Where to put forum in laravel 5

I am trying to create laravel 5.2 project with ipb forum. So i am looking after a best practice. Where i should put forum directory in laravel. Maybe "/resources/forum" or in "/public/forum" directory?

Solution

  • Try to install your IPB forum into /public/forum. Then, you will need to setup your web server, so forum directory work properly.

    For Apache your can add something like this into .htaccess inside a public directory:

    RewriteRule ^forum - [L,NC]

    To make it work, you should put this rule before all other rules.

    Also, I'd recommend you to integrate Laravel auth system with IPB for better user experience. You can use package, similar to has-lv.
