@talbina – Automattic just hired the developer of BuddyPress (www.buddtpress.com), which is basically what you’re asking for, minus bbPress. So they are thinking somewhere along the lines of what you’re saying
Needless to say it’s not much of a leap to take what comes of BuddyPress (a solid social networking core) and integrate that with bbPress to add the forums element (assuming BuddyPress doesn’t move in that direction itself, which is quite possible).
Please see the WordPress MU forum ( http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=7778&page&replies=6#post-46043) and look for my first post where it says “feature and strip” …
The font changes at that point. It looks like the rest of the thread is formatted like code. I don’t know why there’s a backtick near the word feature, but even if I did put it there and forgot to close it, is that the reason the entire thread appears formatted like code? If not, please explain.
Hello,
I am trying to install the newest editions of both WordPress and bbPress onto the same site as of March 10, 2008. The desired URLs for both are:
WordPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net
bbPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums
I have both running from the same database and thats all setup good. However, I have a few questions:
1) I want a single registration page. Meaning that I want a visitor to the site to click on either the forums Register link or even the front page Register link and be brought to the same page and have both WordPress and bbPress share the same user table … how can this be done?
2)Secondly, I want my registered users to be able to sign in at the front page OR on the forums and be logged in until they timeout or logout… how can this be done?
3)With those two steps, my final request is how can I fully integrate my WordPress and bbPress? I plan to use the WordPress install for front page news and website content and my bbPress to be (you guessed it) my forums. As far as features is concerned, I would just want to display the top 10 most recent threads on the front page as well as another widget I have planned for a different feature that wouldn’t affect the forums so I’ll leave that one along for now.

I have no problem editting files if I need to. I’m no pro but I have enough knowledge to get me by.
Thank you in advance!
sambauers,
Will there be a new release of WordPress MU as well?
I am not complaining, but I sometimes feel like WPMU is the ugly stepchild in that there is always extra hurdles to get things working with other software.
Don’t get me wrong, I love WPMU since it allows me to create a blog community and do some really cool things. keep up the good work!
1. I have a wordpress blog and a bbpress forum. Independent of eachother (different directories).
2. How do I integrate the two? By integrate I mean: Have bbpress be a page within the blog. (chickspeak.com style)
3. It would be cool to integrate the blog comments into forum posts too but lets just work and word this out one at a time.
Thank you in advance for clearing this up.
Actually I’m not using any plugins for the integration process, as bbPress and MU seem to handle it reasonably well “out of the box”.
I’m running r1197 of WPMU and 0.8.3.1 of bbPress.
Here’s some of the things that are modified/running though:
config changes in bbPress:
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://url.to.wordpress.install.com/';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://url.to.wordpress.install.com/';
// Integrating with mu
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
$bb->cookiedomain = '.domainname.com'; // leading . allows subdomain sharing
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies
// Load WordPress so we can use the same templates.
define('WP_BB', 'true');
require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-blog-header.php';config changes for WPMU
// Adding custom settings to force cookies to be shared with/accessible to bbPress
define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');
define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');
define('COOKIEPATH', $base);
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domainname.com'); // same as bbPressPlugins in bbPress
– A custom one I call “NoLogin” that just attempts to remove all reference that’s built into bbPress (and block actual attempts) at logging in via bbPress (rather than via MU)
– MD5 insecurity for bbPress by Sam Bauers
– A quick fix called “MainDomain” that redirects requests to a subdomain instance of the forums to the canonical version which is hosted from mybabyourbaby.com (rather than babyname.mybabyourbaby.com)
– A quick and dirty “FixKSES” which allows the left/center/justify/right paragraph buttons to work in TinyMCE, because I’m using that for post formatting.
– Display Names by Michael Adams et al to show the MU display_name, rather than the bbPress username
WPMU plugins/hacks
Because I load the WP engine in addition to the bbPress engine (not very performance-friendly, but makes life easier for sharing code etc), I have access to a lot of the functionality I rely on in the rest of the site – grabbing friendly usernames, user icons/avatars, links to profiles (which are handled completely outside bbPress and WP functionality), etc etc.
I use the TinyMCE editor bundled with WP in bbPress for posting, which is surprisingly easy to add – just load the JS file and add a class to the TEXTAREA. The only thing I haven’t fixed just yet on this is that if you edit an existing post with multiple paragraphs in it then TinyMCE seems to squash it all back down to one.
I also found that I had to add a quick function to stripslashes() onto the hooks “pre_post” and “pre_topic_title” to prevent annoying slashes appearing in them.
One last thing that I discovered was that because the WP engine is being loaded to display bbPress pages, but it doesn’t really “know about” those pages (they’re not internal WP pages), it technically triggers a 404, even though it displays just find. I explained this a bit here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load including a way around it.
Templates
I’m actually using the same templates for bbPress as I am for MU. I accomplish this by symlinking those files directly from the place they normally live, into my-templates/mbob/header.php and footer.php, then make custom files for all the internal bits.
HTH someone
