I’m having the exact same problem. Akismet blocked a lot of replies, which I had to manually search hard in the database to put it back. But via the interface, it shows a nice chart, but no where, where you can see, which posts, topics or user accounts it has blocked.

Last night me and a user, who was blocked, after doing a lot of testing at 2 a.m. discovered that his posts are not appearing in some topics.

I prefer to have Akismet, but I also prefer to see in the backend if posts are being marked as spam, which posts exactly. Just like in WordPress.

There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment.

But does it work out-of-the-box already? It doesn´t for me.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

WordPress themes can’t be used for bbPress without modification, but if it’s a bbPress theme, then yep, just put it in its own directory under my-templates

[xarzu]

I like this theme a lot. I have it for WordPress. I have never installed a new theme on my bbpress. How do you do it? I have figured out that I have to create a new directory at the bbpress root called “my-templates” and I guess I am supposed to put the unzipped file there.

That is about as far as I can tell so far. Any advice?

[Andy Peatling]

For bbPress to continue moving forward it has to start seamlessly integrating with WordPress.

There are only two ways of doing that. Move WordPress so that it uses BackPress, or extract BackPress from bbPress and point it to the code existing in WordPress (if it is integrated). Moving WordPress to use BackPress is a considerable job and would likely need the attention of a completely new version number. In the short term the time it would take isn’t feasible for bbPress (or BuddyPress for that matter) to continue moving forward at a reasonable pace.

The second option is quite possible and has already been done. Despite it not being the truly “ideal” method for the long term it could be used without problems until WordPress moves to BackPress. There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment. If someone was willing to put some time in and extract this code into a plugin (or perhaps a core extension) then the job would almost be done.

The integration / abstraction code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php

The configuration / setup code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-admin.php

I’m happy to help someone along with this.

TinyMCE can work in just about any forum so there should be no reason it wouldn’t work.

As for videoquicktags do you mean like bbcode? It can be done fairly simply I believe but I am not good enough at PHP to deconstruct the bbcode-lite script to make it for you since that script is so heavily optomized.

Edit:

Take a look at HTML purifier. It allows your user to use HTML but strips anything bad. That way you can use the regular YouTube embeds or whatever you like w/o need of a bbcode plugin.

Hi,

Im looking for a experienced php programmer and designer. Ik have build the WordPress site on my own but i would like that somewone looks at it and can make improvements. I am also considering to port my theme to another and fully integrate my bbPress forum.

Reward is dependent on the how much time it is needed.

Requirements:

* Very good knowledge of WordPress

* Very good knowledge of PHP, CSS en HTML

*Good knowledge of SEO en usability

*Someone can give advice rather than just implements

Thanks in advance

The big advantage of bbpress is the easy integration in wordpress. There are much better standalones on the web. For example SMF with which I am currently working.

The thing is that I am looking for a forum which I can easy integrate in buddypress without a bridge. I found it with bbpress. Unfortunately bbpress doesn’t offer a wysiwyg-toolbar and it doesn’t offer many of the features which are standard in other forums.

So in my opinion developers should include a wysiwyg-standard toolbar as it is already standard in wordpress and other features for images and videos.

[Jiyong]

BBpress is a very good forum, but the support in franch (the example for me) is nonexistent. So it’s a problem for the BBPress development in the world. Another problem, lack of consistent WordPress plugin -> bbpress (example : Avatar )

I like bbpress, I hope everything will change for the better …

Hi, 2 problems and I hope you guys can help me out

1. I’m getting this error:

Warning: require_once(/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.2/lib/php’) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

I know that i defined the path incorrectly..i want it to say /htdocs/blog/wp-config.php and NOT htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php

How do i write it without it including the htdocs/forum part. (my blog is on my /blog directory and the forum is in the /forum directory). Sorry, i’m a hug newb but I’d appreciate some guidance.

Problem 2:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-blog-header.php:4) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/merchants/paypal_certified.php on line 741

That is showing up at the top of my blog. Any idea on how to tackle that?

Thanks

Hurrah……. I got it

Dear Sir johnhiler….. After conversation with you i was damn researching on this issue to solve this problem over the internet with your telling points. So after watching the video” http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress” I integrated my one bbpress ( Suppose bbpress01 ) to lonely wordpress. so my first “bbpress01” had been successful integrate with one wordpress and all cookies and users was set. so next i want to merge my other 24 bbpress install into this successful integration.

so my next working was;

i copy paste my bbpress01 rename it to bbpress02. then i went to the bb-config.php of bbpress02 and add these stuff in it:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb2_’;

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Note: database of all 25 bbpress and 1 wordpress was same just changing in tables prefix like bb1_, bb2_ bb3_ to bb25 and add just custom user table code.

you can i also view the screenshot of work here is it.

for wp-config.php: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8249/wpconfig.jpg

for bbpress01 bb-config.php: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6034/bb1su.jpg

for bbpress 02 bb-config.php: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2746/bb2xa.jpg

so here i was successful which i want.

1. share users

2. shared database

3. cookies integration

but “One” thing is still remain

if a user “john” login to my bbpress01. he should also show login status on my other 24 forums.

I think you can understand it. now i need cookies integration for other 24 bbpress.

cookies integration just was set b/w bbpress01 and wordpress. how can we set cookies for all my other remaining 24 forums.

I’ll be great thankful to you if you try to solve my final step and give me the smart solution.

waiting for your reply with great curiosity

[chrishajer]

Thinking out loud about this. A post (reply) must be part of a topic, and a topic part of a forum, right? And right now, here, this post is part of the “forum_id” topic, which is in the “Troubleshooting” forum. So, the information is available in the template file, if it’s being displayed here in a topic. Have you looked in your themes topic.php file to see what provides that information right now? If you’re checking this in WordPress, there will be some additional hoops to jump through, like passing the post ID and globalising some variables, but it seems like the information is available.

What have you tried so far?

[xarzu]

Hi Forum,

In order to perform the syncronization between WordPress and BBPress, I need to know what a specific Forum’s post forum_id is. Where do I find this information?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I think having gotten into plugin development with bbPress, a big part of what it needs is more documentation. One of the great advantages of WordPress is the ease with which additional functionality can be implemented, and bbPress is quite similar in that respect, but actually knowing how to implement it using the native functions available is currently a learnt skill, rather than something you can pick up from reading the Codex. As this thread shows, bbPress has a wide variety of uses and situations, so it’s important for it to be easily adaptable in order to grow.

Not too much to do with how bbPress develops as a codebase, but not too off-topic I hope

[johnhiler]

One more question for you actually: how many users are there in each of your bbPress installs?

[johnhiler]

Ah ok.

1) Your first step is going to be to get all of the installs to use the same users table. Technically, you’ll want to follow steps similar to the ones described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps

However, your job will be greatly complicated by the fact that each install will have overlaps in terms of userid and usernames. For example, userid #5 on bbPress install #1 is going to refer to a different user than userid#5 on bbPress install#2. You’re going to have to address that – this link will help greatly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations

2) Phew, it’s good that they’re all in the same database… hopefully your WordPress install is also in the same database. This will simplify things a bit.

3) Ok, good to know.

I can’t offer custom help – I’m just a volunteer! But I’m glad to try and help you here, so others can learn from the discussion…

Here’s what I would recommend:

1) Your first step would be to backup all of your data.

2) Then, I’d setup a test environment exactly like your current environment and put your data there. That way, you can work on the integration with much less stress.

3) Then I would figure out how to deal with the userid and username overlap described above. This will probably be the hardest part!

4 ) Once you’ve figured that out, you’re all set to integrate all the installs to use the same usertable.

5) Finally once that’s done, you can also integrate the cookies so users only have to signin once!

If this sounds waaay too hard, you may want to hire a consultant or expert to help ya out! Here’s a list of people who are available:

[bblover]

here we go…

yes sir,

1. my database of 25 forums and 01 wordpress is same name. but different table prefix. but not sharing user table: No it’s not true; if you sign up from one bbpress install with the name of “John” then you can’t login other 24 bbpress installs. we really need it.

2. my bbPress installs is not sharing a user table. also tell me how it’s possible. yes they are in same database.

3. I’m using bbpress Version 1.0.2 and wordpress Version 2.8.5

Another request: is it possible to contact with you with IM?

[johnhiler]

I’m sorry to say this, but integrating your 25 installs is probably going to require more work than filling in a setting page.

A few questions for you:

1) You have 25 bbPress installs, and they are currently not sharing a user table… is that right? As in, if I sign up as “john” on one install… can I sign in with that username and password on another one of your bbPress installs?

2) If your bbPress installs are not sharing a user table… do you know if all of the user tables are in the same database?

3) Finally, what versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[bblover]

Dear sir….

I think you are not complete understand my question….. rethink about it…. when i complete successful integration of wp-bb and finally go to the admin panel of wp after activation of bbpress integration plugin then it is asking me to give bbpress url of one of my forums like bbpress01-of-25…

click following linkh to see screenshot:

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/2820/wpadmin.gif

so, where i put my other 24 bbpress forums url in this field? I’ve bit knowledge of coding .. so tell me how can i integrate these 25 forums with one wordpress.. provide me simple and clear solution.

another question……

tell me clearly about user shared login…… i want to share user logins between my 25 forums…… when one user register to my first forum i.e. bbpress01 then he can also use this id on my other 25 forums where he no need more registration for other 24 forums.

I’ll very thankful to you if you solve this problem… i really love you 😡

[jurasiks]

Why BBpress should integrates with WordPress?

I think we can make bbpress – standalone CMS with only key features.

Who will be in charge now with this project?

[johnhiler]

This is absolutely possible. I wrote a bit about it here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-multiple-forums

I now have about 10 bbPress installs all working, and they’re both integrated with two separate WordPress installs. So this is definitely possible. You just need to make sure that all the installs are using the same users table.

The bigger issue is: do any of your installs share usernames? For example, a “John” registered on one site and on another one? That will be tricky to manage – a path is described nicely here… look for the section on “user_id” conflicts:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations#post-28701

Good luck!

[bblover]

dear all coders,

I’m lover of bbpress so I was working on 25 different bbpress forums and one wordpress. Now i want to integrate theses stuff to each other. but i think one wordpress only can integrate with one bbpress forum. but i can’t face this situation because i’m working on my forums preceding 4 months. if i fail to integration these 25 forum with one wordpress then all my effort will go to the hell. it’s humble request to all developers to solve this situation and save my work and give me the smart solution.

Note: I don’t want to install 25 wordpress to integrate 25 forums.

Remember: 25 forums integration with one wordpress

Please Please Help me

It is very crucial situation for me … tell me how to handle it.
