I tried loading the wordpress functions as suggested in previous posts and could not get it to work. Same problem with SQL queries (though I'm sure I'm doing something wrong). I went back and tried the rss2html function and got it to work - so I think I'll be able to tailor it enough to do what I need.</p> <p>This would be a great plugin, for those who are able to do it:) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17150 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:41:56 +0000 chrishajer 17150@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>fiat, to do what you're talking about, you can load WordPress inside bbPress, to have access to WordPress functions inside bbPress. It's not recommended, but here it is:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-header-integration#post-17084" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-header-integration#post-17084</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17149 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:16:17 +0000 Detective 17149@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why don't you just make a sql query ? If you have both WP &#38; BB in the same database it should be easy. Something like:</p> <pre><code>$blog_posts = $bbdb-&gt;get_results(&quot;SELECT FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = &#39;publish&#39; ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 10&quot;); echo &#39;&lt;ul&gt;&#39;; foreach ($blog_posts as $post) printf(&#39;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/?p=%i&quot;&gt;%s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#39;, $post-&gt;post_ID, $post-&gt;post_title); echo &#39;&lt;/ul&gt;&#39;; unset($blog_posts);</code></pre> <p>Of course this has errors, i made it without looking ad the db fields. Also, is it get_results or get_rows? I forgot :p </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17147 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:32:38 +0000 Anonymous 17147@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I tried your suggestion and could not get it to work, and not savvy enough to create my own plugin from scratch. It would seem like all I have to do is get the page to recognize and load all the forum and blog includes, then just call up my posts like I have on my blog homepage. I just couldn't get this to go...but maybe I'm on the wrong train of thought or missing something. This to me would be true "integration". </p> <p>Any other ideas or suggestions out there? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17127 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:31:51 +0000 chrishajer 17127@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't know of a plugin yet that will take an RSS feed and display it in bbPress. </p> <p>How about creating a plugin out of something like RSS2HTML and using that in bbPress?<br /> <a href="http://www.rss2html.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rss2html.com/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17125 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:25:29 +0000 Anonymous 17125@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for the quick reply. I saw bbSync previously, and it is not what I need because I don't want my blog posts to turn into forum topics. I simply want to display my blog posts on the forum homepage. There are actually not going to be any (or rarely any) commenting on our blog posts - it's for information only. But I want a community homepage that combines the latest blog posts and forum main themes (or categories - not topics as I stated above).</p> <p>Is there code I can insert to grab the blog posts? Or is there a way to grab and read the blogs RSS feed? If so, how? Thanks again in advance. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17122 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:14:44 +0000 chrishajer 17122@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think you want bbSync, at least to start:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-wp-blog-posts-on-bbpress-forum#post-17117 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:39:00 +0000 Anonymous 17117@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have the blog and forum installed (example.com/blog and example.com/forum) using the same database. I'm in the process of creating a Community homepage similar to the feel of the Wordpress support page at <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/support/</a> - with the exception that I want my blog posts on the left above the search section. I simply want the forum homepage to read and display the blog posts - with links back to the blog. </p> <p>How do I get this to happen? I've searched everywhere and nothing on this. Ideally, I want to work from the forum, but if it's easier, how can I get my blog to read my forum topics? (the Latest Discussion plugin works, but I don't want latest discussions...I want forum topics.) Any help is greatly appreciated. </p>
