you are trying to have both the approaches altogether. either you can display forum inside your WordPress by deep integration or just select a theme which matches to your WordPress on a regular standalone install.

BuddyPress forums is what you will have with deep integration theme matching in terms of look

I have a WP project with a well-established vBulletin forum which I would, in a perfect world, pull into bbPress/BuddyPress to tightly integrate with WP. I am not asking for a vBulletin importer for bbPress 1.2. I know that is a beast that is probably not worth slaying at the moment for Automattic.

With this frame of reference, I have a few questions re: bbPress 1.2 (the plugin). I have done some searching on these forums and have not found answers yet. If they exist, please point me to them.

1. I assume 1.2 will cleanly upgrade from previous versions of bbPress. However, reading some of @JJJ’s posts, it looks like 1.2 may function more like a CPT plugin where everything is stored in the posts table. Is this the case? If so, will a clean migration from prior versions be possible?
2. Assuming this clean upgrades are part of 1.2, would it be safe to say that following (and improving upon) some of the more cumbersome vBulletin -> bbPress migration paths (link below) would still work?

3. Much has been made about how the bbPress used in BuddyPress is not really inline with the core bbPress code. Given it’s apparent design direction, is it safe to say that the 1.2 and the BuddyPress forums will effectively merge and become one code base, whether or not BuddyPress is active? If not, how will they differ?
4. Are there any other glaring roadblocks to vBulletin migration that I am simply not seeing?

I am considering writing (or more likely funding the development of) a vBulletin importer script for bbPress 1.2. If I decide to go that route, I plan to give the importer back to the community. So, the goal of these questions is to help me gauge the feasibility and scope of such a project.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Right for the users who use it and best to give a good performing core for everyone’s need. Like if you don’t require something and its not in the core you gain some speed. If you need them, grab a plugin.

Although its all not that easy with bbPress right now

I reposted this as I was apparently marked as SPAM?

We’re running into issues where new posts that should appear on a new page of a specific thread are not showing up right away. It’s kind of hard to explain but I’ll try…

So a topic has say, 90 posts, where we’re displaying 45 posts / page. When post #91 gets posted, the pagination does not go from << Prev 1 2 Next >> to << Prev 1 2 3 Next >> but stays at only showing << Prev 1 2 Next >>

If you manually change the URL from /bbpress/topic/thread-name/page/2 to /bbpress/topic/thread-name/page/3 you can see the posts, but it takes awhile for that number 3 link to show up (haven’t figured out how / when it shows up, may just be after a certain amount of time or maybe after a certain amount of posts).

I know this is kind of advanced but if anyone has any ideas they’d be GREATLY appreciated.

Such is life on the edge.

I’m aware of the login issue and will fix in the next day or two.

Thanks for keeping up with the development though. It’s great to have eyes on it.

Just made a small plugin for it.

You can download it on http://eris.nu/wordpress/bbpress.

Please note that only if the database of your blog is not the same as the forum you need the data about the database information. The prefix, url are always required.

Please try out for testing later on i will add some improvements so you can load directly data from the config of bbpress instead enter it in a form.

Later on I will add it to the WP plugin database.

Hi All,

I’m new to using BBpress (first post)

I have been reading up on the difference of simple and deep integration and have become a little confused over the subject.

I want to have a simple integration so that users logins will be sync’d between WP + bbpress possibly with a single login area via WP – trying to create a closed / private environment.

If you install bbpress in a sub folder of WordPress is this effectively deep integration?

And is it possible to create a sync’d log-in (ie if you log in/out of WP it also logs you in/out of BBpress) using simple integration

sorry if it sounds a stupid question but I just want to understand where best to have the bbpress install running from to prevent slow load times due to excessive overheads on the server.

Not fussed about themes as I can do all the css and design for these and make them look the same.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I use the Hidden Forums plugin and hide everything. I use the Members Online plugin to display users who are currently online. I followed ck’s instructions to only show that list to registered members.

Theme looks nice and bold.

Will you release it for public? I would like to improve it and use it. Will save me a lot of time.
