Association Engine Quick-Start - Pongos Interactive

The following guide will help you with a minimum AE setup allowing users to create an account, login, and maintain account information.

Create Front End Login/Signup Page

Create a page for login/signup which contains the shortcode [associationengine_login].

Create a “dashboard” page for NetForum users to maintain account information using the shortcode [associationengine_account].

Setup xWeb Connection

Setup the xWeb username: The xWeb user account for the UAT database.
Setup the xWeb password associated with the xWeb user account.
Setup the SOAP WSDL URL to the definitions file/endpoint for the client’s xWeb instance. This value contains the path/folder to the test database for use on all dev sites. Typically https://netforum.XXX.org/nfXXXtest/xweb/secure/netforumxml.asmx?WSDL
