I modified login-form.php in my theme. I changed the form action to my main site’s wp-login.php.

I then changed the name and id attributes of the username and password input boxes to match those that are expected in wp-login.php.

In WordPress, I used Peter’s Redirection plugin to redirect forum users back to the forum when they login.

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" class="login" method="post" action="http://<yoursite>/wp-login.php">

<div>

<label for="quick_user_login"><?php _e('Username'); ?></label>

<input class="input-text" name="log" type="text" id="user_login" size="13" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (!is_bool($user_login)) echo $user_login; ?>" tabindex="1" />



<label for="quick_password"><?php _e( 'Password' ); ?></label>

<input class="input-text" name="pwd" type="password" id="user_pass" size="13" maxlength="40" tabindex="2" />



<input name="re" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $re; ?>" />

<?php wp_referer_field(); ?>



<input type="submit" name="Submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo esc_attr__( 'Log in &raquo;' ); ?>" tabindex="4" />

</div>

<div class="remember">

<input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="quick_remember" value="1" checked="checked" tabindex="3"<?php echo $remember_checked; ?> />

<label for="quick_remember"><?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label>

</div>

</form>

It’s based on WordPress custom post types, so it’ll work of the custom post type theming rules.

index-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

loop-custom_post_type_name.php

single-custom_post_type_name.php

archive-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

etc.

Can you give us an idea how theme’ing will work when it is a plugin? Will it base itself around the current WordPress theme and kind of insert itself inside a blog post like other forum plugins do?

Hi

Thanks for the update

Will bbpress plugin be compatible (or with an easy way to import) with existing buddypress?

Re user profiles – it would be nice to have one profile (wordpress/bbpress/buddypress)

Thanks

Kris

I had my husband look at it, who’s far more php savvy than I am and while we were able to make some headway and get it partially working thanks to what you provided Mr Pelle. However, we realised it was a lot of work to get it working with WP3 so I ended up going with Pixopoint Theme Generator to spit out the html for the menu and then made a cufon mini-plugin for the custom font. Far less styley but a lot faster and well at this point, at least it works lol.

You should be able to integrate with it not being in a sub-directory – but I found it much easier to have it in a sub.

Looking forward to this, one thing though, couldn’t “User’s Profiles” be a plugin? WordPress already has many user profile plugins

I love the idea of “keeping things as small and light as possible” (front page quote)

If at all possible, could the code for the “legacy support layer for existing plugins” be kept separate? and therefore easily removable

[marchbox]

I followed all the steps to integrate bbpress with wordpress, so far everything is fine, except I can be auto logged into bbpress after log in to wordpress, vise versa.

So my installation is like this:

– wp: http://www.example.com/blog/

– bpp: http://www.example.com/forum/

I saw some solved situations here but all of them install bpp in a sub directory of wp. Will that be a problem?

Thanks!

Hi JJJ,

As always, I appreciate you stopping by

I have not at any time here solicited people to leave bbPress, and 99% of my conversations about this topic have taken place away from this forum, and for the most part, over the last 2-2.5 months.

I refute entirely the statement that I’m attempting to “fragment the already small community” or do anything in “bad taste”. While I’m a vocal son-of-a-gun at times, I think my record for attempting to support bbPress, this forum, and it’s community over the last 2 years will stand up to some scrutiny.

In fact, my initial post was simply a link to another website on which the discussion could take place. I had, and have, no intention of parking the discussion here. I did take time to reply to people as a courtesy. To me, it’s just being mannerly, but I apologise if it’s been wrongly viewed in a different way.

I never intended this thread to cause any issues, I included a link to a website for people that might be interested, and I’ve only replied to folks who have commented here of their own volition (never having sought their comments in these forums). I’ve tried to be courteous and succinct, though I have failings at both, directly e-mailing people whose contact details have been available so that I could keep the chatter here down.

Could I ask if a moderator would be as kind as to lock this thread?

Thank you.

Kevinjohn

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it.

I totally agree with you bro

What’s your WordPress plug-in that’s not a continuation of the bbPress0.9/1/ branches going to be called?

[mr_pelle]

I’ve never tried that plugin, sorry…

[John James Jacoby]

Update: Just emptied out http://bbdevel.wordpress.com and moved everything to http://bbpdevel.wordpress.com. No sense in having two development blogs. The prior should eventually be deleted.

Re: Legacy plugins – It’s low on the list, but I think it’s important there be /some/ level of support. Would really be a shame to lose 100% of that time and effort.

@tonicarr – Nothing will be changing soon, so no worry there. Eventually the goal is to give bbPress users the option of migrating their existing installations into something more tightly integrated with WordPress as a plugin, instead of as a bridged (deeply integrated) stand-alone installation.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I think you’ve hit a key point christofius:

Some of the proposed plugins should be integrated in the core. Report user, user roles, quotes, SEO, stickies, improved moderation, Pivate Messages: all of that I consider essential to a good forum script

Many would agree, many wouldn’t.

Thats one of the goals, to ensure that you only had what was essential to run a forum.

I’ve been lucky enough to be on the internet for almost 20 years (and on “forums” since the bulletin-board/guestbook era), and i’ve never once used “private messaging”. That is, unless [you] call E-mail private messaging.

…while there is nothing wrong with making them into a plugin, it would be much more convenient for new users not to have to install a bunch of stuff to get those features.

The same could be said for people uninstalling them.

My viewpoint is this, and I may be totally wrong, but if you include ‘core plugins’ turned off by default, users get a light-weight active and working forum right out of the box, and all they have to click is “activate” to get the desire feature working.

This is how WordPress does it just now with the likes of Akismet, and there are very few complaints that I know of.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Anything that anyone would like to share?

[maxumimike]

Just use php tags?

Can’t think for the life of me why you’d want to do this though. It’s super, major, massive overkill…

[maxumimike]

As a side note, if you wish to integrate with WordPress, my advice is you upload the files into a sub-directory called “forum” within the WordPress directory.

[mzadarm]

Our programmer merged BB press and wordpress, now when i log into bbpress admin area using the admin account, in the dashboard

i just see ,forums, topics, posts, users. I don’t see setup or plugins for example.

please help, thank u in advance

[tonicarr]

I have not been following the progress of this new update to bbPress. Will the plugin replace the bbpress I am currently running? Which I think is a stand alone along side wordpress. Where can I go for more information? I am thrilled that there is energy being put into bbPress. Thank you Thank you. One of my biggest issues is getting emails when someone posts.

[cengelstad]

I also have the same problem, and the installation documentation is not detailed enough.

“Step 4.Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site” – does that mean the page on my WordPress site that I intend to use the bbPress forum or do I need to create some other page somewhere (if so, where?)?

And where is this mysterious istaller I was expecting to see in step 5: “5.You will be greeted with the bbPress installer”

Thanks!!

[sagarwal1981]

Hi ,

I had a group on google of 400+ members and thousand of posts , Is it possible somehow to pull all that data from google group to my wordpress site having bbpress…

Please provide any suggestions.

Thanks

Hi, is there a way to make a post in html.

Eg. Copy from WordPress and paste it in bbPress.

Cheers, DKB

[Mr Brainz]

I did have a little nose around before posting this. I couldn’t find a definitive answer or guide.

I have no plugins (apart from Askimet which I only JUST activated now)

The main thing is the WordPress integration that’s causing the problems I think.

I get what someone referred to as the “white screen of death”. I think that’s a cookie problem. And I couldn’t access the admin panel. Maybe that’s a file permissions problem….

I don’t know. It’s aggravation. Looks like I’m stuck with 0.9.0.4. Until it gets hacked that is.

[sharonconnolly]

its not clear to me what u want to say..please more brief….
