My WPMU and BBpress setup is 99.99% complete. The *only* remaning issue is this:

Across all the blogs in my WPMU install I have a header that uses the following code to hook into every wordpress blog on my site:

add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_admin_bar’); /* part of hack to make this show at the top of each blog */

add_action(‘wp_head’,’wp_admin_bar_style’);

I need this header to show up at the top of my bbpress install without having to load wordpress on top of bbpress.

In short, I like my bbpress the way it looks on its own, I just want the header at the top. Is this possible?

Atsutane: Thanks so much for your help!! I really appreciate it

[Atsutane]

From what i see. I think it only css problem and some html problem. It seem before <div id=”footer”> u got 1 extra </div> … well i think so Anyway i need to go now. Good luck with your bbpress

[tgpuckett]

OK, so I keep getting closer Atsutane, I don’t use K2 unfortunately

http://www.macuserblog.com/boards/ is where I’m at now. Is the remaining problem CSS or PHP-related? Thanks again!

[Atsutane]

For me i put inside footer.php after i close all div that hold my forum content. If u are k2 user maybe i can share my header.php and footer.php

[tgpuckett]

OK, I can follow that, where do I need to put get_sidebar()? In the header?

[Atsutane]

I do like this. In header.php i put

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div something>

<div something>

Inside footer.php i put

</div> // close something div

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div> // close something div

<?php get_footer(); ?>

When u put “<?php get_header; get_sidebar(); get_footer(); ?>” all inside header.php that mean u load all ur header, sidebar and footer before u load ur content

[tgpuckett]

OK, in my header.php file I have <?php get_header; get_sidebar(); get_footer(); ?>. Everything is OK, but now bbPress is shoved below the WP theme. Is this a theme problem or a CSS problem? How can I fix it? I really appreciate all the help you’ve offered Atsutane! It’s much appreciated.

[Atsutane]

To center it u need to play with css .. try look into default bbpress style.css and see which code u can use to suit your theme

[metavalent]

Double quotes is also inconsistent with the rest of config.php, which uses single quotes, throughout. I still can’t tell if Aksimet is working because when I go to the Content area of the Admin panel at http://mysite.com/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page

all I get is the bbPress footer logo stuff.

[tgpuckett]

Yeah that’s kind of confusing…..Really the only problem now is bbPress is not centered in the page as it should be, it’s on the left-hand side. How can I fix this?

[Atsutane]

Well maybe u can imagine like this. Inside your bbpress template, all file (not included header.php and footer.php) equal to your normal WP post. So u need to set up header.php and footer.php to be like ur WP index.php theme file.

To make it short. Cut your WP theme index.php into 3 part. 1 for bbpress header.php, 1 for bbpress footer.php and one for your post a.k.a other bbpress template file.

Sorry if my word confusing you. But i donno how to explain it .

Atsutane:

Ok, now header.php only includes: <?php get_header() ?> and nothing else. It looks better now. How do I get the sidebar, etc to move over? I want it to be completely seamless. Thanks so much for your help so far!

[Atsutane]

tgpuckett,

it seem to me u put get_header(); inside header.php without removing all the original content

[talkaboutdesign]

i got this to work fine, check out http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/

I’m also working on modifying the theme, and will be releasing a download for it in a near future.

[tgpuckett]

OK, so I’ve done that, and it looks kind of muddled. How can I get bbPress to ingore it’s own stylesheets and just get all the info from WP’s theme?

http://www.macuserblog.com/boards/

[tgpuckett]

OK I’ll try it without. Thanks

[Atsutane]

Yeah that the main point. But i think if u using version 0.73, u no longer need to put define(‘WP_BB’, true);

[Atsutane]

shedrock,

even if wordpress and bbpress are using different database u still can have the same user database. The only u need to do is to make sure wordpress and bbpress database name and user is the same.

To call your forum from wordpress, maybe u can try making new static page and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”. So everytime u click on that page, u will be redirect to your forum.

P/S: maybe this will only work if you enable pretty permalink for wp.

[tgpuckett]

OK, so let me get this straight;

To make bbPress and WordPress match, all I have to do is add:

require_once('/path/to/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true); in my bbpress config.php file (edited to fit my directory structure of course). and then in the theme’s header.php, I put get_header() and bbPress will grab the header from my WordPress install, and all will be right in the world?

[tgpuckett]

Thanks so much! I’ll check these threads and report back w/ any problems.

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

If you copied and pasted the config.php file exactly as you inputted it, then the problem seems to be that you didn’t fully fill out the config file.

Config-sample.php should be renamed to config.php and this is what you should be entering (leave anything I didn’t include here alone):

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

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

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘the pass to the database‘); // …and password

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

$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // 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/’

Give your forum a name and enter your email…

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

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

And that’s it…go to shadesofblack.free1k.com/bbpress and you should get the installer.

Hello all,

I’ve successfully installed WordPress and bbPress on my site, http://www.macuserblog.com, and I’d like to know how to make the bbPress installation look like my WordPress blog. I’ve already done the integration with users and such as is possible in bbPress’ config.php file, and the next step is configuring the theme so the transition between WP and bbP is as seamless as possible. Thanks!

[preckie]

oops, i tried another version of the config file, i made everything i edited in the “only useful for wordpress integration” part and placed the values “false” and here’s what i got when i tried logging in.

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, ‘—‘, 1 ) = ‘d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’
