Hi,

I tried to install this plugin in my wordpress and all work ok so I configure the plugin in my wordpress and I have this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_admin() (previously declared in /home/evitalac/public_html/wp-includes/load.php:566) in /home/evitalac/public_html/foro/Sources/Security.php  on line 839

SMF 1.1.11, WordPress 3.0

smf2wp works like a charm.

I'm looking for a modification so SMF will be on the WordPress website.
The WordPress website will be closed, so registration disabled so only the people who are writing articles etc. are able to login via site.com/wp-admin

So, the SMF website thats located at site.com/forum and my WordPress at site.com/ and I want a URL in the SMF that goos to site.com/forum with the forum IN the lay-out of WordPress.
Don't care about the themes, that will come later

I'm using at the moment SMF 2.0 RC3, but I'll reset my website and start again with a fresh website (I'm having 2000 members, but it just needs to be done.)

wordpress 3.0 and SMF 2.0RC3 where are you?

[peanut123]

I am using the wp-smf-bridge. I only have 3 users on the smf an admin which was the initial user and two addition admin names I created using the original forum admin name.
When I bridged the site, it bridged the two additional admin names and passwords, but on the original admin name that was generated with the smf site creation did not bridge and the password does not work. I can not access this account now and I can not retrieve the password because there was no email assigned to it yet. I have only just started this site and it is not even close to going "live" yet.
I apologize for rambling. My question is how do I get that password back. Do I have to uninstall the bridge to be able to get back into forum using that name?
Any help would be great!!
Thanks

Is there any plugin for wordpress and smf 1.1.11 that use the wordpress comments on the forum? so that when people click on the blog posts comment they will comment the blog post on the forum?
my forum and blog are on two different servers (same company)

[Woo1f]

I've hacked together a quick SMF 2.0 + Wordpress 2.7 DIY mod that allows logged in SMF users to post Wordpress comments using their SMF credentials:

In your wordpress template's comments.php file, add this at the begining:

Code Select Expand


<?php
require_once("/path/to/smf/forum/SSI.php");
global $context;
?>


Then, further down in the same file, find the folowing:

Code Select Expand


<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>

<p><small>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(get_permalink()); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log out &raquo;</a></small></p>

<?php else :?>

paste this after the else statement line:

Code Select Expand


<?php
if ($context["user"]["is_logged"]){
?>
<input type="hidden" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $context["user"]["username"]; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $context["user"]["email"]; ?>"/>
        <?php
}else{
?>


Then scroll down a bit until you see this:

Code Select Expand


<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="22" tabindex="2" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?> />
<label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>

and add this after it:

Code Select Expand

<?php }?>

This is an incomplete hack... I haven't added the SMF user's Website URL, because I didn't know where in the SMF api to retrieve it. I'll post back when I find it, or one of you kind people can inform me :p

I should also note: In my case, I had to enable subdomain independent cookies in the SMF admin, as my forum is installed to a subdomain.

Hi,
Sorry, this is going to be a rather long post.
I'm a complete noob to this stuff (php) and it all seems extremely daunting 
I'm currently working with Dreamweaver and Fireworks etc. to create general website layouts.
What I was hoping to achieve is to basically create sites that also have a forum section for a web-site related community and a blog section/page for the purpose of having easy to update news and blog information.

The ideal is to just have a single register/log-in page (or element/table on every site page) which will allow the registered users to log-in and post comments on either the blog posts or in the forum. It really doesn't have to do any more than either share a database or share the user information across the blog and forum databases.

Both of the databases would be hosted on the same domain (or possibly within a sub-domain) of the same site.
The installs of the forum and blogging proggy's would both be 'fresh' per site, so there's no worries about existing users needing to be migrated (if this was needed I believe it could be manually done via admin on the SMF).

After searching about for quite a while now, I think I'm going to choose SMF as the way to go for the forum. I am still debating whether to use WP for the blogging side of things or not.

The 'blogging' side, I really want to exist within a page created in Dreamweaver, so that it matches the exact style of the site.
Perhaps it's possible to just add the blog-post and comment coding into exsisting tables created within Dreamweaver, yet still use the online interface of the blogging software to update?

I believe the forum should be able to have the 'theme' changed or modified to match into the colours (and background?) of the site. Is this correct? If so, is this a fairly simple process to undertake?

When I first decided I was going to try doing this, the overall idea seemed simple, yet I am now feeling bogged down in all this extra information and coding requirements.

I quoted the above because it seems as though (if using WP as the blogger) this seemingly simple code alteration would do what I need with regards to user-intergration across the SMF and WP databases. Is this correct?

I apologize if I happen to be asking seemingly simple (or indeed stupid) questions. Like I say, I mainly work with Dreamweaver and Fireworks html coding for design. I've even been out of that game for a while and am currently re-educating myself with it.

Any help or advice that you can offer in order to help me achieve my goals will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance for your time.

Regards,
W.

wordpress 3.0 and SMF 2.0RC3 where are you?

Ditto that.  I am looking into SMF2WP and the SMF integration hooks to determine how to make it work. 

[vsamigo]

Please help,

I'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/smf2wp/bridge.php on line 13

when activating the plugin

I got newly installed Wordpress 3.0.1 Russian with 1 user (admin) and SMF 1.1.11 with many users and topics, etc. (and same admin login and pass). Both installed in the same base (but smf has cp1251_general_ci encoding and wp has utf8_general_ci), wp is in domain/, smf - in domain/forum.

Is there any way to make it work correctly, like to clean SMF base, activate plugin and then import SMF base back?

Thank You

I had issues with any of the smf wp bridges I tried, the best thing to do is skin your forum to look exactly like your wordpress page, then code your wp nav between the smf wrap and header

A Wordpress 3.0.1  + SMF 2.0 RC3 integration would totally change my life 

[splatcat]

I'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/smf2wp/bridge.php on line 13

when activating the plugin

I got this as well. I have no idea about these things but a bit of research told me it was because I was running php4 rather than php5. I little more digging and I found a line of code to add to my .htaccess file in my WP folder and it now works great (not sure if that method is just relevent to my host, 1and1, or not). Like you I have a large established SMF forum 1.1.11 and a fresh WP installation 3.0.1. This bridge touched nothing in SMF, it obviously just reads if the user is logged into the forum.

Nice looking work on tumbleweed-propaganda sites.

Is this type of setup your using . . .
mysite.com/
mysite.com/forum/

. . . integrated as a sub domain structure?  I'd would like to go that route but setup is tricky on my host.  Any info on setting up this type of structure (without going on the wild goose chase) in particular proper file tree structure or whatever the integration technique is would be appreciated

[SEEN]

so theres no solution up until today?

i might convert to phpbb instead.. i still believe smf > phpbb

[Joriske]

Maybe a little bit of hope: hxxp://www.forexp.net/wordpress-plugins/smf-to-wordpress-bridge-plugin/smf2wp-2-0-bridge-between-smf-2-0-rc3-and-wordpress-3-0-1/ (copy and paste)

But development doesn't seem to go that  fast (he/she expected it to be ready in about a week or so).
As I didn't found any alternatives for this plugin yet it raises a couple of questions:

- Isn't there enough interest for this kind of functionality for SMF/Wordpress>
- Do developers want to wait for the final release of SMF 2.0?
- Or is it too difficult for coders to write a plugin like this? (I'm not a coder myself so I have no idea how much time can get into writing a plugin or such).

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Yes. It is very difficult and time consuming to write such a plugin. Not to mention bugs, security etc. You don't want such a plugin turn your forum or blog vulnerable, would you?

Is there one working for Wordpress 3.xx & SMF 1.11?
