Three of the most important community building tools for any website are calendars, forums, and newsletters. With any of the applications, you can create a system in which users regularly return for new dynamic content, and these tools can become self-perpetuating when users themselves help to generate more new content.

PostNuke does not currently include a calendar, forum, or newsletter module with its core package, but a number of third-party modules are available for PostNuke that work quite well.

This chapter examines the following five third-party community modules you can use with your PostNuke website:

• PostCalendar

• pnConcert/pnEvent

• PNphpBB2

• XForum

• pnTresMailer
