Laravel Forum software

I'm looking for some options for a Laravel forum package, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

I don't mind commercial if it gets me to the finished product quicker.

Many Thanks, Kevinjohn

Edit:

  • PHP preferred.
  • Laravel 5 based strongly preferred (it will be a member site hopefully with other features eventually built on L5).
  • Able to support IE9 (i know, i know, but the real world is not the geek world ;-] )

That does look really nice @kayyyy thank you.

Initially my requirements are a little more specific (sorry will edit above now).

  • PHP preferred.
  • Laravel 5 based strongly preferred (it will be a member site hopefully with other features eventually built on L5).

All the above Packages are for Laravel 5 except discourse which is a standalone Open Source Forum Software. Because IE9: If you are using a Laravel Package you have to build the Frontend by yourself. So its up to you to fix Problems with IE9. Packages are not coming with a UI Frontend.

@kayyyy Apologies I posted "PHP Preferred" when you had replied with Discourse. Your edit with the other links came after :)

@martinbean wow, Flarum looks like a great shout. Never heard of it before, thank you. Fingers crossed for a stable beta in a few weeks!

@RomainLanz This is an excellent resource! Thank you! Not only as a reference for good code, but for inspiration on UI and how to do it well.

Is the forum here on laracasts.com custom or is it based on one of the open source projects?

flarum released its first beta and announced a second beta for this week

Flarum isn't a Laravel Forum Software is it?

@doughavlin It's custom made. Jeff has multiple times spoken about open source-ing it when he gets some time, he says.

I haven't gone too in depth in studying up on flaurm but:

  • it's the latest iteration of esoTalk
  • Franz from FluxBB was brought on board
  • Franz brought with him lots of work that this current branch of flaurm is based off of

The original go to forum for Laravel was FluxBB but laravel.io went with their own roll.
