Thread: Fishing Website

Fishing Website

Here is my website it's an integration of two wordpress installs and phpbb forum which allows for one login to access all the installations:

Fishing the Coast

The classipress installation can be found here:

fishing the coast gear

Integration between phpbb and wordpress is achieved using wp-united (note that this plugin is currently not overly active and only works up to wordpress 3.05 - I haven't tested in 3.1 yet). wp-united is a phpbb plugin and uses phpbb to handle the wordpress registration and people joining. This can be seen as an issue however it seems fairly robust.

The reason I have used two installations of wordpress is so that one installation can handle the classipress and the other the rest of the website (news blogs etc etc).

Once the wp-united integration was created between the main wordpress installation and phpbb, I installed the second wordpress installation to host classipress. Integration of the second wordpress install to achieve one login was achieved by integrating only the two wordpress installs. So there's no need to integrate the second wordpress install with the phpbb forum as this automatically occurs. Proper integration between the two wordpress installs is very hard to find on the web, however once learnt its fairly basic. I will be doing a full article on how to achieve this setup on my website over the next weeks once I get some free time.

Error when trying to view your site

Hi, when I try to view your site, it shows the error below.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /fishing-gear/ on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

haha probably an ip address banning... we have being banning alot of ip address numbers due to spam joining the forum, especially from overseas - since this is only a local website in New Zealand. what Ip address do you have i'll look at unbanning those numebrs

Should be all good now sorry about that

Ha! No problems for me to access the site then

Looks great, although it would be nice to see the orange bar in the footer of the ClassiPress page to match the homepage..

It would be awesome if you did share information on how you achieved this setup. We'll be releasing the AppThemes knowledge base/codex soon so it would make a great tutorial!

Yeah I know i just added a new theme to the phpbb and frontend wordpress but still playing around with the classipress theme The orange bar at the bottom annoys me aswell.... lol.... Yeah I did do a large write up on it a while back but it didn't go past draft phase so its sitting as an unchecked word document at the moment on my harddrive. I was going to release it on another website i have for customising wordpress and other stuff.... Yeah it shouldn't be a problem once the article is written fully

Nice niche. Site is nicely laid out. A bit too Orangey, but if it works for you then it's all good, lol. Wish you luck!

haha yeah it makes people happy ... actually about to change the name and expand the website to include the rest of the country due to it growth rate and other ppl wanting to join but it doesn't include there area

That's great! Good-Luck to you.

Very cool, do the Facebook log in work on Classipress as well? I mean when they log in to the forum can they swap over to the Classipress? Very cool looking forward to a tutorial about that.
