Hi Trent! Thanks for your message;

Dou you mean this list? -> https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

I am not a developer anywhere, just a bb/wordpress theme clumsy modifier, not sure if I should join.

[ganzua]

I integrated wordpress and bbpress; I succeded in displaying wordpress header, footer and sidebar in bbpress, and user logins are integrated which is great

However, each bbpress modification is being a big step for me and I’m finding quite difficult to add things like emoticons beside post-forms, tiny mce in forms, avatars, ranks, quote buttons…

Is there any theme with this kind of stuff already implemented?

[Trent Adams]

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!

Feedback for bbpress developers;

Regarding wordpress-bbpress integration, don’t you think wordpress and bbpress projects are starting to overlap?

I’ve been trying to integrate wordpress and bbpress and now I have;

* two login forms and profiles

* there are some css properties in the style sheet that are defined with same names that in wordpress; h2, h3, .alt …

* Afer adding <?php require_once(‘/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?> for integration, I load wordpress functions again if accessed the web through wordpress frontpage.

* Some times I’d like to use the same plugins in both; wordpress and bbpress, or any other feature/modification, so I need to duplicate the work. You activate a wordpress plugin and you have to find a similar plugin that could work in bbpress or any workaround.

I wonder if developers are considering a bbpress version as a plugin for wordpress

imho

[mikeh269]

I’m just fiddling around with the Crystal theme and trying to get it to match my installation of Unsleepable on wordpress.

I also decided to put in avatars.

I’ve made a bit of a mess of it.

http://www.mikeh269.com/forum/topic.php?id=1&page&replies=3

As you can see, all the posts are somewhat pushed up so they are all together. I would appreciate it if I could get some help.

Here’s my post.php

<div class="threadauthor">

<p><strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />

<small><?php post_author_title(); ?><br /><?php post_avatar(); ?></small></p>

</div>



<div class="threadpost">

<div class="post"><?php post_text(); ?></div>

<div class="poststuff"><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> <a href="<?php post_anchor_link(); ?>">#</a> <?php post_ip_link(); ?> <?php post_edit_link(); ?> <?php post_delete_link(); ?></div>

</div>

And the relevant parts of style.css

.poststuff{

font:10px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

text-transform:uppercase

}



.threadauthor small{font:11px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif}



.post {

margin-left: 100px;

position: absolute;

padding-left; 100px;

padding-up; 50px;



}



.threadauthor {

margin-left: 10px;

overflow: hidden;

position: absolute;

max-height: 215px;

width: 150px;

}

Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been watching the resulting code with fire fox and I notice that

a </div> appears and this one was not opened before;

<p>Allowed markup: a blockquote br code em strong ul ol li.
Put code in between backticks.</p>

<input type=”hidden” name=”_wpnonce” value=”9e88410df1″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”_wp_http_referer”

value=”/wordpress/bbpress/?new=1″ />

</div>

but in post form there is not any div

Hi!

I put es_ES .mo and .po translation files in this folder;

bb-includes/languages/

Then I changed config.php;

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘es’);

and as a result the whole forum stops working and I’m getting this message;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

Any idea of what’s wrong?

I have another question;

Is there anyway I can make bbpress to read wordpress language files in wordpress language folder?

[ganzua]

“Ahora mismo pienso que la solución real es incluir la traducción del foro en el archivo .mo de WordPress.”

-> Hola! ¿Como se configura bbpress para que lea el archivo .mo de wordpress?

Esto;

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘es_ES’);

en el config.php me da este error;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

[Trent Adams]

Do you have the bbPress and WP integration plugin for WP?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

Trent

[fel64]

Pop this in at the top of your register.php file:

header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */

exit;

In the long term it might be good to solve why bb users don’t work with WP, but I can’t think of anything off the top of my head.

[gjaw88]

I’m not a php coder yet and am learning. How would I go about making when I click “register” on bbpress to shoot it to my wordpress registration instead?

The reason why is because I have it setup so that WP users can also log on the forum, but bbpress signups don’t work with WP.

Thanks

Tengo un problema con la integración con WordPress… por cierto, hola, creo que es la primera vez que escribo ^^

Pues eso, a ver si a alguién más le ha pasado, más que la integración el problema es sin intentamos usar las funciones de WordPress incluyendo wp-blog-header y además traducimos a cualquier idioma, por eso creo que la mayoría de la comunidad no se habrá dado cuenta ya que, quizás, no especifican un lenguaje (BBLANG).

Lo que ocurre es:

Al especificar la variable BBLANG se activa la traducción incluyendo algunos archivos desde bb-settings.php:

if ( defined('BBLANG') && '' != constant('BBLANG') ) { // Covi:Don't include these when WP TRANSLATION is running: BBLANG defined

include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . 'streams.php');

include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . 'gettext.php');

}

if ( !( defined('DB_NAME') || defined('WP_BB') && WP_BB ) ) { // Don't include these when WP is running.

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'kses.php');

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'l10n.php');

}Estos archivos también los incluye WordPress y provoca un error (funciones repetidas).

La solución, como indica el archivo, aunque no en la traducción sobre BBLANG, es no incluirlos y lo soluciona en parte pero nos quedamos sin traducción porque usa el .mo de WordPress creo.

Ahora mismo pienso que la solución real es incluir la traducción del foro en el archivo .mo de WordPress.

Un saludo

Here is the site. NO I’m not using this for my site, this is just a test and is what domain name my friend offered haha. Nothing is inappropiate on this site, it is just for testing purposes before I buy my own domain.

http://www.saladtossers.org/wp/bbpress/

‘code'<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘mike_i126wor’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘mike_i126wor’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, passwordhere’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://saladtossers.org&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘test site’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ’email@gmail.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

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

[gjaw88]

I have both bbpress and wordpress in the same database. What else can I do??

[gjaw88]

http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Reference to this, I have set my pointers to my wp directory and it doesn’t take anything from it.

Is this the correct way for this part??

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_table_prefix’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

It’s very frustrating that this two great packages can’t be implemented easier.

Thanks

[fel64]

You need to change the permissions of the avatars folder I think.

http://faq.wordpress.net/view.php?p=54

The avatars cross the next poster’s names because they’re that’s how the CSS is set up. You could change the HTML and CSS structure, or if that’s perhaps too much you could open kakumei’s style.css, find #thread li { ... } and add this to it:

min-height: 120px;

That should make sure the post box is big enough that the next post box doesn’t interfere with the avatar. Change the number if you want it differently.

Same one I use in the footer, the problem is that my theme header is not a normal header found across wordpress installations. Any clue?

[c00l2sv]

Here’s another forum on bbPress. The rest of website is WordPress.

Thanks guys!

[Sam Bauers]

It is important to note that if your bbpress install is in a subdirectory of your wordpress install, then the directives in your wordpress .htaccess file also apply to your bbpress directory. So you need to check to make sure there isn’t some mod_rewrite rule in the base .htaccess file munging up your later rewrites in the bbpress .htaccess file.

I suggest anyone trying to attempt enabling mod_rewrite features be familiar with how it works. Apache has very good documentation for the mod_rewrite module.

There is little or no difference between the way bbPress uses mod_rewrite and wordpress uses mod_rewrite.

It is all down to your configuration and sometimes is impossible because of your host. I am happy to attempt to help anyone who wants to send me their .htaccess files and a detailed description of their setup. I will need full path names and urls and the site structure you are trying to achieve. Send to the username “sam” at the domain name “viveka * net * au”. I will send you back what should be a working set of files and will also attempt to report the resolution here.

[drift82]

I agree with djuggler. I have the same configuration as serimu on my self-hosted server. a .htaccess file at the root (/) for wordpress and a .htaccess file at /forum/ for bbpress. I have AllowOverride All enabled. Yet still no luck. I have had absolutely no problems with my 30+ installs of WordPress. But I’ve had no luck getting permalinks in BBPress working.

This is the only thing holding me back from using BBPress and I’m getting pretty sick of running XDForum.

[djuggler]

It is confounding that so many people have difficulty with the pretty permalinks.

In my case, WordPress works great. It’s .htaccess rewrites appropriately. On the same server Drupal uses mod_rewrite successfully and without effort. But I have spent hours upon hours trying different configurations and tricks to get BBPress to have pretty urls and it just won’t work. I do not use GoDaddy. I use 1and1 ( http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=6598272 )

For so many people to have the same experience and say “wordpress permalinks work but bbpress’ don’t” just cries that there is something flawed in BBPress’ approach to clean urls.

[LwEEs]

I’m trying to add things to the header but is not working out for me, I have modified headers in the past on wordpress, but bbpress header is different. Everytime I try I get an error. I just want to add a shortcut back to my homepage but html is not working for a simple shortcut on bbpress header. Can anyone help me on this?

Asking for paid support in a support forum is a no-no. I can suggest that you leave your contact information and then I can close the thread and/or drop a line over at the paid support list at:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Mailing_Lists#Professional

I know that is WP list, but there are people that might help there as well.
