I am starting a new site which I am wanting to use this with the wordpress. I would like to have it set up very simular to what you have here. How do I do that?

Do I first get the wordpress as the main part of the site and than use this for the forums? and how do I get them to interrogated with each other

[nickaster]

This looks hugely useful…. but two ideas to make it more useful:

1) If it’s based on RSS, you could conceivably pull other blogs in.

2) It would be cool to have a switch where an admin could choose to pull posts in or not, based on categories or something like that

3) Some way to let people know that a discussion has been spawned in the forum indicated on the original post…

Hi guys,

Got a bit of a problem. Installed bbpress integrated it into wordpress got all the bits right so it uses my wordpress database and wordpress logins etc and thats all fine and dandy but none of my pages load.

I can only get to my bb-admin pages but only by going to the direct section say “appearance” I get a page 404 error when I go to http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/ or http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/bb-admin/

I havent actually done anything but follow the bb press install instructions so wondered why its not working.

Anyone able to help, Really need to get it sorted asap as this is quite a big part of our business.

Regards,

Chris

… something very similar to the way wordpress works now.

Does such a function/plugin exist for bbpress?

If so, I can’t find it. If you know of one, please point it out to me.

[agl666]

but duplicates, owing some content! for example, if ceronimo of WPMU (ID# 23) have comments in WPMU and ceronimo of bbPress (ID# 333) have topics in bbPress, what to do then?

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Yes, remove the duplicates.

[bingsterloot]

ah ok i see paul…..that actually sounds VERY cool. But would you be able to pull the whole post or how does it work.

I am looking forward to see what you come up with.

[paulhawke]

@bingsterloot – you are quite correct, no need to reinvent the wheel. Your plugin looks good! For someone synchronizing with their own WordPress, your plugin looks like the perfect solution.

That said, the “Rss Poster Bot” is still something I will pursue as it will allow me to draw on news/posts from a variety of other sources so long as I have a feed. Think of it this way:

1. a post is made to your favourite news web site
2. the “Rss Poster Bot” pulls the feed and sees a new item
3. the bot now makes a post to your bbPress forum, starting a topic
4. local users are able discuss that news item

I’ll give it a shot in my spare time and see how it turns out.

[bingsterloot]

No need to re invent the wheel here guys. Just DL http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/ and you are all set.

Hey Paul thanks for the reply. That’s exciting news, and I think it would be a very useful feature for bbPress

As long as the individual posts from wp show up as properly formatted threads, I don’t think theres much more that would be required. Anndd I actually have a small budget set aside for this, so if you shoot me an email me maybe we can work something out and get this done? My email is simon.raize[at]gmail.com

Cheers bro!

[paulhawke]

I am planning to create a plugin to do this – I was going to call it my “RSS Posting bot” – with options to post new items to either a single thread or start a new thread for each item, and config to say who (which bbPress user) the bot should post as. Other than general design, however, I’ve not really got too far. Should I take it that you would like such a plugin created? If so, any other features you’d want?

[Michael]

You’ve done an awesome job with this!

This is what I LOVE about bbPress – you can do almost anything you like with it. I almost confused your forum for phpBB. Very nice

[Raize]

Is there any way to pull new posts from wordpress blog and have them show up in bbPress as a thread with full text? Using RSS would be the best way to do this of course, but will it take some sort of hack or plugin?

I took a look at this plugin but it doesn’t have this functionality: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/

AMAZING WORK!

Hallo everybody,

It’s still in development but I am ready with the layout and it works very well.

http://www.jeansbox.nl/forum/

The site has been made without deep integration. I have just used the tutorial of _CK_

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration

What do you think about it?

[agl666]

HSeatSleeper

it’s a great idea but you miss something: there are a lot of duplicate IDs and users

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

agl666 I’m no whiz but i would export both databases and merge them into an sql file, then dump back into your wpmu install. This will be a tricky operation, but unless someone else has a better idea I see no other way to do it.

[agl666]

Hi!

I have a forum running on bbPress and a WordPress MU, which I installed later. Both have users, some of them is present in both bases.

So, we have two bases with some duplicate IDs and users. How can I integrate bbPress users into a WPMU database with less price?

Thanks

Read this post of mine Show bbPress content inside WordPress

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Two options :-

1. Load WordPress header and footer with deep integration (not recommended)

2. Design the same theme for bbPress (way to go)

[ipunkbali]

So I have already created bbpress forum called http://www.justinbieberzone.com/forums and the blog is http://www.justinbieberzone.com

What next step?

I dont worry about cookie and those stuff, I just want the forum look like the blog.

Now How do i combine the two? I want the forum embedded inside the wordpress. I don’t like it looks like completely different forum.

Thanks.

Hi I’m trying to integrate bbpress a little more with my wordpress theme and I need some help to see if some things are possible.

First I would like to display the total amount of posts made in my bbpress forums on my wordpress mainpage, not sure how I can call that info though. example “there are a total of 125 posts on the forums”.

Also, is it possible to have the amount of posts a user has made in bbpress on their author.php in wordpress, example: “user had made 50 posts on the forums”.

Thanks for your time.

[Alex and Anthony]

i am using wordpress , and i custom made both the themes for wordpress and bbpress they are seperated

[ipunkbali]

Thanks, it works!

Now, how do I blend my wordpress site with the default bbpress theme?

[ipunkbali]
