Robert ,

Sorry, no updates on http://www.xenforo.com.
We might not be able to get to it for atleast the next 4-6 months. Our to-do list is already pretty full for the next few months based on feedback and feature requests from dap users.

Any updates on integrating DAP with Xenforo forum software? http://www.xenforo.com

That’s basically what I’m waiting for before I can make a decision on DAP. I will be hosting a private members only forum and I need DAP to manage the membership access and billing. Am also looking at some other solutions but DAP looks pretty feature rich.

I asked this question about a week or 2 ago, but it didn’t get posted for some reason.

Can we allow access to different forums based on their user level with buddypress yet?

Thanks =)

Hi Robert,

DAP does not currently integrate with Xenforo. We will look into it and maybe integrate it in a future release.

It’s an awesome forum solution (from former Vbulletin’s senior coders).

Hi Veena. I have the software and was wondering:

Is there any way to stop people registering as a user on my phpbb forum (So the only way people can sign up is when they sign up to one of my products and they’re automatically signed up or given access to sign up)?

Thank you.

Actually before you check DAP -> SP login, make sure the sync between dap -> WP is working right.

Did you set the ‘sync paid users only’ to “Y” in dap setup -> config area ? If yes, then dap will only sync ‘Paid’ users to WP.

If you have users opting in via a free sign-up form, the user will be marked as free user in dap but because of the ‘only sync paid users’ config setting, dap will not sync free user to WP and the auto-login between DAP / WP / Forum will not work.

If you have set the dap setup -> config -> ‘sync only if username exists’ to “Y”, then the users that are created in dap will not be automatically sync’d to WP. They will have to pick a username in their dap profile to be sync’d.

To test:
1) Add a user manually to DAP via dap admin panel
2) click on the user’s name in the DAP admin -> Manage User’s page, and pick a username and hit update/save.
3) Also note down the user’s dap login id/password
3) Open a new browser where you are not logged in to DAP as admin
4) Now login to DAP again but this time as the user you created in step 1.
5) Now visit any part of the blog
6) The user should have gotten sync’d to WP
7) Now login to WP admin -> users -> and see if the new user was created in WP

I have sync turned on, but Simple:Press isn’t recognizing the user as logged in.

I’ve tried erasing the user and reupping with the sync turned on in advance. That didn’t work.

Any ideas for trouble shooting?

Holly, awesome, it’s always worth updating just in case someone else finds the info useful By the way, this is still working reasonably well for me. I have to say I had problems with DAP login seemingly not always syncing with WP-SPF login, but that could have been a caching problem. I should add a suggestion – that you set SPF not to log users out at all if possible (I can’t seem to find that option right now, SPF admin panel is confusing). Nobody ever logs out of forums anyway so it will save any trouble with login syncing issues. Good luck!
