Requirements
Our products are designed for quick setup. In most cases, integrating them into your website takes less than 10 minutes. We provide a simple piece of HTML code in this article that you can copy and paste to embed our product. This makes integration a breeze, whether you're a solo WordPress user or a company with a large engineering team.
Set up Guide
Here is how it works:
Create a “Community” link for your audience in the header
Create the component for the iframe
Add your community URL
Invite members to join!
Pretty simple right? In our example, we will use a local fitness studio's website to showcase how anyone can benefit from a community on their site. We kept it simple so that anyone can understand what is going on. We will also provide the HTML code for all the steps necessary.
Another way you can integrate our app is by using a frontend framework like React or Next.js using an iframe.
The first step is to create a link to your community page in your navigation. Here is how you would set it up using plain HTML:
<a href="/community">Community</a>Next, we want to create a community page where the links will redirect the user. We create a “community.html” page in our code base where you will embed your TC community URL.
Next, we have to embed the TC site to the community page. This is done using an iframe:
<iframe
src="COMMUNITY URL"
width="100%"
height="100%"
frameborder="0"
style="border: 1px solid #bfcbda88; border-radius: 4px;"
allowfullscreen=""
aria-hidden="false"
tabindex="0"
></iframe>Note: Depending on your CSS styling setup you need to change the width and height of the iframe so that it takes up the whole page.
Lastly, change the source URL in the “src” property with the URL to your community page. You must create a community on the TC website to get this URL. Once you have customized your community page copy the browser link and paste it on the "src" property.
The link to your home page community should look something like this (The provided link is not a real link, this is just for demo purposes):

A Common Question We Get
From customer interviews and demo presentations we had several people asking us the same question “Do my visitors need to create an account or log in?”
The answer is yes, they need to create an account to agree to our Terms & Conditions. They also need to learn about our privacy policy, through signing up on TC. For example, we tell them not to share personal info, illegal items, etc. This helps maintain a positive community and conform to privacy & data laws.
The solution we came up with was a Google, Microsoft, or work email login for a smoother user experience. We also add a layer of verification to keep bots off the tool.
