Looking good. Perhaps one day optionally link the bbpress admin into WordPress in a ‘all in one place kind of way’.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not experienced with php or wordpress/bbpress.

I have my bbpress site up just fine, but its not sending out registration emails. I have checked all the easy fixes

Inbox is empty

Spam is empty

tried on gmail, netscape, and hotmail.

Waited over an hour

I believe that the issue has to do with my hosting requiring authentication for outgoing mail. I called them and they explained that they do require this.

I am wondering solutions I could pursue.

Is there a way to make BBpress authenticate?

Or

Can someone provide a guide to getting an alternative SMTP system set up.

Thank you all for your help!

This was the last discussion I heard about the topic:

The script from the website that you gave me…

There is stuff in wordpress everywhere saying on the top of the thing (like the top of the page)(but it only happens in the admin control panel) saying

bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp__users WHERE ID = 3

Thats one of the main reasons why I want to fix it…and it also changed my homepage to my blog. And when I remove the script well thats where things get extremely messy.

vilimaunula – thanks for the help. i’m going to try to digest what you’ve done – this is way more complicated that what i’ve done in the past. but i’ll check it out and will let you know how it goes!

The “latest discussions” list at http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/ is compiled without the use of WordPress or bbPress loops. Instead, it makes use of two direct hand-crafted MySQL queries to the database, one to the WordPress tables and the other to the bbPress ones.

Basically, both queries search for all the posts (or comments, in the case of WordPress) written in the past month, then put these posts into various arrays. The arrays are then sorted so that the items are in a reversed chronological order, and finally the resulting list is displayed on the page with only the latest post/comment from each thread/blogpost/page included.

In case it is any help, here is the code that I use — I wouldn’t suggest just copy-pasting it to your site though before reading it through and knowing what you are doing. You may at least need to change the table names. I have added comments to give some idea what is done where.

See the code here

There most probably is a simpler way to do this, the php code could be streamlined, made more error-resistant, and it could possibly also be done with WordPress/bbPress tags, or it could be turned into a plugin, if someone has the time and the energy.

> wordpress is at /

> bbpress is at /bbpress

That’s fine and will work well.

You say you “took out the script”. What script are you talking about?

How is your WordPress installation? Is everything OK there?

[793634]

OK this is how I have it set up…

wordpress is at /

bbpress is at /bbpress

I don’t care if I do or do not integrate it I just don’t want to have any errors. And when I took out the script everything went blank white and displayed the error message…so I decided to put it back in but I am getting this type of error instead when I try to log in to bbpress(which I can’t ever since I tried to integrate it)

bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp__users WHERE user_login = 'Noproblem'



bbPress database error: [Table 'c4cwp.wp__users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp__users WHERE user_login = 'Noproblem'

I am running 2.6 of wp

and the latest for bbpress as well…

Thanks for the help,

Noproblem

Thank you I have got my wordpress back, After 2 days of going crazy, I took noproblem’s advice I put back all my files and then used the auto upgrade. Thank you so so much, I’m so happy now.

Thank you Chrishajer for your help and noproblem.

Sounds like you put all the bbPress files into the folder that had WordPress files in it? Can you confirm that?

What version of bbPress and WordPress were you running?

[775251]

vilimaunula – your site akirakurosawa.info is an quite impressive integration of WP and BBPress. I’m wondering how you managed to integrate your forum and wordpress loops into one, as presented on this page: http://akirakurosawa.info/forums/. You are showing a single chronological list of recent posts and comments across both your WP blog and BBPress forum. Would you mind sharing how you did this? I’m very new to PHP so would not be able to tweak things easily to make this happen.

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Yes, put it in it’s own folder, inside the WordPress folder. So you might have something like this:

/var/www/public/website/wordpress

/var/www/public/website/wordpress/bbpress/

 

The 404 error might be because you are trying to use permalinks, either “slugs” or true, and they’re not set up on your server. I would change them to false for now and see if you can get the links to work. If that works, then you know that was the problem and you just need to set up permalinks.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

phpBB3 conversion:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-converstion

I don’t think so, not easily, not yet. I think there was a script to export phpBB2 to bbPress:

Hopefully you put it in it’s own folder, either under your WordPress folder, or off the webroot of your website.

View your profile should not give you an error unless you have something configured incorrectly.

[793634]

Ok I was wondering where I should upload bbpress? Right in the wordpress folder on my server? Also why can’t I click on the View your profile link? It says “User not found.” is that because it is still beta so to speak…

Thanks,

Noproblem

Ah there is probably a more developed guide on the WordPress side, let me see if I can find it for you.

update: here’s a few guides – essentially the process is identical to the WordPress side except the URL used is going to be https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/

guides:

OK – ta, Chris.

[chrishajer]

I think this fix will take care of it: please confirm.

Hi filosofo, it’s an honor to have you here (I learned alot from studying your WordPress plugins).

I take it you are trying to do “full” integration where bbPress and WordPress run together and I guess I didn’t think of that as I try to encourage people NOT to do that because of the massive amount of code that has to execute for every page rendered.

I meant the cookies should integrate, with simple (stand-alone) integration.

Having bbPress based on BackPress and WP not based on it yet is going to become a problem for people doing full intregration. I am not sure if Sam is willing to wrap all the functions in “function_exists” clauses.

It’s great that it works when you remove them – they must have copied the most recent WordPress functions.

[Austin Matzko]

For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the trunk of bbPress which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6

Are you sure it’s compatible? I’m getting fatal errors because the functions in bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php and bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php, which are shared with WP, are all getting re-declared.

However, if I make those files blank, the integration seems to work.

[chrishajer]

You should post from now on on the WordPress.org support forum for WordPress help, but we can still help you here since we’re mostly familiar with WordPress and bbPress.

You do *not* need to edit the file, but it looks like you did based on that error, which is why we asked.

I would try uploading all the files again. Maybe something just got corrupted in that one file, or maybe more files.

If you need assistance, please contact me at the website listed in my profile.

If you do a curl -I http://example.com/ from the command line on a Linux or Mac machine, or check the response headers with Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar (both Firefox add-ons) you will see the response header is a 404, but the page still loads. This has something to do with WordPress, I think.

I tried to load a page on your forum just now, to show you the header output, but I keep getting a “page load error.”

[chrishajer]

I change the Firefox icon to the IE icon on people’s desktop then remove IE from the desktop. It’s a hard habit to break but well worth it.

I think you *can* subscribe to a site feed from within Google Reader: that’s the whole point. Use the “Add Subscription” button and paste in the URL for the feed you want. That’s it.

After a lot of research, and looking at tumblr, then wordpress, then joomla, and now wordpress and bbpress, I think I almost may have made a decision. I want to create a site that is a blog on the front end, with the blog topics becoming forum discussions. Technically I don’t need bbpress to do this, but it seems to me that bbpress will facilitate better discussion. First, are there other sites that are already doing this, I would love to see how they operate?

Second, and maybe most important to me are the user profiles and the ability to let other users ranks each other posts to comments. I’m looking for some opinions on which extensions do this the best.

Hi, so has this forum got nothing to do with wordpress? I tried to post on the word press forum and I couldn’t.

Please understand I am really new to everything computer.

I really need help. I didnt know I had to edit wp-includes/funtions.php.

Can you explain what I have to do. In basic language.

I really feel stupid when it comes to all this. trying to learn. sorry.If all esle fails do you know of any one that I can pay to fix this for me?

Thanks. Should I post here from now on or the word press forum if I can. hopefully I wont have to.
