Eg., the tweet could be @bbpress [new-topic] Topic Title:- Post Content or @bbpress [topic-1234] Reply Content. Then we could monitor all the tweets sent to @bbpress from forums by setting up a cron job and then do the other things..

when inserting new topic by using xml-rpc it came with escaped quotes in title. I have not checked the body itself but it can have the same bug.

My request and response:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>bb.deletePost</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><array><data>
  <value><string>forumadmin</string></value>
  <value><string>******</string></value>
  <value><struct>
  <member><name>post_id</name><value><int>59</int></value></member>
</struct></value>
</data></array></value></param>
</params></methodCall>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>
        <int>0</int>
      </value>
    </param>
  </params>
</methodResponse>

Here's the code I added to the bbPress_Live class

function delete_post( $post_id )
	{
		global $current_user;
		if ( !$delete = $this->fetch->query( 'bb.deletePost', array( $post_id ), $current_user->user_login ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		$key = md5( 'post_' . $post_id );
		$this->cache_delete( $key );

		return true;
	}

Thanks very much for the links and the advice.

The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.

Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I'm aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):

_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:

But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she's not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she's open to it.

If there are active plugin developers that I've missed, please let cupra know in the comments!

Good luck! And if you're open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you're done, that'd be great! I'd be glad to help test the plugin... :-)

The syncing approach could work as well - I don't have much experience with those plugins, but here's the link to the plugin:

My guess is that your best bet would be to hire a developer to make a custom plugin for ya...

In WordPress, you can schedule posts to publish at a future date.

I would like to be able to publish a new topic at a future date, rather than immediately.

The reason is that we publish a new article each week. First, it gets posted on the private forum of a membership site. A few days later it gets published on our WordPress blog for the general public.

The WordPress post is always put in early and scheduled to be published on the next Wednesday.

Is a 'schedule topic' function available in bbPress or via a plugin?

Or is there another way to do it that I haven't thought of? I've heard that at least at one stage it was possible to sync WordPress posts and forum topics, but I don't know much about that.

Many thanks.

Normally the user is given an auto-generated password, but the function used in the registration function will hash anything anyway.

1) Besides adding the record to the bb_users table, is there anything else I need to do?
2) How are the passwords encrypted?

Thanks!

P.S. - I would love that :P
