I don’t know – what’s easier for you, downgrading to 2.5.1 or upgrading to an alpha release of bbPress?
Personally, if I needed integration between WordPress and bbPress, I would install the 0.9.0.2 of bbPress and 2.5.1 of WordPress. Alpha software should be used for testing only.
any new solution without using RSS aggregator plugin?
Anyone use Godaddy webhost? I just use the service and moved my old site to .
WordPress http://xxx.com (URL Rewrite is fine)
bbPress http://xxx.com/forum/
but the default (rewrite-rules.php) permalinks is not work. Anyone know how to use bbPress URL Rewrite with GoDaddy?
Hi I do have a version working(I downgraded bbpress to the last version bbsync worked because I was tired of using a alpha version of bbpress) it’s completely new code, but it’s very basic on the feature set and a bit hacked together, as I could never get the bbpress functions to work in a wordpress plugin.
I’m at a public library at the moment so I don’t have the code with me but I can work on the code a little bit when I get home.
Also please note, this was just made for me and I probably have different needs to what you needed, for example I wanted all wordpress posts to make a new topic so there isn’t options on a per post basis to post to a forum. Also comments don’t replicate between bbpress and wordpress(I was just going to disable commenting and make all users use the topic) but depending on how much time I have tonight I might add this functionality as I don’t see the difficulty in it.
Also F.Y.I. if anyone is interested I do it the úber ghetto way and manually manipulate the database and don’t go through any of the wordpress or bbpress functions so use at your own risk, but I haven’t run into any problems on my test site.
The facebook connect system will be launched shortly, could we use this to login to bbpress and thus integrate with an already ‘connected’ wordpress site?
Yeah this is a good question.
What version bbPress and WordPress are you using?
fel64 says bbSync is very, very broken right now.
Hi there!
We just installed bbPress onto our WordPress install. We love it. ONly problem I have right now is with integration. We’re using bbSync to integrate comments and posts.
I’m able to get WP to post to the BBPress install, no problem. Comments come over, etc. When new comments are made on the WP side, they are adding just fine to the BB side.
However, the comments are not showing up on the WP side. All the posts that have been published after bbSync are showing this behavior.
Any thoughts? This might be a bbSync issue, but thought I’d post here, too.
Looks like this guy: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync/page/8#post-15078 is having the same issue.
Yeah it’s an extremely annoying issue, especially because everything else seems fine and suddenly you’re just stuck.
It’s good to see though that I’m not the only one with this problem. I have my hopes up that this will be solved with the Beta. The development hub looks very promising.
Ok so to update this, I was able to get everything to work by downgrading to MU 1.5.1 (which is 2.5.1 regular wordpress)….
Now it looks like we have an issue with MU…
Same point here. I asked this 3 months ago (here and here) but I get no response.
No, WordPress 2.6.1 and bbPress 0.92 cannot integrate logins/cookies at all. I guarantee you were missing that something was not working right.
WPMU users are pretty much on their own and have to ask the handful of other WPMU users.
Hello azsportshu,
WordPress 2.6.1 and bbPress 0.92 can integration fine?
It was WordPress Mu 2.6.1 and BBpress Alpha…..
I have done a few re-installs since then and now am able to log in if I take out the reference to wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php from my bb-config file.
In any event, it is odd because I had the setup of WordPress 2.6.1 and Bbpress 0.92 on my test server and that was working fine. Now integration has all gone to hell and back…
I just wanted to add that I am having the same issue as Nekita….I was able to get everything integrated outside of the fact that BBpress does not recognize any user other than Inactive. That seems to be the only issue at this point, but one that stops the whole integration from working…..
a few days ago I successfully integrated bbPress with WordPress and installed this amazing plugin bbSync; for a few days it all worked seamlessly – every comment in WordPress was going to relevant topic in bbPress and if someone went straigtforward to forum and commented there their comments were included inside relevant post in Wordpres; just brilliant!
but…
I upgraded to WP 2.6.1 and integrated with 1.0 Alpha (trunk) and it all went wrong; it’s true, even in WP 2.5 + 0..9.2 there occurred some errors but integration between the forum and the site was perfect; and now it does nothing at all and all I get is the following error:
“Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /users/adado/www/fulham.pl/forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 20”
it looks like the author of the plugin doesn’t maintain his project and it’s really sad ’cause this is THE PERFECT INTEGRATION of both applications
I would be in seventh heaven if I woke up one beautiful morning, checked the bbPress.or and.. there it is! a new built-in feature of bbPress 1.0 which makes what bbSync used to do
I’m PHP amateur so I cant’ do this by myself but I strongly believe there are some brainy people who could make life of many people happier; and looking at the list of plugins: bb Reputation, New User Notification, Post Count Plus, bbPress Signatures, Unread Posts… and many many more I’m talking about one specific person
all I’m begging for is one more plugin
please!
I’m running WordPress 2.6 under root; bbPress under /forums and also using K2 1.0RC7 as my WordPress theme.
I have made a new page called ‘Forums’ on WordPress which is now in the navbar and have used the plugin ‘Page Links To’ to make this page point to /forums.
However, what would be the best way to get the blog acting like this one, for example:
http://onvertigo.com/ …. clicking ‘Forum’ lets bbPress load underneath the header.
There is a K2 theme floating around for bbPress but it doesn’t have the top nav…..
Any help would be appreciated!
I just checked the plugin (Edit History) and it might be quite useful (I wouldn’t mind having this integrated in next version of bbPress …) which I can’t tell about Post Revisions in WordPress….
IMHO every new feature should have option to disable it within admin panel without resorting to tinkering with wp/bb-config files
hopefully the stable version packed with new features (like the i-Phone related one) will leave users the choice to use them or not
I agree with the ideas of having a plugin that will do the integration of both standalone BBPress and WordPress.
One of the strength of WordPress is its easy installation & expansion through plugins. But the only missing thing is good plugin that will do the integration with forums seamlessly.
I’m really looking forward for this.
Hello Sam,
yes I thought as much, but I had a database backup ready so it’s all good.
So is it safe to assume that one is better adviced to wait with deeper integration until 1.0 or a stable beta is released?
Thanks
Lars
@Nekita
Don’t modify your bb-config file until after you have installed bbPress.
Even then I can’t guarantee it will work with Trunk as it isn’t tested for deep integration yet.
The essence of this is that it screws with the usermeta data in the database once you try and integrate WP functions, up to a point where even your admin account for WP doesn’t work anymore.
Here’s an example:
Variant1:
1. Upload bbP to the Server
2. Change the bb-config.php including the require_once line
3. Run the Installer
4. After Installation is finished you can’t log on to your WP admin anymore because the admin user suddenly has insufficient access rights, requiring a database restore.
Variant 2:
1. Upload bbP to the Server
2. Change the bb-config.php excluding the require_once line
3. Run the Installer
4. Add the require_once line after installation is finished
5. Your WP admin account is still working as it should and you can even use it for bbP, but with the Inactive user status.
Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
By the way, i am also having the problem with the some of the forms, like the reply forms, disappearing. No html is posted whatsoever. I haven’t looked into it thoroughly yet though.
I know this has been talked about before and some people disagree… but i will ask cause i am not wanting you to work for me.. i just need some guidance…
I know some php and mysql.. i understand queries , functions.. and all that basic php/mysql implemantation… i also understand relational databases… what i dont understand is how plugin works… hooks, api…. and all that techninality people talk of at wordpress.org
Having sad that.. this is what I am trying to accomplish in order to integrate both bbpress and wordpress..
Create a forum category in wordpress, so when i post i select the regular category..(ex: news) and if I want that news to be posted in the forum i also select the “forum” category.
Then i create a relational table that contains all post ids.. and the forum posts ids… that way i can quickly pull the info in bbpress and/or wordpress..
What I dont know is how to integrate this in the Write Panel… because i don´t understand it how it works. If someone can help me to understand it.. i could create a query on the write panel to post to the forum whenever i select the “forum” category
that could also be a plugin.. but i dont kno whow to make plugins… mabe somone can point me out to a tutorial…
Anyway… bbpress is nice.. and wordpress is awesome. Thanks for working so hard to make this possible.
