PhPmotion.com; phpBB etc. - can we take advantage of those for PrestaShop?

Hi Guys,

I have been discovering many free stuff that i think may be incorporated to prestashop, of course with due modifications, like phpbb.com and phpmotion.com.

Just wondering if anybody has tried?

Cheers

PS: I am a newcomer, so i keep exploring about Prestashop.

Heya, Paul C is creating a module to allow extra content through combining wordpress with prestashop?? As far as phpbb go if you really wanted to have a forum linked to a website then maybe ubercart with drupal might be better?? I am not too sure how many people would want to use a forum within a shop enviroment?? I haven't tried blending any together sorry maybe someone else,or you could always ask in the module forum there are people always creating modules .

The only time one would want a forum incorperated in a shop is when you sell games, electronic devices etc. where users could ask questions about the use etc. of their product.

I would guess this would be less then 2% of regular shopowners.

Hi NG,

Yes, I am also a bit confused on how I can implement phpBB in prestashop.

My intention is, since product 'Review' by customers are not available in prestashop, I thought it may be a good idea to link phpbb somehow so that customers and shop-people can interact.

hmm one idea that comes to mind is a forum linked to the shop, each product is automaticly a thread so on product details page the customers can comment and talk about the product.. that is web 2.0 feeling but you have almost that with review function that will be availible soon?
Anyhow, I think there may not be many shopowners wanting this kind of function but it sure is a nice function to be able to choose.. maybe someday someone will make something like that

Hello Ruilong,

Thanks for the reply.

it is very similar to REVIEW button (NOT sure when it is going to be up in PrestaShop). IN fact I am waiting for the Review thing as well.

If we go beyond Review:

In review, normally you can insert only 'text', however, probably if we go for phpbb, zoomla, wordpress etc. one maybe able to insert images/videos/audios etc. Of course this is slightly offsided as far as the shop is concerned, but it can make a good user interaction.


Cheers.
