Instead, it makes use of two direct hand-crafted MySQL queries to the database, one to the Wordpress tables and the other to the bbPress ones.</p> <p>Basically, both queries search for all the posts (or comments, in the case of Wordpress) written in the past month, then put these posts into various arrays. The arrays are then sorted so that the items are in a reversed chronological order, and finally the resulting list is displayed on the page with only the latest post/comment from each thread/blogpost/page included.</p> <p>In case it is any help, here is the code that I use -- I wouldn't suggest just copy-pasting it to your site though before reading it through and knowing what you are doing. You may at least need to change the table names. I have added comments to give some idea what is done where.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vertebratesilence.com/bbpress_frontpage_discussions.txt">See the code here</a></p> <p>There most probably is a simpler way to do this, the php code could be streamlined, made more error-resistant, and it could possibly also be done with Wordpress/bbPress tags, or it could be turned into a plugin, if someone has the time and the energy. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration/page/2#post-17711 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:42:49 +0000 deliciousbass 17711@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>vilimaunula - your site akirakurosawa.info is an quite impressive integration of WP and BBPress.

Even before I installed any of your plugins, the user databases transferred between the two but the user roles have never been assigned correctly. Ever since I installed the moldy cookie plugin, I can login on my forums and go to wordpress but when I got from wordpress to bbpress it logs me out. In addition, I can only log onto bbpress now and not wordpress, wordpress says my password is invalid. So I can login through bbpress and go to wordpress fine, but I can't do it vice versa. Any suggestions?</p> <p>EDIT:<br /> Scratch that, it works perfectly now, the problem was that I setup a subdomain forum.chroniccorner.net and it only carried the cookie if I made it chroniccorner.net/bbpress<br /> thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-not-shared-between-09-and-25#post-15214 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:02:00 +0000 intellivision 15214@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Same behavior when I don't check "remember me".
