Amember + Forum = How?

4 replies
Hi Everyone,

I'm fishing for ideas to set up a forum the best possible way
that will easily integrate with Amember as well as keep
access private.

Right now my product is protected by Amember (a wonderful
system).

So the forum will only be available to these customers.

I assume it's best to do the following?

1) Install a forum behind Amember, and set it up as "Product 2".

2) Hide "product 2" form the public sign up form, but allow it to
be seen and accessed by paid customers.

And this one is important:

3) Once they subscribe to the forum, I want their Amember
username & password that was used to sign up for the main
product to be the same username and password for the forum.

And done so automatically.


P.S. I'm willing to pay for help with this if necessary, so long as you
have references, thanks!

      I need to get this right the first time!

    I've used amember's punBB plugin. It works well and punBB is really easy to "skin."
