OK
That mini script appears to work in part.
But. I am astonished that there is no checking in bbPress to see if a topic already exists in a forum before allowing a topic with exactly the same title to be created. Surely this is an important feature and should be handled by bb_new_topic() if only through an optional arg.
Off to generate my own checking routine ?

Hi, I really love the look and simplicity of gajebo.net answer site. Can you send me the theme too, please? I give you a backlink from my site.
My email is jirkakoutny()gmail.com.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks, I already have a way round that one.
In the main site the “create topic” is a simple button on a blank form POSTing to bb-post.php with the other fields as ‘hidden’ inputs.
But still not working.
As may have been gathered the operation needs to be silent or with error handling by the main (pmWiki) site
I would have preferred to go down option 1 route:
essentially stripping out most of bb-post into a new ext_post.php
bb_new_topic()
bb_new_post()
bb_add_topic_tags()
redirect – to site page
however this does not appear to be enough!
I would rather not go down the route of having to deconstruct these routines simply to recode them to store the in relevant tables – especially when re-usability should be possible. Besides that requires an understanding of each table in bbPress – something I have not seen documented anywhere.
looks nice but not so professional
Try this plugin? It lets you select the password during the registration process:

Did you try the plugin? It seems to me the user just puts the URL of the video inside the video shortcode/bbcode, and it embeds the video into their post or reply. Has that not been your experience?
Do you have bbcode or bbcode light installed with your editor now? If so, you can add a video button there to make it even easier.
There was another video plugin for bbPress where you just pasted the URL of the video in to your reply, and it did all the embedding for you. I think that was called bbVideo and for 0.9.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/
That’s a very old plugin and probably will not work with 1.0.2
I know someone who converted from SMF1.1.x to bbPress 1.0 by converting via phpBB3
I did not say/mean you can’t make your own themes GPL licensed and sell them
You said you can’t start with someone elses GPL theme and work from that, which is not correct.
You cannot start with an existing free theme that is GPL and modify it if you are going to sell it.
and
If you are going to sell a theme, start from scratch, not another free theme or you’ll get in trouble eventually.
You’ll need to sync your cookies. Several topics on this – heres one:

Try the ‘cookies’ tag for lots more on the subject…
Thanks. Hope to have a few more released by the end of the week.
Hi Lethality,
Sadly WordPress/bbPress integration isn’t well defined anywhere outside this website – it basically means shared users and login (though for alot of people thats ideal).
If you have the cash to spend on something that already works, I’d definately favour that option.
The idea of extending bbPress into WordPress is a good one, but of course you’d still need to edit WordPress to either post comments to the right forum, or to redirect to the right forum if someone tried to add a comment. I’d be surprised if there was much desire for this on the whole, so going with the existing solution might be your best bet.
Good luck in whatever you decide, and let us know

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!
Very nice. Nice to see you releasing themes again.
I am going to guess it’s this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/easy-video-embed/
From that page, it does not appear there is an admin page. Just use the bbcode [video][/video] with the URL of the video in between.
There is no admin and there doesn’t appear to be any buttons added to the editor. Just follow the instructions. If you do that, and have a problem, post back.

We have more bbPress themes on the way!
Well, one login works really well if you follow the steps. Don’t rely on the old “5 minute install” or whatever its called these days.
And email notifications has been working as a plugin for about 2 years, and recently Matt decided that it was key to roll it into the core, so you can actually get it working out of the box with teh latest trunk version (which is actually good/stable and an upgrade on bbPress1.0.2).
Can you provide a link to the “Easy Video Embed” plugin here on this website, and we might be able to shed some light?If you downloaded it from another website, i’m afraid we’ll not be able to help unless the author of it frequents this forum regularly (fyi – unlikely)
So you know, if the plugin was a bbpress0.9 plugin, your chances of getting an admin panel are about 1/100. Your chances of it getting an admin panel if you’re using bbpress1.0.2 are very close to non-existant.
Basically, if you could also expand on this a little that’d be ace:
I know you need a code from the video site
What sort of code, and from what video site?
Yeah I am not too sure myself… I am not a big fan of its limited feature set (I hate not being able to receive email notifications of replies to my posts)… really the only reason why I was considering it is because I would like to have ONE login for all my things on my site…
OK.
Maybe you can help with this. I just installed the “Easy Video Embed” into my forum (bbpress 1.0.2 – Crystal Theme). The plugin is activated and the list shows in the admin panel.
How do I access the application from the admin panel to post a video? I looked at posting but there is no video posting in the area…just photo upload links.
I know you need a code from the video site; but there is no place to post it.

bbPress and WordPress users can be sync’d without too much hassle.
Sadly I don’t know the answers to the SMF question, but Paul Hawke has been working on an import to bbPress feature, i think it’s in this thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-data-from-system-xy
That would certainly be my first port of call.
As much as I like bbPress, I’d also strongly advise thinking long and hard before moving to it. It’s feature list is limited at best, and right now Automattic can’t even get the theme fo this website right. AS long as it meets your criteria then Awesome, but definately look into this first

I was considering moving from SMF to bbPress and I was wondering if users can be imported from SMF to bbPress…
Also is there any way to move content?
And will bbPress users be synced with WP users?
Another fun bug:
The Homepage lists the most recent topics, but for some reason has decided to work out it’s own pagination. It thinks this thread has 15 pages as an example. The issue is that the links to pages 4 to 15 actually work, but just don’t show any posts so it looks like its an error…
