SMF with modx from newbie to newbie

Guys,

What is best tool to use for forum in Modx?

I am not getting any good tool.

Excellent guide! I would like to add these: Even after you synchronize users, old users cannot see the discussion boards on your forum OR post new topics.New users being added CAN see the discussion boards on your forum and post new topics though.

I am building my test site on a localserver (XAMPP) and that is how i fixed it:

1) go to localhost/phpmyadmin/ on your computer.
2)locate and select the smf database.
3)locate the smf_members table and select it (i am assuming that you didn't change the preffix during the smf installation, so all tables start with the preffix smf_ ).
4)Select your old members and click edit (I know little about sql because i am a newbie,so i did the whole thing manually).
5)locate the ID_GROUP field and change its value to zero.

I am sure somebody could issue a query to the database that would select the ID_GROUP field for old members from the smf_members table and set its value to zero.I didn't find any problems with my site but since i am new to all this i would strongly suggest that you BACK UP your entire database before trying anything.
That's all folks

Step 4: Modifying forum index.php file Replace the file "/forum/index.php" by the one joined in this post...

WHERE is it file?!

It would appear that it was lost/removed since it was posted ~5 years ago. You might reach out directly to the author via PM if you need it. Good luck!
