fris, a wp plugin question
 
Have you seen any plugins around that replace wp comments with a forum? Imagine this workflow. You create a new blog post. A copy or excerpt of the post is created as a new topic on the forum with a link to read the full story on the blog. Instead of using comments on the blog, there's a link to the forum thread that was created to hold the discussion there instead.

interesting way to build sites

nope, but it could be done easily, say if you have a vbulletin setup, and write some code to create a thread on publish post.

look into the the following actions, to hook your create thread function into.

Code:

function create_thread() {
// blah blah do it here
}

add_action('wp_insert_post', 'create_thread');
add_action('new_to_publish' , 'create_thread);
add_action('draft_to_publish' , 'create_thread');
add_action('private_to_publish', 'create_thread');
add_action('xmlrpc_publish_post', 'create_thread');
add_action('publish_phone', 'create_thread');

add_action('publish_post', 'create_thread'); // this one would be the main one to hook into

Look at ifans.com

The front page with the news items are in blog format, and comments on each article are part of a vbullieten install, with an auto link as a topic...

I think thats what you are describing ?

Sober, yes that's what I'm looking for.

what's the advantage of having comments as VB threads rather than WP's own comment section or Disquis/IntenseDebate?

harvey 04-17-2011 12:44 PM
you can use bbPress or SimpleForum to achieve that, they have that option included. Also, you can install phpBB with Wp2BB and you can set the WP comments to be posts in phpBB

Wordpress-vBulletin is a simple bridge between your WordPress and vBulletin installations. When you post a new article within WordPress, you may optionally have this plugin automatically create a thread in your forums.
You may specify the forum to post the thread in, which WordPress categories to do this for and which user to make the threads belong to.
The post content is fully customisable and uses standard vBulletin BBCode, as if you were posting from within your forum.

@Mutt, most popular forum software handles user management much better than WordPress does in my opinion. I already have the forum and users. I want to add the blog to it, so this approach seems like it will boost both of them. I hope.

I'm using Invision software, but they have a great API I can use.
