ok, i did something like that in my front site, and everything seem to be working ok, but:

– look at forum and at wordpress- there is a little difference between them. text in forum is on the left, out from the table.

– in my bb-admin page i have bad encoding (im polish), i have to use the unicode, dunno what bbpress uses

how to add (activate) plugins for bbpress? i want to have display-name plugin to change moderators names

Make sure that when you enter: require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’);, it’s absolute path. For example: /home/username/archas/ram/wordpress/

To find out what your absolute path is:

1) make a file and call it path.php

2) add this code into the path.php: <?php $p = getcwd(); echo $p; ?>

3) upload it to your wordpress directory and access it http://www.cs.elomza.pl/archas/ram/wordpress/path.php, that will output your path.

Hey Community,

We are getting closer to the launch of our site, and we are still having trouble with our bbpress title lengths interfering with our wordpress layout.

You can see our bbpress forum locations spread through out the site.

http://208.109.218.158

Is there any way to put a limit on the length of titles so they don’t break our site? We are using the same setup as described above.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it means some sort of a temp css fix to hide overflow.

Thanks,

Orion

What have you done? You have to give details of what you did because I (maybe others) cannot translate what you did into a fix without you telling us what exactly you have done…..

what can i do

[jameskirsop]

My development machine is a local install of Apache/PHP/mySQL on my PowerBook running under OS 10.4.9.

I’ve tried installing bbPress within a folder of my wordpress installation for a project I’m working on, but I’m getting blank pages from bbPress (ie. no content at all – just a white page). WordPress installed and works fine, but I can’t even get to the point of installing bbPress.

I’m running PHP 5.1.6 and mySQL 5.0.22-standard.

Anyone got any suggestions on how I can get content showing on the pages?

[victorcastelan]

I have integrated bbpress with wordpress without problems.

To have the same header in bbpress and word press I include

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

in the config.php in bbpress, then I edit the header.php (bbpress) with some wordpress functions.

It’s runs ok, but the bbpress admin interfase can’t load.

There are some comments about?

[Trent Adams]

What do you mean? The second link from so10? I don’t know why it didn’t work for you. Search around the forums as there are people have have gotten the integration with a wordpress theme done.

As I stated above, I use the first link and built a theme from scratch. In my opinion, there is no real ‘easy’ way to build a theme by including a file from WP that I have found, but I will stand correctly if someone can explain to me now. Good luck!

i did what u wrote. look at this… : http://cs.elomza.pl/archas/ram/wordpress/forum

links on the left don’t work. no header.

[Trent Adams]

Many people including myself have implemented the themes of bbPress and WordPress by actually making a theme in bbPress that looks like WordPress. There is information creating theme available here. As well, doing what you wanted has been tried and documented on these forums before, so I would suggest a quick search. I know so10 has a patch on his site at:

http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/

Hope that helps!

doesn’t work whats wrong /

[fel64]

Possibly you need to go up two or three directories, since config.php is called somewhere else? I have no idea really. Just try an absolute or base URL, such as http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php or /wordpress/wp-blog-header.php, hopefully that will work If it doesn’t you can probably be sure it’s something else.

[archasek]

hi.

everything works well but i just cant add header from wordpress. i add to my bbpress config:

require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ )

my directories look like this:

/wordpress – here is the wordpress

/wordpress/forum – here is the bbpress

whats wrong ?

and i want to remove ‘views part’ .

[c00l2sv]

I wasn’t asking to remove the whole ajax staff.

I was asking to reduce it. Once we need only ajax http requests feature, why we should use the whole lib?

Can’t we just write a function for that?

It would be also great to had the possibility of including or not including any ajax libs in forums API, those already predefined and distributed with the bbPress or WordPress?!

Still unresolved…..

[boomanfloral]

Hi,

I’m new to bbpress, and I’m trying to install it. I already use wordpress. There are lots of posts that talk about integration, but I’m not sure what ‘integration’ really means.

Is there a site where I can look and see an example of ‘integration’? What are the benefits? How do a BLOG and FORUM integrate? Thank you!

Is there a problem on Windows servers, or just on localhost on Windows?

Of course my suggestion is only a temporary solution. But I am of the belief that the QA or dev server should be the same configuration as the production server, to eliminate the possibility of bugs being introduced when you go live. Installing this on localhost on a Windows desktop machine and ‘making it work’ when your production site is on a linux server seems to me like too much work.

With bbPress still being beta, I’m not too worried about it. WordPress 1.0-RC1 was released somewhere around Jan 1 2004. Their version before that, 0.72 beta1 was released in August 2003. There’s certainly time to get it right.

[Fakey]

How about installing a linux distro in house since your server is linux also?

That’s a temporary solution, but once bbPress goes final and gets publicity the likes of WordPress, this Windows/localhost problem will need to be addressed.

[wenkong]

I see that forum in WordPress.org have this toolbar function in reply text area, is it tinyMCE or whatelse Editor?

You could disable it just to see if that’s the problem. In addition to removing or modifying the .htaccess file, you need to set

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

in your config. That will turn off the rewriting completely. Both need to be working for the pretty permalinks to work (i.e. the .htaccess is present, and the $bb->mod_rewrite = true. It doesn’t work on all servers though. Oddly, it works for my WordPress just fine, but not for bbPress which is in a subdirectory, so I have mine set to false for bbPress.)

I would disable it for now, just to see if that’s causing your problem.

[spencerp]

Yeah, I setup Xampp Lite on my computer to be able to run WordPress and bbPress. Then I modify things, and play with it on the localhost before uploading things to my live sites/forums..

[kessel]

I can access everything. I can log in and log out to WordPress, Coppermine, phpMyAdmin –basically everything.

bbpress still tells me it can’t find the username.

[flatworm]

I changed all the settings. Now it is the same way I had it at first:

Then I changed domain to the one it told me to, and it loaded as a page with no graphics, full of error messeges. I remember, that I installed it sucessfuly long ago, by installing it, then changing config to the correct settings.

I saved the previous version of config, so it is not the worst.

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressconfig.php:67) in C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressbb-admininstall.php on line 9

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressconfig.php:67) in C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.php on line 1819

First Step

Make sure you have everything (database information, email address, etc.) entered correctly in config.php before running this script.

Your $bb->domain setting must only include the http:// and the domain name; it may not include any directories or path information.

Current settings

$bb->domain: http://localhost/wordp

Are you using the Role Manager (or a similar) plugin in WP? That causes registration through bbPress to set new users as an Admin in WP. I disabled my bbPress registration because of that and just run everyone through WP registration instead.

[wittmania]

I would like to force users to register via the WP blog that my bbpress install is integrated with. Is there any fast and easy way to do this?

I know I could probably crawl through the code and hard code the link so it goes to the WP registration screen instead, but I was hoping someone might have a different suggestion. Also, forcing them to log in through wordpress would be kind of nice as well.

Call me crazy, but I’m still a little cautious about running registration and login through the BBpress side.
