I am starting a site that will be basically a forum but I need a cms for articles and the like. Can anyone recommend a cms that integrates phpbb3? Is a portal better than a cms or should I go the full cms route?
I don't believe there is a CMS system that is ready to be integrated with phpBB3 but I recall that there was a modification under development, which should be available very soon. I think it is already released, as a release candidate, you may find this modification at the official phpBB forums. In addition, I believe Joomla is a good CMS that could easily be integrated with phpBB3; but I would strongly advise to check out that modification I told you about above, it seems it integrated Wordpress with phpBB3, Wordpress is a great CMS!

There are a few under development, wordpress united looks promising (it's in RC now) http://www.wp-united.com/
www.lotus.ath.cx The lotus core CMS is make only for phpbb3 integration. It's already released and version 1.0.0 Final. Installation is fast and easy. Not to mention that it doesn't modify any phpbb3 files.
