I ended up making my own themes from scratch..

[fel64]

I don’t understand. PHP5 runs PHP4 code just fine; if it runs on 4, it will run on 5. (Other way around may be a problem, but that doesn’t seem to be it?) The plugin might not use features of 5, but it will run under 5.

[Heliotropen]

What a cool guide, – huge shoulder claps from me to you!

There is one HUGE problem though;

1.this plugin is no longer avaible?

https://codex.wordpress.org/User:RobLa/bbPress_Auth_for_MediaWiki

2. this IS, BUT, it is wrtiten that it dosn’t suport php5 (therefor any useable media wiki installations right now.)

http://hery.blaogy.org/2007/02/21/mediawiki-wordpress-integration/

Is there any plugin or way out there, to make the step nr. 4 in the guide possible. – The mix is not soo cool, with wordpress & bbpress intigration only.

In advance thnx.

Okay, I moved the config.php file, and the same error keeps coming up.

I’ve also deleted the forums folder and moved the bbPress folder to /wordpress.

[neyoung]

I’m using wordpress mu so I’m sure that there is a big discrepancy

Is there a way that I can trace which functions are called when a post is made? That why I can follow the execution with and without the wordpress functions loaded and find out what the difference is?

[chrishajer]

This is accessible:

http://llabrealityblog.x10hosting.com/wordpress/forums/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/screenshot.png

So, my guess is that extra directory “forums” is causing trouble, and that you have the config.php in that directory instead of the proper bbpress directory.

You can eliminate that forums directory if you want, unless you’re planning on running multiple forum software. If you eliminate that forum directory, make sure you update the config.php so the paths there match your webserver paths.

The big problem I think is that your config.php is in the forums folder instead of the bbpress folder where it belongs.

And I don’t think it has anything to do with phpMyAdmin (I thought it did since that’s when you said you couldn’t log in, after the talk of phpMyAdmin – maybe you never installed that?)

[chrishajer]

regarding your setup

1. did you install phpMyAdmin yourself, or is it part of a control panel?

2. did you edit any config files by hand?

3. what do your installation directories look like (i.e. where did you install phpMyAdmin in relation to the other directories you have for your WP and bbPress installations?)

is it something like

/home/llab/public_html/wordpress/

/home/llab/public_html/wordpress/forums/bbpress/

---

(why the extra directory here ^?)

/home/llab/public_html/phpMyAdmin/

Is your config file for bbpress in the forums directory or the bbpress directory? (IMPORTANT)

I think the forums directory is extra, and maybe that’s causing problems?

[neyoung]

ok. I’ve figured out whats causing the problem. It comes down to the Default Role Plugin. There is nothing wrong with the plugin itself other than the fact that it relies on wordpress functions. Thus you need to load wp along with bbpress. To do so I have the following added to the top of my config.php file.

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

define('WP_BB', true);

With the two lines in the config.php file the allow images plugin does no work. I even tried disabling the Default Roles plugin and leaving the 2 lines in config.php to make sure the plugin wasn’t the culprit. If I remove the two lines the Allow Images plugin works as expected.

I don’t know much, but I could take a stab at whats happening. Is it possible that when a reply/topic is made, bbpress is calling wordpress functions instead of bbpress functions?

[Trent Adams]

I reported it Chris. Just one of those things. I think bbPress is on the same server as WordPress MU, but I can’t confirm that. It just seems they are both slow at the same time…..

[chrishajer]

I registered, and could not log in with my username and password. Also, I never received a welcome email. So, something is screwy, for sure. Can you look in the database and be sure the users were added? Are you integrated with your WordPress install?

[llabrealityblog]

I have it installed, now I can’t log in. I know I have the right username and password.

Here’s my forum.

http://llabrealityblog.x10hosting.com/wordpress/forums/bbpress/

[Trent Adams]

bbPress is not a plugin for wordpress. You are better having it as a subdirectory, such as wordpress/forums/, but don’t have it in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/.

Try it’s own directory with nothing to do with wordpress.

Now I’m getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/llab/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/config.php on line 14

It won’t let me move the config.php file.

[wpitn2shape]

If when I put my WP log in form into bb-login.php and when that redirects to wp-login.php but shows a 404 (when the file is there), should I go to WordPress MU forums to ask for help?

>>>>

OK It also happens when I put bb-login.php into the code instead of wp-login.php, but I’m sure it’s still a WP/MU thing.

Putting my WP login box on the sidebar of the main page of the forum works however, so what I really need is to be able to change the log in message at the bottom of those pages.

[Trent Adams]

I think that wordpress.com should also be in there as it is a large site!

hummm… now all of a sudden posting images doesn’t work again…

I’ve installed the following plugins

Use Display Names

Defualt Role

WordPress Integration

Allow Images

I haven’t modified any of the core files. I’d like to avoid another fresh install, but that may be my only option. If thats the case I’ll reinstall the plugins one by one to find out if thats the culprit.

[wpitn2shape]

Here is my solution!

Plugins for WordPress integration

I hadn’t read that before since the title didn’t seem to suggest it was my problem. I went through all those steps, too. I need to skip down to the good stuff. Heh heh.

[Sam Bauers]

Read my posts above with regards to running bbPress in a sub-directory and having WordPress mod-rewrite rules in the parent directory.

[wpitn2shape]

Another update:

I just wrote an add-on to my WP plugin, and it works with BBPress. It relates to the post author, just like the WP plugin related to a post or comment author. It even uses IDs which turned out to be the same in both my installs. I have two users and they did migrate.

Now why am I having the login problem?

Anyone have a workaround?

[wpitn2shape]

I want to hook, et whatever, into the author id of a post to make my avatars plugin work with BBPress.

The docs just say it’s the same as WordPress, but not exactly. The tags are different and my original plugin doesn’t work anyway (or perhaps it’s an integration problem with my installs. I’m running MU).

I’m looking for equivalents like these or anything related

$the_author = get_the_author_id();

Where are the docs for the plugin API, basically? I don’t require you to look into what exact hooks, etc. I need, just lead me to info. If you want to do more, that’s fine, too.

Hi,

We’re using bbPress 0.8.2.1 integrated with WordPress 2.1.3. Before upgrading to 0.8.2.1 everything was ok. But after upgrading, something has broken.

bbPress cannot count these values properly:

– Numbers of topic and the messages of a member in his profile. (For example, a member who had 6 pages of messages in his profile, has only 1 page now)

– Number of “topics with no replies, topics with no tags, unresolved topics” values are wrong. Each has less pages now.

– In admin panel, the number of members is not accurate. bbPress says there 714 members; but this value is 6109 (this is the correct one) in WordPress.

What can be the problem? I can tell the plugins we use, if necessary to solve the problem. Thanks!

[wpitn2shape]

An update:

I don’t think my integration in general is working too well, because my avatar from my own avatar plugin is not displaying my user’s av. Of course this could be my plugin, and perhaps I need to work on an integration for THAT, too – ha ha.

But I’m really worried about my MU integration..

Looking closer I think it is the plugin in the sense that the post doesn’t bring up WP-type post code, but BBPress and the plugin doesn’t have that written. It’d have been nice for it to be more integrated on its own. I read others use their plugins on the forum pages. Sigh.

[wpitn2shape]

I searched, but there were only similar problem and another (only similar) MU problem was not replied to.

I have an MU site I’m building and I installed BBPress for it. Everything’s fine except for this issue. I installed the three integration plugins, and I logged in to the forum with my WP info and it shows my display name.

But here’s the thing. (This is not a browser thing but I find it funny to note I can see both instances of the problem at the same time..) In Firefox I’m currently logged into the forum and not WordPress, in IE it’s the opposite. If I log in to WordPress, it doesn’t log me into the forum and vice versa.

I want to get rid of BBPress’s logging system altogether and especially the registration, because I don’t want to chance it that it won’t work for my MU, like I read in another thread.

Currently I know this will be very annoying to my users, and I don’t want that.

Any help? Thanks.
