Hi gerikg,

can you post a link to your forum? Evtl. we can test it together.

On my forum i have at first also a blank page – there it was a problem with two plugins (one in bbPress, one in WordPress).

@psycheangels – thanks very much for the information. I eventually found my way to noease’s beautiful iNOVE WordPress theme at http://www.neoease.com/themes/ and the iNOVE look-alike BBPress template from Eric Barnes’s at http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/inove-for-bbpress/. I also found a really excellent suite of programs developed around the Carrington theme, with templates for WP, bbPress and mobile too. Really excellent all of them. But you know what, I still would prefer a plugin that allowed me to integrate and run bbPress in my own developed Thesis WP theme. That would be my choice in a perfect world.

[chrishajer]

No, that does not make it impossible. It’s completely unrelated. Start a new topic with your issue and give as much detail as possible.

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin.

[oli_75]

Hello,

I just uploaded the latest version of bbpress. When I click on install I receive a message “no valid header for plugin (Das Plugin hat keinen validen Header.”).

I am running WordPress 2.9.2 installed at hosteurope.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe someone can give me an idea what’s going wrong here.

Thanks,

Oliver

Does having separate WordPress and BBpress databases make calling a WP header from a BB page impossible?

[Anonymous User]

Oh … so stupid…!

in WordPress my German language file is named de_DE.mo in bbPress the language file is named de.mo. After the deep integration bbPress seems to search for a file named de_DE.mo in ‘my-languages’.

So just renaming the language files made my day

Hi gerikg,

i saw your post about your problems with the integration of the BuddyBar in bbPress – (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-default-theme-for-bbpress). I found it after a short research in Google – because I’ve the same problems yesterday.

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'bp_core_admin_bar_css' was given in /homepages/0/00/htdocs/wpbpbbp/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid call

But … I think I have an “hack” for you – I changed a few lines of code in my installation and now it seems to work.

These was “myWay”:

1. Deep Integration between WordPress and bbPress

2. Plugins on bbPress: buddybar-in-bbpress

3. Edit bp_buddybar.php – I only comment out the following lines

/* add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js', 1); */

4. Edit bp-core-adminbar.php

Here I’ve a error code because auf “$wpdb” – so I commet out:

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

5. header.php in my theme

I put the Stylesheet-Link to my header.php file.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.mysteria3000.de/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

…

No the best solution – but it works for me.

Thank you all,

Its nice to listen that lot of friends need lot of plugins. But I’ve not lot of money to develop these plugins, developers need money to work on. From my budget I’m starting to develop 5 plugins from my developers. Which I’ve decided after lot of thinking.

I need your comments…. so that should I start work on these plugins?

No. 1 :- Social Connect

With this plugin; users can register to your forums via their some social networking accounts like Facebook, OpenID, Twitter, Myspace etc. My developers says its not possible to fetch email id of a user who will register from fb or like other social networking sites, but it will be possible to show the link of a register user in his profile. where we can trace a user that from where he/she came.

No. 2 :- Better Moderation Suite ( Remake)

There are some issues with this old plugin. we will fix it soon and add more fields in it. second we will add two more section in this plugin. these are about moderators

a) simple moderator,

if anyone is running one board ( one bbpress ) then he/she can assign a user as simple moderator for his/her work.

b) Super Moderator,

if any one is running more then one bbpress installation suppose

http://www.example.com/forums-01 ( one bbpress about hockey discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-02 ( one bbpress about football discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-03 ( one bbpress about dance discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-so-on ( one bbpress about other discussion )

then super moderator can handle these 4 fourms ( 4 integrated bbpress ) from one panel.

its means . a simple moderator can handle just http://www.example.com/forums-01 ( one bbpress about hockey discussion )

and super moderator can handle other 4 or more forums discussion.

there are more functions will be add in this plugin which i don’t want to disclose right now . Because I need your thoughts that what should add more functionality in this plugin.

No. 3 :- BBMI ( BBpress Multiple Integration)

Integration of One wordpress with multple bbpress

Read again my second plugin. Then you’ll understand the requirement of this plugin called BBMI.

Its not possible right now to create multiple forums like Worpdress MU, but if someone want more then one forums ( bbpress installation ) for more topics then its not possible to integration these multiple forums with one WordPress and each other.

Because if you’ll successful in integrate more forums ( shared user table, and user meta plus shared database… which not a big deal) then you’ll definitely fail in the integrate of cookies.

“Because now integration is possible just for one bbpress and one wordpress”

Not for multiple bbpress with one wordpress. ( Think about it, isn’t cool? )

Note: some settings and plugin will involve to run this idea. and i also need your ideas.

No. 4 :- Link Protection

About this plugins, if register user paste a link to your forums via (post or topic). Then the guest cannot view this link till after the completion of his/her registration to your forums.

No. 5 :- BBpress Statistics

If you’ll see the _ck_ plugin

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/

its all about bbpress statistics it not tells about tracking report about users online, where they came from, what keywords they use to find your website, what referral sites they use, first visit, last visit, traffic detail, monthly weekly report, duration of user’s stay on ur site blah blah blah, but my plugin will be a comprehensive plugin for your site to track traffic reports.

these are five plugins. now i’m starting work on them. All will go from my own pocket which is a really big amount, but if someone is interested to make a donation to me and wanna support me ( if he like my idea and plugins ) then I’ll post my contact detail in my next post.

After that I want to make more plugins if I’ll get your support and positive feedback.

See you again, same place, same post but soon some other time

Stay Connect………………

Regards,

bb-lover

Great Examples … I think these examples would be great in the documentation for bbPress.

@PubDirLtd

You can use this in your browser without having to download a client.

http://webchat.freenode.net/

Just join the #bbpress channel. Right now, there are no chats scheduled that I know of, but the channel is always available and there are sometimes people in there. #wordpress is much more active.

[Terence Milbourn]

@johnhiller — I just read that back in December “Matt Mullenweg dropped the bombshell yesterday in IRC: bbPress, the often forgotten forum option, could become a WordPress plugin in the near future”. I’ll have to get myself an IRC client and start participating. Any idea of timescales?

@chrishajer — I didn’t mean to come off too strong on that but on re-reading what I wrote, it does read that way. I apologize for that. And if its Matt Mullenweg that needs to have the benefit of my help and guidance I will be sure to let him have it… 8^) In the meantime, while I wait for commonsense to prevail, which I now know ‘appears’ to be happening (see comment above), I’ll content myself with creating my own template to match my current Thesis/WP theme. What joy.

[dangerbronco]

Woohoo! This plugin works! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

Anyone who is having trouble with single sign-on, deep integration and cookies w/ wp2.9 and bb1.0. Here is your answer. Make sure you configure it in the settings. Thanks for the help.

[gerikg]

Are you using bbpress 0.9?

[dangerbronco]

Also, I have tried this plugin, which, hasn’t worked for me either. I’m guessing its not compatible with 2.9. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration/

[dangerbronco]

Why not just force all registrations and log ins through the WordPress side?

Well, when I include the deep integration, If I log in through the wordpress side, I won’t have access to the bb-admin. Is there a way around this?

@PubDirLtd – there’s no need to say anyone here is unconcerned or has forgotten anything. Everyone knows what a pain in the butt it is to integrate WordPress and bbPress for logins, functions or theme integration.

Since you’re new here you might want to read up a bit on the discussion of making bbPress a WordPress plugin. With custom post types in WordPress 3.0, it looks like it will be even easier to make bbPress into a WordPress plugin. I’m all for that.

The discussion started here with making bbPress a WordPress plugin:

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

There was relevant discussion about it in the forums too:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/future-of-bbpress

> if the developers of BBPress can’t make it that simple

Right now, there are no developers.

The man in charge of the project is Matt Mullenweg and you might be better served addressing him directly with your concerns, to ensure they’re heard: http://ma.tt/contact/

[gerikg]

http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/ these are the steps I’ve taken, works good so far.

[dangerbronco]

Hi. I have read the posts saying that deep integration has issues with cookies and authentication when logging in through the wordpress login, on wp versions 2.7 and higher (I am using 2.9). I am wondering if anyone has been able to do this, and what steps were taken. I can’t just “login through the bbpress side” because the wp-authenticate hook in my auth plugin won’t run. I’ve been racking my brain on this one and any help would be appreciated.

[dangerbronco]

Does anyone know a workaround for this? I have a wordpress plugin that syncs user data from an external user database when on the wp-authenticate hook. Unfortunately, this hook isn’t called when I login through the bbpress side.

[zaerl]

I am new to BBPress, and I have to say that compared with BuddyPress installation/integration, which is that simple WordPress plugin, BBPress has a long way to go.

Whereas, it might surprise you to know, most people (WAY more people) in the world just want WordPress to load a plugin right into their existing theme and off they go.

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It uses the WordPress core functions but it’s a separate project. You can’t compare the installation of a WordPress plugin with the installation of bbPress. Also you can’t compare the communities cause the two software are completely different. One is a blog engine. One is a BBS engine.

[Terence Milbourn]

@chrishajer – I thought some more about what you wrote regarding the WordPress plugin idea.

I imagine, having worked with BBPress for so long, you guys are no longer concerned or have forgotten just what a royal pain in the butt it is to set up. Most of the pain could be avoided if it had been scripted and become a simple CPanel/Softaculous install, for example, but it hasn’t.

I am new to BBPress, and I have to say that my first impression is, compared with BuddyPress installation/integration (which is already that simple WordPress plugin), BBPress has a looooong way to go.

And I suspect, one of the reasons why there is such a big difference in the size of the respective communities, is that most of you guys don’t mind/quite like to fiddle with the technical stuff.

Haven’t you got the engine room steering the ship? Where are the ‘marketing guys’ out there finding out what the people really want, and steering the development, rather than what interests the coders?

It might surprise you to know (well I know it would surprise the coders), most people (WAY more people in the world), just want THEIR WordPress to load a plugin right into THEIR existing theme, and off they go.

Badabing badaboom!

I can’t see how, if the developers of BBPress can’t make it that simple, and also a darn site more compatible with WordPress itself, how its ever going to survive. Really.

And with the release of the merged v3.0 not far away, is that opportunity going to be grabbed or lost?
