iOS How to create a forum in iPhone app

[poolaata]

I 'm looking for some sample to create a forum inside my iPhone app. Can some one give me an idea on how to go about it? If there are any samples available online, that would be helpful.

Basically from my app I would like to a forum where users can collaborate.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

That is iPhone only?

That is iPhone only?

YES. This app is for iPhone only. This is not a safari browser based.... I am looking for a forum within my app.

Its gonna involve a SQL database, and some back end server scripting.

Thanks.
I didnt clearly get the 'server side scripting' IT would be great if you elaborate.

I 'm thinking of another idea. Can I hit a web services wrapper around a MySQL database?

I'm not a 100% sure on the server scripting because I dont know what your gonna be doing etc. I can guess though, Ruby on rails is always a good choice.

I'm not sure on the last question as I'm a poor developer. I'm just learning Obj-c

Pointers to any sample will be appreciated

I don't know of any samples for a forum app, but I would guess that your app should "ask" a server for a list of posts, the actual post, as well as posting a post to the server.

The server would do most of the heavy lifting as the iPhone will only display what the server has. Or your app could cache the forum for offline access.
