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).

Also, Flarum: https://github.com/flarum
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!
You can also look at the laravel.io source code to see some examples and maybe copy/paste the implementation.
@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
@doughavlin It's custom made.
I just update a Forum package for Laravel 5.1 check it out the demo!
Flarum isn't a Laravel Forum Software is it?
Flarum is based on some Laravel packages.
@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.
I know this is an old post, but thought I would post it anyways :)
I just created a Laravel Forum Package called Chatter that might suit your needs: https://github.com/thedevdojo/chatter
It was a fun package to create and integrates seemlessly with any Laravel 5.3 application. You can checkout the video here as well: https://devdojo.com/episode/create-a-laravel-forum
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions :)
