betwixt: probably the best thing to do is to redesign the default kakumei theme to make it look exactly like the WordPress theme you are using.

Is there a particular WordPress theme you are using or is your design custom?

Hi there. I tried searching a bit, but I can’t seem to find a decent tutorial on how to use the WordPress header, footer and background color (of the main content box). Can you guys help me a bit in the good direction?

I have already installed bbpress, using the same database as wordpress and I configured config.php to match the integration.

Regards,

DM

[bloggerdesign]

fel64, did bbPress automatically add the aviators in the comments when you hooked it all up? Or how did you get that working?

[chrishajer]

I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

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

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

And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:

http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29

That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.

That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:

`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress&#8217;;

Hi,

I am running a WP site and trying to install BBpress, but when I run the install.php file, I keep getting the “already installed” error.

Here are some things I’ve already tried:

I created a new test directory and installed a fresh WP out of box, and then tried installing BB press–same error

I checked my databases–the only two I have are my two Word Press DB’s none of which seem to have any “bb_” references to them.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Here is a copy of my config.php file that I am using in my test directory:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘**************’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Area Mom Forums’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘*********’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘********’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

require_once(‘/public_html/test/wp-blog-header.php’)

?>

Do you have the plugin for wordpress to bring over the registrations of bbpress into wordpress? I think that should do the trick.

That is a groovy looking forum isn’t it!

[Trent Adams]

I wrote about this in the wordpress.org forums as well and the only thing was that anarchy-media javascript in there left over after I re-uploaded the file after a server crash from my own modifications to the original theme.

I have taken that up and reloaded the theme to the server, but I don’t see anything in footer.php that would even cause a problem that you are seeing.

In WordPress, just publish a page with no content in it. That gives you a blank page. That is not going to help accomplish what you want though. You can put an iframe in a WordPress page, but I don’t think the bbPress software will work there. All the links will be “out” of the WordPress page and iframe.

It was discussed here about a month ago:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unable-to-log-in-in-iframes?replies=9#post-11042

Getting your bbPress install to look like your WordPress install takes a bit of work. It’s not as simple as putting it in an iframe.

[jim12345]

Hello again everyone,

Thanks again for helping to get my forum up.

My question now is, how can I add a new page to my wordpress site that doesn’t have my blog entries on it? You know, like it would still have the site logo at the top, and the sidebar on the right, but then the main part of the page would be blank. The idea is that I would then put my forum on that page, inside an inframe. But I just want to know how to add that blank page.

Thanks very much.

http://bbpress.de is not an official site, and they seem not to be interested in a good localization. The “bbPress Deutschland” makers created a language file a few months ago, but this translation is not complete, it contains a lot of typing mistakes, some terms which are easy to misunderstand for a german reader and some wrong texts too. It hasn’t never been updated.

I love bbPress (and sometimes, I hate it), so I decided to create my own and better translation. I had worked only a few hours on it, and the result is a translation much better than the bbpress.de one.

The existance of a language file is a reason to use bbPress. People should know which translations are existing, and I think, they should know it from an official site. At the moment, there is no “official” german site, but only the bbpress.de. This is a project of “inpsyde”, the makers of wordpress-deutschland.de. A few weeks ago, they tried to deliver a “german WordPress version” with an advertising plugin silently, which was called by some people – me included – as a kind of “plugin spam”. (It wasn’t announced and not marked as an advertisement for the german company LinkLift.) This attempt to create an “official looking german WordPress release with advertising” failed, there was a great resistance from the german WordPress users. This is a strong reason for me not to trust those people anymore. I want the translation to be as free as possible from the early days on.

[pwdrskier4]

Yes, the two are fully integrated – users and functions.

Sorry but I am not using MU so I don’t think I can help you there.

[Slamlander]

I got this [http://slamlander.caselle-vpn.net/?p=21] :

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiextensionsAuthPress.php:352) in C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiincludesWebResponse.php on line 11

What I did:

On current install on integrated WP and BBP, added a “wiki/” directory and unpacked mediawiki 1.10.1 there, ran the install, and used the same DB. The wiki, at this time works stand-alone. What’s happening here is a version incompatibility issue, methinks, betwixt Authpress and MediaWiki. There are some code structure changes from 1.9.x to 1.10.1 but I don’t know what they were.

I do know one thing, no one has submitted this to the MediaWiki team, why not? I should have been able to download it from there and I could even get help from them, if it were submitted.

[pwdrskier4]

You may use my site Snownation. However, it is only a week old and does not have a lot of traffic yet. It is the latest wordpress integrated with the latest bbpress. Let me know if you have any questions.

[fel64]

Since you haven’t had any other offers: if you’re comfortable with saying Loinhead (that’s Loins for short) to the audience, go for it. Traffic is … just about reasonable, the forums tend to stay alive at least.

[openartist]

Hello,

This is my first bat at installing BBpress. I’m looking forward to playing with it if I can figure out what’s wrong with it. Can someone help me troubleshoot here? I think I read somewhere on the forums that someone had a similar issue but I can’t find that post again.

So first of all I’m integrating it a previous wordpress installation. I put everything in a subdirectory called /forums/. For the database info in the config file I put all of the same info for the wordpress install, I hope that was correct.

I have no clue what this is:

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

So I left it blank, is that correct?

Lastly, at the bottom I entered this:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.airshipleague.com/forums&#8217;;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.airshipleague.com&#8217;;

Is this correct??? I’m not sure what the difference between _home and _siteurl is. I’m assuming that home is where I want the forums to go and the url is the domain of the site as a whole…But that’s totally guesswork. A lot of this database stuff is greek to me.

So I uploaded everything and went to install it and would continually see the error above the install wizard:

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

I figured I would try and install anyways crossing my fingers it would disappear. The install completed and sent me a confirmation email. When I logged on for the first time above the forums it says:

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

If I try and log in it will hang and nothing will happen. If I refresh it will bring me to a login page with similar error messages hanging above.

If it matters at all I’m using Godaddy’s service which allows me to have multiple domains on a single IP, so the site is really a subfolder of my main url that airshipleague.com is forwarded to. I don’t have problems with that at all when I install wordpress though.

Many thanks for any help you can give me!

[JeffVoegtlin]

I think you’re right and that it is somewhere in the “integrating with WordPress” section. I tried to follow the example, but I didn’t know what I was doing or what what I did would do.

Thanks for your help.

There is an LDAP plugin which would be a good jumping off point for Active Directory authentication.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/26

Theme compatibility between WordPress, bbPress and MediaWiki is a stretch. I have a project on the back-burner that might help with WordPress/bbPress theme integration, but MediaWiki is a big ask.

[Slamlander]

So, if I get this right;

1) Install WordPress (current version, 2.3.1)

2) Install and integrate BBpress (current version)

3) Install MediaWiki (current version, 1.10.x)

Making sure that they all use the same data container and not to let MediaWiki set any prefixes.

Okay, that should integrate the Auth stuff and some judicious use of DB triggers (using MySQL5) might actually take care of most of the fleas. However, to be real Enterprise 2.0 here, the themes have to integrate aas well. Also, has anyone got WordPress to authenticate against an Active Directory Domain, like they have for MediaWiki?.

[Burkie]

hi, I have bbpress and wordpress fully working together, the only issue is that when a user registers with bbpress and leaves a comment it appears as anonymous. I have tried adding post_author but no joy, any ideas?

[chrishajer]

Don’t be scared, full steam ahead. It will be fine. I agree bbPress as standalone forum software is better than a WordPress plugin. Worst case you learn alot as you go along.

[chrishajer]

WordPress uses wp-config.php and bbPress uses config.php (although I thought there was talk of prepending bb_ to some files, including that one.)

Anyway, having it in a subdirectory as you do is perfect. If you cannot select the database, then something is wrong in your config.php. The connection details should be the exact same ones as in wp-config.php. Are they? The table prefix should be different in bbPress config.php and can be left as bb_. The table prefix in WordPress wp-config.php might be wp_.

Is there more to the error message? There has been some other trouble recently but it gives a different error message.
