Topic: Super Tight PunBB Integration (I hope)!

Check out http://timothysykes.com/forum/
Spent some time hacking punBB to integrate with wordpress... the entire site is wordpress with the forums  powered by punBB. What do you guys think?

If you need any help with your wordpress and punBB integration - send me an email or comment here and I'll try to help. It's actually quite easy once you understand the code.

Re: Super Tight PunBB Integration (I hope)!

That looks very good. I would like to know how you got it integrated with your theme.

Thanks!

It would be perfect if you describe your integration steps in PunBB wiki.

You must be asking pallian? (I'm not WP-guru)

Nevertheless, if you specify the details of what do you need from PunBB in view of integration, I'll try to reply :-)

Re: Super Tight PunBB Integration (I hope)!

Sorry guys - I used another email address when I signed up here... just checked that email and saw your questions.
Ok - there's a bit of code involved to integrate the forums with wordpress... especially since you want users to only login once. What I did was use the wordpress login as the primary login.

I can give you guys the PHP code - would you like it here or via email?

Re: Super Tight PunBB Integration (I hope)!

It would probably be best if you make a wiki entry for it smile

Re: Super Tight PunBB Integration (I hope)!

I think sharing here would be a better solution! :)

I'm actually looking forward to the cookie sync... I customized the WP plugin (jl-punbb) to not sync my "unverified" account (that I have since I'm using Register Plus, a plugin that allows me to have a user click a link on a welcome email, to confirm his address before "activating" the account) and I'm in the process of writing a cronjob to sync the DB, pushing new, confirmed, users from WP to punBB every 10-20m...

But I'm not sure about the cookies... I've never worked with them so I'm not sure what could use some work in order to function properly! I definitely need the sync because I'm gonna disable all member related functionalities from the punBB side of things...

I'm also curious on how I can call WP functions (like verify if the user is logged in before giving access to the forums even) and how to integrate the header/footer of the site... :)

Any help would be appreciated :)
