Wordpress Vanilla Integration

Submitted by david on 31 August 2006 - 6:32pm

Mark from Lussumo.com, the creator of the Vanilla forum script, wrote a tutorial on integrating Vanilla with Wordpress.

Vanilla is a different kind of forum. It's what I call post-centric. Most forum scripts are topic-centric, where you're immediatly shown a list of categories. Vanilla just gives you the posts firsts. Great for small community sites.

Read about the integration here.

Article on forum/wordpress integration

I recently wrote an article on integrating forums with WordPress, and review some of the choices, related to my own experiences, including phpbb, simplepress and bbpress.

Gravity...

Michelle didn't develop the core Drupal forum - she's the one behind Drupal's Advanced Forum.

Thanks for letting me know about your post - I've haven't used WordPress for a while so I haven't had much of a reason to keep tabs on what's going on with it.

And I have to say, bbPress is really a bad joke the WordPress people played on their users. Seriously, wordpress.org is the last site that should be using that type of forum package.

Thank you

Thanks for replying, and for the correction. You know the other software you might like to look at is Xenforo, which is very recently unveiled in alpha. It's slick.
What's so sad about bbPress is that, well other than it's leveraging the good wordpress name to ill, the software looks pretty neat; it can fool people into using a system which is really going nowhere. I don't think there are any exporters for it either, imagine how hard it would be to export/import into a new forum.
