Hello,
I have some pre sales questions regarding your bridge add-on. Some background: We have a very large forum 150k+ members and apps 6.5 million replies that is being relaunched. We recently migrated from ExpressionEngine x vBulletin to use WordPress x Xenforo. Unfortunately our member database is a bit of a mess as we had a very poorly implemented bridge. We've successfully migrated the data and ran into issues with xFrocks bridge in that in some cases a user already exists in both databases, but have mismatched passwords so the association cannot be made. After struggling for weeks to resolve, seems like I can't get any help on it and decided to simplify the situation by going with a single point authentication instead of the two point as is the case with the other bridge.
This being said, I was hoping to get a couple answers and hopefully hiring someone that can assist.
Questions:
1. Assume the WP login widget can be modified or somehow tweaked so we can add a login form to all our WordPress pages? (We have a completely custom theme).
2. Can you please explain the feature that copies the member data to WordPress a bit? Hoping to have that feature just for some future development plans that might rely on member data being in WordPress.
3. We also have a fairly complex set of roles for our news publishing staff on the WordPress side. Can you please explain a bit how this is handled with your plugin.
4. Wondering if you can point me to someone that might be able to assist with the implementation, including the customizations to our theme to allow for the login (assuming that question number 1 is true).
Thank you,
Allen
P.S. In terms of looking for sites / forums for testing, not sure you'll find a more convoluted setup than ours. So long as it al works, I'd be more than happy to pass along any feedback along the way if we can just get our bridge up and working.
