HI all!


I have a problem and no one seems to find a solution... I hope you can help me.

I have a website: http://www.ultimonivel.net (wordpress 2.6.2) and a forum http://www.ultimonivel.net/foro (SMF 1.1.6)

I wish every new article on main site would have and automatic post on SMF and a new link to that post at the end of the article.



So imagine.... I write an article on Wordpress. I would like SMF create an automatic topic on the forum I want about that article. And on the wordpress article a link to that post.

So when anyone visit my site they are gonna see a new article and a link that says... "Comments (5)". That links goes to my SMF, to a topic with 5 answers.....

Is it possible?

Thank you.


But instead that everyone comment that article on wordpress I want a link that shows how many comments have the article on the

Note: this post will not display until it's been approved by a moderator.

personally, I would use SMF exclusively for the comments.

Then use SSI.php to display the comments and the "(5) Comments" bit.

This approach would then enable you to track comments by user, ip etc.

SSI.php can display 'n' posts from a particular board: this can be your "article board"

so DONT write the article in Wordpress, but write it in an SMF board thread and use SSI .php to display it.

You can even use the moderation features of SMF control if posts are displayed automatically or not, and the replies can be viewed by visitors using their cell-phones since SMF has built in WAP support
My best suggestion to you is that you do whatever you feel like doing, for whatever reason you choose to make, without any required explanation nor justification. You probably will, so hop to it!

boo hoo!

It's by far not an easy task.  Here's how I would custom code it (pseudo-explanation):

Choose a particular board of your forum to hold any/all discussions for any wordpress articles.

Write some code so that for each article created, a new topic is created.

Write a chunk of code that loads with each article to search said board for any SMF topics with the same name and load the related topic information (number of replies)

Then you can display that on the wordpress page.
