No, I hadn’t tried asking in the WPMU forums. I just went ahead and uploaded the non-alpha release. I’m running into a situation where the installation is asking me for a Secret Key, though, and all I have are:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘…’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘…’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘…’);

instead. Also, what the “database secret” is, I don’t know either.

Thanks!

bbPress shouldn’t be tightly integrated with WordPress. There are too many things that won’t work. Try removing the line of code that includes WordPress into bbPress.

bycbyc there are only a handful of active WPMU users here,

did you try asking on the WPMU forum or did they send you here…?

Hi Quick question regarding WordPress and BBPress integration of users. Can this be done across different domains? Say I have WordPress MU installed on Doman.com, and from there i have Blog1 installed on Domain2.com and Blog 2 installed on Domain3.com, and then BBPress installed on Domain4.com, would the users still be able to be sync’d across the domains?

All of these are running off of the same server, and Multi-Site is running on WordPress MU. Can users be sync’d between MU and BBPress this way?

(I know it sounds horribly convoluted. This is for an event that’s being put together, and while we don’t want users to have to register to N sites, we do want them all to be separated out like I described above.)

Edit: I should add that I’m not concerned about whether or not a user stays logged in when they switch from one to another, but just a shared user table or automatic user syncing is what we’re looking for.

any real help on this forum?

[racejunk]

[Thanks for the help! ]

Your welcome!

To preface, I know nothing about bbpress other than it’s installed with my new buddypress setup.

I have run vbulletin on numerous websites for years now so that is what i am familiar with.

As my ultimate plans include using wordpressmu/buddypress/forums, can someone let me know why I should consider using bbpress?

Are there features that it has that other software does not provide?

Please, I am not being antagonistic here, it’s a real question.

so far my vbulletin setup has the following:

1. completely bridged to wordpressmu so that all registration/logins/sessions etc are controlled by vbulletin for the entire system. Meaning you login to vb, you are logged into wp automatically etc..

2. vbulletin uses wordpress theme header/footer etc. It’s not static, meaning that if the header in wp changes it auto changes in vb, and NO, I am not using iframes, that’d be just plain stupid.

thanks for any info provided.

I met the same issue, I installed a clean WordPress 2.7.1 and bbPress is 1.0Aphla 6, the integration during the installation is smooth, and I can single sign on between WordPress and bbPress.

However, I can’t post any topics with the msg: “This topic has been closed”.

Is there anyone from Dev team could help?

[baltzer]

Hi All,

I am getting a decent about of comments to my WordPress news blog. Problem is that these posts are scattered over many posts, so does not seem to be much activity.

Could bbpress be the solution? I want it to be possible for users to overview the discussion at the various news articles.

If you have seen a solution on an other website, please send me a link.

I have also looked at a integration of WordPress and vbulletin, but seems like a solution this is not without problems.

Hope to hear from you

Michael

When I tried adding a new user, jamesonriley, it added it to my WordPress user list, but not my bbpress user list.

[jamesonriley-1]

I just installed bbpress in the same database as my WordPress install. Got an email after installing saying it was all set, and that my login for bbpress was the same as my WP login. So when I login on bbpress, it just recycles the page, and asks me to login again. If I enter the incorrect password, it knows that it is incorrect and notifies me. I enter the correct password, and it just goes back to the main forum page, without being logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are a lot of functions in the code that are 1.0-specific.

Fortunately, WordPress 2.8 is being released in May, and I can’t see bbPress 1.0 being far behind.

Hi All,

I just installed WordPress MU 2.7.1 and attempting to install bbPress (brubeck) and during the installer, it’s asking for 2 keys that I don’t see anywhere in the WP config file. The cookie and db key. In my WP config file I only see 3 keys and it’s corresponding salt entries. They’re Auth, Secure, Logged in, and Nonce.

Thanks for the help!

Finding well managed shared hosting that’s affordable is difficult.

Any host can slip up and end up with bad neighbors on a shared box.

Loads as high as you are reporting though should be automatically firing off alerts to the host though, so they either

1. aren’t getting alerts

2. getting them but ignoring them because they know it’s the overloading backup routine each morning

bbPress doesn’t have a page cache yet like WordPress’s wp-cache but in theory doesn’t actually need one unless you have a very active forum (or a bad host).

As far as finding a “better” host, it’s not easy but here’s some ideas:

WooHoo! A plugin accomplishing that has been just released:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/ <— in plugin repository

http://www.atsutane.net/2009/04/wordpress-inside-bbpress-part-1.html <— author’s blog with more info on usage

Tested it and it works well on WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.4

[petertoshas]

Hellooo!

Well, i recently change to bbpress (this rocks) and i’m trying to make a theme compatible with the current theme in my wordpress blog. It went pretty well, until i came across the post-form to create a new topic and i’m in blank…

Let me explain: i’m using the theme kakumei, and instead off the hottags on the left, i’m going with a sidebar with other features (tags, the ‘fav this’ feature, link to main forum, etc…). This works well in the front-page, in the topic, profile, and other, but i’m having some problems put this working in the post-form.php !

The way i use to style was: the sidebar in <div id=sidebar></div>, and the content (infobox, post, topic meta, etc) in <div id=”content”></div> just like the kakumei theme.

My problem with the post-form.php is the function that is used in the functions.bb-template to the ‘pre_post_form’ and ‘post_post_form’. Using the <div id=”content”></div> in the post-form.php the <div> actually appears in the middle of the code of the form in the post-form and the content dont stay aligned. Putting the <div> in the functions.bb-template, just makes the <div> repeating in the others pages where the post-form is used, and the content dont stay aligned anyway.

i’ll really appreciate if you could suggest me some ideas. tks

I looked at several other forum posts – but my problem is slightly different:

I have WordPress 2.7.1 and installed bbPress on a separate database. So I have 2 databases on my server (WP, and bbPress). My forum is http://www.waltribeiro.net/forum – and I can’t log in, create new user, etc.

In the ‘User Database Table Prefix’ section of the bbPress>Settings> I changed the WP Admin as Key Master, WP Editor as Moderator, etc. in User Role Map (according to http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/)

So I realize now that when I incorrectly entered ‘wp_’ as my Table Prefix instead of leaving it blank that bbPress can’t find the correct directory: ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ should actually be ‘ForumWalt.users’ (right?)

As a result, I get this:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘Walt’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘Walt’

So I can’t log in to fix it, and I trial-and- error the bb_config.php file to $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; and $bb_table_prefix = ”; and $bb_table_prefix = ”;

but no luck. I tried going into myPHPadmin and changing the SQL names’ prefix.. still nothing.

Here’s the pic from myAdmin

http://waltribeiro.net/pictures/SQL-Problem_Screenshot.png

I’m convinced that somewhere its’ looking for wp_user when in fact it needs to look for bb_user or else it won’t find me. Should I reinstall, is the solution easier than what I’m making it out to be?

Any help?!

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I’m also looking for that feature. Is there a working plugin?

Or maybe there could be a solution which uses some kind of feed parsing to display latest posts?

That is what I use to display latest discussions from bbPress into WordPress – just use the built-in RSS-parser. Is there something like that in bbPress?

[canadian-dutch]

this is a neat plugin, but is it possible to go backwards?

Is it possible to import new threads from bbpress as posts in the wordpress blog? Not all of them, but ones labelled/tagged/etc in a specific way?

[canadian-dutch]

I haven’t done any kind of integration. I just have the two things installed in the same home directory and then tried to make this plugin work. My wordpress is using a theme as I set it up before the bbpress but I did not do anything with bbpress, it is a clean install.

The site is temporarily at http://www.alwaysbeenagypsy.com/thefashionstudent/

and http://www.alwaysbeenagypsy.com/thefashionstudent/forum/

(though I am playing a lot with it so it may or may not be up if you try)

I’m wondering if maybe I got some of the keys wrong, would that do it?

In the documentation it says to use the “secret key” from the wp-config file but there is no secret key so I guessed which one sounded the most like it could be a secret key. The keys are:

AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY

NONCE_KEY

I have seen other forums that integrate with wordpress but to be honest I like the simplicity of this one, the others have way too much shit in them so I hope I can figure out how to get this working!

[johnhiler]

Hmm, those are the versions that I think these plugins were designed for.

Is it possible you’re using seamless integration? Other users have reported similar problems between Freshly Baked Cookies and seamless integration:

* https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/page/2/#post-2951

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

[canadian-dutch]

sorry I should have mentioned that. I am using WordPress 2.7.1 and bbpress 0.9.0.4

These were both downloaded and installed yesterday.

So I’ve successfully integrated WordPress and bbPress, and have been messing around with it! It’s great, but I’ve been receiving this error every time I delete a topic. (The topic still gets deleted, it’s just. . . I have to hit “back” in my browser, but having an error at all still bugs me.)

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘WHERE status=0 AND user_id>0 AND size>0 AND post_id IN (SELECT post_id FROM bb_p’ at line 1]

SELECT count(*) as count FROM WHERE status=0 AND user_id>0 AND size>0 AND post_id IN (SELECT post_id FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status=0 AND topic_id=25)

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /my/absolute/path/forum/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /my/absolute/path/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

[johnhiler]

What versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

[bruinfelix]

3. Is it possible to use WordPress blog’s header on bbPress (Replacing forum header with blog’s header) without integration?

Yes, it is possible. I did it for my own website, and i dont experience any kind of performance problems (yet).

4. Page Views is not appearing in the forum menu. How to fix that?

There’s a plugin for that …

And for the rest i must say. Use the search button more often, there’s a whole world of answers on youre questions, just throwup a searchphrase, and you will be amazed what you could find
