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 Anonymous 17711@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>vilimaunula - your site akirakurosawa.info is an quite impressive integration of WP and BBPress. I'm wondering how you managed to integrate your forum and wordpress loops into one, as presented on this page: <a href="http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/." rel="nofollow">http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/.</a> You are showing a single chronological list of recent posts and comments across both your WP blog and BBPress forum. Would you mind sharing how you did this? I'm very new to PHP so would not be able to tweak things easily to make this happen.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration/page/2#post-16452 Sun, 25 May 2008 00:27:10 +0000 AntonioP 16452@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am thouroughly confused on how to do this. Where the heck would I actually start? I don't want to integrate the the databases/cookies/etc., I just want to apply the same look of my header and footer at <a href="http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/" rel="nofollow">www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/</a> with <a href="http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/bbpress..." rel="nofollow">www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/bbpress...</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration/page/2#post-11127 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 05:42:35 +0000 djvibe 11127@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>After talking with the author of the tutorial I am going to create a separate CSS file that I can import into my WP CSS.. I think this is better because then it can be used as a starting point for others using the Themepress BBP Theme.. I think this should be integrated into the next release of Themepress.. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration/page/2#post-11126 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 05:23:35 +0000 djvibe 11126@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>There is a really good tutorial to integrate the WP + BBP seamlessly here.</p> <p><a href="http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/</a></p> <p>It worked great for me and includes a Theme for BBP that integrates all WP functions into BBP and keeps the header and footer in tact... the only problem is that the BBP CSS is totally lost..

The same thing goes for the footers, so you change all instances of "<code>&lt;?php bb_get_footer(); ?&gt;</code>" to "<code>&lt;?php get_footer(); ?&gt;</code>".</p></blockquote> <p>I used a simpler method to achieve the same result. Rather than going through and changing every call to bb_get_header() and bb_get_footer() I simply created a custom header.php and footer.php file.</p> <p>Then in the header I have only:<br /> <code>&lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>In the footer I have only:<br /> <code>&lt;?php get_footer(); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>The benefit of this is you only need 2 custom files, you don't need to search and replace all instances, and if you need to setup global vars for the more advanced WordPress integration techniques you only have to add them once into your custom header.php. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration/page/2#post-8786 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:35:41 +0000 airdrawndagger 8786@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok, solved that as well :D</p> <p>Now, for my next problem.

Just had to go through everything step by step and see what collides and adjust accordingly. No, however, I need help with something else regarding this! I need to add a link to my forum profile edit to my loginanywhere script. It works at the bbpress site but then I switch over to the blog and it says profile_tab_link is an undefined function. Maybe there's even another way to link to the profile edit?
