forum server integration

HI there all

i have some areas of the forum that i only want paid members to go to and other areas that i am ok with everyone going to , but i cant find on s2member how to do this with Forum Server i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction

Hi Adam,

WP Forum Server is not a supported forum plugin for s2Member. We recommend and provide support for integrating with bbPress.

Adam, if you really must use WP Forum Server, as long as the forum is served by WordPress, you can try using the URI restrictions.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions[/hilite]

But like Raam said, bbPress is better supported by s2Member.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress®[/hilite]

guys thanks for the feedback, i trie to setup my forum up with bbpress and it looked crap and i couldnt work out how to chnge it at all, you cant suggest another plug in that is supported bu s2 that i could use, i have tried buddypress but that wants to take over the site and this is only a small part of it

thanks in advance

You could try SimplePress. http://simple-press.com/

As long as the forum is a WordPress plugin so it’s served by WordPress, then you should be able to use the s2Member URI restriction on it.
[hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions[/hilite]

mate thanks for that could you please give em a example how i could use Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions to do this the rules i need is that to post in in the say Lost area they need to pay, but they can see if if they havent just not post and they can view the rest fo the site without paying

You’d have to find a string unique to the URLs that you want to prevent the user from using, and put that in the URI restriction. If you want to prevent them from posting, see what the posting URL has that’s uniqute to it, e.g. [hilite mono]action=post[/hilite].

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions

i am working with wp forum server what might i be looking at to get this started, i am also havuing issues trying to get my members area and members sign up wroking

ok i thuink i got the redirect working but how do i set up my member options page it is just blank

Adam, I’ll move this thread to the community forum cause it doesn’t really go in the pre-sale Qs one.

I suggest that you watch the videos to learn the basics on s2Member. :)

The Membership Options Page will be whichever you create in WordPress and set as such. It’ll have what you put in it, so if it’s empty just edit it and add content to it.

I hope it helps. :)
