I made another change to my forums to match up with my blog at http://trentadams.com using one of the 9 possible combinations from the Crave4More suite of WP templates from Sadish.
Check it out and let me know what you think! I might even release it at some point

bbPress 1.o hasn’t been released yet. We are going to have another release out here soon, or check out the ‘development’ versions at:
https://trac.bbpress.org/

Integrate in my mind (for this case) would have the bbPress install using the wp_users table. Login integration. Correct Fel64?
Trent
Nice fel64! That is one to remember (install) ! ! !
Trent
I think it is a pretty slick theme refueled and look forward to more ports from you! Thanks as well for using the ‘contact form’ at Pro Forums to submit your theme! Saves us monitoring the forums for new additions so much!
Cheers

In my opinion it would require less bandwidth as this was the first thing I noticed when I switched over from phpBB to bbPress myself. I would imagine this is due to the fact that bbPress is less ‘bloated’ with code in the core, but if you use a bunch of plugins, this can get you back up again. The database structure is less and the number of calls is less, but that has nothing to do with bandwidth.
The data served is about the same.
I think it is less, others have a comment on this?
Trent
It sure looks that way doesn’t it.
Trent
Will the email from either of these forms come to me Brad or just to you?
Trent
Akismet will not work if you don’t have a value between the ” in the akismet portion of the config.php. If you don’t have a valid key (as fel64 mentioned), it does the same thing.
Trent
Exactly, this is scheduled for the next release and is working in the latest TRAC version. Be warned prior to downloading, that it is a developmental version of bbPress and may not work 100%. I run it on my site, but I am comfortable working with errors! It is better to ask yourself that question prior to testing out the TRAC version.
Trent
It is more ‘keeping in the loop’ and your can set it up to ‘digest’ so you don’t get as many emails. It is just nice to know where things are going if you are interested!

Right now, development on bbPress is for a standalone version of bbPress that can be expanded with plugins. There have already been many discussions in the bbdevlist about integration with wordpress. Mdawaffe (head developer) started out with a couple of plugins to integrate the logins of the 2 programs and anything else that is developed to integrate the 2 programs are also going to be plugins.
Answering your question about the functions, the framework is there to have the 2 integrated, but no plans of yet to release a joint copy. Believe it or not, most people that use bbPress (200,000 or so) do not integrate with wordpress. It is a functionality that is growing in popularity though.
You have some good points on the subject, but I would imagine that if bbPress is released as something that works out of the box with WordPress, it will happen through plugins or through someone ‘forking’ bbPress development towards the integrated solution.
I am not a developer here, so I these are just my opinions and things that I have read. I think that you should join the bbdevlist and put your opinions in! The developers read that more than these forums! Here is the link to join if you haven’t already!

Do you have the bbPress and WP integration plugin for WP?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
Trent
I would imagine it was this:
$bb->domain = 'http://saladtossers.org'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'
// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.
$bb->path = '/bbpress/'; // Example: '/forums/'
It needed the additional /wp/bbpress/ as the path.
Trent
Put up a copy of your config.php with the integration portions in it. Tell us what your wordpress database prefix is and we can try and work this out. Just saying it doesn’t work will not help us help you. We need details of what you have tried and what your have entered. Just make sure you don’t put any password or other information in.
For reference, my WP integrated config.php has these entries:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://trentadams.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://trentadams.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
It is important to have bbPress in the same database as wordpress. As well, give us your URL to check this out for ourselves and try and see if we can help.
Trent
It would be your database prefix:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
Trent
use_keys, why can’t I remember that! Thanks fel64!
Trent
You can put up a conditional like I use in the YouTube plugin:
if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) :
Put that after the main plugin function and then the following before the closing of that function:
endif;
Trent
Point is, it would be a simple plugin to right to create a tag cloud of the tags that a person puts up by pulling the information from the database as an admin tool though.
Trent
Darn it, I forgot that blockquote is not styled in this forum…..that is a problem that I will have dealt with! I changed your post drmike to the code tag for now as it didn’t read right without a formatting of some kind!
Trent
I didn’t mention it when it was brought up, but I knew that when that was brought up drmike!
Trent
I will pass this along Jeremy to mdawaffe in the bbdevlist! I know what you mean about the overflow! The only thing that fel64 has a point on is that if the text doesn’t show up, they are more likely to use the code tags.
Trent
mdawaffe is working like crazy on 1.0, so the old versions won’t matter soon enough (well maybe not soon, but sometime!)
