The issue with the flash uploader seems to be that it isn't passing the correct authentication cookie on upload, probably fairly easy to resolve with a change to that plugins file if needed.
Current Features:
- All logins / authentication handled by XenForo (Wordpress and XenForo must be on the same domain for this to work; currently Wordpress does not maintain an up to date user table and so on removing the addon all XenForo users will lose their Wordpress access)
- A thread created for each new blog post / page
- Comments stored as XenForo posts, the editor on both Wordpress and XenForo still works
- Avatars are synced correctly between the two
Are Wordpress cookies actually generated ? So, Xenforo is handling the logins ... but does Xenforo generate a Wordpress cookie ?
Thanks I'm glad you like it so farMy Hero
Any posts made before the plugin was installed will continue to use the built in Wordpress system to manage its comments. So whilst they will not be synced to Xenforo they will still display on Wordpress as they should.What happens to the existing comments prior to this plugin. Would it be synced as well?
For now it is an absolute requirement, web browsers won't share cookies between different domains because of security issues. Technically there are ways to get around this problem but they would require more time to fully explore.Just one question: How much of a hard requirement is "must be on the same domain" ? Is this one of those "can't be done" problems or a "can be done, if someone asks really really nicely" one?
Great ! Very exciting.Nope, no Wordpress cookies are generated. All of the Wordpress cookie authentication procedures are overwritten with the Xenforo equivalent.
That's one of those good reasons. ThanksFor now it is an absolute requirement, web browsers won't share cookies between different domains because of security issues. Technically there are ways to get around this problem but they would require more time to fully explore.
Not sure if this is relevant but that's why my bridge copy the basic user info to WordPress and do passive sync to the info. More information (and lots of Q&A) here http://xenforo.com/community/threads/wordpress-3-bridge.5398/ -- that's unfortunate that I haven't gotten time to improve it, yetIt would be better if we had the option to use the Wordpress member tables to manage the logins, etc. so we could use membership plugins like http://member.wishlistproducts.com/ or other plugins that make use of the Wordpress member tables. If Xenforo is handling everything, then how can we protect content and limit who can read and access it? Also by using Wordpress to manage logins we can enable other payment gateways and not be stuck with paypal (who would own all our customer data and payment info). So, there are many benefits to letting Wordpress take over the site access and have the forum be underneath it.

You guys should just join forces and together build the most feature-rich WordPress integration for XenForo.@xfrocks I'm not trying to create some form of a competition here, I have a great amount of respect for the system you built. You obviously have a well polished addon that does a good job of syncing the two databases together, mine is simply an attempt to implement some of the other features that people have requested in this thread. In a way we're attempting to achieve two different goals.
One thing I'd like to see is an author biography block that allows the author to show information like their real name, web site, etc. WordPress has this, but from the last time I used xfrocks' plugin, it was not usable.
Another thing I'd like to see, is that when an article is posted, a thread is started in the forum that has an excerpt from the article/blog. This would allow people to discuss the article (I believe Fighter's plugin does that). However, it should also display those comments (stored in XF database) beneath the article/blog itself.
I was thinking that since these fields are already in the WordPress database, that it could somehow be utilized. Although, I agree, depending on how custom profile fields are implemented, that would be a great place to store them as to keep everything in XF.Interesting, but XenForo doesn't currently store real name as a profile field. This may be best left until custom profile fields in XF1.1. However even now it should be very possible to load the Homepage and 'About you' fields from XF into WP.
OutstandingMy addon already does all the things you mention here Take a look at the screenshot I posted earlier in this thread.
Not sure if it's what you were asking, but this plugin does work fine with my addon (after a quick test).Is it possible to see if this works ?
