Integration: Doing it all wrong?
-
I got to thinking, maybe we’re doing it all wrong.
Rather than try to work WordPress into bbPress, why not just include the bb-config.php file inside the wp-config.php file instead.
Viola, from what I can tell, everything works like a charm. CK, your bbCode plug-in breaks some of the WordPress tags/shortcodes though, [caption] etc…
This way, bbpress can be directly referenced inside the entire website, and WordPress can use it’s functions AND the ones from bbPress to micromanage the login situation.
I really need to investigate this more, but I think that I might be on to something with this whole integration issue.
A simple plug-in could be made to include the core WordPress queries inside bbPress for pages, categories, etc… Without having to duplicate load everything inside the header, etc…
Okay, so I just did this like 20 minutes ago and I’m a little giddy about the idea, and I’m sure there’s a myriad of reasons why this won’t work, but I think it’s a neat idea…
