I found that Invision Power has a product called IP.Blog which, when run with their IP.Board (forum) that will add a “Blog This” check box when you make a forum post. This so far is the closest “off the shelf” functionality I can find.
So would it make more sense to extend the BBPress (forum) side of the solution to “add” a blog article to WP?
Honestly the only reason I ended up here on the BBPress forums is because I figured that’s what “integration” may have meant, but it doesn’t look like thats the case!
The main reason for the integration is because I don’t want to have 2 “places” on the site where conversations are going on.
The forum will have topics that are not attached to blog articles, so I want a way to get the blog comment conversation to the forums as well, since thats where all of the conversation could be viewed, not just some of it.
Well, this actually isn’t what I’m looking for. It does integrate the two for a shared “login” but that’s not what I need.
I’m hoping to find a forum I can attach as the comment repository.
For example… When I post a WordPress article, I’d like it to ALSO created a Forum Topic. Then, any time someone comments on the blog article, a post in the forum is created from it.. and vice versa (if someone is commenting in the forums, it will be displayed with the other comments in the blog)
Anyone doing anything like this?
Thanks for that info… gonna give it a whirl.
