@jac this looks cool! - https://ghost.org/integrations/beyondwords/
@jac yes, there’s a load of possible integrations, and several you can do yourself (as I do) with JavaScript

Brilliant, sounds positive! Yes mate a one off payment for the theme. It’s looking to be the best I’ve found so far.
I wonder can something like your RSS parser run with this?

@jac not natively, but ghost also has an API so with some modifications, it’s possible.

.I see Ghost are running Discourse as their forum software… always liked the look of it but so costly to run I believe.

No, actually you can self host Discourse - see below
The problem with this is that it is based on Ruby and requires it’s own “docker” container. Not a simple setup to maintain if you’re a beginner.

Thanks for the link mate.
I do like it but I think it’s best to stick with NodeBB

Without setting out a big list the main thing I would require from Ghost is:
-
A nice theme
-
Good intergration of plugins
-
Ability to import RSS feeds
-
A wierd one, but to have it looking like and functioning like a football site, with widgets, league table etc.

The list of “plugins” isn’t extensive for Ghost - can you elaborate a bit more on what the requirements would be ?

Certainly possible, but may require custom code

Official Ghost + Custom RSS Integration I believe this is only if you wish to create a new RSS feed for your content?

So forum.domain.com will host the forum and the main site a domain.com will hopefully import RSS feeds and articles written by myself and hopefully others ( something which I wanted to do with a general football website) and alongside that will have a fixtures page and league table, tickets information, fan information etc just like the forum pages do currently.

Baby steps at first of course! It’ll be a new system for me, one which is more set up for bloggers but hopefully it’ll work out for me as a football (county) based site.
I just need to find the right domain and have a good think whether this sort of thing is needed.

@jac No issues. Let me know !

Thanks mate.
It’ll take:
-
A new domain
-
Getting to learn a new system (although by the sounds of it it’s relatively easy)
-
A lot of patience
-
Finding a way to import RSS feeds
-
Setting up forum on a sub domain
-
CSS changes
-
Links to the forum at the bottom of posts?
-
And more…
Like I said above, I need to see if all this is necessary. There isn’t any blogs/ news sites so there is scope but do people really want to read content anymore? I fear not.

Basically a site that includes all content in one place.
