yes that is normal… it’s one of the known bugs, it doesn’t harm anything but the page header gets set twice. I actually figured out why at some point when I encountered a similar problem on another project but I never got around to fixing it here. At this point I’ve completely forgotten why it happens… heh

..but it’s just an annoyance, nothing to be worried about.

thanks mate, this works for me, i changed “eval ($wp_config[8]); //evaluates line 20 (set $table_prefix)” to eval ($wp_config[19]); //evaluates line 20 (set $table_prefix).

The plugin creates the topic in the configurated board, all good.
But when i post in wordpress, the following error comes (but ir works)

Warning: Cannot modify header information – header allready sent by (output startet at “my root/wp-content/plugins/wp-content/plugins/wp_smf_commenter/wp_smf_commenter.php:83) in pluggabble.php on line 770

is this error normal ?

thanks in advance, great plugin indeed

yeah, since SMF and WP don’t play nice to get the DB values it actually reads the raw php from the config.php file and evaluate the lines blindly.

it’s really horrible practice I know but it’s the only way I could think of to allow them to share the same config data.

It should work with WP 2.6 as the original website for which this plugin was design is running 2.6.1 and still using the plugin…

though they upgrade after I left the site so I don’t know if they ended up changing anything.

In short your problem seems to be that it’s having trouble fetching the database config data.

you edited this line
eval ($wp_config[8]); //evaluates line 20 (set $table_prefix)
everything after the “//” is a comment which means it’s not actual code. the [8] needs to be changed as well if the prefix location moved so change it to
eval ($wp_config[20]);

similarly check to make sure the other lines are correct.

Omg, after hours of searching, i found a plugin that would make my wishs come through, but there is a problem :\

I know, you dont want give support officialy, but i looked through the files by my own, but cant figure out whats the problem ..

First, my Setup is WordPress 2.6 (is it compatible with this version ?)
and SMF 1.1.5.

When i want to post an article, the “Cannot grab db values from wp-config.php” appears, which comes, i read the smf__create_topic.php, when the plugin couldnt read out the wp-config.

So, i edited the line for the prefix,
eval ($wp_config[8]); //evaluates line 20 (set $table_prefix)
becouse in line 20 there is this table_prefix.

But still the error appears.
Can you give me something to go on ?

greetings, oldboy

You are correct, it does work on the assumption that both WP and SMF are sharing the same database.

Hi, I know you’ve stated no support for this plugin but I have found this plugin to be so useful that I hope you can help me with this.

I originally had the plugin installed on wordpress on a shared hosting account and it worked perfectly. Since moving my site to a personal IIS box I’m having issues.

I get this error message when trying to view any wordpress page with the plugin installed:

WordPress database error Table ‘dcp_wrdp1.smf_messages’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT COUNT(*) FROM smf_messages WHERE ID_TOPIC = 1828

The problem seems to be with the database name, the plugin is trying to select SMF data from the wordpress database… is an assumption made that SMF and wordpress are using the same database?
