Incorporating Flarum inside of a Laravel Application.

JonahMarsden

HI! I've got a fully fledged Laravel website already built, and wanted to add Flarum as our forum. Whats the best practices to add Flarum into a Laravel website. Would one simply put the Flarum install into Laravel's public folder and rewrite?

I've already sorted logging in etc just need to figure out the best practices for installing it.

You would need to install flarum as a separate installation all together and then use something like Passport Authentication (Extension exist for this) to authenticate with your main site. The only fully supported installation of flarum that I've seen so far is as a subdomain or as the primary domain, "folder" installs do not seem to be supported by either the official development team or even the community in general. I'm sure someone has done it before but it's very rare to see.
