Hate to answer my own question, but in case anyone wants to try this here is some sample code to start with –
<html>
<body>
This is it.
<?php
// include WordPress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-load.php');
// Handle INSERT if data is Posted
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == "bbp-new-topic") {
$new_topic = array(
'post_parent' => $_POST['bbp_forum_id'], // forum ID
'post_content' => $_POST['bbp_topic_content'],
'post_title' => $_POST['bbp_topic_title']
);
$topic_meta = array(
'forum_id' => $new_topic['post_parent']
);
$topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_topic, $topic_meta);
echo('<br>Topic ID = '.$topic_id . '<br>');
} // end INSERT
// Use Shortcode to show New Topic Form.
// Could also create your own form.
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-form]');
?>
Thats it.
</body></html>
