Howto: Integrate Phorum and Wordpress
January 12, 2006 05:59PM
Hi everybody,

at first let me praise you for the nice piece of software Phorum is :) I found it really simple to use and to integrate into my site.

The last days I spent some time on integrating a Phorum installation into a WordPress site managed by me. The forum now displays surrounded by the WordPress layout and user management is integrated (I made Phorum use the WordPress user- and login-system).

I wrote up what I did on my blog: [www.gloegl.de]

Some parts are quite hackish, if you have any suggestions on how to make this cleaner, I would appreciate any comments.

Perhaps some of you will find the info useful. Although it is about WP/Phorum integration, the technique can also be used for other Phorum-integration tasks.

Give these a shot. You will need to change the /phorum/dir to your Phorum dir.
function insert_phorum_user($user_id) {

    global $wpdb, $PHORUM;
 
    $userdata=get_userdata($user_id);
 
    $time = time();
 
    $curr_dir = getcwd();
    
    chidr("/phorum/dir");
    define("PHORUM_ADMIN", 1);

    include_once "./common.php";
    
    $phorum_user = array(
        "user_id" => $user_id,
        "username" => $userdata->user_login,
        "password" => $userdata->user_pass,
        "password_temp" => "",
        "email" => $userdata->user_email,
        "hide_email" => 1,
        "active" => 1,
        "admin" => 0,
        "date_added" => $time,
        "date_last_active" => $time
    );

    phorum_db_user_add($phorum_user);
    
    chdir($curr_dir);
}

function delete_phorum_user($user_id) {
 
    global $wpdb, $PHORUM;
 
    $curr_dir = getcwd();
    
    chidr("/phorum/dir");
    define("PHORUM_ADMIN", 1);

    include_once "./common.php";

    phorum_db_user_delete($user_id);

    chdir($curr_dir);

}

As for your style sheet, just use an external style sheet for Phorum like we do on this site. The default template is made for easy of customization for those that don't want to get down and dirty. You are beyond that I would say.

Hi gloeglm,

it seems you have a layout-problem (with the wohnheim-site) when displayed on a 800x600 screen...

Yeah, its a bit messy, I should probably remove the sidebar - but who has 800x600 those days anyways ;)

heh, I can tell you that ...
9.28% of the visitors on my site, 12.10% of the visitors on phorum.org use 800x600 ;).
