I am going to talk to the regex gurus at work tomorrow and see if some sushi is motivation enough for them. There needs to be a complete conversion from path to normal get parameters.

2.7 and 0.9.0.3

I had a heck of a time getting the logins to work properly, the issue was that I would get a wordpress_logged_in_* cookie for /forums but never a wordpress_* for /forums

In the bb-admin wordpress integration I set the forum URL to the wordpress URL http://superturbodiesel.com/ and the same in the wp-admin for bbPress integration plugin and it worked.

Some other changes, I fixed the bb_mail function to use a from envelope for sendmail as the fifth parameter to mail. It should certainly be an install option

bbPress is light and simple but IMO still has a long way to go. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty with some patches. I will probably do a wp integration template and usernames in quoted text (from the QUOTE extension).

I migrated from phpBB out of pure spite. Every upgrade on my stock install would break and the fact that it had to be manually patched was ludicrous. As a professional PHP programmer bbPress is much easier to work with and the coding practices are straightforward.

The problem with these solutions is that none of them work with more than one _GET parameter. Particularly with the QUOTE extension. Also, it wasn’t over clear how a larger forum would handle duplicate subject topics.

No, I did not want that functionality at all. My post was simply an easy way to integrate an existing wp theme.

RE PHP4 post earlier, php4 is all but deprecated, its EOL has already passed, tell your host to upgrade!!!!

To include the wordpress theme I simply included the header and footer files into the bbpress themes (deleting the rest of content in there) and then added the login to the header in the wordpress theme using <? if (function_exists(‘bb_login’)) ?>

You can see this at http://superturbodiesel.com/. The only problem I found was that you can’t login from the wp home page. In my case this is perfect as forum administrators are the only ones who can post in WP.

The easiest way I found to integrate the themes is to include the header and footer in the respective files from the wordpress theme folder. This can be seen @ http://superturbodiesel.com.

The only real issue I have is that the bbPress login is not available on the front page without adding static HTML. I decided to leave it as is, in my case I only want registered users posting in the forum.

I found other issues with this setup, particularly in passing more than one parameter via get. I went back to ?forum_id=1 type urls.

This one actually works. bbpress in /forums/

“^/forums/forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$” => “/forums/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2”,

“^/forums/forum/([^/]+)/?$” => “/forums/forum.php?id=$1”,
