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.
Update: Adding this – <?php require_once(‘/absolute/path/to/WordPress Parent Directory/wp-blog-header.php’) ?> gives me the blank page when going back to my forum
adding this – require_once( ‘/path/to/wordpress/config/file/wp-config.php’); puts this line of text on top of my forum and does nothing….
I put both lines in the correct place in config.php with the correct absolute path and neither works…any thoughts?
Please help. For the life of me I cant get my WP Header/Footer into BB. Ive followed the instructions here: http://www.adityanaik.com/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/ but those seem to be old…Either way, ive gone into my template files and replaced bb_get_header() with get_header() and uploaded all of the files and a screenshot into a subfolder in my-templates. When I activate the theme, the theme activates but all i get is a blank page on my forums page…Any thoughts?
bb .81
I don’t know the php code. I followed what was stated above. The URI points to the right folder. When you upload an avatar using the bbpress upload avatar plugin, it renames the image you upload to your username.
$avatar[0] is the filename I believe. Have you checked what’s wrong with the urls?
well, this plugin names the images by username I think. It also has a default image if no avatar has been uploaded… shouldn’t there be some sort of code there to reference a person’s username?
The URL doesn’t point to a valid image file so it just displays the alt text. Check what’s wrong with the URL (and remove the pointless reference to $bbposter->user_login).
I’m confused… I activated that plugin and pasted what you put…but all that is there is the the word “avatar”…. 
I put in the url of the forum… did I do something wrong?
Thanks,
Kahil
