site?

[kobra]

phpbb2 is a forum script and is a bit older but can be "integrated" via a bridge with your Zen Cart customers

For what little this provides you may choose any other forum script and just provide links between the two and this allows one to use a DIFFERENT user name on the forum from that for your shop

You can google for open source forums and/or commercial forums like VBulletin that this forums is based on - Your choice as the commercial ones can offer more configuration/control and if you think that the forum will be more to manage than your store it might be advantageous

Thanks a lot

Hello everyone,

I've recently installed zen cart for my small/meduim business, and am researching on merchant accounts to support my payment processing. I would like my customers to use all major credit cards as well as their paypal accounts.

For the seasoned user of zen, are their any recommendations? I am looking at Protx as well as secure trading as my gateway payment, which should I choose?...this is my first on line store and am doing the process of customizing the templates, etc myself, so any merchants that requires easy integration to zen would be great.

Also, in order to use any merchants, do I still have to purchase ssl certificate?

Thank you,
Vong
