  1. I know this has been talked about before and some people disagree... but i will ask cause i am not wanting you to work for me.. i just need some guidance...

    I know some php and mysql.. i understand queries , functions.. and all that basic php/mysql implemantation... i also understand relational databases... what i dont understand is how plugin works... hooks, api.... and all that techninality people talk of at wordpress.org

    Having sad that.. this is what I am trying to accomplish in order to integrate both bbpress and wordpress..

    Create a forum category in wordpress, so when i post i select the regular category..(ex: news) and if I want that news to be posted in the forum i also select the "forum" category.

    Then i create a relational table that contains all post ids.. and the forum posts ids... that way i can quickly pull the info in bbpress and/or wordpress..

    What I dont know is how to integrate this in the Write Panel... because i don“t understand it how it works. If someone can help me to understand it.. i could create a query on the write panel to post to the forum whenever i select the "forum" category

    that could also be a plugin.. but i dont kno whow to make plugins... mabe somone can point me out to a tutorial...

    Anyway... bbpress is nice.. and wordpress is awesome. Thanks for working so hard to make this possible.

  3. no.. because as far as i know.. bbsync will post everything on the forum.. i dont want to post everything to the forum.. just what is in some categories.

  4. You could use bbsync as a start then, couldn't you? If that's the only problem with it, that would be easier than reinventing the wheel.

  5. Thanks chrishajer.. I will take a look. bbSync seems good.. i just read too many comments of people complaining about it... but maybe they don't know how to use it :)

    I will give it a try this next couple of weeks and let you know of results.
