SMF Forum oscommerce integration
This contribution integrates the popular Simple Machines forum (SMF) into your oscommerce store. This gives a much more streamlined look to your store, making the forum page look like any other page of your store.
You must first install the opensource disussion board (available at www.simplemachines.org/download.php if your server doesn't come with it already) and then upload the attached contribution files.
As the forum is installed into a different directory and yet is accessed from forums.php in the root directory, the installation does not mess up your oscommerce installation.
The package also includes a javascript workaround for the error caused if a customer accesses the forum directly without an oscommerce cookie (regardless, refreshing the page gets rid of the error)

The following has been added to forums.php, replacing the javascript redirect.
The benefit is that there is a smooth transition in the redirect, such users will not see a glimpse of the redirect page and thus not realise.
To install: simply replace forums.php with the one included.
Thanks to our forums moderator Johnson for this tip!
