bbs/forum Wordpress plugin
 

My searches have come up with mostly outdated, lame plugins. What's the new hotness for adding a bulletin board/forum to wordpress?

Thanks.

i'm liking simple press

simple press FTW!

I guess I'll give it a shot. I found that one but the page date was 2006. I thought there must be something newer, but if this works, then it works. Thanks guys.

I'm running it under 2.7.1 without any difficulty, and the theming is fairly customizable with a little CSS work. I'm sure someone with some good CSS/WP skrillz could bust out a pretty sexy looking forum with simplepress.

We're about to find out. :winkwink:

I'll post it up here when I get it together.

i'm interested in seeing what you can do. my integration wasn't exactly what i wanted, though it still flows nicely enough with my theme to work it with the public.

could we have a peak at that site ..

simple press but I don't like it that much, better run vbulletin or simple machines on a subdirectory and link to it from your blog/main page

short answer: no.

long answer: if you really must see it run under 2.7.1 i can set it up elsewhere in a few minutes...

Is there a way to effectively share the user database between WP and VB? I'd much rather use VB for my forums, but I like the fact that you can share the users between your blog and forum so easily with simplepress...

Gogole this (since I can;t posts links to another forum), and you'll find a mod:

^^ I've never used it though

cheers, will have to check it out.

While looking over that plugin, I came a across a list of sites supposedly using the plugin and came across one that had apparently switched over to SimplePress. Just glancing at the wp-admin page I'd say it's a good 2.7.x install, probably up to date with 2.7.1...

looks pretty slick to me... http://www.daggersden.net/forum/gene...a-carte-cable/ i'd like to figure out how to display only the forum column and exclude the menu column, but at the moment i haven't had a chance to play around with conditional includes oe modifying the template things. That's venturing into some new territory with wordpress for me...

I have just installed Simple Press Forum on WPMU which has Buddypress installed and it works a treat for me
