Title: How Can I Integrate SMF forum into my wordpress?
Post by: Spewbluff on August 24, 2009, 05:28:45 PM
Dear people

I have  difficulties finding it, and I hope U could answer or give me the right direction

my wordpress i am developing atm is right here : www.dwindlepoker.com
the SMF forum i am builing is : www.dwindlepoker.com/forum

BUT, i don't like those two standalone, and i was hoping if anyone can tell me if there is a proper plugin to integrate the SMF forum into my wordpress?
without leaving the page ofcourse. If necessary i rebuilt the SMF forum and titles, thats a minor
as long as I can just work on my main page and people can stay on the page.

So cliffnotes :

Plugin
Where to find it?
and is it easy doable to place it in wordpress? ( I did joomla before and they had a very easy extension for it)

thx!

You are better off asking that question at SMF or Wordpress to see if they have a plugin or something. I know one was being worked on at one time, but I don't know if anything has ever worked. Good luck!

I don't see anything linking back to TinyPortal there. I see some other links, but for the most part it links you to simplemachines.

haha, well I guess lunabyte liked TinyPortal. They must have went under, or given up on the software and then redirected their domain to the place they thought had the best portal. :)

They did that.
They gave it a good try for a while and then folded.

There have been many attempts over the past several years to have some kind of SMF/WP, or WP/SMF bridge so that the two could share a common member base, but so far all those attempts fell short of a good working solution, or just fell apart altogether.

Hopefully the one that Crip linked to will do better... http://www.dmry.net/wordpress-smf-bridge-plugin-10-beta
Those of us who run SMF as our main platform would prefer it to go SMF/WP of course.
