Hi,

I have got a website into which I would like to integrate a forum seamlessly. Any customers should be able to read any posts in public categories, but would be required to login to post new questions or read posts in private categories. It’s clear to me how to redirect login requests from the forum to my website, but it’s not clear how to allow anonymous access and login users into the forum automatically when they log into the existing website. We saw some similar questions already being asked, but they are all at least a year old. Is there any solution available?

Secondly, can the forum layout be changed in a way that I can integrate it via iFrame into my website? This would allow us to use existing navigation, chat and other functionality and widgets when using the forum. This would only work though if the Navbar and similar components can be eliminated. I’m aware of the alternative way - redirecting the customer to a subdomain - but it’s not a good solution.

Thanks in advance,  
Peter
