TalkPress will be hosted forums just like WordPress.com does hosted blogs. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress

I suspect the development of TalkPress will eventually cause the menu integration of WordPress and bbPress somewhere down the line (perhaps WP 3.x and BB 2.x).

Not sure if that’s what I personally would want as the WordPress admin menu is getting a bit crowded but I guess it would be handy to be able to mange users in one place, etc.

[_ck_]

There is only one person currently working on bbPress. WordPress has a few main people in charge and dozens (if not hundreds) of people contributing additions and bug fixes.

Look, your complaints are doing nothing to help. There’s no amount of comments you could make which is going to instantly put dozen of people working on the project. bbPress costs nothing. It’s free. If you have something which is a priority or commercial in nature you need to find something else to satisfy you.

Apparently you are already using SMF so why are you even complaining here?

I’m a bit confused to if bbpress will be compatible with wordpress 2.6, will it be? And can you guesstimate when we might see something?

I’d love to be able to use bbpress but I’m running 2.6 so may have to look for something else, not sure if there are any good alternatives?

[wiseacre]

And bbpress has had many weeks of … nothing. And some funny old bugs.

Look at WordPress. How many lines of code you can find? And how many tickets are closed for a week? This is “development time” for me.

In other hand the bbpress development team does not give people timely versions … and news. For now this project looks like a hobby.

Hmm, is this the default in WordPress? define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

does that actually appear in wp-config.php by default? Because that would override the cookiehash calculation. Make sure then you have this in your bb-config.php

define('BB_HASH',md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

also, since you are trying to do “full” (complex) integration. You may want to see here for more ideas: http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

[wiseacre]

Do you plain to write bbpress?

4 days before August 1,2008 there are 41 (59%) open tickets? What did you do last mounts?

Some days after (!!) WordPress 2.6 release _ck_ (is he developer???) wrote “Integration does not work!!!”. Do someone knows what is RC or beta version? The great sambauers wrote “Good work”. OK, man, what are YOU doing?

Oh, yes, I know – this is open source and free software. But SMF is working well.

My WordPress/bbPress still does not integrate.

RE: FIVE things must be identical in WordPress and bbPress

configuration for cookies to be sync'ed and logins to be shared:



1. DATABASE secret key

2. wp-config.php/bb-config secret key

3. cookie DOMAIN

4. cookie PATH

5. cookie hash

1. I have checked the database secret_key – it matches.

2. I have updated the SECRET_KEY in both config files – they match.

3. 4. & 5. I have the following code in my wp-config

define('COOKIEPATH','/');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

And, my bb-config INCLUDES wp-config because of previous instructions on WP/BB integration.

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( 'full/path/to/wp-config.php');

}

NOTE: “full/path/to” was changed to the real ‘full path’

Any thoughts?

[kernow]

Looking good. Perhaps one day optionally link the bbpress admin into WordPress in a ‘all in one place kind of way’.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not experienced with php or wordpress/bbpress.

I have my bbpress site up just fine, but its not sending out registration emails. I have checked all the easy fixes

Inbox is empty

Spam is empty

tried on gmail, netscape, and hotmail.

Waited over an hour

I believe that the issue has to do with my hosting requiring authentication for outgoing mail. I called them and they explained that they do require this.

I am wondering solutions I could pursue.

Is there a way to make BBpress authenticate?

Or

Can someone provide a guide to getting an alternative SMTP system set up.

Thank you all for your help!

This was the last discussion I heard about the topic:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-wordpressorg-forum-theme

The script from the website that you gave me…

There is stuff in wordpress everywhere saying on the top of the thing (like the top of the page)(but it only happens in the admin control panel) saying

bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp__users WHERE ID = 3

Thats one of the main reasons why I want to fix it…and it also changed my homepage to my blog. And when I remove the script well thats where things get extremely messy.

vilimaunula – thanks for the help. i’m going to try to digest what you’ve done – this is way more complicated that what i’ve done in the past. but i’ll check it out and will let you know how it goes!

deliciousbass:

The “latest discussions” list at http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/ is compiled without the use of WordPress or bbPress loops. Instead, it makes use of two direct hand-crafted MySQL queries to the database, one to the WordPress tables and the other to the bbPress ones.

Basically, both queries search for all the posts (or comments, in the case of WordPress) written in the past month, then put these posts into various arrays. The arrays are then sorted so that the items are in a reversed chronological order, and finally the resulting list is displayed on the page with only the latest post/comment from each thread/blogpost/page included.

In case it is any help, here is the code that I use — I wouldn’t suggest just copy-pasting it to your site though before reading it through and knowing what you are doing. You may at least need to change the table names. I have added comments to give some idea what is done where.

See the code here

There most probably is a simpler way to do this, the php code could be streamlined, made more error-resistant, and it could possibly also be done with WordPress/bbPress tags, or it could be turned into a plugin, if someone has the time and the energy.

> wordpress is at /

> bbpress is at /bbpress

That’s fine and will work well.

You say you “took out the script”. What script are you talking about?

How is your WordPress installation? Is everything OK there?

[793634]

OK this is how I have it set up…

wordpress is at /

bbpress is at /bbpress

I don’t care if I do or do not integrate it I just don’t want to have any errors. And when I took out the script everything went blank white and displayed the error message…so I decided to put it back in but I am getting this type of error instead when I try to log in to bbpress(which I can’t ever since I tried to integrate it)

bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp__users WHERE user_login = 'Noproblem'



bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp__users WHERE user_login = 'Noproblem'

I am running 2.6 of wp

and the latest for bbpress as well…

Thanks for the help,

Noproblem

Thank you I have got my wordpress back, After 2 days of going crazy, I took noproblem’s advice I put back all my files and then used the auto upgrade. Thank you so so much, I’m so happy now.

Thank you Chrishajer for your help and noproblem.

Sounds like you put all the bbPress files into the folder that had WordPress files in it? Can you confirm that?

What version of bbPress and WordPress were you running?

[775251]

vilimaunula – your site akirakurosawa.info is an quite impressive integration of WP and BBPress. I’m wondering how you managed to integrate your forum and wordpress loops into one, as presented on this page: http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/. You are showing a single chronological list of recent posts and comments across both your WP blog and BBPress forum. Would you mind sharing how you did this? I’m very new to PHP so would not be able to tweak things easily to make this happen.

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Yes, put it in it’s own folder, inside the WordPress folder. So you might have something like this:

/var/www/public/website/wordpress

/var/www/public/website/wordpress/bbpress/

 

The 404 error might be because you are trying to use permalinks, either “slugs” or true, and they’re not set up on your server. I would change them to false for now and see if you can get the links to work. If that works, then you know that was the problem and you just need to set up permalinks.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

phpBB3 conversion:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-converstion

I don’t think so, not easily, not yet. I think there was a script to export phpBB2 to bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter

Hopefully you put it in it’s own folder, either under your WordPress folder, or off the webroot of your website.

View your profile should not give you an error unless you have something configured incorrectly.

[793634]

Ok I was wondering where I should upload bbpress? Right in the wordpress folder on my server? Also why can’t I click on the View your profile link? It says “User not found.” is that because it is still beta so to speak…

Thanks,

Noproblem

Ah there is probably a more developed guide on the WordPress side, let me see if I can find it for you.

update: here’s a few guides – essentially the process is identical to the WordPress side except the URL used is going to be https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/
