Right, cant fix the timezone as I have no idea what time zone it is in. Its 3000 miles away.

Cant be bothered with this – clicking a topic redirects me to my WordPress homepage? Eh?

Then it says the admin user I created and logged in as 10 mins ago doesnt exhist anymore. Riight.

Think I’ll stick with something more mature.

See you when bbpress gets there init.

Thanks again, but I dont have anymore time to waste ..

I just spunked 3 hrs on this! Thats more than enough ..

I have successfully integrated WordPress and BBPress (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/12?replies=25#post-2502) but I am having 1 problem..

When I log in as admin in BBPress, it seems to be logging me in with the ‘admin’ account from WordPress, and not giving it admin privileges on the BBPress system, (ie: i can’t go to /bb-admin to edit anything).

The only thing i can think of is somehow excluding the ‘admin’ account integration when you log into bbpress, something like

if ($user=='admin') { #skip integration }

Or is there something I am missing..?

Thanks,

I took the config down because it was publishing the entire file before the function error – ie all my passwords were freely advertised!

Anyway I tried again with a fresh config:

http://www.cjgavin.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/bbpress/config.php on line 53

Better than undefined function.

(line 53) $bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

Whats wrong with that??

Lines 52 > 54:

$bb->;wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_;’

$bb->;wp_home = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’;

$bb->;wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’;

I get this error even if I dont comment out the wp integration stuff.

I have no idea why, I have checked to make sure the permissions are correct.

It isnt working and I dont know why – more worrying – I can’t find anyone else who’s experienced this issue.

You can login to trac using a login from wordpress.org as that is the only login system. Once logged in, then you will see the link for submission.

Not very had to write plugins if you are a coder and look at pluggable.php as it uses a similar structure as WordPress. Right out of the box, bbPress may never work straight away with WP plugins without a core change in code.

I have successfully setup my site to integrate registrations/logins between wordpress on its own DB and domain (blog.bakedlog.com) and bbpress on its own DB and domain (forum.bakedlog.com).

Files:

WP: wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration.php

BBP: my-plugins/wordpress-integration.php

• I can create a user in wordpress and log into bbpress with it.
• I can create a user in bbpress and log into wordpress with it.(although the default role set for wordpress does not let me write (how do i change this?))

However, I too cannot get cookies to authenticate between the two systems.

I have included the following in bbpress’s config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

I monitored the cookies created on my computer as I logged into each system, and noticed that bbpress was creating the cookie correctly, domain: bakedlog.com, while when I logged into wordpress it would set the domain on the cookie to blog.bakedlog.com.

So the problem is with WordPress..

Looking in WordPress’ wp-settings.php I see:

if ( !defined('USER_COOKIE') )

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

if ( !defined('PASS_COOKIE') )

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

So, in WordPress’ wp-config.php I inserted:

// BBPRESS INTEGRATION

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

Clearing my cookies and logging into WordPress, I see the cookie domain is correct and matches my BBPress’.

But, there is still another problem, the cookies set by BBPress appends an md5 hash based on the site url and table prefix to the cookie’s name (ie: wordpressuser_bf17f59023eb22f…..) while WordPress’ cookie name is only: wordpressuser

I looked around in bb-settings.php and found:

define('BBHASH', $bb->wp_siteurl ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb_table_prefix) );

if ( !isset( $bb->usercookie ) )

$bb->usercookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpressuser_' : 'bb_user_' ) . BBHASH;

if ( !isset( $bb->passcookie ) )

$bb->passcookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpresspass_' : 'bb_pass_' ) . BBHASH;

So, the next step is to define $bb->usercookie and $bb->passcookie in BBPress’ config.php:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

I cleared my cookies and tested it, VOILA! I can log into either section (bbpress or wordpress) and switch to the other without losing authentication!

==========SOLUTION===========

BBPRESS CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

WORDPRESS WP-CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH BBPRESS

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

==========********===========

Thats it I believe, let me know if it works for you or if you see anything I have done that could crash either program.

Rod,

Right now, the integration with wordpress is strictly login related. The plugins for WordPress currently do not work with bbPress because of the differences in how they work with the system. I have requested the YouTube plugin for bbPress from the author of the Anarchy Media Plugin for WP and I hope this gets out there soon! Plugins don’t take too much to convert over to bbPress, but they still have to be converted to work with the system.

This is a wordpress/bbpress integrated theme. This theme will work only when you have integrated wordpress and bbpress. for details visit

Note: the header in wordpress will need to be changed to add link to forum

BBPress and WordPress = same creators … so a simple question : why, during the install, would be not possible to have 2 buttons radios with …

Option One : create a new DB users

Option Two : use the actual WP DB users

?!

[drtech]

Yes it’s working now.

[suleiman]

hmmm…I’m having the same problem, where I get the error about the bbpress database not existing. I’m integrating with WPMU instead of regular wordpress but that shouldn’t really cause an issue should it?

Is there a place we can hardcode it to wp_ instead of bb_?

[Trent Adams]

I have been using Alex King’s Mobile edition for WordPress for quite some time and love it! I was wondering if someone would like to look at the plugin and see how it could work with bbPress. It seems pretty straight forward.

http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/plugins/wp-mobile.zip

Another plugin called WordPress PDA is similar and might be easy as well.

http://imthi.com/wp-pda/

Interesting stuff! Any takers?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

So it is working the way you want now?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

In terms of integrating site with calling WP functions, it is a little out of my realm. If you search this site and can’t find anything useful, you can always head over to the forums with massive information!

I think i have it. By removing the www from the wordpress link fixed it . (http://koma-inu.org/bbpress) Now comes up with welcome header if you are logged in.

[drtech]

I have set up a web site integrating WordPress and bbPress.

Integration seems to be working – we have added a link back to the wordpress pages.

What I am noticing is when we link (htttp://www.koma-inu.org/bbpress) in from wordpress to bbpress, even though I am logged in, the front page displays the user name password and login windows. When I click on a topic or forum link, the header displays that I am properly logged in with a welcome message. Is there a way of adding a check to the front page to see that I am logged in already, right from the beginning?

@ear1grey

I read something about problems with the google policy but I am not really at home with this whole policy stuff … do you know what I have to change so that there wont be trouble?

@Trent

“The more templates the better!”

I think so too :o)

It really helped me with WordPress that there have been so many themes when I started.

I have made another one btw

Simple template – just made some changes on the main template.

[aleko]

I’ve installed bbpress 0.73 and i integrate it with wordpress also in styles.

I add <?php require_once(‘/Path to wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’) ?> for use “get_header”, or “get_footer” in bbpress templates.

Now i discover that it’s incompatible with BBLANG because if i try to set it on it_IT (my language) i get this error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /…./forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26

Anyway if i remove the first lines i added in config.php the language work correctly but i cannot use “get_header” “get_footer” in bbress template.

Anyone can help me ?

[bakedlogdotcom]

I was considering using Lyceum instead of wordpress-mu… would the integration with bbPress still be possible and *easy*?

I’ve installed bbpress with wordpress integration, the database integration works correctly thanks your guide. But… when i try to see my posts i have this error:

(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mhd-01/www.alessandropagano.net/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/gettext.php(307) : eval()’d code on line 1

1 post)

you can try to show this at http://www.alessandropagano.net/blog/forum/

I’ve heard that this could be related with language settings… but my config.php have the default setting (define(‘BBLANG’, ”)

Thanks in advance, i hope to hear you soon!

[plus64]

You need to change all links for bbpress and put bbpress in front of them, so they look like

^bbpress/tags

etc…. and removed

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /bbpress

as you can only ever have one of those in an .htaccess file, and connect it to your wordpress one as well. If you get all of that :X

[Trent Adams]

If you mean adding forum as WP page, maybe check out:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/166?replies=6

As well, do a search in the wordpress.org forums because I am sure there is more examples in that forums.

Trent

[peiqinglong]

UTW for tags in WordPress.

[Zambu]

Yes, I think I have them set correct in the config file as:

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

My links look like the following example:

http://www.domain.com/forum/topic/70?replies=3

I think these are what they call “pretty permalinks”. But still Google ignores the entire /forum/ subfolder and does not index it. On the other hand, Google indexes the rest of the website very well including my blog which is using WordPress.

For the record, I have already checked to be sure the robots.txt file is not blocking spider access to the /forum/ subfolder.

Any other ideas anyone???
