Hey guys,
I have worked with vBulletin for quite some time and have just started a real estate business and I feel this CMS will work best for me. I am having a few problems unfortunetly...

[strike]First, how do I add tabs to the top? All I see is "Home" and cannot figure out how to add more. I'm sure it's very simple but I am getting frustrated looking for it.[/strike]
I figured this out finally.

Also, how would I add a custom page? Photo Gallery with small thumbnails underneath it?
I would also like a forum like you have here.


Any help is appreciated.

You can either write your own as a template, then when creating a page through getsimple, use that template...

OR

Use this plugin:

The biggest thing I need is a forum that integrates.

It would be great wouldn't it?

But I have never seen a forum which doesn't need mysql so I don't think you will get it in GS.

I think the closest thing you might find is a message board like this one, php and no database,

Don't know how you would integrate it into GS but I don't imagine it is beyond the wit of man. Maybe someone clever could tell us.

Would it not be easier to just install one of the BBS in a sub domain and then just place a link to the forum on the main site?

Just Saying.

Yes, of course, totally.

It's just that this is a CMS and the whole point is that it's integrated, automatically in the nav menu, same look, single login, same back end, no ftp to do, etc etc.

look for this : http://outer-court.com/tech/forum.htm
This is a forum based on the php / xml, there is probably the possibility of using xml files users for both GS and the forum.

The need of integrating a BBS with CMS appears, when you post a content for registered users.
With GS there's nothing to hide from guest visitors, as this CMS isn't dedicated for mid/enterprise webservices.

And if you want to offer a login box on website driven by GS, most of modern BBS scripts offer a login widget, which you can post on your website. There are also BBS APIs, and developing a bridge tends to be very painful.
