I was wondering if someone could edit the plugin bbPress-Post so that comments are shown in WordPress from the forum replies or have new comments in WP itself be added as posts to the topic in bbPress. Would this be difficult or possible?

Thanks,

Trent

Sorry, one more thing. An example of this is my forum if you want a look (click on my name in this post). I was using Nucleus and phpbb for comments and moved over to WordPress for new posts and eventually moved phpBB to bbPress.

I haven’t heard of an export from bbPress to WordPress, but I don’t imagine that someone couldn’t write one in a hurry if they understand both programs. If you already have posts in punbb, you could easily export those posts to phpbb format and then use the import from phpbb to bbPress.

If you already have your comments and posts in a forum, why not setup a new WordPress blog once you have all your posts imported into bbPress and then have all new posts in WordPress go to bbPress for comments and further discussion. That way, all your old posts are already in the forum and all new posts will end up there as well. This is easily done with the bbPress-Post plugin. All new wordpress articles are created in bbPress and a link is placed in the wordpress post to the corresponding bbPress post.

Just something to think about.

Hey folks.

I’m currently using punbb and snews, and I’m interesting in switching over to wordpress and bbpress. I honestly should’ve used wordpress in the first place, but new things frighten me (lol)…

Anyways, what I’d like to do is put all my punbb posts into wordpress – and the only way I can see that happening is if I first import all the posts from punbb (to phpbb) to bbress and then to wordpress.

That’s probably overly complicated, but I can’t imagine how else this is possible and I have no real technical skill –so what I’m wondering is how difficult would it be to get the posts from bbress to wordpress? (or maybe someone has another suggestion.)

Thanks for all the great work.

[suleiman]

how difficult would it be to have the avatar work in wordpress too?

[peiqinglong]

Ok, I got a slight problem, I’m trying to use WP PHP Functions such as bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); and what not, but it doesn’t work in BBPress. I added require_once(‘path-to-my-wordpress-config.php-file’) and it seems to load fine, but I still can’t use WP functions. I put that that require_once inside the config.php. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hello boys, I have installed the last version of bbpress, are successful to make integration with wordpress, now I must reply the lay-out of mine blog. I have read to all the topic of the forum, trying I have uncovered that the instructions do not work. You could explain to me the procedure to execute?

Excused my bad English!

[Trent Adams]

I actually posted something in the wordpress forums, but I never did place a link here showing my integration of my bbpress theme with my current wordpress theme.

I just finished installing bbPress for the first time, and I like it very much. I just wanted to say great job!

It was very easy to customize the template to match my custom WordPress theme.

If you would like to check it out, it is at http://www.dagondesign.com/forum/

If anyone gets anywhere with this it would be nice to see an implementation. I’m planning (currently working on) a wordpress/bbpress site that will probably need a wiki somewhere along the line.

I’m useing wp 2.0.5 and bbpress 0.73

Anyone?

Hey, I’m interested in the idea of doing free bbPress hosting, much like WordPress.com is doing for WordPress. I have a lot of experience in this area, having done it with other forum software, and even doing some experimental multi-WordPress work even before mu came out. If you’re a PHP coder, MySQL admin, and/or Internet entrepreneur, contact me!

If you’ve got your WP+BB sharing a DB, then you can sidestep the need for changes to the BB admin UI, in which case, “all” you need to do is add template hooks that cause that plugin to insert it’s adverts in the right place (example).

[putrimalu]

Hello,

I have this Adsense sharing plugin with my WordPress.

http://adsense.ayanev.com/

If I integrate BBPress with my WordPress, will ads placed in BBPress also have the same effect – to give the topic starter half the profits?

If not, anyone know a way to accomplish this? Thanks!

Hello world

I need help from you.

http://www.glosar-media.ro – it’s the domain

http://www.glosar-media.ro/forum – here is the forum

It dosen’t seems to be integrating with WP

1. I want to colect users from WP db

2. I can’t login, the user & pass dosen’t work…

Pls help!

My config.php:

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

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

// 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.glosar-media.ro'; // 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/';				   // Example: '/forums/'

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name   = 'New bbPress Site';

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

$bb->admin_email = '[edited by Trent]';

// 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;

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

$bb->gmt_offset = +2;

// 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->akismet_key = false;

// 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 = true;  // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

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

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

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.

//define('WP_BB', true);

/* Stop editing */

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

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

?>

Thx for your time!

Experimenting with AuthPress, but having some probs.

Authentication seems to work fine, but users are unable to change and save their MediaWiki preferences. When users click “save” after changing a pref, some processing goes on but nothing gets saved. Any ideas?

Running bbPress 0.73 and MediaWiki 1.68.

In the post on the WordPress dashboard annoucing bbPress, it said…

If we could re-write WP from scratch, it would be a lot like bbPress

What does this mean in general? What about the bbPress implementation architecture makes is ‘better’ than WordPress?

[Trent Adams]

That would be great! I was actually suprised that Akismet doesn’t stop the registrations as well as the comments considering the power that it has. I can’t seem to find any way to limit spam registrations on bbPress, but something may exist.

If we can stop the ‘bozo’ user from integrating over to the WordPress side, then would it be best to leave that ‘bozo’ user in bbPress? Would it be worth having something that would delete ‘bozo’ users automatically at some point?

What would you recommend I do about this?

Thank you kindly,

Trent Adams

An interesting situation I’ll look into it.

Thanks for bring it up!

[sidzzz]

I take my above comment back this isnt in an open discussion forum. Next time i will try to be more constructive

[sidzzz]

hmm, I dint know spam bots were on to this already… i guess they can still have a profile on BBpress and have a link and promote their site? ( i am not sure how the profile thing works here so keep my comment at that:P )

But I can say one things its damn fast and keeps spam at bay! but hmm i wouldnt want a junk list of profiles or users adding up either..

jus my 2 cents..

[Trent Adams]

One more thing….where exactly (when integrated with wordpress) does it store the ‘bozo’ information on a user? I have went through all the tables in bbPress and WordPress and I can’t seem to find it. I thought maybe adding a filter in the plugin might work, but I don’t know how to call it since it isn’t a database call.

Created a theme for my bbpress forum.. its a complementary to my wordpress theme.. am looking into using same files for the theme like the header footer and function file..

[yottabite]

Is there anyway to post via a URL?

I.e.; http://forum.blandname.com/?new=1&topic=1&subject=test&post=”this is a test”

If this is not possible, is there a way to port the WordPress bookmarklet to bbPress?
