bb info added to wp_options for wp plugins

[fel64]

It would be incredibly invaluable if things like the bb table prefix, bb siteurl and path could be automatically added to wp_options; that way a WP plugin could get all that info with no difficulty. Right now every WP plugin has to request the user to enter all that info and it's a bit silly.

Could this task be done with a plugin itself? It's a fairly expensive process. The WP options functions have lots of hooks that can be used to achieve this.

[fel64]

It only needs to be done on install, and only if you're integrating properly. You can't rely on people having the extra 'meta'-plugin to do this or that plugin authors would use it.

What do you mean with the lots of hooks thing?

Every plugin that furthers the integration, like the users plugin by mdawaffe, the bbPress Latest Discussions by Atsutane and the bbPress Post plugin by mbyte, need this info. Having one extra record in the table is trivial, as is writing it when bb is installed.

You can access path, domain, url, etc. with bb_get_option() already.

var_dump(bb_get_option( 'url' ));

Please reopen if I've misunderstood.

(In [834]) access table prefix from bb_get_option(). re #648
