Hi,

Anyone have any advice for a decent solution to integrating a Message Board / Forum feature to a s2Member Pro driven website? Here's what I'm looking to do:

- Create a platform where some s2Members may (or may not) be Committee Members.
- Committees are pre-defined and members can fall into a Committee, but cannot create their own.
- If they are a Committee member, then they would have unique access to a Committee Message Board Page (for each Committee) where they could interact with other Committee members in a Message Board format.
- Ability to upload files for sharing between fellow Committee Members.

Could anyone recommend a WP plug-in which in your experience plays nice w/ s2Member? And which also may meet some of the basic criteria listed above?

I've tried installing the BuddyPress plug-in, but seems a bit much for what I need initially.

Oddly enough, something like this message board plugin would work well if stripped down.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hi Adam,

I remember some users mention Mingle being really good, but I don't know if it does all you need it to do.

Thanks Christian.

I've also come across Mingle and it does look alright. Basically I'm looking at Buddy Press, BB Press, Mingle, Simple:Form, and was wondering if any developers had any positive experiences with any before I move full speed ahead.

Thanks again.

Cool. Let's see if any other user who had experienced with forums for WordPress finds this and shares his thoughts.
