Hi, I am looking for someone who can help me implement phpBB and amember. I have evething thig installed but I can not figure out how do set up permitions and have some of the forums show etc. this is URGENT as I am bout to launch. Thanks Sebatian
Create a "group" within phpBB (or use one of the existing) and set the "group forum permissions" to control what forums can be accessed by that group and at what level. Then for each "product" in aMember, set the phpBB group that the member/subscriber is to be assigned to. That's all there is to it. In a nutshell...... all permissions/access rights to forums are controlled by phpBB's group permissions and aMember simply assigns members to a particular phpBB group.
I should point out that you can go further with phpBB and set permissions on an individual user level. But that is best left alone, because it would always have to be manually controlled, as aMember only has to power to assign a subscriber to a phpBB group. So create as many phpBB groups that you need to cover the different levels of access that you offer.
