I believe this is only possible with the wordpress K2 theme.

I have done all the Buddypress integration and login is great and my buddypress groups can post, etc. But I have found no integration (widgets or whatever) to show bbPress on WordPress sidebars and most importantly I have no idea how to get a link button integrated into WordPress MU (my other addins put one there on the top menu for me.

If I can avoid another night hacking the templates it wold be great since the integration already took 2 days!

Thanks

Dukessa: unfortunately, _e() (and __()) attempts to translate the string it is given – which means that if you try to call “_e(topic_time())”, it will be interpreted as “_e(“August 12, 2009″)” (or whatever topic_time() outputs). The solution is to put translation functions inside the topic_time() function. Note however, that that would indeed translate “August” into “Augusti”, but it won’t fix the order (it’ll still go “month day, year”) nor the capitalization (in Swedish, months are spelled with lowercase first letter unless in the beginning of a sentence). In WordPress, the order problem is solved by an admin setting for the date format, but the capitalization issue remains.

I hope that explains it. If I have the time some day, I’ll try to submit a patch for it to be fixed in the next version.

Is it possible to convert bbPress users database to WordPress?

[johnhiler]

Sounds like a classic integration issue.

Start a new thread with the details… make sure to include the version numbers of both bbPress and WordPress, along with whatever techniques you’ve used to integrate the two!

Hello,

I’m pretty new in this BBpress forum thing… I have recently integrated it in my wordpress site. Anyway my problem is that when I put description in my Forum’s title it doesn’t wrap meaning my table expands until the whole paragraph is done which I don’t like.

Here is my forum site so you have an idea what I mean — http://heywhereyou.com/forum

How do I fix this???

Much thanks!

For me, this is why I’d love to see a BBpress version that came with “Everything in it out of the box”, and another version that functioned identically, but was a PLUG IN for WPMU. Oh, I’d like to see WP have MU support in the core, so that one could just “tick a box” and it would be in.

In other words, I’m looking for a COMPLETE social forum portal that one can just plug in and it works.

As far as I can tell, only SMF + various Portal plug ins do that. I haven’t made a choice yet, because I love wordpress.. and the *look* here of BBpress forums is interesting. I’m just not a skilled enough hacker to get all the bits to fit together properly, and threads like this only confirm the confusion to non-hard-core developers, who have all probably gone with Expression Engine anyway.

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the tips. I followed the steps outlined in the above string, and I tried new cookies, but it’s still not working. I’ve pasted this code in the bb-config.php $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; too and it’s still not working. Any more ideas? I appreciate the help.

Hi yangers101,

i migrate my wordpress & bbpress installation yesterday to wordpress mu & bbpress. After the migration i have also problems with the cookie integration. The same problems i have 2 months ago for the normal cookie integration.

This article about the integration of buddypress, wpmu and bbpress helps me a lot:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress

For me – it was necessary to try new secret cookie keys. I changed all keyphrase in wp-config und bb-config:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

The registration works like for wordpress, the user can change the password afterwards.

If you change this function bbpress will not work with wordpress

[Olaf Lederer]

I think you can’t compare both forums, bbpress is still in an early stadium.

bbpress is very cool because it’s very easy to combine bbpress with wordpress (and buddypress)

EDIT: and bbpress is more spamproof (at least for me)

[collmonster]

Yes, from within WordPress 2.8.4 I found the plugin and did the automatic install.

Is this not how I should do it? Should I just upload the files to a /forum directory and install from there?

How can i then link it to my main menu on my wordpress blog?

Thanks!

[yangers101]

I have the latest versions of WordPressMU, Buddypress, and bbpress installed on my site. Each component works fine individually, but I can’t get the logins to integrate. When I login to WordPress and I switch over to bbpress, I still need to login again. I have verified my cookie/salt/auth settings in both wp and bb config.php files. It’s driving me crazy. I’ll PAY someone to help me hack this. I’m probably just missing one simple step, but I can’t figure out what it is. Please help! Thanks!!!

[yangers101]

I tried the link, but still need help integrating the logins. When I login to the site via WordPress and then switch over to the bbpress part of my site, it asks me to login again. I am using WordPress MU 2.8.4a , bbpress 1.0.2, Buddypress 1.0.3. Please help!!!!

[chrishajer]

I am 99% certain all the good theme names are already taken, at least for WordPress. I say look out the window and find some inspiration and name the theme something not too literal.

BTW, the theme looks nice.

Are you installing bbPress as a plugin under your WordPress?

[collmonster]

Hello.

I just installed the bbpress to my wordpress site. I was just setting it up, and int he settings it had a line where you could set the url of the install. I mistakenly thought I could use this to change it to a shorter version.

I was on: http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-admin/ (I think)

and I changed to http://www.mydomain.com/forum

Now its broken. All I get is a 404 page from my wordpress site.

I tried deleting and reinstalling but it won’t work!

Any idea how I can fix this?

Please help!!!

Thanks

I’m having trouble integrating logins for WordPress, Buddypress and bbpress. I have done so for WordPress and Buddypress, but when I installed bbpress last, and followed the instructions in this video: http://dotsub.com/view/7cb6fb61-2fa0-4d6d-a090-257b0be87a50 it still didn’t work. Please help! thanks!

[mothership]

We’ve carried out the install and all is working well – http://piedpiper.org.nz

Thank you for a great product

[eclipsenow]

I’m wondering if I can use BBpress as a “blog” with the latest “articles” showing up as the “Latest posts” do here in BBpress.

So can I set up BBpress set to have a Navigation bar along the top with typical “About us” pages, “How you can help”, etc? (The usual top 5 to 10 pages you have on blog or introduction to your website etc). Any other ideas?

Then everything else can just be in the forums.

Also, because BBpress is a VERY stripped back forum with lots of plugins, does the plugin for email notifying still work? (Getting an email any time someone replies). Can I set ALL users to getting that?

Can I as the Admin set the “Tags/categories” that posters can then select from?

Is there an auto-backup plugin of some sort? (I hate database stuff).

What else do I need to install to use BBpress as my main community portal / blog (without wordpress).

[mothership]

We’re about to install and integrate bbpress with an existing WordPress installation. We put the WordPress files in a ‘wordpress’ subdirectory when installing to keep the httdocs directory clean. Will this affect integration in any way? If need be, we can move this back.

Ideally, we would like to have WordPress in a /wordpress directory and bbpress in a /forum directory with WordPress accessible via the root, and bbpress via /forum.

Also, on a slightly different note; how have people found integration with 1.0.2 and 2.8.4?

[mpesgt01]

If we use bbPress as a forum… and WordPress as a blog… and that we can add a way that the members can upload photos to their own profile… we would then almost get a social software/php script and that would be awsome !!!

I am not a coder (i’m a web designer) but I do know that it can be possible to create this plug in.

I just saw your next look, the bbpress 2.0 and with that plugin, a profile album, it would be it !!

Than maybe later another plugin for same thing, but videos (either upload or grab via youtube), but this can be invented later… photos first !!

Any chances ???

I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around

For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.
