Just wanted to know please. Is it a good idea to use wordpress with smart machines forum.. do you recommend anything better?

Thanks in advance.

What I am trying to do is NOT an integration. It’s called moving away from Simple Machines Forum and going with WordPress. I want to transfer the members on SMF (Simple Machines Forum) to my new WordPress site. So those who are set to admins on SMF are set to admins on the blog.

I don’t even care if they are all set as normal subscribers. I am willing to go in and manually change them. All I want is the membership transferred from SMF to WordPress technology.

Could someone code something or do something that could do this?
Thanks,
Brian

I recently installed this bridge for WordPress and SMF: https://www.dmry.net/wordpress-smf-bridge-plugin-10-beta

It uses WordPress to register users in SMF, login to SMF, and edit their SMF profiles. Or at least, it’s supposed to do that.

I’m able to register through the WordPress registration, and WordPress then successfully creates the account on SMF. However, WP supposedly logs into SMF for me once I log into WP, but when I log in to WP, I’m not exactly logged into SMF.

SMF says (at the bottom) that whatever account I just logged into on WP is in fact logged into SMF and online, however I myself cannot post and am asked to login. I’m thinking maybe the server my WP is on is logged into SMF instead of me (though I could be completely wrong). However, I should be the one logged in instead, as I shouldn’t have to re-login through SMF.

Also, after I go to manually log into SMF, logging out via WP should log me out of both. It doesn’t, and I have to go an log out of SMF on my own.

Does anyone have any experience with the DMRY bridge that can help me sort this problem out? My friend and I were hoping to launch our site in a few days, and I’d rather not have to delay the forum’s opening. Thanks for any help!

I am using 1and1 hosting if that matters at all.

I appreciate any help.

It is a blog for free articles about printing – jobs/machines offers/requests. Everyone who like to sell or buy his printing machine or likes to get an offer for something to print (e.g. books, magazines etc.) can write an article in my blog.

The idea was, that it becomes more easy to get an market – overview about printing-jobs and machines.

What do you think about it?

Thanks for your reply.

I initially only wanted to use wordpress to display the news page, but I figured I might as well let wordpress run the show. Could we be be the only rock band with a website aiming for standards and not flashy um, Flash?

All comments welcome.
