    I did the original install as Trent specified above. I also added in fel64’s suggestion. I didn’t see any changes in the behavior as a result.

    Let me reiterate. BBPress and WOrdpress are sharing a user database now. I can sign into BBPress using the name/pw combo of any existing WordPress user.

    What I expected though, is that a user already signed into WordPress would transition into BBPress (for the first time, as a new user) and automatically be logged in. Currently, they need to relogin using the same WordPress username and password.

    Which behavior should be expected? I am looking for a seamless addition of forums for my existing client base….

    Thanks for the great help.

    Right off the cuff, I would do the following until you have it installed correctly:

    1) Remove:

    $bb->WP_BB = true;
    require_once( 'public_html/wp-blog-header.php' );

    2) Change to false:

    $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

    Once you have bbPress installed and integrated with wordpress (logins), then play around with the permalinks and the including bbPRess functions with WP.

    Trent

    I have spent three hours trying to figure out what I’m doing – can someone tell me if this config.php is correct?

    I have placed xxx’s in place of password, etc..

    <?php

    $bb->WP_BB = true;

    require_once( ‘public_html/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    // ** MySQL settings ** //

    define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘xqyevao_wrdp1’); // The name of the database

    define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘xqyevao_wrdp1’); // Your MySQL username

    define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxx’); // …and password

    define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

    $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

    // The full URL of your bbPress install

    $bb->uri = ‘http://teachtheboss.com/forums/&#8217;;

    // What are you going to call me?

    $bb->name = ‘Teach The Boss Forums’;

    // This must be set before you run the install script.

    $bb->admin_email = ‘ronaldp423xxxxx.com’;

    // Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

    $bb->mod_rewrite = true;

    // The number of topics that show on each page.

    $bb->page_topics = 30;

    // A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

    $bb->edit_lock = 60;

    // Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

    $bb->gmt_offset = -5;

    // Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

    // chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

    // For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

    // to enable German language support.

    define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

    // Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

    // of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

    // http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

    $bb->akismet_key = ‘xxxxxxxx’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

    // The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

    // If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

    $bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

    $bb->wp_home = ‘http://teachtheboss.com&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

    $bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://teachtheboss.com&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

    /* Stop editing */

    if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

    define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

    require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

    ?>

    You may have to add

    $bb->cookiepath = '/';

    to your config.php if it doesn’t work straight away.

    If you have the same domain so it should be simple. Keep in mind that bbPress will use the WP users after doing this and both programs have to be installed in the same database:

    // The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
    // If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

    $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
    $bb->wp_home = www.nyquistcapital.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
    $bb->wp_siteurl = 'www.nyquistcapital.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'

    I just installed bbPress.

    Now, I need to learn how to customize the forum’s appearance.

    Apparently, a lot of customization done through plugins.

    I found the following:

    Using Plugins

    To use a plugin, simply create a directory in your main bbPress directory called my-plugins and put the plugin file in it. bbpress does not currently have a plugin activation/deactivation interface like WordPress’. Any .php file in your /my-plugins directory will be run.

    Looking for plugins? Try our plugin browser http://bbpress.org/plugins/

    I like adding the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ feature.

    How would I find if this is an available plugin?

    If so how would I find where to download it?

    I dropped the bbPress tables in my database and did a reinstall.

    The installation went fine.

    I discovered my original installation falied because of a typo

    I had entered ‘http://mywebsite.com/forums/&#8217;;

    I should have entered ‘http://mywebsite.com/forum/&#8217;;

    On this install I didn’t want to integrate with the WordPress database.

    Now I need to learn how to customize the forum’s appearance.

    Is there a way to change the forum name within Administration or will I have to edit the config.php file and FTP it?

    Is a lot of customization done through plugins and php templates?

    I found this online.

    [The best way to start off is to create a new directory inside the root folder of the bbpress install called “my-templates”. Any php templates place in this folder with the same name as in “bb-templates” will override the original files. For example, if you modify front-page.php and upload it to “my-templates”, bbpress will pull the customized front-page.php file.]

    Fore instance I like adding the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ feature.

    Should be. If they are on the same domain, it is certainly possible. In a small set of cases you will need to add two simple lines of code to your bbpress config.php. What URLs do you (want to) have bbpress and wp at? Tell us and we can tell you what code to add.

    Changing the width of the theme is easy; all it takes is a single change in a CSS file. If they hard-coded the width into the HTML, they deserve the extra work. :P

    I think that if you use they backticks on an inline basis the overflow is hidden, but if you use it for paragraphs (specifically: backtick is in line above your code, I think) the overflow remains.

    For example, a really long path like var/www.mywebsite.com/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/template-functions.php or whatever will be cut off. If there had been spaces, it should wrap.

    But a paragraph of code will have the scrollbar.

    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: o/
    */
    function withareallylongnamethatjustneverstopsandthefunctiondoesn'tevendoanythinguseful() {
    return true;
    }

    Ok.

    No offence to the wordpress.com people. But i just went on the wordpress.com support forum and searched for ‘CMS’ and almost everyone there has a lot of trouble making wordpress.com into a CMS.

    All the reply posts about CMS on there have all been just ‘advice’, no real action to build on.

    Can you please show me some websites that use WordPress, that are not blogs?

    Something with some functionality in them.

    Thanks,

    Hello ck,

    thanks for the help.

    I keep on thinking that wordpress is a blog software, but i guess its just like any other CMS.

    Furthermore, what im trying to do now is reduce cost. That means, try to use the software that has the most features that i need already.

    BBpress already has categories (different job types) , posts (job posts) , users (companies) and avatars (for logos).

    Just way too confused for a person like me who doesnt know anything.

    If you are just making one locked post with no replies then WordPress will suit you better. Forums are best for users being able to start threads themselves. Blog-like CMS software is best for 1-to-many.

    The other benefit of WordPress is that you can have unlimited alias nicknames and anonymous self-posting with alias nicknames. So you could pretend to be “Microsoft” when you post and then later if Microsoft really becomes a client you can give them a true login with the real username.

    Last but not least wordpress has far more development and plugins and contributors than bbpress at this time. Something to consider for a commercial application.

    Ah….here! That would make sense for sure since even the wordpress.com forums are using a larger layout for posts! I will pass it along up the chain!

    _ck_, there was no misconception – I tested bbPress thoroughly with MU before I decided it was the right move for us. I would expect any other user to do the same. And I’ll just chime in and say that the bbPress site and forums made it very clear to me before I began that bbPress and WordPress are two different applications and would need manual integration.

    Prior to bbPress, I tried integrating PunBB directly with our WordPress install, and while I wouldn’t call it difficult exactly, it was unnecessary: the features that separate PunBB from bbPress went largely unused by our community, so why not use forum software that uses a similar table structure, takes advantage of the wp_users table, and is supported by the same community of interested users that brought us WordPress?

    I’ll admit my needs are very specific, and that the alternative to using open source software is writing it myself, which means I can get pretty excited that bbPress ONLY requires a certain amount of integration. Also, as specific as my needs are, I posted the conversion script I used for the one or two other people who find themselves in the same position. I don’t know that it’s a common request, and I imagine that anyone who’s in the position of converting already has a bbPress install they’re happy with, whether it’s integrated with WordPress or not.

    It is related with wordpress.org. Let me explain. Akismet keys are given from wordpress.com (free hosted blog service) and that key can be used with bbPress and the Akismet plugin for WordPress (downloaded from wordpress.org) or with other blog softwares have the Akismet plugin.

    bbPress integration is dealt with here or in the wordpress.org/support/ forums and issues with your Akismet key are dealt with through the ‘feedback’ or ‘support’ tab in the wordpress.com forums.

    Hope that clears it up a little.

    Ah I see. It’s the misconception that by name alone, that bbpress integrates easily/well with wordpress. You’ll find several experiences that it does not integrate easily or well by default. Between the nasty cookie issue and the even worse username issue, it makes no attempts on it’s own to integrate. You’ll need a few plugins and some trial and error with members.

    I’ll suggest again to the powers that be that an integration sub-forum might be a good idea to warn/help others. The mini-faq doesn’t begin to cover the issues.

    #58852

    bbPress should be magic_quotes agnostic. I’ll do some tests to see If I can pin down the problem.

    Are you loading any other scripts at the same time (WordPress, anything else)? Any plugins?

    _ck_ : Our PunBB forum dates from the inception of our site, and the nature of our community has sort of moved the interaction out of the forums and throughout the rest of the site. So I wanted to be able to incorporate our past discussions into the latest version of the site and have a little finer control over the data (relating archived forum discussions to archived blog entries and such). Since I am expecting that participation in the forums may continue shifting more toward the blog comments, I am trying to merge the old and the new and a PunBB -> bbPress -> WordPress path has fit perfectly so far.

    In the bbPress config.php file is the following

    You can get an Akismet key at

    // http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

    I registered with wordpress.com and received an Akismet key, which I have put in the bbPress config.php

    I posted a question WordPress.com forum and discovered that there is a WordPress.org and a WordPress.com. I have WordPress.org blog software, which is able to be customized.

    I then registered with WordPress.org forums.

    Is bbPress related with WordPress.com or WordPress.org?

    bbPress’s auto-close tags is broken by default – though the code and filter is in there, it’s not passed correctly:

    add this to a plugin

    function force_balance_tags($text) {return balanceTags($text, true);}

    add_filter('pre_post', 'force_balance_tags');

    or if you don’t know how, use my tweaks plugin:
