Running 2 Copies of BBPress

Hi,

I’ve just installed the latest BuddyPress, and also activated the one-click-install of BBPress – which to my supprise was a complete doddle.

I like the way its integrated into the group section of buddy press… However I also like the idea of running a traditional style forum as well.

So in effect i would like BBPRESS seperate to the integrated one-click-install.

Is this possible? and if so any pointers?

Cheers

Thanks Jeff.

I’ve followed that link and got stuck a bit.

I have the one-click-install working without a problem.

I then uploaded BBPRESS to a new directory off the root (called it /forum/). browsed to that directory and didnt get taken to an install page….

Am I missing something?

Thanks

The missing piece is deep integration. There are a number of threads on these forums about how to do just that. It is not easy.

Thanks for the help Jeff.

The reason I posted is due to not finding anything definitive in the search… all results I have found on “deep integration” are either people saying you need it or are they using it….

however one of the results gave me an idea.

What if I keep bbpress as the group forum. but then use simplepress to handle the more traditional forum?

That way im guessing it would be treated as 2 seperate forums – all i would need to do then is share the user data?
