Please also visit www.WP-United.com for more information. MOD Description: WP-United is a powerful yet compact modification for phpBB3. The package integrates WordPress, the leading blogging and content management tool, into a phpBB community. Features Use WordPress as a stand-alone portal, or as a fully-integrated blog system The choice is yours! The multitude of clean, well-designed templates for WordPress make it an excellent choice for a site homepage. If you want, you can allow community members to comment on WordPress posts, or give them their own fully-fledged blog. Combine WordPress into the look and feel of your site You can choose to have WordPress appear inside your phpBB header and footer – as users browse posts or articles in WordPress, they will also have access to phpBB function such as log in/out, profile, and private messaging. If you prefer, you can also choose to have phpBB appear inside a WordPress page! Many owners of phpBB sites will have spend a long time customising the look and feel. You won’t have to duplicate this as WordPress will sit inside your existing header and footer, without any modifications! (the integration even switches your document type declaration, ensuring the combination produces valid XHTML markup!) Automatic login integration Users don’t need to register for a separate WordPress account – it is all managed behind the scenes by the integration package. You can choose how user levels are mapped from phpBB to WordPress – for example, you could give phpBB users the ability to create posts, mods the power to edit posts, etc... or you could allow only phpBB admins to create posts, and everyone else to comment... the choice is yours. You can even turn the mapping completely off – allowing WordPress to use its own login system. NEW! Cross posting Using the phpBB3 permissions system, you can earmark forums for "cross-posting" from blogs. Then, when you write a blog post in wordpress, you can choose for a post summary to be cross-posted as a new topic. A post summary, with tag and category information, is generated, and HTML formatting is automatically converted to BBcode. To blog or not to blog? WP-United can provide the ability to give each community member their own blog. Members can choose the title, description, and even the look and feel of their own blogs. WordPress itself doesn’t even natively support this functionality! For members who have blogs, a "Blog" link will show up in their profile and under their posts, which, when clicked, will take visitors directly to their blog. Users can show their phpBB avatar in their blog – and community members commenting on blog posts can have theirs show up too. Of course, any or all of these features may be turned off. Plug n’ Play -- Zero Changes Required! WP-United is a 100% phpBB mod. No changes whatsoever are made to WordPress files – which makes upgrading your WordPress install a breeze! You don’t even need to install a WordPress Plugin! The mod applies all its behavioural changes to WordPress through a unique WP-United Connection. This Connection controls how WordPress behaves while it is integrated into phpBB. The WP-United Connection is very flexible – WordPress can be installed anywhere on the same host relative to phpBB. You can install WordPress inside or outside your phpBB folder – or you can even install phpBB inside your WordPress folder! WP-United is also very modular -- you can disable each feature individually. An uninstaller is also provided so you can cleanly reverse any changes you make. Easy Setup Wizard WP-United comes with an easy-to-follow Setup Wizard that resides in your phpBB Admin Control panel. The Wizard walks you through setting up WordPress, and includes AJAx-enabled tools to auto-detect some of the key options for you. The Wizard establishes the WP-United Connection with your WordPress install with one click. Theme compatibility WP-United will work with almost any WordPress theme, out of the box. Plus much more! |

I'm going to play the motorsports card. What isn't on the site cannot break. I rant (blog) in my build thread all the time. I wouldn't want to read other people doing that. I concede the probability of no one reading my garbage. It sounds like the developers have spent a lot of time integrating the program into phpbb3. That looks like thousands of opportunities for problems digging in for the long haul. I have also been drinking and just got laid. I'm as content as I will ever be, and couldn't possibly be more resistant to change. |

lol, nice last sentence. I don't know .jon. Isn't a forum just one huge blog anyway? We should have designated article writers for the front page though. Reviews of stuff, test drives and what not |

"Summit Racing sells lugnuts at $10 for 20. That's fuckin' awesome, but I hope everyone else keeps paying Rays $150 for nuts that strip. Whoa, Tschoel, calm down. That last sentence didn't reference 'nuts' and 'strip' like your other blogs." 0003, done. |
