Forum integration

One more questions for you guys,

Our site is also supposed to implement community support via a forum. Once a user is logged in to the site, they should have access to the forum and should NOT be required login twice.

So the question is: is there an integrated forum feature within the s2Member plugin, or does it support an integration to other plugins that implement the forum functionality? If so, how do you transfer the user context (profile) to the forum component?

Thanks for your help,

Moty

Hello Moty,

I believe you can achieve this, the same way s2member.com has done it for these forums. It is using a heavily modified version of bbPress if I’m not mistaken.

Hope this helps. :)

In fact, you should check your own support videos. There is one video that sheds some light about this very question of how to establish single-sign-on between s2Members and bbPress. For the benefits of others I post the URL here:

I hope that your answers to my other questions are going to be a bit more researched and informative.

Thanks in advance,

Moty

Oh that’s new, thanks for the video Moty. Haven’t checked the videos section for more than a year now. :P

Or I simply missed it, because it seems like an old video.

Right, there’s a bbPress integration possible. You found the video already, the documentation is here: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress®[/hilite]

What do you mean by transfering the user’s WordPress profile to bbPress? The profile is not shown by bbPress as it happens with BuddyPress.
