Wordpress Bridge - SMFBridge

[jjgallow]

That's right, with some limitations.

The first limitation...this plugin is not completed.  There is a functional one, though.

You can read about it here:

And get it here:

The other limitation is that it doesn't work well from SMF to wordpress, so your registrations, etc., have to be done through wordpress for it to communicate properly.  I'm working on that right now.

[jjgallow]

OK,

Version 1.06 is done, and comes with a twin plugin for SMF...so you can now integrate both ways, as originally intended with this project 

[Orstio]

Good use of the SMF integration hooks in the twin plugin.   

[jjgallow]

Thanks Orstio,

Yes, the integration hooks are absolutely crucial.  I hope to see much more development with them!

[motumbo]

Cool.  I shall check this out.

So this works pretty good, then?

I am thinking about installing Wordpress Multi User and use the SMF database to store the user credentials.

Question: Will I able to export a message in WP to a forum post in SMF ? I want to use SMF as the comment system, in other words.

Thanks!

Hello,

I've got some pretty specific needs for a wordpress forum integration and I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything like this is or willing to write something like this (I'm a ruby on rails dev and have very limited PHP experience).

Basically, my site has gotten to the point where I get enough traffic and close to 50+ comments per post. The thing is most of the comments are really "forum type" discussion threads as opposed to actually comments about the post.

I'm trying to find some kind of forum or wordpress plugin that will integrate directly into my current wordpress site. For instance, when I make a new post, perhaps it will create a new thread on the forum for people to have discussion. I also don't want my readers to completely abandon using my comments. The more comments you see, the more likely you are to leave one. Anways, maybe when someone wants to make a comment, he will be redirected in the forum (as you can see here: hxxp:www.lost-italia.net/ [nonactive], even tought they don't use wordpress)

Any ideas or am I going to have to have someone develop it for me?
if nothing exists and someone would be willing to develop the plugin (either for free or as a contract job) I'd also be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks

I am trying to find a mod for smf where my smf member database, when a member logs in, will automatically create and login into my wp blog.

whether or not they have a registered wp login.

Someone can say to me , what is the bridge for wordpress-smf , and the instructions

[Prospero]

NIBOGO, you can start here [nofollow] or here [nofollow].

I don't think that you will be able to make it work with 1.1.4 and new versions of WP. Simple Machines had a problem with the plugin, so its development was stopped. Which is really, really sad.

[digitalpretzel]

would this plug-in work for me?  the only thing i want to do is have a section on my WordPRess blog that shows the most recent SMF forum topics/reply in my forum (which resides in the /forum/ directory on my site.

Thats all i want... i wish i can find a way to make it happen.

I just installed this plugin with the latest versions of WP and SMF, and it doesn't appear to be working.

[DASBEAN]

Any update on this?

[FCF iNFERNO]

Yep.  Jeff (the creator) announce somewhere on these boards that he was switching from SMF and would not longer be supporting it.

It does not work.  I wish I would've read this before undergoing a complete site creation integration from scratch.

I had a working phpbb forum plagued with spam, and an HTML site.  I wanted to have a blog site where people could post comments, and keep my forums.  So I did a TON of research before arriving at WP and SMF.  WP was the most versatile (though vulnerable) blog app due to the plugins, etc.  and SMF was listed as the best of the "free" BB options.

Everything installed great, imported my database from phpbb no problems, users registered at the forums could post comments on my blog without re-registering.  That lasted about 3 days, or long enough for me to announce a site overhaul and generate some new traffic. 

Before making any changes, I backed up databases on both sides (smf and wp) because it would not import some of the new registrants. 

As soon as I tried to sync the databases the second time (first was at install) it completely mucked them up.  It added blanks " " to where numbers would be in names.  "jimmy2race" became "jimmy race" and virtually everyone stopped being able to log in at the forum.

What's really annoying is that the db backup isn't working for SMF.  So everything is far from perfect.  I'd say if you want to KILL your forum completely, install this bridge.  Otherwise, don't.

EDIT:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=161671.msg1310825#msg1310825

That is where Jeff announces he will no longer support this project.  Like I said, I wish I would have read this a week ago.

I'd like to scrap/convert my current comments system on wordpress with SMF.

I have wordpress installed and I have SMF installed. Wordpress has a few comments on a few posts.

Ideal Situation: Everytime I added a post to Wordpress, a new topic within a designated board is created. Everytime someone adds a comment to the wordpress post, a comment is shown on wordpress and is registered as a reply to the topic post. Also everytime someone responds in the forum, this is shown on the main wordpress site. All my current posts and comments would be automatically converted over.

I'm sorry to revive such an old thread but does anybody have any information on if there is a way to get this running on SMF 2.0?

[samames]

for smf 2.0 rc 1-1? please...?
