Plugin Description
WordPress users logon seamlessly via jsConnect and SSO into your Vanilla Forums. Just install jsConnect addon in Vanilla, then copy links and codes from WP to jsConnect and your linked up. Takes about 5 minutes to download and install.
I built this for myself and decided to polish it up for open source release. None of the current methods for linking Vanilla and WordPress work for my server and DNS setup. I will follow the jsConnect project
and incorporate updates as I get notified.
This plugin relies completely on jsConnect and cannot modify any parts of Vanilla what-so-ever. If you need special features
in Vanilla than this plugin will not work for you. However, if your looking for a simpler way to get your wordpress users
logged into a Vanilla forums without hacking up your code files, this is the right plugin for you.
jsConnect Features:
- Authenticate WordPress Users in Vanilla forums similar to Facebook Connect.
- Cross-domain authentication and can be used on different servers.
- Easy to install and setup.
WP Vanilla Connect Features:
- Seamless WordPress integration with autologin via login URL.
- Automatically generates URL’s for jsConnect (Vanilla’s recommended method in place of ProxyConnect).
- Attach Gravatar’s to users instead of the default image if their email address is registered on Gravatar.com. Has an option to serve over SSL and Non-SSL.
- Easy to install and setup, takes less than two minutes.
- Compatible with WordPress Standard and Muti sites.
- Don’t have to hack up WordPress and Vanilla config and template filee, which are bound to break on any future platform updates.
Screenshots
When logged into WordPress but not Vanilla you will see this screen. If you forward them using the jsConnect URL they will instead be auto logged on.
A shot of the back-end.
