Composr supports integration with a number of forum systems through our forum driver system. We discuss any issues here.

Need better information?

The Composr documentation is user-driven:

  • If you have found documentation problems that you'd like someone else to solve log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you'd like to contribute a chunk of documentation to go into a tutorial, also log an issue to the tracker.
  • If you want to contribute a new tutorial you can submit a link.
