It can also be done by making the default bbpress theme look like your wordpress theme. I am almost done doing just that over at yourkahil.com

For the most part everything is the same, only a handful of changes/tweaks to the template files.

@gspark001 lets say you have a wordpressmu up and you want a place where people can see posts from all of the WP installations. I run a family site. Some prefer to read each Website others prefer to look at the forums for updated info.

I had phpBB connect for the same reason.

@fel64 I keep getting a get_user error when I try to post. It seems to be setup correctly, but when I post it gives:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_user() on a non-object

and references functions.php

It’s a stylesheet, it will not interfere with the styles in your WP theme unless there are name collisions between the class/id’s.

I just installed this plugin and I got this error. I am using BBpress version 0.8.2.1, integrated with wordpress.

*****

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 ” at line 1]

I have a question-

One of my members wants to make sure he stays logged in. I had an SMF forum which allowed you to choose “stay logged in for a week” or “forever”. He would like something similar, and claims he has to log in every time he comes back to the forum.

I know I don’t have that issue, but I’m also the keyholder- is it supposed to be automatic that someone stays logged in?

If not, is there a plugin, or a hack, that could make this possible?

Thanks.

EDIT: To elaborate on this, I have integrated this with wordpress, and I’m beginning to wonder if I have an integration problem:

He registered through BBpress, and the account was created in my WP-admin, no problem. I asked him to try logging in to the WP control panel, to see if checking “remember me” on that login was what did it. He couldn’t log in with his BBpress password, not even the random one that was sent to him.

I had to go in and manually set the password for him. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Am I going to have to do this for each user created? (I can’t believe that, so there must be another issue.)

Sorry to bring up two problems in the same thread, if it’s better I can start a new one for the integration issue.

Thanks in advance.

fel64 has it right. There is a paid mailing list for WordPress that also takes request for bbPress if you are interested, but discussing commercial projects here is a no no.

What bbPress and WordPress plugins do you have installed?

I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my machine (no plugins for either).

[gspark001]

won’t that mess up your wordpress theme ?

[atomastro]

include the kakumei stylesheet in your template header, or copy the kakumei styles and put them into the stylesheet for your wordpress theme.

[atomastro]

It is a REALLY bad idea to leave an wordpress installer sitting on your server, and it is an especially REALLY bad idea to then provide the link to everyone. Some bad person could do some very bad things to your server. You should take that down right away.

[Trent Adams]

Yeah, they are integrated and so is the WordPress MU forums.

ok i got my header/footer running smoothly, was anyone aware that bbpress get header is written as get_head is this the same ?

oh yea and I was curious, now that the bb pulls in the header/footer of wp it knocks out the style for the forums, whats the recommended next step ?

[gspark001]

is wordpress.org and bbpress.org login intergrated?

[Detective]

it is possible. Include the file wp-blog-header.php in the first line (after <?php) of your config.php. So, in every template file that calls bb_get_header() and bb_get_footer() you can replace them with get_header() and get_footer().

In this way you’re loading the WP header and footer … and if you want to include some CSS specifically for bbpress you’ll have to do it by means of a WP plugin or editing wordpress’ header files.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to have bbPress uses the style-sheet etc. from the template

I am using for WordPress, in order to have the same look and feel through the entire site.

That would be a real integration

Thanks

Alex

[gspark001]

bbpress registration did not indicate there was a set minumu for how many characters in username, might be a good idea if there was a note in the register form

i kept getting a username not valid and did not know why, how come with wordpress the username was ok but not on bbpress ?

[Trent Adams]

I am hoping you put the bbPress installation instructions up there on your site as the WordPress/Invasion instructions don’t help here.

Trent

[Detective]

Hi!

You can use WordPress Pages inside bbPress. I’m testing an integration between bb and wp and it works flawlessly. Look for some posts about including wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php in your config.php.

[Sam Bauers]

It’s not off topic at all to talk about WordPress. I’m saying that the development of the two products is very much done in parallel, so if a decision is made about how tags should be inputed in WordPress (which is likely at this stage as tags are in development in WP), then that will likely affect the bbPress implementation. Perhaps you will get a better answer asking on the developers mailing list or by submitting a bug report on the Trac site.

[riddle]

Is there a way to do standalone pages in bbPress, like the undated “pages” in WordPress?

I’m starting a new project which must consist of a discussion board plus a small set of freestanding pages. The forums and pages need to have the same look and appear as tabs in a coherent navigation structure. I don’t need the freestanding pages to be in a user-friendly CMS, although it would be nice. I’m trying to decide whether to use bbPress alone, bbPress+WordPress, or something completely different.

I was attracted to bbPress in the first place because I thought I could use WordPress’s undated “pages” feature to supplement the forums. But now I gather from other posts that bbPress+WordPress integration is far from straightforward.

So, is there any easy way to present freestanding pages which are uniform in style with bbPress? Or should I give up and go with the competition? (I’m also looking at Drupal, ugh.)

[Arlo]

WordPress doesn’t have tags…

[Sam Bauers]

Tag formatting should be consistent with whatever WordPress does.

[Kahil]

YAY!!! I figured it out!

<?php global $user_identity;

get_currentuserinfo();

if ($user_identity == ”) {

echo(‘Welcome Guest’);

} else {

echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘.jpg” alt=”avatar” />’);

}

?>

[antonskey]

i believe another problem (and this might be an integration issue) is that the users who have either logged in to bbpress using their wordpress logins (myself, Trent and one other user) or have attempted editing their profiles have had their emails within wordpress changed to “1”. that’s it, just the number 1 which would explain why I did not receive an email when both Trent and mdawaffe signed up for the site.
