Title: Another phpBridge Plugin – Doing Research Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Another phpBridge Plugin – Doing Research * Resolved [WebTechGlobal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtechglobal/) * (@webtechglobal) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-phpbridge-plugin-doing-research/) * Hey * I like your plugin. We’re currently working on WP e-Customers plugin and it will offer a bit of everything in a very integrated way. One thing we want to do is monetize and gamify phpBB with the same system as used in WordPress. Our phpBB bridge will be one way for a long time if not forever. WP is to be the HQ and all user management will start at WordPress. * I’m just researching the methods to include phpBB in WordPress among the various plugins. I quickly done this with yours after copying the wpbb_phpBB3() class over to WP e-Customers and it seemed promising until I got an error… * ``` $b = new wpbb_phpBB3(); wpbb_phpBB3::loadConstants(); wpbb_phpBB3::load(); wpbb_phpBB3::phpbbConfig(); global $phpbb_root_path; include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_normalizer.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/dbal.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/db_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysql.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysqli.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/constants.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/auth.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/acm/acm_file.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/cache.php'); // this next line causes an error related to WP no phpBB echo $b->get_wp_user_by_name('Ryan Bayne'); ``` * So obviously these are lines from your plugin but from various files. I’ve quickly copied and pasted. The include_once lines were commented out but I stumbled on them and also found I needed them. Not sure how your including those functions. * All looks good until the last line there and I get “Call to undefined function wp_generate_password() in”. Not sure whats going on there considering the code above is in an active WordPress plugin. * The same issue is explained in another thread [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-is_admin-on-line-110?replies=19). * Just thought I would post it and see if it leads to some tips. I may go with an approach as you have done with your class but I’ll need to strip it down a bit. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Thread Starter [WebTechGlobal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtechglobal/) * (@webtechglobal) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-phpbridge-plugin-doing-research/#post-4085160) * Back again! As I said I’m just looking over approaches and breaking code to get a feel for phpBB being loaded in WordPress. I done this and do not have any errors. However calling a function causes some problems. * ``` function loadphpBBstuff(){ $b = new wpbb_phpBB3(); wpbb_phpBB3::loadConstants(); wpbb_phpBB3::load(); wpbb_phpBB3::phpbbConfig(); global $phpbb_root_path; include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_normalizer.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/dbal.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/db_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysql.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysqli.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/constants.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/auth.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/acm/acm_file.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/cache.php'); } add_action('admin','loadphpBBstuff'); ``` * I’ll defo start from scratch but take a similar approach to yourself though so thanks for the plugin. * Plugin Author [onigoetz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onigoetz/) * (@onigoetz) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-phpbridge-plugin-doing-research/#post-4085314) * Hi * I just updated the plugin, * some of the code you use was commented out because it’s from wp2bb, and the include logic was done in wpbb_phpBB3::load(); * in the current plugin there should be no dead code, so you can freely copy from there. * Thread Starter [WebTechGlobal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtechglobal/) * (@webtechglobal) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-phpbridge-plugin-doing-research/#post-4085315) * Great stuff the update here is appreciated. I’ll take another look and I’ll be sure to mention your help somewhere.
