I am looking to create a custom theme for bbPress and I need assistance. This is a very simple gig as it will not be feature-rich and will only be bbPress (we have not integrated the WordPress part into it. In other words, users will be directed right into bbPress). I am on an extremely short timeline for this. This would be a paid gig. Please email keithkorneluk_at_gmail_dot_com.

Thanks!

I’m not able to get WPMU 2.8.4 and BP 1 to SSO at all. I tried and can’t get it to work any help would be grateful.

I have the multi-domain plugin setup and also have the bbpress-integrate plugin in the “plugins” directory.

function do_action($tag, $arg = '')

do_action() has an arguments variable as it’s 2nd argument, sorry for not being clearer. That’s passed when it runs an action function and if nothing is passed, it defaults to an empty string.

$bb_table_prefix would be the prefix for the bbPress tables though, wouldn’t it? In the case of a WP/bbP integration, the bbPress user data is stored in the WordPress user tables, so those aren’t under the same prefix as the bbPress tables. Unless it changes automatically for WordPress user tables somehow?

Howdy!

I would like to showoff my new project

Need A Project – http://needaproject.com/ (WordPress)

NAP Forums – http://needaproject.com/discussion/ (bbPress)

P.S. => They are not deeply integrated.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

email me I’ll look at it my user name at gmail dot com.

I just recently upgraded to WP 2.8 and am facing this problem again. It’s happened before and I fixed it because values in both WP and BB were different, however this time they’re the same. I can only be logged into one script at a time, either WP or BB. Logging into WP logs me out of BB and vice-versa. My auth and all those things are set as the same in each respective config file, and I have the proper code inserted into my wp-config file from the bbIntegration plugin, so I don’t know the problem.

If anybody can help, here’s the forum: http://scrawlfx.com/forum

[Mark Kehn]

I have this exact same problem as Sharpmouth in his first post up top here. EXACT, same error messages, same line numbers everything. DITTO for the second image he posted.

I also did the integration with wordpress during the install of bbpress and I followed it exactly, I had no trouble whatsoever, I skipped nothing but after clicking the final button to finish the installation I got the message it installed, but with errors.

@ ashfame you said, “Possibility is that you missed out something as the tutorial works flawlessly.”

I think your comment was snarky in my opinion. The tutorial got me through the installation but it doesn’t mean it worked flawlessly because following the instructions still ended up with results at end of install. Truth is I don’t think these errors have anything to do with the documentation on how to install, it has to do with the bbpress code itself. The code is broke regardless what a piece of paper (the tutorial) says about it.

@SharpMouth – your final message says you got it to work but to me it only sounds like a bandaid but the issue is still there even though you figured a way to hide the messages. You said you fixed it, does that mean you can click on the links to go to the bbpress Admin area or to LogOut, LogIn without getting the “headers already sent out” garbage?

How did you turn off error reporting? Better yet, what steps exactly did you take to fix everything to finally get it all to work? Remember, I am having the exact same results as you after the install, so please tell me what you did to get everything to work for you. Much appreciated, thanks.

Here are some extra screenshots, ones that SharpMouth didn’t post himself when he was having issues.

This first one was barely visible it had the error messages as white text on white background so I selected all the text so you could read it.

These next two are just showing the installation log. I blacked out personal info not needed by you.

For the screenshot below – As you see here in the red message box it says it completed but with minor errors. It isn’t referring to the error messages I highlighted in the first screenshot it is referring to the error about keymaster email not going out.

Hi everyone, I just started a site that uses WP and BBP together, and aside from a few outstanding issues, things are working out nicely.

I built a theme for the forum that matches the WP theme, and it has a sidebar. When the user is logged in, it shows Welcome [username] and shows the avatar, a link to edit profile, my favorites, and log out.

How can I have if the keymaster/admin/mod is logged in, a link to the dashboard? I tried some code from the default template, but nothing really seems to give me a direct link to admin. Is there a templates tag list for bbpress like the one for wordpress?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Yep, you have to sanitize yourself, the database objects presume anything they’re passed has been already

[johnhiler]

We should be ok. Best case scenario, Automattic will bring on someone to continue developing bbPress. Worse case scenario, we can fork the code from bbPress and continue development on our own… Since WordPress is open source, maintaining cookie/user integration is definitely possible.

But we can discuss all that in a separate thread… mostly just wanted to express appreciation for Sam in this thread! He wrote a huge amount of code and chimed in a lot of threads here on the forum – thanks again!

Sam, I hope the team at Automattic appreciates how hard you worked, and just how much they lost when you stepped down!

[annejan]

I fixed it!

It was the WP-o-Matic plugin…

[gerikg]

can someone help me with this? Just change the top into a call function that pulls from the db?

using this method: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration

[annejan]

Thanks for your reply. I copied your code and deleted my own code.

The WP things in my bbPress are still working, but the “next page” problem is there still too.

Anyone a solution for the “next page” problem?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Buddypress using the guide here: http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/

I have done this successfully on my localhost, but trying to do on on our host’s webspace is proving difficult.

The integration of cookies works fine, but when I add a group to Buddypress, where is should normally say:

“Enable discussion forum”

It says:

“Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”

This is the part where a forum should automatically be created for the group. The passwords match up, the only difference I can see is one is using localhost and the other is using external webspace. Our host don’t allow us to set a folder to have 777 file permissions, which I thought could be the problem?

My question is, does the bbpress folder need 777 permissions for it to integrate successfully this way, or should I be looking somewhere else for the problem?

Thanks

WordPress sidebar code will not work straight away.

You can find themes that use sidebars here and maybe find something you can copy from:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

Or, you can find professional help with programming for bbPress here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic

Or, anyone familiar with modifying WordPress should be able to help as well since they’re very similar.

[chrishajer]

Yes, it will work fine with many users. It’s in use at WordPress.org if you want to see lots of users and activity. https://wordpress.org/support/

You can also check the top 100 sites using bbPress here and see how they feel to you:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100

You can find forums with lots of users, lots of posts, or both.

[chrishajer]

secure_auth_salt is only present if you’re accessing wp-admin via https protocol, otherwise it’s not needed. The bbPress installation used to have a note about that at this field.

auth_salt you can get from your WordPress installation, at this URL:

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php

I thought those notes were present on the bbPress installation screen…

[peacesal]

Please where Can I find : auth_salt and secure_auth_salt, Still stuck at the 2nd installation steps. Trying to integrate wordpress and bbpress

[litehouse]

I formerly had login integration working between wordpress and bbpress, but it stopped when I upgraded to bppress 1.0. For wordpress I’m on version 2.8.3. Perhaps i did something incorrectly. These keys are not present in the bb-config.php file.

BB_AUTH_KEY

BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

BB_NONCE_KEY

I added them to the bb-config.php file from the wp-config file. All the salt keys match the ones in wordpress, and I checked the meta table in the db to be sure.

i added the following line to wp-config and bb-config

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/lhw/’ );

Is it possible that bbpress wasn’t installed correctly to use the new security features? Any suggestions?

[missfor]

Having the same issues here, saw the plugin on wpmu-enable-bbpree-capabilities but I would wait a little until some one more experienced here would say something.

Basically the issue is that after installation and synch between bbpress and wordpress I see that the new users (except admin) have their roles assigned to Inactive.

Any help please ?

[terryjsmith]

@chrishajer I believe I found originally that including only wp-load.php did not register the actions and filters in WordPress and I wanted to keep those for our specific installation. But generally speaking, it would carry quite a bit less load

@AphelionZ I am very glad you solved the problem, congratulations!

Hi everyone,

I’m seriously considering dropping FluxBB (that i’m currently using for a large messageboard) and using BBPress.

I would stop using FLuxBB for various reasons (mostly because i feel like FluxBB isn’t really alive anymore development-wise and also because i’ve been using wordpress for many many years and really digg the WP/BBpress community & coding) but… i was wondering is BBPress would do the job for a large messageboard with many users and connections everyday ?

I’ve tested BBPress many times, installed the latest version again yesterday for a test run and tested many plugins, tried customizing themes to see if it would fit my needs etc. and it looks sweet but there’s one thing i can’t tell: would BBPress work fine with many users ? Would it be just as good and even better than FluxBB once i’ve installed the plugins needed and export everything from FluxBB to BBPress ?

Do any of you use BBPress with hundreds of users on a daily basis ? It is running smoothly ? Is it responsive and fast ? It is made to work with huge amount of users and connections ?

Thanx for your feedback. I’d really appreciate any experience you have / had.

[AphelionZ]

I’m trying to get the wordpress functions inside of bbPress and vice versa, and therefore get the buddypress functions into bbPress as well. I tried the method described here: http://labs.b5media.com/blog/creating-the-anypress-solution/ but to no avail. In short, it involves adding this code to the bottom of my bb-config.php file:

// Include WordPress functionality

$currDir = dirname(getcwd());

// Make sure this isn't install or admin (go up if it is)

if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

$currDir = dirname($currDir);



if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

die("Cannot find WordPress integration files.");



error_reporting(E_ALL);

require_once("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php");

The only clues I have from my error logs are a 404 error and a white screen of death when I try to access my forum root, which is at /community. Also, my rewrite log is here: http://pastebin.ca/1572291

Please note that im using an external install of bbPress intentionally because I need the forums to be centrally located and somewhat separate from my blog. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

[John Jordan]

Hi I want to make my bb press forum the same as my wordpress page.

Is there and easy way to do this?

thanks
