any idea or suggestion will helps me a lot..thanks in advance
You can give a try to obscureclouddon's mod, as an alternative to vbSSO.

It seems to be a good choice, since it has features you need :
WordPress->vB features:
*Registration sync – new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
vBulletin ->Wordpress features NEW
*Registration sync – new users created on vB are automatically created on WP
The bad things are :
this modification is in beta stage
free version has limited features, the pro version is, IMHO, expensive... (but it could worth the cost..)

I am currently trying to build a website for a client using WordPress for a school project. The client requires a user system with a log in and storage of user permissions and information.I downloaded a plugin called Simple Membership because it had the best reviews for user membership plugins.
The biggest problem I am experiencing at the moment is the default contact information that comes with the plugin is not the information I wish to store. I need other fields to be stored. I am a developer so I first took a look at the code using FTP and made a few changes just to the registration form to show off to the client for the first iteration.
I have now been made aware that when updating the plugin all of my changes will be overridden. I am here to ask if there is an efficient way to make changes to a plugin without creating a new plugin(does not seem practical, I need to change the function of this plugin not just add to it). At the moment that is the only solution I am aware of. Can someone point me in the right direction?
It may not be the best solution but it's practical on your case.Take a backup of your formula plugin and re install it if a new update comes in.
I have an existing PHP/MySQL application (non-WP). I'm showing bits and pieces of this application via iframes in a WP site. Right now the client has two admins; WP and my own custom admin and it's inconvenient for them.
What I want to achieve is to be able to show my custom admin inside WP. Every section of my admin is quite simple and with few controls so I don't mind doing a re-write to adapt this code to WP.
Having never really developed anything related to WordPress I need to know conceptually how to approach this. I don't need for code samples but rather the steps involved in all of this. Any gotchas from experienced WP developers are quite welcome too.
I think you can develop a WordPress plugin for your non-WP application.
Here's the approach I would try (you only say your app is quite simple, so I'm just assuming it's made of few pages/forms):
Create a plugin that leverage WP authentication
Show your app inside iframes in the WP admin panel
Change your app UI in order to match or use the WP admin panel one.
I did this in the past and having an iframe to be showed in the WP admin it's quite easy and users are happy to have just one authentication point.
I know very little of WP aside form it being a CMS geared towards (or started from) blogging, but may people have found the product capable of functioning as their sites CMS.
I was recently asked to write a PHP app to signup, (with email confirm and email notification to admin), login to make and manage orders. - so a user can register and get an email confirmation... once they are approved, they can log in, and place an order. and manage their information. There is also an admin section to manage the users and requests... ALL very straight ahead.
So I write it - and test it and everything is fine... Until the client tells me that it's going to be part of a WP site.
Problem, the client ONLY knows HTML, NOT PHP... I don't know WP.
When I upload a directory to the root - and try to run the app, I get redirect to /$url .. and a page not found displaying in the WP theme.
I have a feeling it has to do with the AUTH module I'm using... but there is a huge BIG PICTURE issue I need to conquer - how to integrate an existing PHP app into a WP site...
Q: how do I reference and use the WP emailing system?
thx - I know it's a broad question. but if someone can point me into a direction...
I have read the post regarding templates in WP and setting up a template with PHP code so it's executed... but it seems 'wrong' to have to create a template for each php page.
What your app is about ? If you got only the Auth module already coded you should only import user and password because WP does this out-of-the-box.
Wordpress can be twist up for your need but you need to do it in the WP way :).
If you want to add some functions to it check out the plugin library on wordpress.org. If you know wordpress and no plugin match your needs then the best way to go is writing your own plugin : https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
Or maybe just add your custom functions into functions.php, see https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Functions_File
For pages, you basically have to type of it in WP : articles - i.e. blog posts - and the static pages. You can add some custom one check https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
I know this answer is more a bunch of links but if you don't nothing about WP you should first learn how it works before try to hack it.
Hope it helps !
I have created a Wordpress multisite and was wondering if it was possible to programatically add new sites (blogs) and users through the API?
Basically I have another website (ASP.Net C#) where I will be selling something and I want to give users a free blog everytime they buy something. So everytime a user registers on my other website I want to connect to wordpress multisite through the API and create a new blog for the user.
I have looked through some of the documentation on XML-RPC and saw stuff about adding new blog posts but is it possible to add actual blogs too? Or if not, is there any other way of doing this?
Hi: Like a year ago i had the same problem. Im not sure if it is possible to create it using the API. We solved at that time creating the tables automatically with php scripts. An easy way is to have the wordpress core tables, and everytime a new user register, you just copy the wp core tables into new wp tables but with a new prefix. That way you just personalize some fields like blog title.
You can contact me is you think I can help.
I've been working on a home project using CodeIgniter Reactor, and have come to a point where I'm going to need to implement whole set of features that ideally will work via one single sign-on system for users. 2 of these features will be custom features that rely on user registration, the other 2 features are pretty standard feature requests. I could write these 2 new features myself, but that would take a while, and I feel like I'd be re-inventing the wheel, given the feature sets of the alternatives out there. I wonder if I'm better off using existing solutions, using their user registration/sign-on system, and hooking my new features into that system.
The key standards requirements are:
A blog system - obvious answer here is to use WordPress, and use the WP Pages for the more static content but updateable content. Users will be able to comment on blog posts.
A forum - In addition to commenting on individual blog posts, they will be able to start up their own discussions about subjects. The obvious thing here is 1) one user login for both the blog and the forum, and 2) Upon creating a blog entry, a forum thread is created, and all comments on the blog entry are actually posts on this thread.
Facebook integration - the user login/registration will allow the user to connect via facebook. (I may add twitter integration later), with any comments posted on a blog entry optionally being posted to their facebook wall.
I have been trying to look at http://www.wp-united.com, which supposedly integrates WP and PhpBB, but the site is down. I've also been looking at facebook plugins for wordpress, which would cpver the majority of my requirements. Integration with phpBB or some other forum could come later.
My question really is: has anyone had a go at doing this amount of integration/hacking of wordpress/phpbb and facebook before? Did it save time, or did you opt for a completely custom solution?
It's good not to re-invent the wheel, but in your case you are merging a heavyweight platform (Wordpress) with a library (CodeIgniter).
I really think there's little value in what you're doing. Here's why
Wordpress is more than just a blog; with plugins you can turn it into a full-fledge CMS. It's also very heavy.
Wordpress is coded as a stand-alone application. Incidentally, there are forum plugins for WordPress
My suggestion would be :
Use Wordpress, use the Pods plugin for routes and ORM functionality
Use CodeIgniter, find a lightweight blog plugin for CodeIgniter
