I’m trying to understand if/how it is possible to call BuddyPress functions outside the forum (in a regular WP page). The Codex isn’t of much help…

I am trying to create a latest topics list and a forums list on regular WP pages (home.php, index.php), etc.

Thanks for the help !

After some query, function and class debugging, I now realize that bbpress runs on post_types and a heavily modified wp_query calls and a bunch of (largely undocumented) functions and classes. Most of the magic happens in a Loop that is different depending on what you want to show.

Looking at the widgets calls has been tremendously helpful in successfully achieving what I wanted to do.

I managed to find a function/class list with comments at http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress-plugin/ that was also very helpful.

I leave this for reference to others, hope it can help someone else.
