[Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] Cross posting issues

  • Hello again, I found somethings that don’t seem to be there. So, maybe this is a feature request, but here are the new issues I experienced:

    1- Updating a post in wordpress does not merge with the original forum post in phpbb that was made from wordpress. Instead it just makes a new forum post/ thread every time the post is updated. This can be very annoying if you need to update a post either due to a typo or new information regarding that post. I had like 6 additional threads created on the same topic just by updating the post in wordpress from the main page.

    2- User comments made in phpbb do not carry over to wordpress and vice versa. I am not sure if this is a bug or just left out, but the point of cross posting for me is to have people either post comments from the main page or the forum on the topic and have it displayed in both places.

    3- The more tag does not seem to be supported when cross posting. It would be nice to be able to post excerpts of the full post to the forum and link them to the full post in wordpress. This is how I had it setup in WordPress United.

    Again, great job on the plugin so far, but I am just not sure if what I am experiencing is a bug or something that was overlooked when implementing cross posting. If it’s not in the plugin yet, well that’s unfortunate. I don’t mean to be pushy or anything, this is just a request on my part that I would like to see added into the plug-in if possible to improve the cross posting experience.

    Any response to this? A simple “we are looking into it”, or something would be fine just so I know you read this post and whatnot. I don’t mean to be pushy, it’s just i haven’t gotten a reply in almost a week now.

    I’d echo the same issues.
    Probably the biggest one would be the duplication of posts. I understand the complexity of this issue given you’re not quite to the integration level of WP United.
