S2BD Bridge

S2BD Bridge allows the linking of user’s custom profile fields (S2Member plugin) with forums (bbPress plugin) and activity notifications by email (bbPress Digests plugin) for users who are subscribed.

S2BD Bridge is an added extension and therefore requires the prior installation of the following extensions which makes it the gateway :

• S2Member (https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/)
• bbPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/)
• bbPress Digests (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-digest/)

Scenario :

• A user registers by answering your custom questions (only questions with answers “yes/no”) (S2Member custom fields) : sample question: Are you interested in English literature ? (Possible answers: Yes or No)
• Answers to questions are coupled to specific forums (BbPress) : sample forum correlated : English literature
• Email notification alerts inform the user accordingly inform the user about the upcoming related forums (BbPress Digests)

Features :
