Hello everyone,

I just wrote a guide to basically achieve what the title says. Two reasons:

(1) There isn’t a vb4-to-bbPress converter out there making the process more difficult then it should be

(2) The answers are out there if you’re willing to search for hours like I did I decided to piece together all my research into a single guide

Credit, of course, goes to the generous souls who created the vB-to-phpBB and the phpBB-to-bbPress converters, which are both required.

I’m still working on the integration with WordPress part which should be up soon. If you guys see any errors, please let me know.

Hope this helps!

Edit: Forgot the link! http://www.ericm.ca/2010/articles/vbulletin-4-to-bbpress-and-wordpress-integration

I received this error

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-moderators/#post-4890

Obviously it’s not for 1.0

Can someone update it?

I changed line 182 to: $tmp_user = new wp_users($user_id);

but I got a new error

Warning: array_shift() [function.array-shift]: The argument should be an array in /homepages/wordpress/forum/my-plugins/forum-moderators/forum-moderators.php on line 184

If you guys have integrated setup, then if you login from WordPress side and then try to access bbPress dashboard you are redirected back to the frontpage. Just login from bbPress side and you will be able to pass through

Michael and Noel,

Dudes, we are all so greatly apprecaitive of the time and effort you’re throwing into this. And we do apprecaite that not everythings a simple bug to fix, and of course there will be some legacy stuff/hacks to deal with… But I hope you don’t take offence when we point out things like the homepage not working for days on end (why not roll back??) or:

These pages haven’t been styled yet – register, login, profile edit, views, favorites, post-edit, search

I mean, we all accept bugs, heck we’re happy to find them so we can contribute to fixing them. But to release a theme without even bothering to style 8 (minimum) out of the 27 theme files is really starting to make us all look a bit amateur. (Thats 30% btw)

These 2 links are broken (which are in forum’s footer):

https://bbpress.org/about/privacy/

https://bbpress.org/about/gpl/

I wonder, with all due respect, how cool this sort of thing would be over at WordPress.org?

Please let us know if we can help, we want to help!!

Hello Community

I have a small problem after intalling wordpress 2.9.2 and bbpress 1.0.2.

I’ve installed the bb-integration plugin on my wordpress and configured the necessary things. I had also check the keys and salt’s in bb-config and wp-config twice and checkt out the support forum here but couldnt find any solution.

The Problem: I can register on wp without any problem and login with this user into the bbpress forum. BUT if i make a login on WP the BB doesnt know something about that. I know that this has to bee a small cookie-problem but i cant find the “bug” . Does anyone has a hint please?

My Cookies
———-
domain wordpress_logged_in_THEKEY /imgipress/ VALUE1
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/wp-content/plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/wp-admin VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/my-plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/bb-plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/bb-admin VALUE2
domain wordpress_test_cookie /imgipress/ VALUE2

domain – is always the same string
THEKEY – is always identically the same
VALUE1 – is a combination of my username%something%something
VALUE2 – is a combination of my username%something%something
but VALUE2 is always identically the same
[code]

What’s the problem? should the cookiepath always be the same? I dont think so .. but whats the Problem? 🙂

Thank you for any hint!

Xarzu,

I am a total newbie with bbpress and want to integrate to my wp 2.9.2 self-hosted site.

Can you publish a short description of exactly what you did to make yours work properly, either here or you can register on our site and I’ll contact you directly?

Thank you SO much!

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It’s a standalone software. Go to bbpress/ and you will access your brand new installation.

[ikidunot]

my website is http://www.ravegrounds.com

when ever I log in through wordpress, I am not logged in bbpress. and when I do try to log in bbpress, I get logged out of wordpress. Any ideas as to whats causing this?

[hamfest]

I have been using wordpress 2.9.2 successfully. however when I installed bbpress in a sub directory under my wordpress install, it takes me through the install successfully and says everything is complete. It does not show up under settings in my WP admin area. And when i type in the address that i used for my bbpress install it takes me to a page that says

Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

everything i do takes me back to bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

[roshan_jl]

Hello Friends,

I am new user of bbPress and familiar with wordpress.

Is it possible to integrate bbpress with php website? I want same login for both website.

Thank you in advance.

[asorethumb]

What happens when you try to log in to bbPress? Can you still log in to WordPress?

[Gautam Gupta]

I think you can add a theme options page just like you do in WordPress, add a functions.php and then hooks to make a new admin page with settings.

[chrishajer]

No plugin that I am aware of. Hack away.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

I have a handful of bbpress posts I’d like to import into my wp install as posts.

Is there a plugin or easy way to do this? Otherwise I’ll export the data from bbpress, hack the fields, and reimport to wp.

Thanks in advance.

[Paulo Faustino]

Thank’s a lot everyone. The forums are working really nice

If anyone is interested in seeing it in action, here’s: http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums

Thanks a lot.

[chrishajer]

Paulo, all the code does is echo the name of the site. You can remove it.

[Paulo Faustino]

If i remove the <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>, things apparently are working well. There’s any problem by removing that?

[Gautam Gupta]

It looks like the 2 plugins bbpress-integration and wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration are conflicting. You must delete any one of them via FTP.

I was installing some plug ins for BBPress on my wordpress.org site which is agbellcommunity.com. After I installed the BBPress Cookie integration plug in I activated it and it took me out to the log in page now when I go to log in I get the following:

How do I fix this?

Thanks

[Damien]

I’d recommend the ‘user photo’ plugins for bbpress and wordpress, tried the rest and that’s the best. (imo)

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Noel,

Thanks very much for commenting. Lack of communication is one of the biggies that drives us nuts on this board.

It’s great that you and Mike are working on the theme; and we all appreciate that not all bugs are as simple as they look. I think we can all appreciate that rolling things out to get them going is fine too, especially as users in a real world environment will pick up more bugs that peer testing – but I also think it’s ok for us to suggest that the HOMEPAGE being broken for 2-3 days is probably a bit… uncool.

With no communication at all, we’re never sure if these random bugs are due to theme updates or software updates. We’re not sure whether pages are using wordpress or bbPress or hacks of bbPress pages to create specific views (like plugins used to); and that means that most of the time we just don’t report bugs.

As always, thanks for your time.

[Damien]

The theme is based on a few functions lifted from classipress which provide a profile management page via wp theme pages rather then some god awful admin edit page.

As for bbress, I just re-coded all profile links to point at the wp profile, like

<a href="/people/<?php post_author(); ?>"><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></a>

I redirect registrations back to wp and I use the same DB for the forums and wordpress, so I just run some sql here and there pulling what I need displayed in wordpress from the forum and vice versa.

I need to put the bb profile info such as last posts, subscribed etc etc into my wordpress author pages, I think it should be possible – everything else has worked eventually.

[kevinjohngallagher]

<title>

<?php

if( function_exists(‘bb_title’))

{

bb_title();

} else {

wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’);

}

?>

<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>

</title>

[Paulo Faustino]

Can anyone help me exclude the wp_title if there’s a function calling bb_title?

[Kevin Muldoon]

Kevin John – I wasn’t aware that you could use an if statement like that on wordpress. Good to know for future.
