    Default Forum intergation to indexu 5.4

    Is there a thread out there that could point me in the right direction??

    Is there a mod "freely" avalible to integrate a forum to indexu like SMF.

    I see dody attempted one some time ago, has this evolved? I like the idea where indexu users are integrated into the forum software and vicer versa.

    This would be another great feature for indexu, or is this one going to included in the next indexu release?

    Thnks

    No forum integration at this time. However you can use a program called amember for authentication and it will integrate your indexu and forum login databases.

    amember is probably your best choice because it can integrate so many other programs as well such as wordpress, vbulletin, coppermine, photopost, joomla, idevdirect, oscommerce and a heck of a lot more. Plus you can use it to sell memberships.

    yep I looked at amember and its not free! $179.95

    Plus I would probably have to go to collage to learn php correctly.

    I think Joomla integration with indexu would help increase indexu's popularity hugely, if there was a mod for joomla to fuse the two together.

    No amember is not free, no php coding required.

    Joomla + indexu = amember

    Seriously, a member alleviates a LOT of issues. I'd rather try to make a deal with them for IndexU users than to try and code integration for every cms, blog and board that people are interested in.

    Antony, I am currently using amember (grabbed a copy today) and I am talking to their support folks about an issue. Once that issue is worked out I'll probably post a "how to".

    Their IndexU integration is old skool for some reason. It has database data from version 3.1.

    I'm trying to talk to them about it, but still awaiting an answer. IF I had the full version perhaps I could fix it, but their free version is encoded so there's nothing I can do about it for the moment.

    top man!

    does the forum integrate with the users in indexu?

    did you use amember to achieve this?

    You just make MiniBB use the indexU users table, then i changed the miniBB cookie function so it uses the indexU cookie to see if a user is logged IN. After that i disabled the login and sign out functions in miniBB and instead use the indexU ones.

    30 hours later, no reply from amember

    Interesting no?

    Perhaps I should just talk John and Dody into making a script similar to amember that works

    I'll keep you posted, I replied to my own ticket. Perhaps that will wake them up.

    its bad when its 216h in my books

    if you developed your own script it would have to easily integrate with indexu and natively be part of the next release.
