Install instructions for WordPress/Phorum bridge

ABOUT

Version 1.3

These plugins make it so that whenever you add or delete a user in WordPress, they are added or deleted in the Phorum
installation.  Additionally, if you are logged into WordPress, you will automatically be logged into Phorum.

This release is an interim release that contains the necessary files to get things running, but does not contain modified
template files to make the transition even easier.  For updates, please refer to the Wordpress-Phorum bridge webpage:

http://www.beckism.net/wordpress-phorum/

Synchronizing current WordPress users is a feature that is currently unavailable, but is targeted for version 1.4.

==================================================================================

INSTALLATION AND USE:

1) Install the mods
	- Install phorum.php into your WordPress plugins folder and activate it via WordPress's Plugin menu.
	- Install the wplogin folder into your Phorum mods folder and activate it via Phorum's Modules menu.

2) Ensure settings are correct
	- In WordPress Admin, navigate to Options->Phorum.  Set the correct path to the Phorum installation.
	- In Phorum Admin, navigate to Modules and click Settings for the WordPress integration module.  Set the correct path
	for your WordPress URL (as set in WordPress Options->General).

3) Modify Phorum template
	You will need to modify a lot of template files to get things to work.
	See the following site for details:
		http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?28,53105

	For information on getting templates running, refer to the blog post that started it all:
		http://www.gloegl.de/blog/archives/integrating-wordpress-and-a-phorum-forum/

An included example modified template will be included in a future release.

That's it!  You should be installed and away.

==================================================================================

TROUBLESHOOTING

You may encounter problems if your site URLs do not match.
	ex. Your WordPress URL in Options->General is listed as http://yoursite.com, but in Phorum you've listed it as
	http://www.yoursite.com.

Make sure that the WordPress URL matches, or Phorum will have trouble reading WordPress's cookies.
