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!

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]

are you using wordpress? can you help me how did you blend bbpress and wordpress theme?

[serpicolugnut]

I’m having a similiar problem. I’m using bbpress integrated with our WordPress site. On the front-page.php page, in the “Latest Discussions” I’m using this bit of code:

<?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?> by <a href="/wedding-chat/profile/<?php topic_author(); ?>" ><?php topic_author(); ?></a>

Which gives me the users name, and a link to their profile page. The problem is that the link is using their username, which if the user has spaces or dashes, poses problems. I need to get the user_nicename or display_name value from that users record. How do I do this in bbPress? I’ve dug around, but I don’t see any information on the topic.

Thanks!

[hydroweb]

Chris, many thanks, that is sure simple.

Actually, I am trying to develop a site based on wordpress and bbpress that is friendly for senior citizens. The wordpress side will have useful information for the audience, that I and others can contribute to, and the bbpress side will have the forum where if a viewer chooses, they can register and enter into a discussion. I have looked at buddypress, but I think it has a lot of features that are not useful, much less at all understood by a senior citizen audience. Social networking is not their thing.

So I guess I was looking for a WP theme where I can display an intro, and the blog and forum clickable areas, and maybe just another couple of items. Anything more will confuse, and be a turn off, for many who don’t know what a browser is.

A huge and fast growing market is the aging population, and those that design interfaces for these users will have great success.

Thanks again,

Roger

[Damien]

Can someone explain how I can pull the total number of bbpress posts made and display them in wordpress theme, and also a harder one to solve, how do I get the total number of posts for a user in bbpress and display that in the users wordpress author.php?

I’ve got intergration happening with shared login/registrations, tables in same DB.

Thanks for any help

[Olaf Lederer]

John, sure there is no guarantee, but the bbpress development over the last 2 years was never so active as for wordpress.

My Forum is ~ 2years old and I updated only once (to 1.02)

and at the end we have to trust Matt

[Michael]

Yeah – not much has been decided upon yet, but, by the looks of things, we may see WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress/ being a fully integrated package, where BuddyPress and bbPress stand as plugins for WordPress.

[Darfuria]

I think first and foremost, bbPress needs to do what ever it’s going to do with WordPress, and move on from that. Whether it remains as a standalone solution and has a solid integration facility, or becomes integrated with WordPress. I don’t really care which, as either way bbPress will be working side-by-side with WordPress, which is all that I require right now.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you’re not the keymaster at the forums, so you won’t have an Admin link and won’t be able to access bb-admin.

Try clearing all your cookies or a totally new browser, and just log in to bbPress, not WordPress, and see if it works.

[starepod]

gerikg,

I saw that post and (foolishly) hoped for a different answer. However, i did follow your advice in the linked post (‘go look in the BuddyPress docs’) and found this answer:

You cannot use the admin panel of bbPress if you use the one/two click BuddyPress installation. If you want a bbPress admin panel and want to install bbPress plugins, you need to install bbPress externally, then use the WordPress integration plugin, then you go to BuddyPress Forum component and click on “I want to use exisiting bbPress forum”

in the BuddyPress forums where i probably should have looked in the first place.
