1. You can integrate FCK Editor or TinyMCE if you are looking for a wysiwyg editor.

1a. To allow all that type of content, you’re going to need a plugin. Check out this thread:

2. Does the regular sitemap plugin NOT work with 0.8.3? I never tried it. http://boakes.org/download/bbpress_sitemap.txt

3. To show hot tags, you are going to need to edit the template files for each page, then insert this tag where you want it:

<p class="frontpageheatmap"><?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?></p>

 

Depending on the layout of each of your pages, you might need to create a new div to insert that tag heat map into, or maybe there is room inside an existing div.

The things you are asking for are going to require a substantial amount of work on your part. It can all be done (probably) but it’s not going to be super quick.

Good luck.
