Wordpress 3.0+ User Integration

[NP90]

I did try before I posted here but I can't seem to install it. I'm new to SMF so there's a chance I might be doing it wrong, but for every other mod I've uploaded to my SMF installation I get an 'Install Mod' link. I don't for this, I just get List Files and Delete.

And when I try to upload the zip file through a http connection (where there is an Install link) I get 'The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.'

Any install instructions that might help?

[SlammedDime]

You're probably using 2.0 Final, of which this package installer hasn't been updated to install for.  You can click the 'Advanced' link at the bottom of the package manager and change the version to 2.0 RC5 and then it will be able to install for you.

[NP90]

Ah, that must have been it. Changed it to RC5 and it works perfectly, well, as far as I can tell. This is amazing! It was so simple too, I thought this was going to be a mammoth task.

The only thing I want to do now is put a login form on the homepage of my WordPress site - is this going to be ridiculously difficult like I imagine?

Also do you have a PayPal address if I want to make a small donation?

This is a great mod.  Are there plans to make it work with 2.0 Final?  I mean officially.

[NP90]

Could anyone help me figure out how to integrate a login form for SMF in the WordPress part of my site? Is this even possible? Any help would be amazing - I'm at a standstill on development of my site until I figure this out!

I'll buy you a beer via PayPal

EDIT: Scratch that, I think I've done it. More beer for me!

never mind....

[SlammedDime]

It's not an error, it's just information.  You can try to fix it by clicking the 'fix file' button next to the wp-login.php file.

[Eudemon]

i did, wasn't working because my wp-login.php was not 777
for some reason i thought that file was wp-config, so yeah

[Eudemon]

update:
bug? if i click logout in wordpress, my smf will logout, but my wp is still logged in

and then i switch to another browser
when i click login, i will be automatically redirected back to smf, which is logged in already
then i go back to wp, i'm still not logged in

ps.i'm using subdomain for wp, and root for smf

Is there anyway you can make this work for SMF 2.0 RC3?  I tried emulating RC5 with the advanced option but when I go to install the "Execute Code: $auto_0.php" step causes the installation to fail.

This is the error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_integration_function() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/forum/Packages/temp/$auto_0.php on line 4

I've been trying to get something like this for the newer SMF and WP versions for the longest time!!  Please make it work for RC3 because there's too many packages that I use that don't go past RC3 and I can't run my site without them.   So I'm stuck at RC3 until they upgrade them for newer versions.

Also do you have ANY clue how to integrate the SMF login check into wordpress?  I used to be able to do it and somewhere along the line with WP updates it stopped working and I just get a login loop that never ends.   I'm calling the SSI.php and trying to use the is_not_guest function at the top of my header.php to block off my wordpress blog to people who aren't logged into my SMF forum.   It works on all of my other subdomains but not the wordpress!   I will pay good money for someone who can figure it out.

Hello friends ! I am running SMF 2.0 and my website url iswww.heyrtu.com

1.I have installed smf in ROOT
2.I have 249 members,40,000 page views and more then 3,000 unique visitors in 3 months.
3.This site is very important for me and i want to install wordpress bridge in it so that i could add more functionality !
4.Can you please tell me the detailed working of WordPress bridge ?

I mean , as i have installed my SMF in root of domain , where shall i install WordPress ?

What database details shall i use while WP install ? Same as in SMF or something else ??


If i want to uninstall wordpress bridge and wordpress at some point will i be able to revert my forum back to the condition before wordpress and wordpress bridge installation ?

[SlammedDime]

4) The bridge makes sure users are integrated between SMF and Wordpress and tries to log them into both when they log into the forum, nothing more, nothing less.

Install Wordpress however you want, it doesn't matter.  You can disable or remove the bridge whenever you want, it won't affect anything in SMF or Wordpress.

Thanks ! but please tell me just two things please :

1.Database of wordpress shall be same as that of my current forum or not ?
2.I have installed forum in root and now want to install wordpress in a directory in root , hope it won't create a problem ?

[SlammedDime]

1) As I said, it doesn't make a difference, install it how you want to.
2) No problems, again, you can install it wherever you want.

[rishab555555]

When i try to install wordpress and went to the installation url : www.mysite.com/plus

where plus is the name of directory i have put WordPress in , i am being automatically redirected to my forum....


I am redirected to my forum , whatever URL i type in front of my domain name


Sir please help me to get into the installation

[SlammedDime]

That's outside the scope of this topic/board... If you need help installing Wordpress, you'll need to visit their support forum for assistance.

[rishab555555]

Ohhhh i just got the solution :

Sharing with all :

Just go to :  www.yourdomain.com/wordpress_installationdirectory/wp-admin/install.php

[rishab555555]

I have my forum in the root directory.Now i want wordpress to be installed in root and SMF to be moved to /forum directory.


After doing all this if i apply this wordpress bridge in SMF , will that work ?

[SlammedDime]

yes, as I have said, the configuration of files and databases makes zero difference.

[rishab555555]

Thanks for reply
