I was referred by a member on the Warriors forum. Here is what I posted on there in terms of what I'm looking for. Does aMember offer this?? Thank you. ================ Suggetions? Private forum. Members Only access. I need to setup a private forum. With all these scripts floating around for membership sites, I expect that my needs should be pretty easily solved by spending a couple of hundred dollars. Yet I've gotten replies from what I suspect are over zealous programmers/designers who quotes the project as much larger and more involved than it should be. The idea is simple... I need an area (website/folder) online where I can host files and webpages viewable only by my customers. I would also like a private forum where even if the link of the thread/discussion is shared (ie: posted in a blog or elsewhere online), anyone clicking through from one of those links would be directed to a Login Required type page... and of course, to login they would have to have a password/username provided at the time of purchase (ie: they only get full access if they are a customer). Does Butterfly Marketing accomplish this? I never took the time to look into it. Does anyone have a private members page? What scripts are you using? I know that Ken Evoy (of SiteBuildIt.com) has pretty much exactly what I need. His forum is powered by phpBB (like I said, my request seems like it should have a simple solution)... anyone visiting pages of his exclusive forum has to login first. But I have no real idea of how he created it.
Of course, aMember + a forum integration plugin will do the job for you. Installation and inital configuration is included into price, and it will be only $179.95
