# WordPress Post and phpBB Topic

 * Hello, I opened a topic like [this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifications-86/)
   on Jatpack before. What I’m talking about [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifications-86/)
   is maybe too complex and difficult to do with WordPress. But for phpBB it’s easy.
   Because that is one of its main functions.
 * I see it on some sites in my hometown, the same thing exists on the global Macrorowsn
   site (they are not phpbb), Articles and phbb topics are together. Same article
   on phpBB. Comments on posts are replies to the topic on phpBB. They even use 
   the reply feature by liking and quoting on the forums.
 * If we can optimize WordPress content with phpBB (only WordPress articles are 
   optimized in phpBB, not phpBB in WordPress), we can both use the notifications
   feature I mentioned at the beginning very well, and a great participation of 
   WordPress content from the forum will.
 * I thought about this a little. How it should be. The best way is as follows: 
   The categories of the posts should be matched with the relevant forum in phpBB
   in a predetermined way. Thus, if an article is published in a category, it creates
   a topic that starts with a post containing the same article directly in the relevant
   forum. Everything is in order. Etc.
 * What do you say?

 * Hi!
    Duplicated content into same site is not good for seo, said that, there 
   are more ways to make and keep discussions alive between phpBB and wp and in 
   some way linked. May adding the iframe of the phpBB into a specific wordpress
   discussion: This is a rude example: [https://www.axew3.com/w3/2022/02/the-awesome-iframe-template-integration-using-shortcode/](https://www.axew3.com/w3/2022/02/the-awesome-iframe-template-integration-using-shortcode/)
 * While about notifications: phpBB notifications in WordPress are easy to achieve
   because info about notifications are all contained into a single phpBB db table.
   It seem to be a good feature adding this displayed into worpdress in some other
   way.
 * Notifications data are all available already because the verify_credentials function/
   method already query the phpBB db about this where:
    [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/trunk/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php#L256](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/trunk/class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php#L256)
 * **data are ready, but still not used to be displayed into the plugin code.**
   
   So it is possible to add this feature into next 2.6.6. How it should be presented?
   Like phpBB do with notifications but how? A shortcode?
 * Same goes for phpBB, that can do the same if some code is added into the phpBB
   extension, which has been rewrite to setup any configuration (included wp db 
   connections values) directly into the admin ACP extensions panel. So there is
   no config.php file to edit but just more comfortable admin panel into ACP. Still
   not released, but quite ready. It will be released with plugin 2.6.6, just before
   or just after. It can run also as standalone like the wp plugin.
 * P.s about apps that should run with this plugin, a patch until 2.6.6 has been
   indicated here:

 * mhh… the logic you say, could be good may adding in phpBB only the first post
   of WP when posted into wordpress (creating the same topic into phpBB), but then
   no replies allowed in WP, but only in phpBB …
 * **OR, also interesting could be:**
    when a topic created in WP, a link to the
   topic, with the same title as in WP, will be created into related phpBB forum(
   ex. like phpBB do when you move a topic and you leave the link/redirect to the
   topic into the forum)
 * THIS could be a good feature. Let talk about more possibilities when you want!

 * You are right about SEO. MacRumors didn’t care about having the same content 
   on the forum and the home page.

 * But the other site I mentioned, DonanımHaber, seems to have hidden the same content
   in the forum from search engines.

 * We can do this. This is quite reasonable. Only ads robots like Adsense are allowed.
 * I don’t think it’s nice to iframe phpBB topics in WordPress. At least for what
   we’re talking about here. I think there may be some drawbacks to making iframes
   in phpBB.
 * Notifications definitely work fine in phpBB. But WordPress content is deprived
   of this. They have to install the WordPress application on their phones and register
   with WordPress. So I think integrating WordPress content in phpBB will include
   the manifests of WordPress content in phpBB.
 * Here is also important: WordPress comments need to be set. As a result, every
   comment to be made will be a post written in the topic by phpBB. As I said “reply”
   in WordPress can be reply with quote in phpBB. (or vice versa). I customized 
   the thank you plugin in phpBB and turned it into a favorite. It may be possible
   to integrate this as well. Moreover, features such as follow page on phpBB can
   be integrated. In other words, it will not only be the same article, but also
   the comments or answers will be integrated.
 * I don’t know, maybe the comments are too complicated. However, it may not be 
   correct to turn off comments in WordPress.
 * I think the best thing is to create topics in different forums according to the
   category. So everything is in place in the phpBB part.
 * I am using OneSignal in WordPress. I plan to get Senky’s push notifications extension
   soon if possible. (Waiting for phpbb4 would be torture.) This will make things
   more fun.

 * Ok received.
 * The phpBB extension code can be implemented to work like you say.
    And one i 
   prepared and that still has not been released, because it require to be terminated
   under some aspect to work fine about any aspect, and it is very fast and effective:
 * [https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2626051](https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2626051)
 * that can be used to display replies only to certain groups.
    It will be asap 
   published, and full featured to get the nice result.
 * Notifications in WordPress are also an easy feature to add i suppose.
    And it
   should not be so hard to achieve.
 * In wordpress for wordpress easy, phpBB notifications in wordpress easy, because
   data as said are already available.
    Wp notifications in phpBB require to build
   the logic, that anyway can be also quite easily and efficiently added.
 * As finished a main update into a site i follow in these days, i will be over 
   to fix more into plugin core, so to make it more and more compatible with any
   other plugin, plus additions we just discussed (wp posts in phpBB and even replies),
   notifications and fixes all over

 * I understand. but shouldn’t the first post or even that topic be blocked from
   bots completely?
 *  In the example I posted, the topics appear in the same forum. but in different
   forums. Creating topics in one forum would be better for permissions as they 
   can’t be in two different places on phpBB.
 * Though [https://i.hizliresim.com/bkd5u10.jpeg](https://i.hizliresim.com/bkd5u10.jpeg)
 * This is the healthiest. Topics are created in a single forum. Because blocking
   bots is simpler. Your extension (Display Only First Post) apparently works great,
   but its purpose is different.

 * well, phpBB natively can be configured to block the access to all, included bots,
   and not only the first post into a topic, these are options already available
   in phpBB.
 * > first post or even that topic be blocked from bots completely?
 * In theory yes, anyway leaving as duplicated only the first post, that may contain
   an ADv and also an advice that to see all posts you must join allowed memberships,
   may can be ok.
 * May it is better in this case to hide all.
    Really we should know exactly how
   google bots for example works. That +- nobody knows. We can argue by what it 
   is explained, i think the compromise above should not hurt the seo.

 * Translation error, sorry. it is difficult to try to translate as in native language.
   I should pay more attention.
 * I just know that Adsense and Google bots work differently. Even though Google
   can’t crawl and index it, Adsense can crawl the bot.
 * Of course have to try. It is also not possible to act only according to Adsense.
   Enough of not being able to crawl Google and the like. phpBB permissions also
   work for this.
 * …
 * Even if users make comments in WordPress, it is nice to go to the topic on the
   forum when they receive a notification about their comment or article. Because
   he will find himself directly in the discussion, maybe he will write more answers.
 * Also, since we’ve already synced users, a phpBB topic should open with the author
   of the WordPress post with her/she phpBB account, that is, she is the author 
   herself. Thus, the author will also receive notifications about incoming replies
   or comments. Moreover, he will be more involved in the discussion.
 * That’s what happened in the example I gave.
 * The links don’t seem to work. New ones:

 * I discovered something new. At the top of the first post of the topic in the 
   forum (in the example) there is a link to the post in the WordPress section: “
   Switch to home view”. It can be formatted with a simple html and css.
 * It could be very beautiful. If you can do these and publish them in WordPress,
   it will become the most downloaded plugin related to phpBB. (it already is) 🙂
   Thinking of integrating it into this plugin?
 * Of course, there must be preliminary instructions again. “Create a forum like
   this on phpBB, block bots from forum permissions… Then enter the forum ID below.”

 * Hey! We haven’t talked about it for over a week. What do you think?
 * The WordPress post will render the same content in a phpBB topic . User comments
   on WordPress posts will be added as a post in the phpBB topic, and vice versa.
   So WordPress posts and comments will become users’ posts on phpBB. Since the 
   authors are also matched, the topic will be created from that author’s account.
   Replies to WordPress comments can be used in phpBB with Reply with quote. I mentioned
   notifications: as this is the default in phpBB, they will receive notifications
   about posts via phpBB; It’s okay for the notification links to go to the phpBB
   topic; it should be as well. Like.
 * Are these too hard? Please don’t give me hope. 🙂
 * Maybe you should offer it with a Pro version. Because it’s a great feature. But
   give me the discount code. 🙂
 * Kind regards.

 * Ps
    Just a though, i found that it is very easy to do and not intrusive.
 * **So what it should do this feature?
    Add a topic into phpBB, with same title/
   content, when a new post done into WP?
 * It can be done using the phpBB extension that is on the way to be improved just
   these days.
    Actual versions gives problems on redirecting users to wp also when
   not needed. It has been fixed now and several options added. It also will come
   with ACP configurations options page, very use to use.
 * I will try to provide this new Topic/post feature on next coming (and fully working)
   release

 * Thank you for your reply. Just not getting an answer from you made me despair.
 * As far as I understand, this feature will be paid. Good. I hope it gets as many
   users as it deserves. I am also very pleased that you gave me the privilege. 
   As much as I can, I will provide support for its development as in this topic;
   even as an idea.
 * > Add a topic into phpBB, with same title/content, when a new post done into 
   > WP?
 * Certainly. When a post is published in WordPress, the same should be shared as
   a topic on phpBB. But this should be one-sided; that is, only posts in WordPress
   should be in as topics in phpBB. However, comments should be two-sided. Comments/
   replies made in phpBB should be passed to WordPress, comments made in WordPress
   should be passed as replies to the topic. So it will be as I said at the beginning
   and users will receive notifications for new replies or interactions.
 * There is also the update side of things. When a post is updated in WordPress,
   the phpBB topic should also be updated.
 * Since all users are integrated, the authors will also be integrated. So the article
   of the WordPress author will be transferred with a topic opened with his own 
   phpBB account. The first post in phpBB needs to be locked for the post update
   I mentioned to be integrated, so it cannot be edited. It will only be updated
   on WordPress and the change will also be on phpBB. I don’t know how easy it is,
   but maybe it can be transferred from the database; As far as I know, WordPress
   also imports text from database.
 * By the way, I think administrator accounts should be integrated now. 🙂
 * Of course, WordPress posts will be imported to the topic on phpBB as the first
   post. All but the first post in the Topic are classified as replies/comments.
 * Of course, some fields or codes may need to be converted to BBcode during transfer.
   I do not know. The rest can be done with some customization.
 * WordPress comments should also be considered. Maybe only posts on the first page
   should be taken as answers. It should be transferred to page 2 of the topic with
   show more answers. It is considered.
