Introduce optional replace WordPress comments with bbPress topics

Introduce optional replace WordPress comments with bbPress topics functionality.

Hi there, I'm just wondering if there was a high-level plan on how this might be implemented? Do you anticipate that guest accounts comment anonymously and/or use their WordPress, Twitter, Google, or Facebook accounts?

I'm really looking forward to this feature!

I really like bbPress and this feature would be great to have your discussions in the forum but the team is quite busy and I do not think it will make it into 2.6 but I still hope that someone may provide a patch for that :-)

Is there any update as to whether this will be able to make it into 2.6? I'm also curious about fatpat76's question on unregistered users.

Thanks! Really looking forward to this.

Bumping to 2.7 to get 2.6 out the door

Just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to this feature and that, if you could, it would be absolutely perfect if there could be an option to make an entirely new forum for each new post rather than just one forum topic.

The way my site is built, I want to create a kind of project using posts, and each post will get a forum attached to it. It would be amazing I could link the forum to each post so that I could change all the setting associated with forums.

I don't think simply having a new topic per post would allow me to do that.

I second the request to have the capability of not only replacing the comment section with a topic, but the ability to make that comment become a forum. I envision publishing classes and the blog post would then introduce a continuing list of topics related to that class. It seems like zippy courses plugin has taken this into account in some way.

I'm really looking forward to this feature that is common to IPB and VBullettin.

Unfortunately, this looks like a never ending story...

Thats's a pitty. This would be so helpful as the "bbPress Topics for Posts" plugin is way out of date.

We're all volunteers, we give us much time as we can afford
