As I had said in my blog post, I have those plugins up and running, but.. the problem is that those that register on the bbPress forums, are not able to post comments on my blog, as their username..?

Plugins are:

WordPress Integration (0.7)

bbPress Integration (0.72)

Display-Name

bbPress Post (0.02)

It’s not pulling their email address, and their nicknames have to be assigned by me, in the blog’s control panel, under USERS? I’d hate to have to edit each USER on my blog, so they can post as their “nickname or username”.. rather then “Anonymous”..

Anyone with suggestions, and so forth?

Hello. I am trying to install bbpress under a WP2.0.5 install at http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/ . I have gone through the documentation for integration at http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ and looks like things come up fine.

However, when i add an entry, or click on a tag (e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/tags/mytag) i see a blank page! not sure why.

Its the same issue when I try to click on a forum topic – e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/topic/2?replies=1

The variables in the config file are

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.inkriti.net’;

$bb->path = ‘/wp1/forums/’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

This appears to be a wierd issue – i know i am missing somethign simple. IN particular I see that both $bb->wp_siteurl and $bb->wp_home are different from $bb->domain – could this be it?

Any help will be appreciated.

Kinda shooting in the dark here, but will it install as http://localhost/forum/bb-admin/install.php ?

I am not sure if bbPress has to be installed with a fully qualified domain name or not.

Maybe check out this thread as well in your search.

(I know it is MU WordPress, but same principle may apply)

If you haven’t figured this out already, but there is a plugin for doing this at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4?replies=1 and it does the following:

Share user accounts between your WordPress blog and your bbPress forums.

This plugin ensures current WordPress users can use the forum. As for registrations in bbPress and adding them to WordPress Users, check out:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/438

It is a WordPress plugin to bring across the information for bbPress registrations.

My blog is setup so users can register in WP or bbPress because with these 2 plugins, it doesn’t matter where they register.

Thanks,

Trent

Standard WordPress location:

/wp-content/themes/blix/

BBPress is located:

/forum/

BBPress template is:

/forum/my-templates/

[Trent Adams]

First off, you are missing a slash to seperate the forum and all the URL’s that it generates. The actual place you installed bbPress is:

http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil/Forum/

You need to adjust some things in your config.php file in the bbPress root (above directory)

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

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

As to make sure it integrates, config.php should have something like this:

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = wp_; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

Keep in mind this is no exactly depending on whether this is just WP or WPMU that you are using. As well, this assumes that you have those addresses in your WP options as well.

I think you will get the idea from this example though.

where’s blix located ? on bbpress or wordpress templates folder ?

[benebomber]

Hi,

I got a Problem using bbPress with WordPress-Integration on the Server of my University.

First Problem: There’s obviously no Stylesheet for the Forum-Site.

Second Problem: When I Try to login to bbPress, there’s just a window which shows me that I don’t have permission to use this Site. I think that means that there isn’t any such Folder bbPress is looking for. Because when i’m looking up in my FTP-Client, this Folder isn’t listed. It’s “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil/Forumprofile/1”.

The Domain is “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/” and WordPress is located in “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil”.

I’ve got no idea what the Problem is. Please, anyone, can You help me???

SInce bbpress emphasizes so much that it can share the database with WordPress, it really should be written so that if you drop it in a WP subdirectory it automagically blends in with the WP installation. There seems to be no way other than hacking themes to get the bbs to look right, when this shouldn’t be an issue IMHO. Isn’t there a way to say … “if we’re sharing a WP database, then look here for the theme.”?

[Trent Adams]

I don’t think WP user roles can be used in bbPress yet. In bbPress, you are either a user, a bozo or not registered. WordPress obviously has more roles. Unless I am missing something, that is where we are until someone writes a plugin or they change the bbPress core.

Good to here Spencer!

I’ve integrated with WordPress and I’ve noticed that there is no easy way for users to return to my site after visiting the forum.

I’m a newbie, and was wondering if there is an easy way to put this together?

Would this be useful?

Thanks!

[spencerp]

UPDATE! Nevermind.. I got it working on ANOTHER BLOG of mine, lmao!

http://www.spencerp.net/forums/

I’m able to login to the bbpress forums, using my BLOG USER and PASS now.. WOOT WOOT!! I know what to do now, for when installing it on the main blog…. whee!!

[spencerp]

Don’t spank me, but..I had tried doing this Integration stuff, and some how deleted those two usermeta tables at the very top of the database list, the two that sit above all the other ones, listed in the main wordpress database…

Dang, I should have written the names down.. But, deleted those bb_forums ones too.. and then when trying to do it fresh again, for the Integration deal.. I filled out the field for the Keymaster name, and forum name.. hit to go to second step.. and it said, Bad Username, or, Username don’t exist, go back and try again…

Then I was basically forced to skip the Integration option, and do it the normal way sigh.. Anyone have a database (query) schema for those two tables I deleted? Or, maybe can shed some light onto my darkened room.. ?

Thanks in advanced..

[spencerp]

I’m not sure why, or what’s going on, maybe I missed something.. But, when trying to mark a thread [Resolved] in here, it doesn’t seem to show up as [Resolved].. like it does on the WordPress.org forums..? Is this supposed to happen, or.. ?

spencerp

[spencerp]

Oh wait, slaps self.. I just noticed this: “We’ve only tested bbPress integration with the most recent stable release of WordPress, 2.0.5.”

Alright, hmm.. maybe I’ll give it a shot then once.. maybe, I will have to cross the fingers though lol.. Wish me luck peoples!

Suleiman: I’ve never done plugins for wordpress, but I imagine that it shouldn’t be too bad.

Circuit: thanks for the css fix

[antonskey]

thanks, that worked great, now if only i could get the bbpress->wordpress plugin working

[Trent Adams]

Anyone have an idea? I can’t stand having to have registration through WordPress because it gets more spam registrations than bbPress….

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Userbase is still increasing on this software as the first real release wasn’t that long ago. I just starting using this 2 or 3 weeks ago and came across your thread last night.

If you still need help, there are more and more people looking at this thread that can give you some insight.

0. XAMPPlite installation on a USB thumbdrive

with ‘WordPress’, ‘Mediawiki’, ‘Vanilla’, Gallery2′ running smoothly

1. BBPress install complete

2. See forum page, login

3. Write a post, click ‘send post’

4. Get a ‘page isn’t redirecting properly …. maybe cookie warning’

5. On Forum main page the post is visible, a click brings above warning

6. Check again config. php $bb-> path = ‘/’; and ‘settings. php’; can’t find the wrong reference ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’ I entered in 1st install page (and changed in config. php to ‘/’.

7. Can someone point out the file to change?

Thanks for your help

Detailed log of events below

0. XAMPPlite installation on a USB thumbdrive

with ‘WordPress’, ‘Mediawiki’, ‘Vanilla’, Gallery2′ running smoothly

1. Extracted bbpress into htdocs directory

2. Changed bbpress config.php (see below)

3. Started install and went throught step 1 (see below), step 2 (got password) and

4. Came to the site ‘knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum (typing: ‘http://localhost/bbpress/’)

(strangely ugly, so apparently theme did not load, somewhere I set a wrong path?)

5. Tried to login: Access forbidden!

=>You don’t have permission to access the requested object.

It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

6. Clicked on any other link on the forum page and got the same result

7. Checked config file of ‘Vanilla’ (‘settings.php’) there the same parameter worked (irrelevant as Vanilla is Vanilla and bbpress/bbpress)

=>Note: Write protection can not be the problem as it is XAMPPlite on a PC so nothing is protected

8. Changed config.php $bb->path =’/’; and now I can see my forum

9. Login, okay

10. Go to ‘Topic – ADD NEW’ and write a new topic, click ‘Send Post’ and get

11. ‘The page isn’t redirecting properly’ This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies’

12. Start the never used IE and with ‘localhost/bbpress’ go to the forum. click on any link and get (after long wait) nothing

13. In Firefox try other links it all goes to the same ‘the page isn’t redirecting properly (cookies are enabled)

=> So I think in 1step install the ‘Location: X:htdocsbbpress’ has to be changed but in what file?

14. Check ‘settings.php and register.php’ but the wrong string ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’ from below is not found.

15. Do you have an answer?

bbpress config file

// define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’);

// define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’);

// define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);

// define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// $bb->domain = ‘http://localhost/bbpress’;

// $bb->path = ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’; (=> changed to ‘/’; and could access forum, add a post, but can’t see)

// $bb->name = ‘knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum’;

1step install

login name: admin

website: http://localhost/bbpress/

location: X:htdocsbbpress/

Did you get this going?

[mattmoo]

Check it out here http://bigonions.net/wp-forums/ it works well with http://bigonions.net/ my MU blog but it is in no way dynamic and is simply a copy of my main theme.

I will, however, release it once it is finished and will provide some kind of tutorial on how i did it as it seems people here are interested.

It is of course not finished at all as i am still editing most of it but you can see the header etc is working ok.

Thanks

Matt

Probably quotes:

$bb->wp_home = "http://canadanoise.com"; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash
