Hopefully, with an active blog, you have a good database backup.

I’m confused on this point:

my bbpress tables are inside of wordpress (obviously)

That’s not obvious to me, at all. Do you mean the bbPress tables are inside the same database where your WordPress tables are? That’s OK. You can put as much stuff as you want into a database, so long as you use different table prefixes for the different applications. For example:

WordPress: wp_

bbPress: bb_

Joomla!: jos_

etc

You can call your database whatever you want, then just keep loading tables into it for different application, like WordPress and bbPress.

If you integrated WordPress and bbPress, then your bbPress installation used two existing WordPress tables: wp_users and wp_usermeta. That’s to allow integrated logins.

Regarding where you put bbPress files, you said you put them into the phpbb directory. Does it look like this?

/var/www/htdocs/website/phpbb3/

/var/www/htdocs/website/phpbb3/bbpress/

If so, someone else recently found that bbPress finds an existing config.php (the one for phpbb3) and won’t go any further. In that case, just rename the phpbb3 config.php to something else for just a minute, so installation can continue.

There is some confusion about database names, table names and folders, for me anyway. Any information you can post to help clarify will help. Thanks.

I tested 1.06a integration. I created a new user through wordpress and he can post in bbpress.

Let’s see if anybody can confirm this.

Chrishajer,

I am using following versions-

WordPress version 2.6.1

bbpress-0.9.0.3

Where to find PHP error Logs? I tried but unable to find it. I am not a techie. I would appreciate if you can sort out the issue.

OK, before I go and mess with this whole thing, are you telling me I should install bbpress inside of phpbb3? I want the tables to be inside wordpress, not phpbb3…I will eventually remove phpbb3. Please confirm that I should be uninstalling the other copy and putting the new one inside of the phpbb3 database and then tell me how that will affect my integration into wordpress and the removing of phpbb3. Thank you.

I am looking at mySQL and my bbpress tables are inside of wordpress (obviously) but with the bb_ prefix, so what would I be changing it to? There are no bb_ tables inside of phpbb3, which is what that error code indicates, or am I thinking of this wrong?

FYI – Only three files changed in Trunk

• bb-includesfunctions.bb-users.php
• bb-includesfunctions.bb-meta.php
• bb-adminoptions-wordpress.php

I uploaded those and my version says alpha-6

Check your functions.bb-meta.php file for this:

case 'version' :

return '1.0-alpha-6'; // Don't filter

break;

Sometime ago I used to think the same, bbpress is too light but when it comes to integrate with wordpress and after having tried another option like simple-forum, I prefer a light core.

Perhaps the problem is the lack of a codex where you can find out how to add things-> do you want email notification? add this plugin.

This should be my only concern so far along with some parts of the core that should be in the template folder. There is stuff in functions.bb-template.php and I recently found more in functions.bb-core.php .

[wmnasef]

i think you are using different prefix for your bbpress tables. if thats it, just modify line 17 in phpbb3tobbress.php into the prefix you used.

again, i wrote that converter assuming the conversion is done on a new empty bbpress installation, not even integrated to wp. integration can be done after conversion according to this post.

[chrishajer]

Why not have a WordPress blog with a single page and comments allowed? With threaded comments in 2.7, it would be even better, IMO, for discussion. No one would be able to create new topics in WordPress.

[Sam Bauers]

This alpha release is to specifically address issues that arose from the last release. In addition I believe that the long standing issues with auto role assignment between WordPress and bbPress are now resolved as well.

Are you using a shared DB with WordPress and, if so, did you happen to use Fantastico or some other installer app to install it?

I’ve seen that (latin1_swedish_ci) borking recently with a weird WP install, but not with BBPress.

@eclipsenow – For now, the bbPress philosophy is to keep those 20 features in plugins and out of the core. But judging from how WordPress has grown in features over time, I’m sure bbPress 2.0 will have all 20 features in the core!

[feastoffools]

Not sure where to post this comment, but I’m wondering if the functionality of having wordpress entries appearing in the forums and comments synchronizing (like bbsync plugin allows) will become a feature of an upcoming release?

WordPress needs a plugin to allow you into admin on bbPress. Just search “bbPress Integration” in the plugin search.

[chrishajer]

What version of WordPress?

Have you cleared the cookies?

[ganzua]

how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

This problem comes from 1.04. I have the same error whenever I want to edit an user;

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php on line 2009

In line 2008 is this code;

// Keymasters can't demote themselves

if ( ( $bb_current_id == $user->ID && $can_keep_gate ) || ( array_key_exists('keymaster', $user->capabilities) && !$can_keep_gate ) )

$roles = array( 'keymaster' => $roles['keymaster'] );

elseif ( !$can_keep_gate ) // only keymasters can promote others to keymaster status

unset($roles['keymaster']);

Had anyone had success with alpha 5 (actually r1910) cookie integration with wordpress mu 2.6?

[thugzie]

wordpressfan I tried bbpress 1.0 alpha 4 also. I still had install errors Congrats.

[thugzie]

@ wordpressfan Congrats for getting it going. I tried bbpress 1.0-alpha 4 and still was having issues getting the install to work.

Some thoughts on the WordPress community, themes, and the GPL

http://spectacu.la/wordpressorg-pull-200-gpl-themes/

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/12/17/matt-the-gpl-and-more/

There’s a two hour interview there with Matt Mullenweg. He discusses premium themes, the GPL, WordPress, BuddyPress and even bbPress (although he seemed somewhat out of touch with bbPress.)

I should have said that the bulk of the discussion was 2 weeks ago

[nextical]

Well.. at the moment, I’m thinking why there isn’t any link to my WordPress ‘Index/Home’ site.. there only link to my bbpress home. So, I was just trying to make a link to my WP Home by changing the URL of the forum in the Setting page.

From ‘www.ins-ide.org/forum’ being ‘www.ins-ide.org’

but suddenly all the link missing the target because of the missing path. “/forum” in the URL.

Well I got Back.. and change the URL again.. but it still doesn’t work.

The only option I think about is changing the URL line by FTP/Cpanel. But again, I don’t know what file I need to access.

Anyone can help me?

[ganzua]

I sum up to the toll; recent registered users through wordpress can’t post in the forum. The “add new” link doesn’t appear whenever one of them logs in.

I tried to manually assign roles but whenever I go to the profile page I get a function error there. Forum death

In the German locale the weekday symbol for friday is ‘Fr’ instead of English locale which is ‘Fri’.
