Hi guys – I want to create a Facebook newsfeed style interface on a site using only bbPress. I’ve run BuddyPress installations before and that’s way more functionality than I need, or want to manage. All I need is the ability for registered users to post something and to have other users comment -> simple forum. The trick is to mash-up everything into one template, topics with their replies, that paginates just like the Facebook newsfeed.

I’m wondering if someone has done this, if it’s even possible or if there are limitations within the code that make that impossible without BuddyPress. My guess is it requires a custom template with a set of custom queries. Any leads or insights into this would be appreciated. Thanks!

It sounds more like a job for the P2 theme rather than bbPress 😉

It is possible when combining buddypress/bbpress and wordpress.

I have (after long hard work) found a workaround/hack to do that, have a look to see if this is what you meant at: http://www.cultivators-forum.com/activity
