And a Custom BB-Badge Plug-in i made 
The skin is an edit of the original bbpress theme, i made it to fit the main site (a WordPress blog). The icons are from the Tango Project.
The most noticeable changes in the layout are on the forum displays (front page and the one for each forum) and the profile.
Hi spencerp!
I am not using WP, so the integration is taking place between MW and BB only. BB was already installed, and I have 26 users. Integration took place *after* I installed MW in the same database as BB.
citizenkeith, are installing MediaWiki with those changes and additions already done to it, before actual installing of it? Or are you doing these changes/ additions to MediaWiki *after* MW installation is done? Also, is all three (wp, bbpress and mediawiki) installed in under same database?
What I did, was, had bbPress and WP installed *first*. And integrated first. Then, I installed MediaWiki into the same database as WP and bbPress. Then applied those extensions and additions to MediaWiki…

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Installed Mediawiki. Put Authpress in the extensions folder. Added code to LocalSettings.php. In that file, I tried both with and without these lines, uncommented and with my database information:
# Only include the following if you aren't using the same db as MediaWiki
$wgAuth->setAuthPressDBServer ('FIXME');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressDBName('FIXME');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressUser('FIXME');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressPassword('FIXME');
I added false, 0, as described here:
http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wiki-tech/2005-August/000028.html
I’ve tried every combination, but MediaWiki still looks for the table mw_bb_users instead of bb_users.
My only option is to re-install MediaWiki without the table prefix, but I’d prefer to avoid that.
I have installed wpPHPmailer plugin with WordPress so that I can use an external SMTP server with password protection. The the same time I have integrated bbPress. But when a user registers, there is this message:
“Great! Your registration as was successful. Within a few minutes you should receive an email with your password.” .
But then there is a message on the top:
“Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:Program FilesApache GroupApache2htdocsmydomainforumsbb-includesregistration-functions.php on line 105″
Cannot I use wpPHPmailer with bbPress. Alternatively, how can I use the native sendmail or whatever functionality comes with bbPress.
Hi,
i’m having the same problem with my WordPress and bbPress integrated install – (href tags getting stripped and extra slashes getting added)
See here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/641 and here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/670
I’m running:
WordPress 2.1.3
bbPress 1.0-alpha
The 2 fixes worked for me but rather than editing the bb-includes/default-filters.php file.. i put the temporary fixes in a quick bbPress Plugin so that i don’t end up forgetting about the modifications after an upgrade and can now easily deactivate the plugin should this issue get permenantly resolved.
I put the plugin up online. If you’re interested, you can download it here: http://indyish.googlepages.com/fix-href-slashes.php
the answer is here

I’ve tried everything in the above thread, but I still get mw_ appended to the table (mw_bb_users).
Yes, we could set up a wiki – but to avoid (most of) the stated problem it would have to be a technical/developers wiki for now. We should also agree to move it’s contents to any official wiki when it comes along. I assume that an official wiki would use the same software as codex.wordpress.org which appears to be mediawiki, so to be compatible when the time comes we would have to use that too. My personal thought is that it is about time for this, and as the development community grows it is becoming necessary. I could set one up in half an hour (I’d be happy to host it – ad free). And we could work out the taxonomy of it here.
To be slightly democratic, I say if ten people who we recognise as regulars/developers vote for it here, then we should go ahead. I’m also willing to hear arguments against the idea too.
Should we vote on it?
Sorry if this has been dealt with, but I’ve searched the forums for this and haven’t found anything. I’m pretty sure this is not a bozo issue.
Using bbPress 0.8.1 with WordPress 2.1
Just installed not long ago and am testing now…
I am able to add forums with no problem.
But, when I add a new post to a given forum, it appears to save (it does in fact, as I checked the db table). However, it doesn’t show up in the forum post counts on the front page, and unless I navigate back to the form where I added the post, I lose it completely.
I’ve tried subscribing to a new post that I just saved, and I get the message “Something strange happened, please try refreshing”. I do refresh, and the message goes away, but nothing else happens, and the post is still lost in limbo.
Any tags attached to the post do show up correctly –it’s just the post itself that is gone.
Thanks for any help!
Tim
When i was using author.php for my wordpress profile i used the following code to show the latest blog posts i had made
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
Posted @ <?php the_time(‘d M Y’); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Well well, it looks as if this user has no posts. Nevermind!’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This doesn’t work in my bbpress profile, even though i have the 2 integrated. Any ideas of how i could get it to work?
Hi peoples.
I wish to install bbpress for the Hebrew language (which is right to left), for which I need a supporting style sheet (such as the style-rtl.css).
Unfortunately, style -rtl.css is broken (for IE):
http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/612
(for a month, and much longer then that)
I tried, yet wasn’t able to fix the css myself, and until the issue isn’t resolved, I can not install bbpress (which I very much wish to do).
I know that once bbpress will work for the Hebrew language, many of the Hebrew wordpress community would love to use it, so the request is for more users then me.
Please Please Please, can someone fix it ?
Ok sure. Though bare in mind this is probably a really crappy way of doing it, but hey, I don’t even know php, so give me some credit for trying hehe.
I deleted bb-avatar-upload.php from /my-plugins/ and put it in my wordpress plugins folder. Then at the top of the file I put:
include(‘/path/to/blog/forum/avatar_function.php’);
I created avatar_function.php myself and pasted in the contents of the bbpress config file. The reason I didn’t use the original file is because the follow was causing an error when logging in to the admin panel.
require_once(‘/path/to/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
define(‘wp_bb’,true);
That’s basically it. I’ve checked about every page and everything is working fine, so i’ve no idea if there’s any potential problems doing this, but all I know is it works as far as i can tell.
A default avatar option will be in the next version of the plugin!
Also, Smurfdude, Would you also like to show how you included avatars in WordPress, for the benefit of other users?
W00t! I’ve figured out how to display the avatar next to comments in wordpress. Though the way I have done it i’m worried it’s going to cause problems.
Now if only there was a way to display a default image if the user hasn’t uploaded one. Not that it’s a big deal. Thanks 
@fel64: I’ve downloaded your mod and will take a look at how it works to see about branching my plugin. More thoughts later…
@smurfdude: That is an excellent idea. I’m not sure about how to integrate with WordPress, but I’m guessing it would require a WordPress plugin that pulls the data from the bbPress database.
Unfortunately it does
Are you sure? I can do it because bbPress is using the WP users and I have both setting and using the same cookie. You seriously can’t get this to work? Hmm……
You have both integration plugins installed as well?
Trent
My blog is getting cluttered with tons of useless posts and I’d really like to clean it out, but since I work with multiple authors I don’t want to upset them. I figure a fair compromise is to convert the wordpress posts to threads.
The plugin would be a sort of ‘one step’ process where you run a script or hit a button in the admin panel and whichever wordpress post you select becomes a thread with:
1. the same title
2. roughly the same text (given bbpress’ html capabilities)
3. comments converted to replies
If you use wordpress aswell, I don’t suppose you know of a way to include the avatar next to the users comments? That would complete a perfect avatar mod.
I haven’t got that, and nor do you Trent. Incidentally the bb forums feed you linked to is empty but entitled “Comments on: Forums”, tagline “Just another WordPress weblog”.
it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Unfortunately it does, I reckon that the cause of a problem I’ve been having – when you register in WP, it only calls WP hooks, register in bb and only bb hooks are called. Short of duplicating plugins and changing the hooks/function names etc, I don’t think there’s anything you can do, and that’s obviously a real hassle.
Maybe a trac ticket is in order, to get some coordination between appropriate hooks?
I see you resolved this. Just for others, I found the login code for WordPress and put that in the sidebar as it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.
Trent
If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and WordPress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?
Trent
Phew!! After a whole evenings work and a lot of jumping over hurdles trying to fix things, my wordpress and bbpress are working perfectly. Now what i want is to scrap the wordpress author.php page i created for users profiles, and use the bbpress profile. But that means adding i na few extra fields in edit profile, and displaying them in the profile. Can anyone help with this?
Also can anyone recommend the best avatar plugin that will also work on wordpress comments? Thanks!
Most bbPress might be WordPress users too, but I actually don’t think that so many will use it together with WordPress.
Anyway, both WordPress and bbPress do everything they can in order not to get bloated. This is the job of a WordPress (and bbPress?) plugin.
Hello,
Sorry if this has been resolved already, but I haven’t found the answer 
Is there a directory, viewer, site, post, whatever that lists bbPress themes available round there (similar to WordPress themes viewers-showcases)? I’ve only found like 4 bbPress themes that really work with my current installation (0.8.1) after searching virtually everywhere.
Of course, I can always try and make my own template, but if anyone else is developing and releasing themes, I would like to know and they deserve to be promoted.
Thanks in advance.
