@ wlanguide

Wordpress 3.0 beta is out already. Working on that release.

Thanks for the help guys, just installed it on a clean install and followed all the steps in the tutorial mentioned above made it a succes. Setting topic to solved.

[wlanguide]

So, wordpress 3.0 is to be released? Good news!!

[Xevo]

@ Gautam

Will try that tutorial and follow it to the letter with a clean install later.

@ GerikG

First thing I tried, no luck.

@ Kevin Muldoon

My downloaded zip file only contained bb-config-sample.php. I have my folder writeable, so that not the problem either. I haven’t deinstalled buddypress yet, will try integrating bbpress with a clean install later. And to remind you, I’m trying to intergrate it with 3.0, not with 2.9.2.

If anyone else has a solution, please let me know.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m always wary of website with premium themes that refuse to show screen shots or link to a demo; or that are selling them from a website thats just a rushed out wordpress install (complete with the “Hello World!” blog post still being the only one there).

I’m not doubting the validity of the theme or it’s value, it may be awesome and totally worth the money, it’s just I’d rather see the theme itself than a text based flash movie telling me that it’s great.

no wait until matt make bbpress to wp plugin, but now you can use wp function in bbpress using this method

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration

or other method in this forum, cek sub forum theme

[jc99]

Is it possible to call bbpress from a page in wordpress?

[jc99]

What do I assign for User Role Maps in bbpress wordpress integration…

WordPress Administrator: I assume this is Keymaster

But the rest I am unsure of….

WordPress Editor, Author and Contributer: Moderator?

WordPress Subscriber: Member?

Is there a place I can read up on the different roles (Key Master, Adminstrator, Moderator Member)

Hi gerikg,

this post could help you:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

1. Make a custom page

create a page discussion.php in the root forum folder

add require_once(‘./bb-load.php’); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..

2. Put in the code for the Latest discussions from the main page (?)

or

3. Make your own sql query – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

Uh. Yes. I can read, and I DID read that, thanks. As I said…

“Nothing I had read previously said that I COULD use the same database as WordPress, __or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases__.” (emphasis added)

So, yes. I realize there was another solution to the problem. I just chose to solve it the one way.

[gerikg]

The website states

“There are lots of articles on the web stating that bbPress and WordPress have to be installed into the same database in order for the two scripts to integrate correctly. This is not true (though perhaps it was in the past). “

But it’s great that it worked.

[robynh]

Thanks for the tutorial link, Gautam.

Actually the problem ended up being that I was using a separate database for the forums, as nothing I had read previously said that I could use the same database as WordPress, or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases.

So yeah. Reinstalled using my WordPress database, and everything is working now.

Thanks again!

you should still be able to add a keymaster in 2.92. It’s no different. If it doesn’t then you need to check your cookie salts and keys again.

The installation does not make the bb-config.php file. It should already be uploaded, all the installation does is update it with the info you add during the installation process (as long as you make it writeable, if not, you need to update it manually).

Have you uninstalled buddypress completely i.e. deactivated the plugin, removed the tables and deleted the template pack?

[gerikg]

Add

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

to your .htacess file. By default GoDaddy uses php4

bah I should add pictures to my tutorial!

[gerikg]

First, clear your cache and you should have access again. If that doesn’t work then it’s a deeper issue.

[chrishajer]

I think Gautam and I and gerikg and some others realized we don’t need any outside help to move the project forward, at least for the time being. There’s a lot we can do without having the keys to the whole thing.

Several people have mentioned a fresh face for bbPress.org, and it’s long overdue. Sam created one a while back, and matveb created a mockup: http://bit.ly/8Vfecq

The talk at the time, and I can’t recall if it was in email or in the IRC chats, was that we didn’t want to stick bbPress.org with a new design, because WordPress.org was getting a new design, then bbPress.org would be out of date (or dated) again.

So, the theme/template here will wait until after the WordPress.org redesign.

In my opinion though, it would just be window dressing on a project that’s just limping along.

[chrishajer]

bbPress.org is just a WordPress site with a bbPress installation. You have everything you need in the bbPress releases to create your own fork or distribution or CMS engine. Why would you need FTP/DB access to create a project like that? All you need is the bbPress code right?

The person who has access to the database and FTP or server is Matt, or someone who works for him. I believe you’ve already gotten in contact with him.

I read everyday the post (negative thoughs) about the future of bbPress. But I don’t understand the motivation behind these posts.

We are the community – users of bbPress, WebWorkers, Developers, etc. I think it is possible to get more drive to the bbPress Project when we work together.

One thing I can help the project is in the developement of the new template …

We can make an Poll about an possible new face of bbpress.org!?

Suggest 1: Sneak Peak from Sam: https://bbpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/forum-front-page.png

Suggest 2: Example for a new Feature Page: http://matiasventura.com/bbpress/features.htm

Suggest 3: A more modern theme ala BuddyPress.org: http://www.buddypress.org

I believe I am an editor at the bbPress.org WordPress blog. That means I don’t have access to the Appearance tab (to change themes) or to Plugins or Settings. I have access to Pages and Posts so I can made additions or modifications to content there, but I can’t change the design or anything like that.

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

Yury, if you’re not seriously talking about creating a fork, but gave this topic a title like that “to get people’s attention” then you’re trolling, which is not productive.

Right now, we have the bbPress.org forums, which are moderated daily by me. I help out with solutions where I can, or try to pull information out of users who post of problems with very few details, to possibly help some other thoughtful soul who might come along and be able to help.

I don’t touch integration problems at all (“when I log in to bbPress, I am automatically logged out of WordPress” anyone?) because integration is far too complicated with too much voodoo required (PHP5? 777 permissions? pasting in keys and cookie domains that may or may not make a difference?) for someone who just wants to install a forum where their WordPress users can be logged in automatically. For that reason, and a couple others (functional integration [ability to use things like wp_list_pages()] and theme integration (“I want my bbPress to just be a page inside my WordPress site” or “how do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?”)) I support the decision to make bbPress a WordPress plugin.

Honestly though, I’m not sure how that will work with custom post types coming in 3.0. Justin Tadlock was playing with an idea that used custom post types to create a forum structure, and it looked pretty neat. He lost that work in a hard drive crash or something, but he mentioned it didn’t take long to do.

For those who want bbPress as standalone, please feel free to download the versions that exist right now. Download them daily, in case development ceases at some point. Right now, we’re continuing to fix bugs in the existing versions. After all the bugs are fixed it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.

And with a fork of bbPress you’d arguably have more control (heck, you can fork it now with one of the existing versions, create your own website and distribute the software) but you’d be hard pressed to match the community we have here. It may not be big, but it’s dedicated, and if you’re interested in seeing bbPress continue this is the best place to be.

This is a good tutorial (with screenshots) for integration – http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress

[kevinjohngallagher]

In fairness Yuri, while I’m unhappy at the way Matt has left bbPress, he is incredibly busy and recieves a crazy amount of email due to him being the effective face of the company.

Maybe you should have waited for a response instead of hounding him.

who are this people and why we can’t find them?

“We” is “you” mate. I used this thing called Google (or at least that is what the kids are calling it) and found this:

… documentation team has been put together comprised of Tom39Away, pmall, justintadlock, and Nightgunner5 …

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/documentation-team

https://bbpress.org/blog/2009/12/2009-12-09-meetup/

Things with bbPress aren’t great. No-one is pretending they are. But they’ve not been great for well over a year now, and frankly its not going to change anytime soon. Lets just focus on getting 1.1 (or 1.0.3 – not sue when people started using different numbers) out the door, dealing with all the fall out of WordPress3.0 not integrating; and then we can take stock and see where we are.

Hounding Matt, or anyone from automattic, isn’t going to make the smallest difference I’m afraid.

Hi Tom,

thanks for your new version of the buddybar-in-bbpress plugin. It works in my installation.

I only get this error message because of commenting “out” the bp_adminbar_blogs-menu:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::get_blog_prefix() in /kunden/199620_87439/webseiten/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php on line 193

1. bp_buddybar.php

/*add_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6 ); */

2. bp-core-adminbar.php

/* $blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $current_blog->id );*/

Is there another way to deactivate the “new blog” function? I use the WordPress Single Version 2.9.2 – and there is no function for new blogs.

Greetings

Markus

This tutorial also explains integration for WordPress 3.0 – http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress (WP 3.0 also has cookie salts). Haven’t dug into this yet, maybe will do later.

[deadlyhifi]

There’s a plugin to get the buddybar into bbP – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

I updated it to work with buddypress 1.2

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddybar-for-bbpress/page/5#post-40993

It requires deep integration.
