That works! Thank you so much, you are completely my hero.

alast: Haven't had a chance to look at encoding, no. I will do what I can but I don't understand the problem very well.

Janine pulls the title and content directly from the wp_posts table.

But now that I think about it, Janine doesn't open a new DB connection. It just uses the existing Vanilla DB connection. If Vanilla and WP use different encodings for the DB connection, maybe this could be the problem? I dunno...

Still not seeing it. It works for me.

ok. it looks like it's on my side somewhere. have to go through MaxB routine again... keep you posted :)

Few problems with Janine.

I will be transferring content from the old site to the WP blog. So, I'm setting up lots of files, but assigning them to the appropriate authors. When a discussion is created, shouldn't it create the discussion using the name of either the person who clicked the discussion link to start the thread, OR the name of the author? Instead, it's listing ME as the creator on all of them.

Also, the link from the discussion back to the article has gone bad again.

Some of the links are still bad, I think it's because I have tried to change the link structure and some links were made with pretty links--but the blog links are back to default.

Logging into one side doesn't log me into the other. Got a couple of things to try on that issue.

Tried them, don't know where to go from here.

isn't there a setting in the config file for author - it's switchable, 0 or 1, depending on whether you want the admin or the blog post creator to make the forum post.

I want to make my forum's URL friendly, but doing so will break the exitsting links from the blog to the forum. How do I change the URL the WP discussion link points to?

Haven't seen squirrel since April. Roadkill? :(

Looking to expand the features of this add on. Noticed that we're currently using a very simple method for detecting XML-RPC requests. I wanted to know if anyone had any experience porting this over to a more robust XML-RPC Client/Server... say PEAR XML_RPC?

I have a suggestion squirrel, why not call the extension something like "WP Affinity"? Then you can also make a "Drupal Affinity" and we have at least *some* indication what the extension does ;)

Just finished my first test using XML RPC to create new categories... Had to modify Category->GetPropertiesFromDataSet to include CategoryRoleBlock, otherwise it's pretty clean (uses PEAR XML_RPC). Once I get it into line with the Add-Ons standard I'll post it.

yep. doesnt work with wp 2.3...

Understood. It's in my queue.

Great plugin squirrel!

For the users who need to get it working on WP2.3 you have to change this code:

File: Janine.Control.WordPress21.php

From This:

if (!array_key_exists('JanineBlogPost2Cat', $Context->DatabaseTables)) {
$Context->DatabaseTables['JanineBlogPost2Cat'] = 'post2cat';
$Context->DatabaseColumns['JanineBlogPost2Cat'] = array(
'BlogPostID' => 'post_id',
'BlogPostCategoryID' => 'category_id',
);


To This:

if (!array_key_exists('JanineBlogPost2Cat', $Context->DatabaseTables)) {
$Context->DatabaseTables['JanineBlogPost2Cat'] = 'terms';
$Context->DatabaseColumns['JanineBlogPost2Cat'] = array(
'BlogPostID' => 'term_id',
'BlogPostCategoryID' => 'name',
);


It worked for me, I suggest you make a backup of everything before implementing this quick fix. I look forward to future releases!

If you want to do that you can open /conf/settings.php and change the following:

$Configuration['JanineControlType'] = 'WordPress21';

To This:
$Configuration['JanineControlType'] = 'WordPress23';

Then make a copy of Janine.Control.WordPress21.php and rename it to Janine.Control.WordPress23.php

You will also have to change the following in Janine.Control.WordPress23.php:

From This:

class JanineWordPress21 extends JanineControl {

function JanineWordPress21(&$Context, $PingMethod) {
$this->Name = 'JanineWordPress21';


To This:

class JanineWordPress23 extends JanineControl {

function JanineWordPress23(&$Context, $PingMethod) {
$this->Name = 'JanineWordPress23';


Make sure you include the changes from my above post, and that should do it for you!

That should take care of it. I have tested it on my install and it works fine.

Squirrel, where's Affinity?

Actually it only creates a forum post when the "comments" link is visited. So basically yes, because if no link is visible to click then no forum post happens.

hey squirrel and friends :)

does janine work with WP 2.6?
