Hey, I was checking out this board so I could suggest this very idea.

I have some easy style postings on my blog with over 100 comments… that makes for one very long page.

I would love to see a feature that takes WP postings up to the <! –more–> tag and automatically generates a BBpress posting that is tied into the blog comment system.

[mozey]

what would be nice to is to be able to add BB tags in your wp post page.

[mozey]

i’m using

require_once(‘/absalout/path/’)

[cmcraft]

I tried that and it threw back a serious error. I might be a noob, but is there more defining that needs to be done? Inserting the code towards the bottom didn’t work. My installation works ok, but it doesn’t load wordpress at all, and if I uncomment the wp_bb line, it errors up as well.

Help!

If you switched user tables after bbPress was already installed, the accounts in the old user tables won’t work.

You can log in with the accounts in the new user table, but none of those accounts will have administrator rights in bbPress.

You’ll have to manually add something to your database.

In WordPress’ usermeta table, add an entry that looks like:

user_id: #your user id on your blog#

meta_key: bb_capabilities (replace ‘bb_’ with bbPress’ table prefix)

meta_value: a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

Agreed, this would be a great idea. What a great way to combine a blogging community and forum users into one discussion.

I dont have time right now but in a couple of weeks I will poke around with this, incase nobody else has.

Hello,

Great idea !!

It would be great to have a system that allow WP comments to be handled by bbpress in way that would be transparent (for example the number of comment been displayed under the WP post) and even (let’s dream) the x first comments available under the WP post (like it’s the case currently), with a link “read more.. ” directing to the whole number of comments in bbpress.

I don’t know if this is realistic but such a system associating a blog script and a forum script would be really fantastic (currently blog handling of comment is really poor from a user point of view).

If you’re getting that error when WP_BB is set, you’re probably not including wp-config.php correctly.

You do not need to load wp-config.php in order to integrate cookies or most anything else.

See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

and https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#integration-plugins

Thank mdawaffe! I have solved this problem. It looks working fine when I moved BBPress into a sub-directory of my WordPress.

[aloicious]

OK Here’s the dish:

Perhaps this isn’t another issue.

I was grappling with the “Call to undefined function __() in…” caper as a few have around here.

Of course, this only occurs when I include WP_BB = true and my wp-config.php

So, without either of those switches all works fine. Without these, how would the setup go as far as cookies and integration are concerned?

As far as templates are concerned, I have no need for any wordpress functions to be loaded in my forums, at least not at this stage.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

garymill,

Login problem:

wp_home and wp_siturl will only work if the url for your forums is a “subdirectory” of the url for your WordPress blog. If that is not the case, you’ll need the more fine-grained control mentioned in the Cookie integration with WordPress Documentation

Installation problem:

on Installation, bbPress looks to see if there are any keymasters in the User Tables already. You’ll need to go to your usermeta table and delete the entry:

meta_key = $bb_table_prefix . ‘capabilities’ (example: ‘bb_capablities’)

meta_value = a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

This part of the installation will have to change in the next version for several reasons. The difficulties you’re seeing is one of them.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

No – WP_BB only tells bbPress that you will be loading WordPress so that it knows not to try to load thingsn which will conflict with WordPress.

If bbPress is installed in a subdirectory of WordPress, put this in bbPress’ config,php

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

[mozey]

i would guess that we need to:

1: Add a little code snippit inside of wp-post.php that creates a new forum SOMEHOW identified by the post ID.

2: in your wp-single.php include that forum instead of your comments.

3: SOmehow replicate/redirect comments/forum for RSS reasons and other ones that i do not understand! sloppy i know!

[ngetchell]

I was wondering if this forum would be capable of housing the comments of my wordpress blog inside the forums. Maybe through some sort of plugin or maybe just an option in bbpress itself.

Anything info would be great.

[mozey]

what does that mean?

setting BB_WP equal to true that is. is’nt it suppose to load the header/footer of my wp installationg? if that is the case, it it’nt working.

[plasticdreams]

Yea, I agree with lstelie.

WP use subversion to manage each localized file:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/

How do bbPress’ developers think about managing localized file?

[garymill]

I need a bit of help still with the login issue

My config for this section

// 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_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.

//define(‘WP_BB’, true);

/* Stop editing */

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

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

?>

Thanks,

Gary

bbPress should get along with WPMU just as well as it does with WP. See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

[astereo]

Solved my problem. It was coming from

#

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

#

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

#

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

I had set the urls only to domain.com/directory, when I added the http and www it worked fine.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress now has a tiny FAQ section in its Documentation.

For now, it covers the following topics.

Pretty Permalinks.

Useful Plugins when integrating with WordPress.

Where to put custom plugins and templates.

[planetphillip]

This is what it should look like:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

I made the point about TRUE becasue it seems that you never set it to TRUE, you just add the correct prefix.

[Aaron]

When I use this option

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

Set it to true, and use my prefix, I am running into this error:

bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate' AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, '---', 1 ) = '*****[moderated]*****'

bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate'

Even if I intentionally put the wrong db prefix, it still gives this same error.

But as long as I use keep using the old integration code in the config file

// use the WP user table for your bbpress user list

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

the login works just fine.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Those two line look fine to me.

You are definitely missing files, though: http://www.thai-boxing.org/muay-thai-forum/bb-includes/

Not all of them are there.

Are you trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress? That would explain why bbPress did not complain that wp-functions.php was missing.

[planetphillip]

I had the same problem, but after reading the Ulitmate bbPress Guide (http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-ultimate-bbpress-guide/1/) I realised I had made mistakes on these lines of my config file:

#

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

#

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

#

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

I replaced the FALSE with TRUE instead of adding the actual urls and the'wp_'. Your problem might be completely different but maybe you made the same mistake as I did?

As a side note it seemed obvious to me that if it wasn’t FALSE then I should set it to TRUE, but maybe not everybody agrees.

Yes, I meet the same issue that I can’t login with my wordpress username. I used Dreamhost as webhosting.
