Totaldron, obviously I'm aware of what these packages are. My post was directed at the developers, in support of your original post.
In my opinion, being able to choose a single profile template - be it wpForo's OR buddypress's - as opposed to having both with one linking to the other, would be less redundant. Along with including forum activity on BP profiles, this would represent better 'integration' between the two.
OR: with a couple of simple items added to wpForo's profile template, wpForo would become enough of a 'social network plugin' by itself. I intend to get rid of buddypress altogether once I figure out a way to tweak wpForo's profile features.

Yes, we need to read the wpforo whitepaper too, like who is going to be the owner of the data etc, etc also as you said we need to know wpforo features, or addons, or extensions we still need more info and I'm waiting for their documentation page, which is underconstruction, but wpforo looks fantastic, I hope when the whitepaper or documentation is ready won't be dissapointed of it, I always read and take time to understand the small print, in there is the secret of every documentation. Cheers

Teratoma, BuddyPress is a social network plugin, bb press or wp Foro are forum plugins, buddypress has forum too, but everyone says is not good, so we need a real forum plugin to integrate it all together, users register with only one profile that can be used for comments, forum, buddypress etc.

Cheers

Having a "forum profile" and a "site profile" is kind of redundant. The option to bypass the wpForo profile with all member names/avatars linking directly to the buddypress profiles would be better in my opinion.

Ideally, a users forum activity would show up in their buddypress stream.

I believe I had this set up with bbPress, though it may have been aided by another plugin.

Eventually I can see the wpForo profiles being made into something that will work for most users without needing buddypress at all.

Great that is good info, I'm new with buddypress and I have seen some plugins that says: integration with press family, so I was wonder about wpforo integration with buddypress. thanks for info

Hi totaldron,

I'm not sure if I followed you, but wpForo is already integrated with BuddyPress:
1. It detects BuddyPress Installation and adds "Site Profile Tab" on forum member profile page.

2. You can change Forum Login/Register/LostPass URLs to BuddyPress pages using wpForo Settings > Members > Custom Authorization URLs option.

3. wpForo automatically shows BuddyPress avatars and username in forums, topics, posts and on profile page

This is all at the moment.

Can we integrate wpforo with buddypress? instead to use buddypress forum or bbpress integrated with it.
