Well if you really want it. I have some time to kill so i think, i will try to do this. Before i start i need to know some detail.

Your wordpress using custom db prefix?

Your bbpress using custom db prefix?

Do you need stats like “Registered Users count” and “Post count”? Or you just want “Most Popular Topics”?

[dkokin]

Is it possible to force new bbpress registrations to become (wordpress) subscribers? I’m a little frustrated with my bbpress subcribers unable to use features such as gravitars while commenting in the wordpress section of my site. How can I get the integration be become truly seamless???? Thank you in advance…

[tgpuckett]

Trent,

Thanks. What I did was edited the importer to use wp_users instead of bb_users and it worked perfectly.

Your wordpress address at the bottom is http:/localhost and wouldn’t it be http://localhost/wordpress/ ? What is the url that you can access wordpress at? I am assuming that it is what I said with http://localhost/wordpress/. If that is the case, these would be the changes:

$bb->wp_home = 'http://localhost/wordpress';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://localhost/wordpress';

As well, if that is the actual URL that you use for wordpress, then these:

$bb->domain = 'http://localhost/wordpress';

$bb->path = '/bbpress/';

Then, you have another problem and need to change to this:

$bb->akismet_key = 'false';

Try that and report back.

It is like: localhost/wordpress/bbpress

[flatworm]

It does not work. I will reinstall entire thing.

Is my config correct for localhost?

I might be enoying, but I demand less, then install on demand.

I learn.

I changed my WP password after installing this thing. Can it cause this problem .

It would require a quick plugin. There is already a plugin to have the recent discussions in bbPress in wordpress, but it would be just another simple plugin using the calls made in statistics.php into a wordpress plugin.

Sorry to get back to you late here. I would imagine that importing from phpBB into bbPress will associate the users into bb_users. Being integrated, bbPress uses wp_users. That might cause some problems. Maybe you can edit the phpBB => bbPress importer to put the users into wp_users versus bb_users. That being said, *****BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST******

You might want to install a test install on your server and try it there first as I am not sure what the consequences of doing it would be. Nothing too painful, but it might make you have to make a few changes to make sure the posts get associated with the right authors! One way to find out! Good luck!

I finally got everything set up at Books In Bed. The Forum is working well too. Tell me what you think of it so far.

The problems I have had are linking to a topic author’s profile page. I can get the “last poster’s” profile page link though.

What I think I need to do is get the author’s “user id” to do this, but for some reason I can’t get it.

Also, I’ve tried everything on this site to get pretty permalinks working (I use GoDaddy). They’ve always worked fine on my WordPress blog, but not on bbpress. The only thing I haven’t done is /bb-admin/rewrite_rules.php because I keep getting an error when I go to that page.

It depends on the amount of work you’re willing to put in as well as the complexity of your WordPress theme (assuming that you’re trying to match your bbPress theme to your WP theme?). Using CSS (which is what you use to style the site) is simple and enjoyable to me, but you may prefer to just get someone else to do it.

Everything is in plain English and the format is simple. Have a look at http://www.w3schools.com/css/

[providencebooks]

I had a custom theme built for my wordpress site and it matches my CubeCart (which is in it’s own directory – wordpress is on site root). I am not proficient with this theme. Should I have someone do this for me or can I do this simply?

[Trent Adams]

You can set the bbPress cookies to whatever you want to integrate with your site’s cookies. It is a matter of defining them in your config.php and can be found at:

Hello boys and excused for my bad English. I want to insert in sidebar of mine blog made in wordpress the total number of the topic of the forum bbpress that they find themselves in the rows statistics.php. How I must make?

[erinther]

Hi,

I want to integrate my (non-wordpress) site with bbpress. It is an easy jobb with punbb: You simply include a single file(common.php) in your pages and then you can use punbb’s functions.(link). Can it be the same thing with bbpress?

I need this because I want to show or hide a part of my web pages based on that my bbpress form’s user is logged in or not .

[chrishajer]

1. No, you can use the same database and that’s actually preferred if you want to integrate things with WordPress in the future.

2. Yes, look inside the config.php and you will see the lines for WordPress integration.

Hello, I am importing phpBB posts into a new bbPress forum, which will be integrated with WordPress. How can I do this with the least bit of headache? Thanks a ton!

[c00l2sv]

I’m trying to integrate bbpress with wordpress using a theme i created. The problem is:

My wp theme uses mootools. BBpress uses prototype. When I’m trying to include my template headers, neither my mootools, nor bbpress prototype functions are working.

Please help me with a solution. Of course, I can just disable thoose functions. But the second questions I got is:

Does bbpress really needs those ajax libs? Can’t those just be replaced with a smaller js function (used only for ajax http request, if this one is the only one bbpress uses so far)?

Please help!

Ohh, I forgot to tell that I’m using the mootools v1. The theme I’m trying to integrate both of them can be examined at http://www.e-stas.net/pm/

UPDATE: I’ve decided to remove my MediaWiki, or better known as the Codex. I merely installed it to play around, customize, and get familiar with it.

The whole reason for removing it is, I really don’t have the time for it. I don’t have time to add anything to it, make a theme for it, and customize it anymore.

As for this article, it’s still a good reference guide as what To-Do for getting your MediaWiki, bbPress, and WP login/registration working together. I hope you find it as useful as I did. Well, I guess that’s it for now. Tata.

Trent,

I have read the FAQs for my hosting account (Linux hosting) at GoDaddy, and it says that the server is mod_rewrite enabled. It is evident from the fact that my wordpress install works fine with custom permalinks. Tried even using the stuff spewed by rewrite-rules.php. Nothing seems to work!

Mirce, I had disabled pretty permalinks for a while in between and I believe that is around when you must have checked the forums.

wyDay, I have kept the .htaccess file for about a day now, no results yet

Should I perhaps try to reinstall bb-press? The only thing I am concerned about is losing my WP data because I believe wp-users is one table that is shared if both are installed in the same database.

I would really like to get my pretty permalinks to work. I have tried both the tricks mentioned in the FAQ, still I am a bit clueless..

[fel64]

Judging by the wordpress system (the documentation is quite good), 10 is default priority and plugins are executed in order of descending priority (so a plugin of 1 comes before 2). In WP the last two arguments are optional.

Preview sounds good – but better yet would be an AJAX thing that means you don’t even have to reload the page when you post.

[laemo]

Hello,

I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.nmimsieee.com/forums/ is the link to my forums.

I am using GoDaddy for hosting. I have set $bb->mod_rewrite = true in my config.php and my forums are in the same database as WordPress.

I recently migrated my forums to my WordPress database, and I did the same at home (I have a server running on my laptop, and I just loaded all the data onto the domain mentioned above).

Permalinks work fine at home on my WAMP setup. However on my domain at GoDaddy, I get an error saying “No input file specified.”

Could anyone please help me out and tell me where am I going wrong? I would really appreciate it.

[Trent Adams]

Before we can can get too much further here, what is the other system that you are hooking the cookies with? What does it use for login cookies? On first glance, if it is wordpress, you can check out:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

It also gives you some cookie settings for possible use with another program.

“As well, if you have an integration with WordPress, bbPress integrates logins perfectly with WordPress.”

That said, if they are in different subdomains you will have to tweak some files (currently, anyway). But it’s two lines that need changing in total, and it’s very simple.

If you’re planning to install WordPress, look for a WP plugin that does whatever you want and logs you in – there are way way more WP plugins than bbPress plugins.

[fel64]

Err … probably! In WordPress you have both hooks and filters, where hooks are there to add actions and filters to change the data going to and leaving the database (like your post – adding stuff to links etc), but they’re almost identical. Never used this in bbPress.

[macwise]

I’ve just created my first plugin. This plugin allows custom profile fields which a user will see upon registration and subsequently when editing their profile page. The values will also show up on the view profile page. This plugin also allows the addition of the profile fields from the wordpress’ profile page. Refer to the instructions in the plugin for simple configuration details.

This plugin was developed in a bbpress/wordpress integrated environment. I’m not sure if this works on bbpress installs only. It wouldn’t hurt to try, however, and I’m sure it can be modified to work with bbpress w/o a wordpress integration.

Please try it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks!
