In reply to: Pushing WordPress Posts to bbPress
You used to be able to do that with bbSync, but I have no idea if it will still work in the latest release of bbPress and WordPress.

In reply to: Theme and WordPress Integration1. Yes it’s possible to make bbPress and WordPress look the same.
2. I don’t know about the widgets. I suspect if you include the WordPress functions in bbPress you could probably do that.
3. You probably want to redirect all your bbPress logins through WordPress since the WordPress registration function is more robust.
The level of integration you’re looking for is beyond what most people will help with for free. It’s all possible though (I think: not sure on the widgets since I never used one.)
What are you expecting from integration? Integration here means the user information is shared, that’s about it. If you want your bbPress installation to look like your WordPress blog, there is more work to be done. I’m guessing that’s what you’re expecting: you want your forum to look like your blog?
Here is the WordPress plugin:
crazlunatic: did you try it? That looks like what you need to do for integration, to me. Oh, except I think you need to do that before you install, so that your user tables are integrated. If you changed that after installation, install again.
Integration next week will be different with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the latest bbPress 0.9.
rahul286: the false option always works for all servers. The other options work but require some configuration on your end. So, setting it to false is the quickest and easiest way to get going. It’s not a problem with bbPress, it’s a problem with configuration on a lot of servers.
It looks bad because the path to your style.css is wrong. The stylesheet should be here, but it’s not:
http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css
So, where is it really? I suspect the path in the config.php and the URL you are using to access the forum are not the same, and that’s why you see the forum without any styling.
Wait – it’s actually here:
http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css
So, in your config you called the directory
forumsbut you actually installed it in the directorybbpress. You need to fix your config.php.You have this:
$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/’;
It needs to be this:
$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/’;
(or, you can leave the config alone and change the name of the
bbpressdirectory toforums.)Fix that and everything will look as it should. You may need to do a hard refresh or clear the cache in your browser to see the effect of the changes. CTRL SHIFT R in Firefox.
In reply to: REQUIREMENT OF Forum – WebMasterYour server responds that it DOES support PHP:
(uiserver):u12345678:~ > curl -I www.infotainmentcenter.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:01:32 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.1Try putting this into a file and making it accessible at your domain:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>Save that as
info.phpand try accessing it http://www.infotainmentcenter.com/info.php . Maybe you will find that the server supports PHP.If the host does not support PHP, I suggest you get a new host. I have seen forum software that can run with flat files instead of a MySQL database, but none that are done without a scripting language like PHP.
In reply to: Two different databasesWith integration, you are sharing the wp_users table. Even if bbPress and WordPress are in different databases, there is going to be some shared data – that’s what the integration does. So having bbPress and WordPress in different databases doesn’t actually help with that. If you have them in the same database, just drop the bb_ tables and edit the users to remove any bbPress users. I don’t think using different databases helps you down the road.

I hope you were making changes with each subsequent installation. If so, what did you try?
Try setting permalinks to
falseinstead of true or slugs, in your config.php, like this:$bb->mod_rewrite = false;If that works, then it’s a pretty permalinks issue.
In reply to: Incorrect handling of apostrophesWhat plugins are you using? And, is one of them, “Admin Can Post Anything”?
In reply to: Different BackgroundsIt can be done with PHP.
I’ve never done the random thing, but the Cutline theme for WordPress offers this functionality. You can read about it here:
http://cutline.tubetorial.com/totally-random-header-images-for-cutline/
I think you could adapt that for your uses.
In WordPress, for a specific background tied to a specific page, I just do something like this in header.php:
<div id="container" style="background: #fff url('<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/<?php echo $post->ID; ?>.jpg') left top no-repeat;">That gives the
containerdiv the background image of the post ID.jpg, so if you were viewing post 52, you would have a background image of52.jpg. You could easily adapt this to bbPress calls by using the forum number and$forum_id, whichever div you want a background for (#wrapper or #main?) and then the proper location of your images (whether they are stored in your template folder or your forum root or something.) It fails OK too since there is a color code for the background and that is used if the image cannot be found (I think that’s what happens anyway.)Let me know if that makes sense. This is how I’ve done it in WordPress, but the same approach will work for bbPress I think.
In reply to: My Needs (Input Needed!!!)Maybe all the cool kids are at SXSW?
I would offer to help but I know zero about integration at the level you’re looking for. I think it’s probably been covered here in the forums, but I don’t have any first hand experience you I hesitate to point you to any posts.
In reply to: Installation problems – HELP!Please contact me at an email listed on the website linked to my profile here, or just google my screen name. I’m not hard to find.
In reply to: bbPress-integration plugin problemI didn’t actually see your forum, so I’m not sure. I don’t think so though – you have to do some more work to get that level of integration. If you browse threads tagged integration here, you will see lots of tips.
In reply to: bbPress-integration plugin problemSince it’s a WordPress plugin, log into your WordPress admin panel, Plugins > bbPress. That’s where you enter your bbPress table prefix.
This is the URL once you’re logged in.
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?page=bbpress-integrationReplace example.com with your domain and you should end up right where you need to be.
In reply to: wpmu bbpress wp bbpress orgyLooks like your blog is fine, but bbPress is not. Assuming you’re using the same database for both, then the connection details should be the same, other than the name of the constants (BBDB_ for bbPress instead of DB_ for WordPress – if you copied the whole section over, the constant names would be wrong.)
It’s hard to troubleshoot these things remotely since someone needs to be able to log into your control panel to see the actual connection details, then view and edit your config.php to make sure the settings are the same. Without trusting someone with that info, you’re going to have a hard time finding help for the problem.
P.S. please don’t post the connection details here.
P.P.S. you can contact me directly using any email found on the site linked in my profile, or just google my name (screen name or real name, matters not). I will be glad to help off-list.
In reply to: Installing into my WPbbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. There are forum plugins for WordPress if that’s what you’re looking for.
Here are a couple. I have no experience with them, I just know they exist.
In reply to: Weird permalink problem..Please start a new thread.
In reply to: Forum and topic pages redirects to page 1BTW – great idea for a forum.
In reply to: Forum and topic pages redirects to page 1Nice to see you working on it
I think it’s a rewrite problem, somehow. When you access the page 2 & page 3 the “old way” they come up:
In reply to: Forum and topic pages redirects to page 1I wonder if the
forums/forum/is messing things up? Slug based permalinks seem to be working fine.You can add a line to your config.php to enable debugging and see some additional info which might help. This will be displayed at the top of your forum page:
REQUEST_URI:
should be:
full permalink:
PATH_INFO:Set this in config.php, after the database connection details.
$bb->debug = 1;In reply to: Installation problems – HELP!Right now, there is a problem with the config.php. It’s really messed up. I can see the source of that file. Looks like it was edited improperly. It begins with this
<!--pwhen it should begin with this<?php.I suggest you contact someone local you can trust who can help you get this up and running.
It looks like the host supports PHP so that shouldn’t be a problem.
