You only had to allow all members to post in the wp blog, make a custom category for them and a custom template for that category. There would be no front-page though. </p> <p>BTW, _ck_, could you please tell us how did you add pagination to front-page latest posts in your bbpress showcase? :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/constructive-criticism-bbpresss-kryptonite#post-22811 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:59:29 +0000 _ck_ 22811@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <blockquote><p> Another thing that I believe it is that sooner or later bbpress will have a wp plugin version or that it will be a plugin bridge to put it inside of wordpress.</p> </blockquote> <p>This will never happen because it's physically impossible as the code is designed. Also the deep integration would use so many resources that a busy forum will get you kicked off of most shared hosts. bbPress 1.0 + WordPress 2.7 running at the same time with deep integration and several plugins is over 1 megabyte of code PER INSTANCE (per user visiting, per page load). </p> <p>This is why I always say don't deeply integrate.</p> <p>However when WordPress eventually switches to the backpress core (think version 3.5 perhaps?) it will be easier to have them deeply integrated without so much excessive resource use. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/constructive-criticism-bbpresss-kryptonite#post-22794 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:00:40 +0000 ganzua 22794@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I understand famous point of view because I was there too.

I don't need it. If you do need it, install a plugin. Or, if you disagree with the philosophy, you're free to install other forum software that more closely aligns with your needs. </p> <p>Now, if we want to talk about the lack of documentation, telling you how to do all these things with bbPress, well, that's a whole different story. I've heard before that there probably won't be much documentation before version 1 is released. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/constructive-criticism-bbpresss-kryptonite#post-22789 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:55:01 +0000 trex33 22789@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>famous, I agree with you. The vast majority of users have no idea how to use RSS. Email notification is absolutely essential. Do we really expect users to check a forum on daily basis for responses?
