Anyone have experience using Discourse on a Drupal site?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around integrating Discourse with a Drupal site. Susan_Weintraub_Leib inquires about using Discourse on a Drupal site, and pfaffman clarifies that the two are separate applications, typically running on different servers. He mentions possible integrations, such as using Discourse for comments or authenticating against Drupal.
RebeccaFrazee shares her experience with a similar setup, where she manages a membership-based community built in Drupal. She seeks to integrate a community discussion forum using Discourse, ideally without requiring an additional login. pfaffman suggests that Single Sign-On (SSO) can be configured to achieve this, recommending Discourse be hosted on a subdomain, and offers consulting services for implementation.
Drupal and Discourse are separate applications, so your question doesnât quite make sense. Youâll probably want drupal and Discourse on separate servers (itâs much easier than running them on the same server).
But trying not to be pedantic, Iâm about to start a drupal integration that has Discourse authenticate against drupal. You might also have drupal use Discourse for comments.
How do you want Discourse and drupal that work together?
Hi Jay,
I manage Flexible Learning Environments Exchange - there is a public website flexspace.org, and membership-based community and portal. The portal is built in Drupal, and I need a member community discussion forum. Members login, have a member profile, can add various content throughout the site, and can participate in the discussion forum under the COMMUNITY tab. The âout of the boxâ drupal forum is severely lacking. Wondering the same thing that Susan asking and started this thread. Could Discourse somehow âliveâ inside my Drupal-based portal under the âCOMMUNITYâ tab and provide the community forum experience, but be integrated with the rest of my site, not requiring another login?
Thanks!
It should be possible to configure SSO so that people donât need to log in again. Itâs easiest to put discourse on a sub domain and not in a sufficient.
How to do that is beyond what I can explain here. If you have a budget you can contact me directly through my address in my profile, or post in Marketplace.
