Will a REPLY in the forum post to the blog?

Also, I'm having an issue with the forum post not submitting the entire post to the blog. Why is that? I'm only getting about 40-60 words.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By using this plugin, wouldn't it be flagged as double posting or duplicate content by search engines?

well it works as a news post plugin. I'm not sure about google. And danque I will look into the 40 - 60 word error.

Skindu: Use ../blog and please make sure the blog and forum map are in the same directory. Some control panels put them in way different directories.

M4GN3T: No there is no option like that yet.

Arny: Yes it posts from 1 forum to 1 category. You will need to set the username for now trough the config by setting a users ID. And no it won't post a avatar.

Thanks!

Can you actually set multiple categories and have specific forums (1 to 1) post to those categories? Or, is it only 1 category and 1 forum?

you could have read that in my main post. for now its 1 on 1

I installed, everything seemed fine, when I tested the first post in the right forum, this is what I got when I clicked to submit post.

Warning: include(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/newthread.php(271) : eval()'d code on line 18

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_insert_post() in /home/getpaida/public_html/medicalbillingcodingandcollections.com/newthread.php(271) : eval()'d code on line 26

when I go back to the forum, the post is there, nothing on the blog...

no issues when posting in other forums, only the forum that is set to work with WP.

ideas?

I think this hack has some very good potential...It would be good if posts can be made via multiple forums and into multiple WP categories...maybe even useful that when a post does arrive into WP then a link is place on exactly where the post come from..sorta like a linkback to the forum.

cooltech does make an interesting point about double content. what is the point of having the same content
on the forum, and the blog also...I would think search engines are more into unique content.

maybe a better
idea would be to import the title only in a clickable link into wp rather then the whole forum post, this way the entire post in the forum is not duplicated into wp, just a title that a user that visits the blog can click on and reach the entire post on the forum via the forum link that is in WP. even the title maybe considered duplicate since it would already be on the forum, rather then the entire duplicated post, sorta like a live site map being posted into WP.

this is an awesome concept, and once again you face a duplicate content issue, if you could get around
that and it was unique content posted, then forums/blogs would explode. no one wants to be flagged as
having duplicate content, serves no real purpose.

The duplicate content only counts for the same content on different sites if I'm right. I'm using this plugin myself to post my news on the main site.

Also the reason the you get that error is because your path isn't set right in options. Just look around earlier post to find the solution.

ok

the forum is on:

www.domain.com

and the blog is on:

www.domain.com/blog

I changed the path too:

../blog/

and now I get a single line error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sanitize_url() in /home/getpaida/public_html/blog/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 1177

anything that says fatal must not be good.

well you should read the install guide for once. That mean you didn't upload the edited files for WP right. Also you shouldn't use a trailing slash
