I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I couldn't find it....
Where can I find a description of how SPF integrates blog comments and forum topics?
Can SPF support allowing users to create their own blogs, and have their blog entry's show up on a common forum as new topics? Then, can a descusion of that topic occur both on the forum or on the blog?
I'm not a WordPress user, but will set it up if this feature is available with your add on.
Thank you for your help.

yes... its the online help in your wp admin under forum...
you can have blog posts auto appear as a topic in the forum (or vice versa). same for comments.

Maybe I am having one of those days. . . But I can't find this option in the 'online help' area.
Please could you be more specific?
I am in the middle of configuring your forum and to integrate WP to SPF would be great. Not live to our visitors yet, but here it is so far http://craggy-island.com/news/.....ge_id=710/

This sounds like WP MU. Is it? If so I am no expert and we will need Radio (ourt moderator and MU guy) to drop by.
But - the setup is builty in. Users who can write blog posts and have the forum permission to create the blog/topic links will see a small from on the write new post page to select to link to the forum and create a new topic. On the forum side, when you create a new topic you get the option to create a new blog post at the same time.

Yellow Swardfish, Thank you !
This may be more of a WP blog issue than a forum issue... Can members (with forum permission) be automatically granted the ability to create their own blog? This would enable them to have they their own area to display their work and develop a sub-community through blog comments, but also have the exposure that a common forum would give there work. So I guess the relevant question here is, will Simple Press forum know which blog (assuming multiple blogs are supported) to link a forum topic back to?
BTW, I've been promoting this concept for years, but don't have the skills to develop it. (I was formally Borland Delphi developer, and don't know PHP). As I was googling "Forum Blog Integration", before finding SP Forum", I see that there are several other people calling for this, one that called it the "Holley Grail" and said he'd gladly pay for it.
Thank you Yellow Swordfish and Mr Papa (and whoever else is responsible) for developing this! [Image Can Not Be Found]

I see here that MU or Lyceum is required for Multiple Blogs without multiple WP installs.

And I am afraid I can not reliably answer on behalf of MU. We will need Radio to jump in.

huh? who? what?
oh...
hi...
WordPress Multi-User blog system and SPF are compatable in the respect that each user may have their own blog, If that is what the site owner (site admin) wants...
However, SPF is blog dependant, meaning it uses one single blog at a time...
If you have SPF installed on a WPMU system, each blog will get it's own forums...Siteadmin may choose to hide SPF from users and only run the blog on the main site...
What you specificly mentioned, post linking accross blogs to the main forum, is not possible (and isn't likely to be an included feature) because of the way the database is segregated between blogs.

Thanks Radio, I'm sorry to hear that, but I respect you being strait up like this!
Does anyone know of any forum/blogging software capable of doing this? Written in any language for any platform? If someone reads this and knows of one, please respond or email me: "simplepress at nobsys dot net"
Thank you,
Bill
