We are very happy to announce you the release of the eForum component for Elxis CMS. eForum is a full featured forum component that allows you to keep a forum system in your Elxis powered site. No more bridges, external forum applications and hacks. eForum is an native elxis component, fully integrated into the CMS. Elxis users are your forum members. The component development took a long time to complete as we were working at the same time on other projects but we believe it worths the waiting. We also implemented some very cool features on eForum that you wont find easily on other forum applications like PDF export, an iphone/ipod compatible version and chatters. Together with eForum we also released some extensions for it and others will follow soon. eForum developed by Ioannis Sannos and released for free under the Creative Common Share Alike 3.0 licence. Special thanks to Spiros Panagiotakopoulos, Stavros Stratakis and Nikos Vlachtsis for their help on documentation and eForum specific extensions development. For help and more information visit eForum on Elxis wiki.
