didn’t know that there is also a wordpress forum, is this a WP plugin?

[eclipsenow]

This *screams out* the need for an integrated portal. Automattic could really take over the field if the new WPMU had buddypress and bbpress as one-click plugin installs that <i>just worked</i>.

Email me my user name at gmail.com Send me FTP and add a login for me. I’ll take a look.

I’ve just translated bbPress 1.0.2 to Spanish_Spain (es_ES). It’s available in this direct link, where you can find (in the zip file) the .mo and the .po files.

Acabo de traducir bbPress 1.0.2 al Español de España (es_ES). Está disponible en este enlace directo, donde encontrarás (en el fichero zip) los ficheros .mo y .po.

I tried that but it still does not work . I have these versions: WPMU 2.8.4a, Buddypress 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2. Any more ideas please?

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate BBPress with a few WordPress installs that all share the same user table database.

All is working fine except for adding:

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in the bb-config.php file, no matter what I add here, the cookiehash is never changed using BBPress 1.0.2, is this a bug have I missed something?

[Fernando Tellado]

I’m translating and modifying the theme, you can see it in my forum: http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/

I’ve made some changes to adecuate it to bbPress 1.x (core code adaptations to new functions). I’ve changed some css too, reordered the front page, added the description to the style.css and a screenshot and a lot more. When it is finished I’ll publish it.

[jeffhiggins]

Ok thanks. I will do that. I assume that there is no way to actually allow usernames with /’s though? I’m somewhat experienced with WordPress, but I’m definitely new to bbPress.

On that note, it is very disappointing to see that so many plugins don’t work with 1.0 release. Had I known that I probably would have started with .9 release, and it seems that since you can’t downgrade, I’m pretty much stuck. On the other hand, having migrated from phpBB3, bbPress is just so much better to work with (even with its obvious shortcomings – like no automatic database backups/restore capabilities – which I think is a MUCH NEEDED feature).

Guys,

I know bp has this feature, but I really think this a really hot feature to give users the option the update their status.

It’s one of the features I really love about Facebook, and would really loved it I could implement this feature in my own bbpress forum.

I would loved it if users could update their status from the index, and if I login I can see other users their status update. And reply on it, and also leave my own status update.

Buyddypress has this feature, I looove it. I found a plugin where I think this works on WordPress.

See http://www.instinct.co.nz/wordpress-status-updates-plugin/

I’m really considering to integrate wp afterall, ‘cause most plugins are wp based.

But if anyone could program this feature to work on bbpress, I’d be very happy and probably a lot of other people too.

[batrachoid]

You don’t mention what version of WordPressMU you have; you do have that installed also, right?

Buddypress is basically just a plugin. Have you been able to install and integrate wpmu and bbpress without it?

Nothing….

– bb-config:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ” );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ” );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ” );

– wp-config: (if I define as ‘/’, browser says that cookies aren´t activated…)

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘kjdfkjhdsflhjnmnbvyuy65487dsfg521f’);

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ” );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ” );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ” );

Now, I can stay logging with different users in blog and forums…

Anything is wrong, but I don´t know what…

More ideas…??

P. Always delete all cache+cookies to test it…

P.D2: Testing…. from this form, I can´t access to the dashboard….. damn…

Hi.

I have added a bbpress to a wordpress. Everything works fine, but now I would like to change how the appearance is in the forum list on the front page. Right now I am not fully happy with that. I can see that the class is

either: <tr class=”alt”> or only <tr> which affects how each row is presented. But I can not find this in the style.css file. It drives me nuts…

Also where forums is presented I get the <bb-precedes-sibling bb-follows-sibling bb-root> and alt at the end. But where is it controlled how they look like?

Regards,

Chris

Hi all,

Recently, I installed WordPress (2.8.3) and bbPress (latest stable 1.0.2). The integration of users works correctly, but not the single sign on not work.

I can register in blog and the user it´s created in both and viceversa.

But i can´t logged in in both at the same time.

I have installed the plugin bb Integrationi in WordPress, and AUTH KEY, AUTH salt, etc… same in both config files, same in admin dashboards and add the COOKIEPATH in the wp-config…

When I login in, in any of them, 6 cookies are created: (????? are letters and numbers, same in all the cookies)

With the steps of this post, all is same…

Any idea about what its wrong?

[tmcandle234567]

Thanks – Works for me too! Really appreciate it.

If I may not be tedious – but I am just getting started and appreciate the help.

Is there some documentation that will show me how to get a menu to be inserted in the pages for the discussion board (rather than trying to hack the HTML and PHP (which is not one of the languages I write in right now). I know when I installed the events module that it inserted an events button in the main menus across the site.

Thanks much I am very close to having the basic site in place.

[gerikg]

BBpress Latest Discussions works.

[gerikg]

It should work…

make sure wp-config has:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.websiteblah.com’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

and bb-config has:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.websiteblah.com’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

you can get the correct configuration using “bbPress Integration” wordpress plugin

[eclipsenow]

SMF + Tinyportal just works for many, many bloggers wanting a forum and website portal all rolled into one.

Sadly, it seems that although wordpress aims high, its forum capabilities and integration are lagging far, far behind.

[tmcandle234567]

Also I have tries bbPress-live (which has not been updated for a while it seems) and that will not work. It does not appear there is any integration out there at all!

Please prove me wrong!

[code012]

nevermind. I’ve fixed it.

Can't simultaneously be logged in on both WP and forum

Hope this would help you as well.

[code012]

I fixed it.

It wasn’t simple, and honestly, I really hope that the integration with WP was a basic feature, not an option. Otherwise, it’s the best forum for WP-enabled website so far, and I’m so glad that I installed it.

The following steps are what I did, and might have unnecessary steps, but whatever made it work, made it work. I’ll also assume that you have followed the integration steps that involves matching keys of config files. I would also assume that you have used the correct keymakers for the bbPress version.

bbPress 0.9: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/

bbPress 1.0: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

1. Install the “bbPress Integration” plugin for WP. Set up everything accordingly until you see the “Manual Cookie Settings”. It told me to add “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” on wp-config.php, but it didn’t work. I had to remove / for the path because I read it somewhere that if you add /, it’ll add an extra /, making it // for the cookie path with is invalid. So I added “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ” );” instead, above the “AUTH_KEY” section in wp-config.php.

2. I’ve added the following lines above the ?> part in the end of the bb-config.php :

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

$bb->cookiepath = ”;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;

This tip can be found in other tutorials, but notice that again, I took out / for the path.

3. In WP Settings -> Writing, I’ve enabled XML-RPC.

4. In bbPress Settings -> Writing, I’ve enable XML-RPC.

5. I’ve cleared the cookies of the browsers (IE and FF).

Everything should work as it is. At least it did for me.

Now I can simultaneously be logged in for WP and bbPress without any problems.

I really hope that one day, either from bbPress settings or a one simple plugin would resolve the problems that some of us had.

[code012]

Hi stereostokey.

I’m having the same problem.

Did you manage to fix the problem? If you did, could you let me know how you fixed it?

Thanks.

[antoniobon]

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

[tmcandle234567]

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
