</ul>
<h3>Known issues:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Only intended for initial forum imports, it clears all current forums before importing due to the initial 0.7.3 db format requirement (users/groups etc. are kept intact) </li>
<li>
Depending on forum size, the PHP memory and exec time requirements can be a bit high </li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin is based on a modified phpbb import PHP script for bbpress 0.7.3. It uses its own version of bbpress to convert from the initial 0.7.3 bbpress db format to a buddypress compatible one.</p>


BuddyPress SMF Import

Imports boards and users from SMF 1.1x forums to BuddyPress (forums) / WordPress (users)

Smoerble

<p>This widget displays all members from a SMF forum. Depending on your settings, it displays only the name or name + avatar image, if user didn’t set an avatar in the SMF forum, it displays a generic image you can specify (see the example image below). Support: http://www.longu.de/_smfgm_redirect.php</p>
<p>The plugin adds a seperate configuration menu in the WP admin panel (called “SMF Groups”). You need to add the following data:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add the database connection details to your Simple Machine Forum database.</li>
<li>Enter ID of the SMF member group you want to display in the widget.</li>
<li>Modify the HTML code for the widget.</li>
<li>If you want to display member avatars (from SMF), you NEED to modify the /attachments/.htaccess file.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each field has an example what it should include.</p>
<p>The field “Limit” determines how many mambers are listed in total. Dummy image is optional. Needs to be a http:// URL. If you set it, it uses this image if a user has no image set in his SMF profile.</p>
<p>Important: SMF 2.0 adds a .htaccess file at “/forum/attachments/.htaccess”. This file blocks all requests from different domains. So if you want to use this widget to display a member group from a SMF forum from a different server/domain, you NEED to modify this .htaccess file (the needed steps are explained in the admin section of this widget).</p>
<p>Feedback needed! This is a very early version of the plugin. If you like it, it can be improved a lot, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Links from each avatar to SMF profiles</li>
<li>Links from each avatar to other profiles (like FB)</li>
<li>More options for templating</li>
<li>Tag option to displays one member or all members inside a blog entry/article</li>
<li>Several predefined output settings</li>
<li>Better caching/performance (though it should be suitable for your needs already)</li>
<li>…</li>
</ul>
