User registration & login
Quote from ruewa on May 7, 2017, 3:40 pmFor several reasons (mostly Noobs using a hidden internal forum on a password protected page, encapsulation) I don’t want to use the WP Login for my forum users (just had some problems to get in here 😉 ). But I also don’t want to build on free guest access because of post editing ability and author assignment. So I need a simple, forum specific registration / login mechanism. Is this in queue or is there a plugin way working with Asgaros forum?

Any plugin that modifies the login and registration page.
And use this code
function myLoginMessage() { return 'link to the page'; } add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_login_message', 'myLoginMessage');

This is a plugin for Wordpress, so I will also use the existing user management system. Why developing something again which already exists and works fine?

Quote from ruewa on May 11, 2017, 3:54 pmThanks for your answers! I solved it now by hiding the forum page with the plugins WP-Members and WP Hide Post and by blocking Dashboard and admin bar with Admin Bar & Dashboard Control for subscribers. Now all my login / logoff / register / forgot password actions are (for members solely) accessible by a sidebar widget on the forum pages.
There are also plugins building a separate member database, but i did not test them. You’re right, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Digging deeper I realized the problem is not, where the database is internally located. My primary goal was not to chase my (elderly) group members into confusion with all the dashboard and admin bar stuff. So it’s okay now.

i have the asgaros forum plugin and ultimate member plugin.
When a member replys within a topic in bbpress forum, then i can see it in his ultimate member profile. When he replys within a topic in asgaros forum, then it is not shown in the profile. Is there a way to link um and asgaros so that i can see in the um profile what members have postet in asgaeos forum ?

Quote from Bets on November 11, 2017, 4:07 pmAlthough this is a plugin for WordPress…there is still a need to capture a guest username and email. We do not use logins for club memberships. Membership changes too rapidly and it takes too much time for volunteers (assuming we find someone with technical ability) to stay on top of membership. So in our past forum we would allow a post if they first submitted a name and email and checked the capcha. The new topic would then contain the user name of the guest.
Is there something here you can help me with. Although I am technical, it has been MANY years since I have programmed anything.

Quote from Asgaros on November 11, 2017, 6:02 pmThere is no quick way to implement it. You have to:
- extend the database to store the usernames for guest
- check that a guest-name/mail is not already used by an existing user
Basically this would result in a fork of the forum-plugin in its current state. There are just too many areas which you have to modify for this. I am not able at the moment to provide you quickly five lines of code to implement this.
