How to integrate The Events Calendar events as new BBPress topics for discussion

[memeco]

Hello, I’ve searched the forums, but couldn’t find my issue: I want that every single event added to my calendar (http://www.hackagenda.com.br/?post_type=tribe_events) to become a single topic on my BBPress section (http://www.hackagenda.com.br/forums/forum/eventos/)
+
This topic could also be shown on the event page for discussion, such as this event: http://www.hackagenda.com.br/evento/desconferencia-copyfight-ciclo-de-debates-e-oficina-sobre-cultura-livre/

I’m sorry if I’m asking way too much. I just want to know if it is possible, and if it is, how to do it? 😛

Hello memeco,

Thanks for contacting us! Unfortunately that level of customization does go beyond the scope of the forums. 🙁

Off the top of my head, I’m not even sure this is possible as the tribe_event cpt and whatever bbpress uses are inherently different.

Maybe (a GIANT maybe) you could use a save_post filter to auto create a bbpress post when an event is created? It would have to have a different slug, but it might work. Like if you called it event-name-discussion or something. I’m not sure this is very feasible though.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Good luck!

Oh, thanks, Casey, I will see if it works out!

This is a suggestion for improving the Event Calendar in the future anyway. 😉
