Creating a network site with forum

Hi,

I'm currently working on a network site where I will have a forum avaiable ONLY for paid members.

So how should I set up this forum if I only want it avaiable and visible for paid members and what should I do to let new members be redirected to a "sign up" form for the forum that wouldn't be avaiable for others who hasn't paid?

Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Jimmy

    If you dont already have a forum software, one of simplest ways could be to install WordPress and use bbPress for your forums.

    Then simply use a plugin like S2member (or any other free member plugin) to lock your forums to non paid members. A lot of these free member plugins have inbuilt e-commerce functionality (atleast PayPal standard. For other gateways, you may have to go for a paid plugin).

    Thank you Janzesiaro.

    I've been thinking of using WordPress as a platform for my forum. I think that will easier than integrating a forum script into a regular website.

    I will use ClickBank as a retailer by the way.
