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)

Update No 1: forums.php 26 Nov 2005

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!
