    Is there a way to bridge a forum in to modx? I have read about the smf bridge but it’s not working and I can’t find proper instructions for the mybb bolt on. Has anyone successfully integrated a forum in to their site?

      This is one of the first things I did when I installed mod-x, when I started adding content I decided not to go with a forum, but everything worked fine.

      I used the SMF Connector with modx .95 release - had no issues.

      well decide what forum you want to use and tell us what errors you had with it.

      Good Luck!

        I usually use PHPbb forums... i really don’t know what the best option is but i do like smf seeing it on this site.

        I tried using the smf bridge from the resource area but i’m getting the following errors.


        « MODx Parse Error »
        MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
        « PHP Parse Error »
         
        PHP error debug
          Error: 	require_once(inc/init.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory	 
          Error type/ Nr.: 	Warning - 2

          Line: 	16


        I’m using xampp locally...

          Ok i tried on my hosted account and i managed to get it working somewhat........ I can see it in the content window but when i click on a forum link it loads the forum page outwith the modx area as if the forum is on it’s own. I have followed the instructions and i can’t get it to work. Also the smf module won’t connect either. tongue
