Integrating BBPress with and existing (x)html site
-
Is it possible to integrate a bbpress forum into an existing site (so i don't have to mess around with making a theme for bbpres) by using php functions? I am not very good (that is an overstatement) at php. I followed a tutorial that let me integrate a wordpress blog into my site, and this is the code it gave me
<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>[i have all my information here, i just don't want to take up too much space]</head>
<body>
<div id="stage">
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?><h3>Categories</h3>
<div id="blog-categories">
<ul>
<?php
list_cats(FALSE, '', 'ID', 'asc', '', TRUE, FALSE, TRUE,
TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, '', FALSE, '', '', '', TRUE);
?>
</ul>
</div>

<h3>Archives</h3>
<ul>
<?php get_archives('monthly', '', 'html', '', '','TRUE'); ?>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="rss-links">
<h3><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>?feed=rss2">RSS feed</a></h3>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><div id="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="unique-entry-id-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="blog-entry">

//display existing language versions of the post
lp_other_langs(' ','', '', '', '');
}?></span>
</div>
<div class="blog-entry-body"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<div class="blog-entry-comments">
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?> |
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)'), "",
__('Sorry, comments are closed for this item.')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2><?php _e('Not Found'); ?></h2>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, but no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<form method="get" class="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div>
<input type="text" size="20" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" class="s" />
<input type="submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e('Search'); ?>" />
</div>
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Previous Page'), __('Next Page »')); ?>
</div>
</body>what would i have to do to get bbpress integrated into my site? I heard somewhere that the function names are very similar to wordpress, so what code would i put in to get the forum categories then the recent posts, etc.?

It is a bit of a complete thing if you don't know CSS really well and the functions for bbPress. You can look at how the default theme is produced, or just take a look at this from So10
wordpress and bbpress theme integration

I am quite proficient at CSS, but i am no good with php. BTW: I didn't really understand that article, it wasn't very good english. I do understand everything up from the cookies stuff, but not below it. Could you please dumb it down a bit? if you want to see what i am trying to do, visit http://blog.tominatedsoftware.com/ and you can see that i have integrated wordpress with the rest of my site at http://tominatedsoftware.com/

the thing is, i am not using a theme, per say. i have got an index.php file and then have a folder with the worpress installation. i have just followed a tutorial, i have not got a proper theme applied to WP. the tutorial i followed it here. It is a tutorial for an awesome mac-only program called RapidWeaver

Depends on what you mean by embed, and how much work you consider cumbersome. I don't think it works too well to put bbPress into an iframe in your website. But other sorts of integration work just fine. There's nothing special (that I know of) that makes WordPress integration any different than the presentation in any other website.
