It takes over and replaces the wordpress comment system... is that possible?

XenScripts has a comment handler file which takes over the WordPress comment system. The other day someone was working on getting XS to work with their theme. I took the idea and made some modifications: Comment Evolved for WordPress and Jetpack to work nicely with XenScripts and XenForo can all play well together (with code changes).

hmmm lets say i only want to use the xf comments? is that possible? if it is, can i see a screen shot of how that would look? i tried registering on your site but it wouldn't let me.

also, how about the thread of the post, i dont want it accessible through xf, just through the blog... but i want the blog to use xf for comments... get me?

XenScripts takes over the WP Comments. So coding the theme so only XF comments should be possible but I have not tried it. It would be a matter of changing the theme files.

Hmm. If I'm understanding what you are asking - no. If you want XF to handle comments then that thread would need to be accessible.

Interesting. The error stated Tiaga Chat interfered even though it was disabled. Uninstalled TC and registration now works. Sorry - hadn't even looked after the upgrade to 1.2 RC.
 
just registered and commented, works! it did seem to take a little long tho, on the submitting of the comment and then showing the comment...

since i have to leave the thread accessible, if i was to set up a redirect on the blog post thread to go to the blog post, would commenting still work?

Did you go through WP or XF side?

I think that would be a mess but it's a guess.

Actually, I started messing around with the styling the other day to see if I could could get comments on the WP side to look like the XF thread. This would be up to someone's skill - beyond mine ;)
 
Is this mod still supported guys? We are planning to upgrade to XF v1.2 soon and have this bridge installed for our WP blog but seeing that at xenscripts' forum people are crying for help without a single reply from the mod author it starts to worry me a little.

Our wordpress bridge is still on v1.1 and I haven't seen a single update for it since april 2012.

I don't know of anyone with the script who is crying for help on that forum or here.

I purchased this mod last week and emailed the author with some support questions. He replied promptly and couldn't have been more helpful.
 
I've been trying to hunt down the issue with WP posts having different IDs from the author. This is a rather wild one - appears on some sites and not on others. In multisite - appears on some blogs and not on others.

To help, I added some code to the /xf_integration/admin/xf_readme.php file.

XenScripts Readme 2013-07-27 13-30-22.webp

Same user, logged in to a different blog on multisite

XenScripts Readme 2013-07-27 13-40-57.webp

Notice that different roles are being assigned ... strange eh?

Place the following between function xsmenu_readme() and echo " <pre ...

PHP: 
  global $current_user, $wp_roles;

   echo "<div class='wrap'>";
   screen_icon( 'plugins' );

   echo "<h2>XenScripts: A WordPress and XenForo Bridge</h2>" ;
 
   echo '<div style="float:right; margin-right: 20px; padding: 10px; border:solid 1px #ccc;">';
   echo('<strong>User Information</strong><br />');

  echo 'Login Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . '<br />';
  echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . '<br />';
  echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . '<br />';
  echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . '<br />';
  echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . '<br />';
  echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . '<br />';
 
  echo '<br /><br /><strong>Role Information:</strong> <br />';

   foreach ( $wp_roles->role_names as $role => $name ) :

     if ( current_user_can( $role ) )
       echo 'This user has a role of ' . $role . '<br />';

   endforeach;
 
 
   echo '</div>';


   echo('<br /><strong>Plugin Information</strong><br />');

   // Print the plugin version
   echo "The installed version of XenScripts is ";
   $xs_ver = new XenScripts();
   print $xs_ver->xs_version;
   echo "<br />XenScripts has been tested up to WordPress ";
   print $xs_ver->xs_wp_maximum;

It isn't pretty but gets more information to the logged in users.

So which of these versions should be used for bridging WP3.5.2 and XF1.2? And where can I download it from?

Jamie is the author of this plugin and is the only one who can distribute the script. His email is at the bottom of the xenscripts.com/buy page.
 
question, when adding a post to wp it automatically creates a thread on xf correct? all wp posts have to go in 1 xf forum or can they be set to go to different forums depending on the wp category? if not, can the thread be moved to another forum once its posted and still work as the wp post discussion?

thanks in advance!

Settings are done by category. Each category may point to a different forum.

Threads may be moved and merged.

This would be a WP theme adjustment by removing or commenting out the WP comment form.
