Phpbb inside WordPress, possible?

  • I want to accomplish a simple thing, i want that my forum will open up inside my wordpress blog between my wordpress header and footer. I’ve installed wp-united and decided its to much trouble (changing the blog url, remembering to edit every file after updates) plus i don’t care for integration with users etc’. is there a simpler way to do that?

    THanks

  • I just written a plugin (VVVI), proof-of-concept, that in theory will allow you to integrate X into wordpress, without having to modify X. I’ve tested it on phpbb and mediawiki and seems to work:

    https://darkircop.org/vvvi

    It’s as simple as adding the URL to X in your wordpress page, and you’ll have X embedded into your wordpress template.

    Technically it will fetch X and merge it with the master page (think server-side iframes).

    Hi sorbo,

    I just tried your plugin and followed your instruction.

    I get an error /blog/wp-content/plugins/vvvi-0.1/vvvi.php on line 61 and I noticed there is no /0/ after the init.php file??

    Any ideas?

    Hi CrazySerb,

    In the past I have used the following at the beginning of any PHP files that need access to WordPress’ functions:

    <?php
require( 'server_path_to_your_wordpress_web_root/wp-config.php' );
wp_cache_init();
?>

    So I assume that if you include this in the header of your forum template you should be able to access all the template functions available in WordPress.

    Hi all,
    I’m trying to achieve the same in my website hariz design . I have already seen the wp-united but i feel its already a bit complex to use. Any help appreciated.
