Thread:Project:Support desk/I am giving up and going to pay a consultant but how do I do this?

here is my website http://www.boingblogs.com/ and if you browse through it you can tell I have three different website software installed for it: I have MediaWiki, WordPress, and SimpleMachinesForum.

I want to interconnect them so that when people sign up for the SMF part of the website, their account already automatically is created for MediaWiki and WordPress parts of the website. When they log in to the SMF portion, they are logged in everywhere else. This way members do not have to create multiple accounts for each software.

I have successfully installed MultiSite for WordPress. But I am not sure how to connect all three software to each other. I have found ... extensions (or whatever they are called) to connect two sites together, but I have not found one to create all three sites together.

For example, there is an extension to connect WordPress to SMF. And there is an extension to connect MediaWiki to SMF. Is it possible to install both extensions to for members to have global access? Or will these extensions conflict each other?

I don't even know the difference between a bridge and a portal.

I was on the MediaWiki help desk earlier and somebody said that if there weren't any possible solutions, I could hire somebody to create one.

I don't know anything about consultants either! How much do they charge? Hundreds of dollars? Thousands?

I would like two things done. 1. Create extension to connect the MediaWiki, MultiSite Wordpress, and SimpleMachinesForum. I would like them connected to SMF. 2. Write very easy to follow installation instructions.

Please let me know if there is no other solution, and how much this would cost so I can save for it. In Correct (talk) 11:00, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
