Has anyone ever modified WordPress blog software to use the member's table in WSNLinks?
I know you can do the opposite using the Integration Wizard in WSNLinks. However, I want to add a blog to an existing WSNL installation, and would love to have single signon.
Maybe a WP plugin that would handle adding members to the WSNL DB, and would also handle creating the appropriate cookies for login, etc.. and user record edits and updates.. hmmm.. sounds kinda difficult
Unless wordpress is designed to be able to integrate members (don't know), your best bet is to import existing WSN members to the wordpress db, then integrate WSN into it. You could try to manipulate it in phpmyadmin to make that work, or I should be able to write an importer in 2-5 hours ($100-$250).
maybe this is a stupid question, but ... when I import existing WSNLinks members into Wordpress and then use the member integration to get them back into WSN, will the members still be connected to their own links and comments, etc?
So, I exported the WSN members and imported them back into Wordpress. So far, so good, they all show up and with bulk edit they should all have the correct usergroup now.
But when I go back into the WSN admin to set up the integration I get this error message and no data is showing up in the dropdowns further down - oh, and I'm in 5.0.68 now:

thanks. I uploaded the file and it works fine on the first page, however when I fill in the information and go to the following page ("Please select which of the possible tables is the one you want to integrate with:") the drop-down is empty again.
BTW, when I'm asked Use a pre-configured option or Integrate with a new script I am able to select both radio buttons at the same time.
ETA: testing it right now with a clone running on 5.1.1: intgration page has no errors, database is showing up correctly and that radio button bug isn't there, however when I fill in the information and click the Integrate button, the page just reloads.
sooo, I upgraded to 5.1.2, ran the integration script without errors and now I'm prompted to login when I visit the admin panel. So now I try to login with my Wordpress username and password and fail. It tells me that the username and password don't match. *ugh*
In phpMyAdmin I switched off the offline mode so I can at least check if the integration otherwise worked. And it looks like it did. The memberlist is full with the members from the WP database and when I click on my username I get the list of links I added. I assume when I regenerate the # of listings will go from 0 to the actual amount of links?!? The search for myself in the members list did not work though. While typing my username ("Jenny") was displayed in that little window underneath the search field, but when I hit search the results page said "1 matching result", but it didn't actually display the result.
At long last, with no help from wordpress, I figured out they're using a third party library called phpass. I've managed to integrate that and wrote a new wordpress integration file for the next release that seems to work right.
you're awesome :-) Seems like it's working just fine now! I regenerated the members and they show up with the right amount of links on the members list now.
btw, does it matter if the profile editing is done through WSN or WordPress? I figure it should be coherent throughout the whole page.
Users can edit profiles through either system. Since there are profile options in wordpress that aren't in WSN and vice versa, I think it needs to be that way.

That's regular wordpress, not multiuser?

I can't find a problem in 5.0 except for the both-radio-buttons thing, but I'll backport 5.1's integration so they should behave the same.
In 5.1, I see, fixed for 5.1.2.

Doesn't happen in the integrations my sites do, so I'll have to install wordpress to check this out.

WordPress changed their password encoding to something other than md5: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293199
I'm not having any more luck finding out what they changed it to than that person, though.

Okay, they've written their own crazily obfuscated mess of functions and classes and saved variables to hash passwords.
Even including the whole or wordpress into the page doesn't help, just generates wordpress errors.
The only thing I can suggest is that you install this wordpress plugin: [removed outdated advice -- see next post]
