Hmmm… I am going to have to dig into this a bit later. It looks like it is going to take some work. I am actually trying to integrate product advertisements that I have set up in wordpress to be pulled into my forum template. Not exactly sure how to do it. At first I imagined that I would create another directory in the root that both WP and bbP could share from, but I will have to check into this later.

It would be awesome if WP and bbPress could share includes seamlessly.

Anyhow, I have to get back to building the actual forum before I get caught up and miss our goal.

If any other ideas or etc. come up, please share.

Thanks Trent!

On my setup, (different system, same concept),

i used a centralized mysql table which contains a mesh of all of the variables of all systems!. The reason wy i did that is, some of these usertables contain information which would change the bahaviour of the software, such as roll, last login etc. SO its not a mater of authentication and session ONLY. You also need the other stuff!!!.

i ALSO used a single portal for signup/signin. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SCARY (assuming that thinking does’nt hurt your brain). A good IDE will get everything done for you (search replace globally, find all instances of a function etc).

I reccomend http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ as an editor, and use PHP IDE as an ide ontop of eclipse. Be patiant, if you have’nt installed before, it could be a bit strang, but do take a better part of a weekend to figure out hw it works. TRUST ME, php will be your bizatch afterwards

Spencer, was just hoping for a quick clarification on all this: Did you use the same MySQL database for everything? In the thread here you use terms like “MediaWiki database” and “WP database,” but I’m wondering whether that actually just means the MediaWiki tables and the WP tables, all contained in one MySQL database. Do tell.

Thanks,

Nate

mdawaffe,

I’m sorry, I just saw your request today, so I was not able to give your suggestion a try, but it looks like the issue was resolved.

I have been focusing on our templates for our WordPress site the last 2 weeks, but now I am back in the mix to get our forum up and running.

Its good to be back @ bbPress.

All the Best,

Orion

Hey Community,

I am trying to link to an image in the “my-templates” directory for my bbpress template. When editing templates in WordPress I used:

<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>

Is there something similar that I can use for bbPress?

I tried:

<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>

& it didn’t work.

Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

Yeah, I’ve got that. Seems like this might be something to add to the next version of that plugin.

Anyway, thanks again Atsutane for your great plugin and the fast updates!

[Atsutane]

Maybe u gonna need this plugin

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress-integration.0.74.zip

[Staffan]

Alright. I’ve done some investigations and I think I know why I get a blank space: when a new user registers through bbPress it seems like he’s not given any “display name”.

[Trent Adams]

$bb->path = '/bbpress/';

I am also assuming that you don’t want to integrate the logins with WP then as you don’t have your wordpress information for integration.

Thanks, I was just about to give up.

I’m able to successfully install the bbpress. I’m installing it in a subdirectory of my PUBLIC_HTML

directory. So I have:

public_html/bbpress

public_html/wp-content

public_html/wp-admin

etc.

I run domain.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Everything seems okay. Then I log in at domain.com/forums and bam!… nothing but Error 404 – Not Found.

I find it strange after I login I’m directed right to my WordPress template with the 404 error. Initially I tried integrating with WordPress, but now I’m trying to get this running very simply: no mod_rewrite, no integration, disabled any plugins that might be interfering (home page control), etc.

I uninstalled (dropped all bb_ tables) and reinstalled several times but same result.

Any advice?

[Atsutane]

Correct me if i wrong .. by default when a user is regis. WP will set the “display name” equal to “username”. I try the code already and i dont get a blank name Anyway maybe i will change the code to do a double check.

[larmir]

No, we haven’t. Chrishajer’s (Chris) been graciously helping me off the forum since I’m working with a private forum. He’s spent quite a bit of time on this and hasn’t found a solution. He had some great ideas, they just didn’t work. My next step is to contact my host and talk with them. They host WordPress so perhaps they know something indepth about bbPress. If I find a solution, I’ll let you know.

I do want to thank Chris for all the time and effort he’s put into this for me. Thank you, Chris.

[Staffan]

Great. Thank you! There’s only one little problem: if the user haven’t entered a nickname no name at all is shown. I guess it should be written so that if the user has a nick name – show nick name; if the user dosen’t – show username.

[Atsutane]

I update the plugin already .. Now it gonna show “display name” instead of “username” like before. Tell me how it going

[bbolman]

Yeah, I think the localhost bit might be your problem. I’m hoping soon bbPress will get an automatic installer like the newer WordPress has. That would save everyone a ton of support questions effort I feel.

Does anybody know how to combine this great little plugin with the Use display name plugin? I want the it to show my nickname instead of my username.

[bbolman]

who knows…maybe CalendarPress will be coming soon. I joke, but really, I would try integrating wordpress and bbpress, and then using the event calendar plugin for wordpress. It is not full-screen unfortunately, but it is a very good calendar for keeping track of events.

Searching hotscripts brings up 261 results! ! ! Not sure (as I have never used one before) which one would be best for you, but until someone gets you on the straight and arrow it is a place to start searching!

As well, sometimes they have these kinds of discussions on WP.org forums:

I just installed bbpress and went through all the steps to integrate it with WordPress and so far everything is fine except that the times are screwed up. For example, the freshness of all posts is -1 (that’s negative 1) even though the posting times are perfect. That seems to be it and I can’t fix it. Any ideas?

[Stefano Aglietti]

If some strings are not translated it’s cause they are missing to be included nto the internationalization functions, and this is a bug, You can open a ticket on trac about untraslated strings so they will be corrects annd included into pot. file.

For info about internationalizion and stuff you can refer to WordPress COdex searching for internationalizazion and localization, the info you will find there arcan be applied to bbpress also.

[JzL]

I have an existent wordpress install. I successfully installed bbpress and have the db pulling from wp install for the users. Now I want to try and wrap my wp around bbpress utilizing my existent header and footer in wordpress.

bbpress – v0.74

wordpress – 2.0.6

I have been searching everywhere looking where to start but alot say I need to set ('WP_BB', true); in the (bbpress) config.php. In this version of bbpress, it’s not in there. Am I missing something?

[mouse8b]

In the default template’s register.php, I replaced the registration form with a message and link and it seems to have worked just fine. ( http://www.bandtr.com/wordpress/bbpress/ ). If there are some other factors at work that I am not aware of and need to know about, please let me know.

[Trent Adams]

Nope….bbpress-integration goes in WP and wordpress-integration goes in bbPress!
