Re: Attaching a forum to my store

You kind of answered your own question. Just install the forum software in a subdirectory of your Zencart domain (/forum, as you suggested) and place a link to the /forum address somewhere on your Zencart site.

If you're asking how to have customers who create accounts on your site be automatically registered on the forum, I don't think there's a working bridge for that anymore.
