Hi all,

sadly bbsync still doesn’t work AFAIK and so I’ll probably head with SMF.

At least SMF has this.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-to-smf-forum/

I wish bbpress where a truly “out of the box” solution with all the SMF features already built in.

I wish bbpress were a plugin, or in WP core, so that all I had to do was click a few buttons and it was there.

I wish this WP/forum plugin also had a bbsync blog-post-to-forum-post automatic function that I could just switch on, also WP core.

But it isn’t. BBpress seems to have all sorts of issues integrating with WP. I may as well just operate 2 separate databases, and keep the thing simple. Once users have logged in and accepted the cookies they don’t have to keep logging in anyway… they’re auto-logged in. If a WP post can be automatically shunted across to SMF as an SMF post with an automated link to that post, wow!

It’s my deep pleasure to launch my WPMU+BuddyPress+bbPress. Please take a look at http://jazz.or.id

This is community website for Jazz Lovers in Indonesia. We know there are many website using WordPress, but not many about jazz.

Dedicated to Matt Mullenweg, because he loves Jazz. Does someone else also like Jazz?

Please give comments for the design and content, I am hoping so much from you all, because you know better than me.

@gerikg

installing bbPress in a sub folder doesn’t cause any issues. I have integrated several setups like that without even using the integration plugin which has many supporters without which they can’t be integrated.

Things may be different if bbPress isn’t installed in a sub directory as I haven’t tried that.

Hi Guys,

Currently I’ve reinstalled bbpress to new version 1.0.2 I do fresh installation of bbpress to a new location, then I import the data from old bbpress database 1 by 1.

Since I’m installed the bbpress directly integrated with my wordpress, I saw there is no table bb_tags.

How to restore this and where should I put the bb_tags data ?

Since I saw now bbpress using wp_users as user management data, where do I found for this tags ?

Thanks in advance.

[gerikg]

ashfame, what about the cookie path… and the wordpress intergration option on bbpress dashboard?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Assuming you’re talking about deep integration of bbPress, you should be able to use one of the constants defined in the settings of WordPress MU / BuddPress to determine if bbPress is embedded or not.

How do you write the php code to say

if in a bbpress side

do this

if wordpress (or else) do that.

?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Try integrating as per this tutorial of mine on a test install : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

Just follow closely and you should be fine.

It is compatible with WordPress 2.8.4? Thanks.

[gerikg]

Okay I found a few things. I don’t know if it matters but I just try to mimic what I had. I’m not an expert.

I don’t know if this was a factor: You didn’t have enough keys (Salts weren’t used)

You got your keys from here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

I got my keys from here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt

I added the new keys to both files.

You had the COOKIEPATH in wp-config but not in bb-config (again I don’t know if it matters but I do it anyway) I copied it onto bb-config. I also moved that line to the top before anything else, just in case.

And that was that.

I notice you had the wrong URL to the forums (/bb-press/ instead of /bbpress/) but that was to get the cookie path and it didn’t matter either way.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Using IE on it doesn’t work at all for me. How weird… http://www.oraclepronet.com/techzone/index.php loads fine though on first try, so it might be something to do with how the server is handling the directory index rather than bbPress. Your version of WordPress has security holes by the way, you might want to upgrade.

[Tomcraft1980]

Hi there,

is there a way to build canonical URLs like WordPress does? WordPress automatically redirects http://domain.tld to http://www.domain.tld and I would like bbPress to do so too.

This is needed to prevent duplicate content on your site.

kind regards

Tom

bbpress registrations via facebook connect is not so strange, but there is no plugin at the moment, check facebook connect plugin from wordpress, maybe you can change it that it works.

btw. that would be a great feature.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I think should do it, it’s based off code here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window

Change the values of $forums to the forum IDs of those you wish to restrict (it’ll only work on direct parent forums, not grandparents or categories, I don’t want to include walker code unless people need it).

Tested on 1.0.2 trunk, so I’m not 100% sure it’ll run on 0.9, sorry.

@Hanratty: hiding links using CSS visibility will still leave the link URLs in the code, which isn’t too desirable for some

[gerikg]

This is how I’m doing it. Please, this is not the official how to on this.

PART 1

COPY Kakemi theme into my-template. Open Style.css and change this line, Theme Name: Kakumei

I changed it to Theme Name: Kakumei (Edited Theme)

Activate it, you’ll see Kakumei’s screen shot but Kakumei (Edited Theme) as it’s name.

Then open style.css of the Edited Theme and open the CSS of the WordPress theme. Their might be multiple css so look out. I make a line in the style.css at the bottom.

/*********************** WPTHEME *******************

Then start with Header.php and footer.php start copying over the codes from WP theme to BBpress theme. Slowly start looking at the classes it that the header uses and start bringing in the codes from the WP to BBpress CSS. BEWARE some of them uses the same class! so rename the WP one not the BBpress one!!! You will have to replace all the div tags and such. The only one I recommend to keep in the header is the <div id="main"> at the end. The same with the footer. but remember to put an extra </div> on the top to cover the <div id="main"> in the header. Start with that. If you can get the hang of it then you’ll be able to continue.

What happened so far…

Okay I looked through the file. Yangers101 was on the right track. There were some extra lines in the wp-config:

$bb->cookiepath = '';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '';

I took those out.

The problem: “www.” The WPMU was configured to be on website.com/blogs (without the www.)

so all the settings needed to be without the “www.” or with. One or the other on both WPMU & BBpress.

Since his host forced the www. We had to put all the www. in the configuration. BBpress didn’t like the www. in the dashboard so he logged into his DB and manually changed it.

I have buddypress install with bbforum integration working as far as it shares users etc and if you login you are logged in to both sites.

However, I can’t log out of the other if i logged in with

For example if i log in using WordPress and go to my forums I am logged in but can not log out from that location, i have to go back to wordpress to logout.

The same if I login through forum I can go to wordpress and I am logged in but I can not log out, I have to go back to forum to logout.

Clicking logout button does nothing in either scenerio.

[yangers101]

Thanks gerikg! I just emailed you.

I don’t even want to post what I have so far. Are there any suggestions or walk throughs on how to port themes? I searched but didn’t find much.

thanks

Okay, I’ve fixed it and it’s working at the moment!

I forgot the settings in wp-admin/options.php for WordPress itself.

[hopeful4info]

Would the fact that I have bbPress working in a iframe in one of the wordpress pages be causing any problems?

[hopeful4info]

I have both wordpress and the bbpress (FOLDER) in the members directory. So where it asks for Blog address (URL) should it be https://my_site/members/ or should it be https://my_site/members/bbpress/

I’ve tried both ways and neither works. Just a scattered thought.

[hopeful4info]

Hmmm, again. I did open up, side by side, the WordPress config file and the bbpress config file and made absolutely sure that AUTH_KEY=BB_AUTH_KEY and that SECURE_AUTH_KEY=BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY and that LOGGED_IN_KEY=BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY. So, this may not be what we are looking for.

I’m wondering about the “User Role Map” settings: (Below is how I set them)

WordPress Administrator = bbPress Administrator

WordPress Editor = bbPress Member

WordPress Author = bbPress Member

WordPress Contributor = bbPress Member

WordPress Subscriber = bbPress Member

[gerikg]

look through your BB-press dashboard –> Settings—>wordpress intergration

[hopeful4info]

Hmmm, that’s interesting. I ftp’d the options-wordpress.php file down from the site and opened it in Dreamweaver. I recognize some of the comments in this as being from the “wordpress Integration settings as found in the Settings/Wordpress Integration tab of the Admin section of bbpress. This is where I set the “User Role Map”, WordPress Address (URL), Blog Address (URL), auth cookie salt, secure auth cookie salt, and logged in cookie salt.

HOWEVER, when I look into the actual options-wordpress.php file (as ftp’d down from the site) and open it up, the php code still seems to be asking for those items??? I just copied a bit of the code from that file and pasted it below. Please advise,

<table>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘WordPress’); ?></th>

<td></td>

<th><?php _e(‘bbPress’); ?></th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>AUTH_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_AUTH_KEY</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>SECURE_AUTH_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>LOGGED_IN_KEY</td>

<td><=></td>

<td>BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY</td>

</tr>
