I got to thinking… being that it renames the image to their usernames, I thought that the following might work, but it doesn’t…
<img src=”http://yourkahil.com/forum/avatars/<?php echo $strtolower($user->user_identity); ?>.jpg” alt=”avatar” />
Shouldn’t that work? I’m trying to get it to display the current username of the person visiting the site, provided they are logged in. If they aren’t logged in it shouldn’t display anything. Later I’d like to figure out how to do an if else statement so that if the visitor isn’t logged it, it will display a default image.
do you mean that “after upgrading and changing the permalink structure of a forum; the old permalinks does not redirect to the new one” ?
No, I just meant that with the current code, if you’ve somehow managed to change the slug, you’ve broken the old links. But, as you point out, bbPress knows how to move “sideways” across different kinds of permalinks.
WordPress allows you to change the slug and automatically redirects your old links to the new slug; it’s more clever than bbPress is at the moment 
Thanks! I went ahead and put the two as different prefixes. Can you make sure the developers put a note about that in config.php!
Yes, it will. WordPress has (what is usually) wp_posts and bbPress has (ditto) bb_posts, with a different table structure, so there’d be issues.
What are the dis/advantages of putting tables in the same database, does anyone know?
karaboga, permalinks should be permanent. Perhaps we can work on redirecting old permalinks to the new ones. Better yet, that’d be a great plugin
mdawaffe, do you mean that “after upgrading and changing the permalink structure of a forum; the old permalinks does not redirect to the new one” ? In this forum, for example we if write
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/100
it is redirected to the 100th topic with the new permalink structure.

Yes, permalinks should be permanent. But, in WordPress we can change the post slug, and then the permalink of the post is changed. Why cannot we do so in bbPress?
“But after what I’ve integrated both of api’s: the wordpress and bbpress; this resulted in the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /var/www/pm/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26″
-> same error here
Before I break things, I wanted to know if I can use the same table prefix for both BBPress and WordPress? The reason I ask is because I have several sites in the same database and I’d like to pick a convention. Anyone know if this will cause any problems?
Well, your guess was correct! Your tip got me to thinking about cookies – I’m a little rusty on my setcookie() syntax! Anyhow, I decided to install WordPress, even though I don’t need it just now, because if I could get that to integrate across directories, then I could surely do what I’m hoping for with the gallery.php page.
That helped me to understand the interactions of the cookies and directories and domains. All that to say, I was able to get it to work using the following in config.php:
$bb_cookiepath = "/";
$bb_cookiedomain = ".mydomain.com" ;
I believe that if cookie domain is not specified, then it will default to be the root of the directory in which the script is running, i.e. mydomain.com/forums/, making it unavailable to any other directory, including parent directories. You probably already knew that, but just putting it out there in case someone else has the same issue. 
For anyone else who gets the same error in future, its the WordPress config file, the only way I got round it was to do raw database calls, but including it generates errors.
Hi,
In our forum, we can see the topics filed under any tag. But if we open the all tags page (wordpress-tr.com/forum/tags/, we cannot see the tags, and we see the error message, “No input file specified.” What can be the problem?
A similar problem was discussed here, we use pretty permalinks and Options +MultiViews works, but still has that problem.
I really do need to know what your .htaccess file looks like in order to help you.
Also, there may be some issue with your bbPress running on http://www.bqtrademark.com and your WordPress running on bqtrademark.com
by looking at the code for the “upload avatar” plugin I found this…
strtolower($user->user_identity);
This is what I have now, but nothing displays for the filename, just yourkahil.com/forum/avatars/.jpg
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: WP Avatars
*/
function wp_aud( $felID ) {
$avatar = strtolower($user->user_identity);
$bburl = ‘http://yourkahil.com/forum’;
echo ‘<img alt=”avatar” src=”‘ . $bburl . ‘/avatars/’ . $avatar . ‘.jpg” class=”avatar” />’;
}
?>
Hi, my request will be useful especially for people using non-English bbPress versions.
There are some permalinks which are not translateable or changeable in bbPress. For example, in WordPress, we can change the slug of the permalinks for “category”.
I think it will be very appropriate if that kind of property is added to bbPress. These are some of that slugs:
topic, profile, forum, view, no-replies, untagged, tags, replies
(By the way, can we change these slugs by any hack?)
Ok, so I’ve figured out some more info to share…
First, the code posted above needs to reference the file type (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .png). Right now the code only points to the avatars folder.
Next, I’ve figured out that the “avatar upload” plugin for bbpress does rename the images to the user’s username, but makes it all lowercase letters if there are any caps.
Hope that helps.
Thank you!!
This seems to happen any time I choose a localization file
I get a series of fatal errors saying ‘Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader’ in bb/inlcudes/streams.php.
I’ve searched the forums, and it hasn’t yielded any solutions, is anyone experiencing the same issue?
I am running the latest bbPress 0.8.2, with WordPress config included.
No README or INSTALL files?
I’ve read the blog post and any pertinent thread, but I was hoping for some install/upgrade instructions, like WordPress supplies.
It is pointing to the correct folder, just isn’t pointing to any file like it should.
Forget about the PHP.
Where it just says “avatar” instead of displaying the image, open the page source (in FF: Ctrl + U, in IE: probably something), then search for “avatar” until you hit the right place. There should be an image tag. Look at the src property. Does that URL point to a valid image file? If not, what does it read?
sorry, took a break. that looks right to me, given your wordpress blog is at http://www.sitenameishere.com/wp/
also, you’re missing the semi-colon at the end of the require line – after the end paren ); but you may just not have typed that in here. check for that, it would break a site. Otherwise, not sure. Assuming the bbpress install works fine with the default theme…
you’re putting that code as the first line of config.php and nowhere else?
it might be the way your wp header is set up in comparison to the bbpress templates. mine was completely simple:
1. add the ONE php require line to config.php
2. drop Aditya’s files into a subdirectory of my-templates with a style.css with a name section
3. add bbpress styles to my wordpress theme stylesheet
4. change template in the presentation dashboard
Now I wanted my wordpress sidebar so I also added a div tag and sidebar include to those template files but otherwise haven’t had to change anything else.
Thanks for the reply but I have followed those instructions to a T numerous times and nothing works, including downloading that template. This code
<?php require_once(‘/absolute/path/to/WordPress Parent Directory/wp-blog-header.php’) ?>
Breaks the forums completely. I only get a white page when going to the URL….
I’m working on this today too and followed Aditya’s instructions too and its got me in the right direction– I think what you missed is downloading his “my-template” that pulls all the wordpress header and footer info in for you automagically. It is in the last paragraph “..now you can just drop this template” and the link is:
http://www.adityanaik.com/download/bb-my-template.zip
Anyway, worked for me and only thing left is to customize the forum portions / content area.
oh, you do need the ‘<?php require_once(‘/absolute/path/to/WordPress Parent Directory/wp-blog-header.php’) ?>’ as the very FIRST line of your bbpress config.php
Hope that helps.
