Both WordPress and bbPress are sharing the same Cookie for 1 single login: tested.

New bbPress registeration, username and password, can access the WordPress login no problem.

[worrypascanada]

In my 1rst bbPress installation, I had created a bbpress related MySQL table database, via my cPanel, and added existing WordPress users to the new MySQL bbPress database. I did run the bbPress Running Installer and chose an Admin username; this Installer emailed me the Admin password.

In my 2nd bbPress configuration, I configured the config.php file to integrate bbPress to my existing WordPress MySQL database. Then, sometime, I deleted the bbPress MySQL database and bbPress users. I did not run bbPress Running Installer a 2nd time reason my bbPress was available immediately http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/ .

Since, I’ve been capable of reaching the Running Installer needed to create a new Admin username and password.

To your request, I checked again my MySQL database, there are no bbPress MySQL database. Then, I deleted again all bbPress folders/files using my bulletproofFTP. After, I FTP uploaded bbPress folders/files back to /public_html/blogue/bbpress location. Still the same results, http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/ is already up and bbPress never ask me the Running Installer.

What else can I do? Thanks for your patience and support.

Finally found French .mo and .po translation files for bbPress over here:

Everything is now working fine.

I have talked it over with the author of the plugin and we are trying to figure out some code for older mySQL databases. He wrote the plugin for mySQL over version 4 and I have 3.23.58. While the plugin works for me (with many errors) I just need to make a couple of changes to the mySQL statements in the plugin to get rid of the errors.

The plugin in question is located at:

http://dev.mbzeus.net/downloads/bbpress_post_en.zip

The first error I recieved was on the ‘admin page’:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near

'; ' at line 1]

SELECT forum_id,forum_name FROM bb_forums ;

The second errors were when I tried posting a topic in wordpress:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near

'; ' at line 1]

SELECT post_id FROM bb_posts WHERE forum_id=21 AND topic_id=242

AND poster_id=14 AND post_time = '2006-11-05 07:20:10' LIMIT 1;

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near

'topic_posts=1 WHERE topic_id=242 LIMIT 1' at line 1]

UPDATE bb_topics SET topic_last_post_id=,topic_posts=1 WHERE

topic_id=242 LIMIT 1;

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

(output started at/www/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:104) in

/www/html/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 269

If anyone could help me with this I would be greatly appreciated. I am sure it is just changing around the mySQL statements in their formatting, but I can’t seem to figure it out!

[worrypascanada]

Thanks for your support Atsutane,

Here is an update… I did research further and have integrated bbPress to my existing WordPress database. The configured changes are as follow:

(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘***’);

(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘***’);

(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘***’);

(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

$bb->domain = ‘http://patrimoineacadien.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’;

(my bbPress FTP path: /public_html/blogue/bbpress)

$bb->name = ‘Babillard PatrimoineAcadien.com’;

$bb->admin_email = ‘***’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -4; (Eastern Standard Time)

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->akismet_key = false;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://patrimoineacadien.com’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://patrimoineacadien.com’;

I can login bbPress perfectly while using my existing WordPress login information.

I can’t login bbPress with Admin access.

I’m no longer capable of Running the Installer in order to get new Admin access, even after new fresh installation.

I’ve FTP bbpress-integration.php https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/438 file within my WordPress plugins folder (/public_html/blogue/wp-content/plugins), but when I activate within WordPress Control Panel Plugins, the following web page is opening (Shown partially):

While surfing my bbPress, I’m getting the following error:

How can I resolve the above difficulties?

Thanks for your support and patience.

[Tammy Hart]

okay, i figured all that out, but i’m getting a cookie error when i try to go to a topic or forum. I know there’s somthing about cookies in integrating, but i just don’t understand what i’m supposed to do about that.

You can get the plugin from here – http://www.atsutane.net/2006/11/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wordpress/

[Atsutane]

Actually i make a little plugin for wordpress to view some bbpress stuff. For now i only done latest discussion and favorite topic.

[worrypascanada]

Hello,

Need some support configuring my bbPress Config.php file at http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress . My WordPress blog can be found at http://patrimoineacadien.com .

Have patience reason I don’t have advance programming knowledge.

Please continue reading below to find my bbPress Installation related questions.

Thanks a million for your support.

Robert Richard.

_______________________________________

A) Did create a new MySQL database title patrimoi_bbpress, in my cPanel, for my new bbPress installation. Then, I inputted my already known/existing MySQL username and password. Is this correct?

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘***’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘***’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘***’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

Everything seems to look fine for the URL. What do you think?

// 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://patrimoineacadien.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

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

$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Babillard PatrimoineAcadien.com’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘***’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

C) Getting the –1 years behavior. I’m Eastern Standard Time. How do I resolve?

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -4;

D) Did create new folder title languages in the following path bb-includes/languages; then I added fr_FR.mo file into above new folder. French language doesn’t seem to be working. How can I resolve?

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

E) Did I input the Akismet key at the right location?

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->baacc67278bb = true;

F) How do I configure the following in order to integrate my bbPress with my existing WordPress?

// 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 = false; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

To rearrange the stuff, create my-templates directory in your bbpress directory. Make a copy of the files inside bb-templates and copy them to the my-templates.

Edit the front-page.php file. That is where you can rearrange what goes where.

To get the background like here, you have to integrate your bbpress to your wordpress like http://www.abunchofcars.com/forums

[fooddude]

This is a great plugin… but, I don’t want every post to go to bbpress. It would be really cool to have a checkbox, that would only send it to bbpress if it was checked. Anyone care to tackle that?

[flufftronix]

Hi there, I’ve scoured the boards here for a solution to this issue but have only thus far found another instance of the problem. I’m running a WPMU install here and a bbPress install here.

Everything seems to be working fine, short URL’s included, except for user authentication. I can only login through WordPress. Login attempts through bbPress fail with incorrect account info, but don’t do anything with a correct user/pw combination either. WPMU is creating a cookie that bbPress uses, but bbPress seems to be incapable of creating that same cookie I think? Or..? Any ideas?

[gsnixon]

Ok, so I tested all the combinations of the last two versions of WP and BBP… so its obviously something with my configuration.

But I found that if I install and activate the incriminated plug-ins in WordPress before trying to run the install script for BBpress, it returns the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_text' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_rss' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

Now we’re getting somewhere! Anyone? A hint?

[djuggler]

Because I like to be difficult, I have my WordPress installed at ~/siliconholler.com/blog/ and mapped to http://blog.siliconholler.com/. My bbpress installation is in directory ~/siliconholler.com/forum/ and mapped to http://forum.siliconholler.com/

It mostly works. When I try to look at the default topic http://forum.siliconholler.com/topic/1?replies=1 I get a 404. If I try to view a profile http://forum.siliconholler.com/profile/1 I also get a 404.

.htaccess currently has Options +MultiViews and I have also tried the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

My config.php reads:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

…

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

$bb->domain = ‘http://forum.siliconholler.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/’;

$bb->name = ‘Reality Me Discussions’;

$bb->admin_email = ‘validemailaddyhere’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->akismet_key = ‘properkeyhere’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com&#8217;;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com&#8217;;

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

Any suggestions?

djuggler,

exmple.com/blog and examl.com/forums will work fine.

You will probabl need to customize both WordPress’ an bbPress cookies to share logins, though, since bbPres won’t be in subdirectory of WordPress. See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/113?replies=5#post-566

[Atsutane]

1. U need to load wordpress function inside bbpress.

Put this inside config.php “require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”

2. Use wp template tag inside your bbpress template.

For example. Make a clean header.php and put “<?php get_header(); ?>”. Replace it with your bbpress-template header.php.

To make sure bbpress gonna look alike your wp static page. I suggest u try refer single.php or page.php inside your wp theme folder.

Here is my example. Using Kubrick page.php

//Start Header.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<div class=”post” id=”post-forum”>

<div class=”entry”>

//End Header.php

//Example item = front-page.php

//Start Footer.php

</div>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

//End Footer.php

So everytime u load bbpress index.php you will get the same page like your static wp page.

3. Add some of bbpress css style inside your wp css file.

Im sure u not gonna use all bbpress style maybe only some of it. Maybe you can start copy bbpress style from this point “/* Front Page=================================== */” untill the end.

I dont know if this gonna help you but i try my best to keep it simple hope it gonna do some help.

Side note: to load bbpress as wp static page. Create new page, and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”

[djuggler]

Thank you for bbpress!

This thread comes close to answering my question but misses an important concept “where should bbpress code reside to integrate best with wordpress?”: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/38?replies=29

The directory structure I am planning on using:

domainname.com (splash screen, redirect to /blog or whatever)

   |

   |—/blog/ (wordpress code in this subdirectory)

   |

   |—/forum/ (bbpress code in this subdirectory)

   …

Incase the spaces compress I’ll show that another way:

http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)

http://domainname.com/forum/ (bbpress)

Am I making a mistake to not use this directory structure:

domainname.com

   |

   |—/blog/

   …      |

            |—/forum/

            …

http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)

http://domainname.com/blog/forum/ (bbpress)

OR here’s a silly one. Noting that wordpress and bbpress seem to share the same filename only with index.php, should all code be in the same directory: http://domainname.com/ (wordpress and bbpress code here with some magic done to the index.php file? like index.php for wordpress and renaming bbpress’ to index-bb.php)

Which directory structure is going to make for the happiest co-existence of wordpress and bbpress with the intention of having them seemlessly interact? My gut feeling is that it just doesn’t matter as long as wp-config.php gets included within the config.php for bbpress.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’ve just had one hell of a night trying to figure out this bbP/wP integration stuff. Eventually, I thought I’d do a clean test install and work from there to see if I could isolate the issue, so I installed:

BBpress 0.7.3

WordPress 2.0.5

on

Apache 2.0.59

mySQL 5.0.19

PHP 4.4.4

via MAMP on Mac OS 10.4.8

with WP in root and BBpress as subdirectory “discussions”.

I then configured wp-config.php and config.php like so:

<?php

define('DB_NAME', 'database');

define('DB_USER', 'root');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define ('WPLANG', '');

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

?>

and

<?php

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

define('BBDB_NAME', 'database');

define('BBDB_USER', 'root');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

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

$bb->name = 'the Forum';

$bb->admin_email = 'email@email.com';

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -8;

define('BBLANG', '');

$bb->akismet_key = '***********';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

?>

(the 8888/9 ports are MAMP defaults; 192.168.0.149 is the LAN IP of the computer I’m running this on)

Then I ran the install scripts, and lo and behold, everything seemed to be working great. Then I began to add plugins one by one, and, to make a long story short, found that:

Whenever the Sidebar Widgets plugin was activated along with a separate widget (including those included with it, del.icio.us and google, as well as akismet, which has a widget built-in), trying to load a BBpress page would yield a blank page. However, if Sidebar Widgets was activated but no widget plugins were, it would work fine–I could even use the integrated widgets (RSS, categories, calendar, etc) on the blog. Likewise, if Sidebar Widgets is deactivated, but all the widgets are activated, it still works fine.

Also: the Front Page Topics plug-in for bbPress, regardless of any other plugins in wP or bbP, yields a similar blank page on posting a new reply, starting a new topic, making a new forum, or logging out. If I go back and refresh, the topic/reply/forum HAS been created… but the logout attempt is UNsuccessful. Like I said, I tried this with no bb or wp plugins, as well as a variety of them, and its always the same result.

Ok, its 4:15 in the morning, I have class at 8 and I’m going to go pass out, but hopefully this is enough information for someone to tell me what gives…

Thanks for reading/any help.

hi,everybody i install wordpress and bbpress successful

the next i want to do is make bbpress use the wordpress’s theme

first i edit config.php,

add:

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

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

for example

<?php

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

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

then , copy bb-templates/ directory to my-templates/

edit my-templates/header.php

add <?php get_header() ?> in it

my-templates/foot.php

add <?php get_foot() ?> in it

but the appear some mistake

[preckie]

my wordpress site is located at my domain name/wordpress. god, i need to figure this thing out. i also renamed the config-sample.php huhu! let me try this later and see if it works.. thanks so much for the help!

[peiqinglong]

I would start styling the table. Copy and paste the original code from the style.css from the bbpress into your new theme and then go from there.
