Have you just installed the Affero MOD or enabled
the Affero Option on your bulletin board? If YES, you need to read this:
In order to complete the customization of the Affero services that you just integrated into your forums, you need to take the following simple steps:
1. Join Affero
2. Send an email to Affero that includes the following information:
-forum name and location (url)
-your affero username
-your contact information (email)
-your beneficiary information (formal name, address and url)(only applicable if the beneficiaries you want are not already included in our database)
3. Affero creates your Join/Hall of Fame page (this page links from your forum Register page)
4. This is the most involved step. You must create default profiles for each forum in your bulletin board. This is so when someone clicks on the affero button of a non-affero member, the profile that appears is appropriate for your community. To do this, in your Author Preferences page, you must create pay profiles for each forum that you have in your message board. The name of the pay profiles MUST follow the following format:
forum id (which is the number of the forum and the root name of the forum). For example, the name of your pay profiles will look similar to this: 3.www.affero.com or 15.www.affero.com -- there must be no spaces in the name.
5. Send another email with all the names of your pay profiles. This will allow Affero to activate the default profiles with your forum. EACH TIME you add a new forum, you will also need to create an associated pay profile AND this information must be emailed to us so we can coordinate the default profiles.
6. Affero sends you an email letting you know everything is all set up and you are ready to go!
This sounds like a bit of work, but it's quick and easy! If you ever run into problems or questions with any of the steps above, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can walk you through each and every step.
***IMPORTANT NOTE***
If you are using something other than the standard bulletin board skin, you must contact us for proper integration.
