    What would you like me to say?

    You haven’t told me what’s you’re expecting teh code to do, and what it does wrong instead?

    Please, I want to help, but “it takes me to localhost” gives me nothing to work with :(

    Agreed. Thats why I said “Yeah, just copy them from the WP-config file.”.

    There have been 4 versions of WordPress since the last version of bbPress Installer was written. Thigns change. Just copy them from the WP-config file.

    Also, so you know, bbPress isn’t beilliantly compatible with WPMU. thats why the BuddyPress version of bbPress was/is for. I have no idea how this changes for WP3.0

    There isn’t even labels or text boxes for auth_salt, secure_auth, and logged_in_salt in the actual wp-admin/options.php page when you view it from the admin area. There’s a bunch of other options but I’ve looked through them and used Find, but I don’t see them :(

    WordPress Integration Settings for bbPress admin even gives me a direct link to the options page that it says those settings are, but they aren’t there. Here’s what it says for each of the 3 required salts:

    “This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “auth_salt”.”

    “This must match the value of the WordPress setting named “secure_auth_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “secure_auth_salt”.”

    “his must match the value of the WordPress setting named “logged_in_salt” in your WordPress site. Look for the option labeled “logged_in_salt”.”

    How would I set a meta_key/meta_value pair? Is there an API for it or do I have to run a direct SQL query? A meta_key/meta_value pair is per user, right? Sorry for all the dumb questions, I’ve never programmed a bbPress or WordPress plugin.

    If I wanted to make it so people had to register and login through the blog, I would just replace all the login stuff on the forums with a link that takes you to the blog?

    No, you could just point the action part of your login/registration form to the WordPress one. That way people could login/register from wherever they want, but your WordPress install does all of the difficult work behind the scenes.

    The salts are all in the wp-config file on my blog, but they aren’t showing up in the options.php page in the blog admin

    Yeah, just copy them from the WP-config file.

    Also, my blog and forums both have different $table_prefixs. Should they both have the same

    Nah, thts fine as long as you have changed the bb-config to let it know what the WP user table is called.

    Also, WP3.0MU is totally new to us (it’s been out less than 48 hours), so if there are any additional issues you might be the first to find them.

    Hmm… I just deleted the forums folder from my hosting site and my local machine, re-unzipped bbPress, renamed it to folder, and uploaded it. Then I got to the install screen and it said there was no bb-config.php, which is correct because I just deleted the whole folder. So I put my database, name, etc in and pressed submit or whatever. It said my information had been saved to bb-config.php successfully. It actually made the bb-config.php file this time. When I clicked the go to step 2 button it said I already have a bbPress installation, so I just tried logging in and stuff and now it works.

    I looked in bb-config.php and it didn’t have all the auth stuff filled in, but it still works. I then manually put the auth stuff into bb-config.php, got the plugin for the blog and entered the information in the bbPress admin area but it’s still doing the same thing. If someone logs in from the forums, they aren’t logged in at the site. I’m pretty sure when bb-config.php didn’t have any auth information I was able to log in from the forums and then go to the blog admin area without having to log in (I was originally logged out).

    If I wanted to make it so people had to register and login through the blog, I would just replace all the login stuff on the forums with a link that takes you to the blog?

    EDIT: Also, in the WordPress Integration Settings in bbPress admin, I have to make the salts match the ones in options.php, but when I go there, I don’t see the salts. The only salt I see is nonce, which isn’t one of the ones that need to match (auth, secure auth, logged in). Maybe that could be the problem? The salts are all in the wp-config file on my blog, but they aren’t showing up in the options.php page in the blog admin.

    EDIT 2: Also, my blog and forums both have different $table_prefixs. Should they both have the same?

    I guess I wasn’t involved with the community long enough to feel the burn from the back and forth decisions you mentioned. That does sound pretty shitty!

    This is just pure speculation here but maybe the information from Automattic was so inconsistent because they weren’t sure what direction they were going themselves. I don’t know the whole history of BackPress but it sounds like it was a pretty big undertaking that would have had implications for WordPress as well. Going off my knowledge and what Matt said in the keynote it sounds like the BackPress project just didn’t work out in the long run but it was too late to take it back from bbPress.

    Again, thats pure speculation so treat it with a grain of salt :-P

    BTW Taeo, I miss not being able to recommed your UI ;-)

    Heh sorry about that. It was too much work to maintain between patches :-( I’ve posted some new stuff on my new website ( http://www.wowuigallery.com/topic/taeo-333-ui ) but it doesn’t have all the auto-config bells and whistles of the original.

    For an good looking, easy to setup UI I usually recommend TukUI to people. I helped him build his site (WordPress and bbPress of course).

    Hi Taeo,

    You’re absolutely right.

    I doubt anyone here has a problem with Automattic making the best choice for them in the long run. Even if it’s not ideal for everyone; if the good outweighs the bad for a large percentage of people and it gives Automattic another feature to give their users then I can totally see why they’ve come to this decision.

    The issue I have personally, isn’t with the decision (or indeed any decision that Automattic have made), but rather the way that information is passed along (or, ususally, not passed along).

    To delete the bbpress0.9 milestone and decide to go back on your word to support it for 2010 without telling anyone – even weeks after you deleted it, is symptomatic of how Automattic treat the people involved with this project.

    Matt’s word carries alot of weight, especially with WordPress users, so to make dispariging / negative / insulting comments about us in his KeyNote speech is poor. I realise that he was answering a question, and not a prepared statement; and we’ve all answered questions badly before, but it was a slap in the face to those of us who’ve given up our time.

    Given that the 1.0.3 milestone has a year’s worth of bug fixes, and NOW isn’t going to be released until all the 1.1 bugs are finished AND a new backPress is released – though thats not been communicated to anyone yet; it makes it hard for those of us who have gotten behind bbPress to draw a line under it.

    It’s also why this talk of a Fork is premature. Because when 1.1 gets released, there will be a swell of “bbpress is not dead” euphoria – much in the same way there was when Matt came back in December and when the new theme got uploaded. For me, I just want to get my current forums patched up to work the way bbPress1.0 was meant to and be treated like an adult until that happens.

    BTW Taeo, I miss not being able to recommed your UI ;-)

    He even admitted that right now, it would be better off to use another plugin rather than bbPress.

    I agree that this seems very insulting but you have to keep in mind Matt’s target audience. Matt and Automattic are concerned first and foremost with WordPress. And the vast majority of WordPress users are not the people involved in this thread – they are bloggers and publishers with very little knowledge of code. For them, the easiest forum solution is a WordPress plugin. We know better here at bbPress.org but we make up a very small (albeit vocal) minority.

    Knowing this, it is difficult to imagine the future of bbPress (under Automattic) as anything other than a “core” WordPress plugin. I think your concerns with this, Zaerl, and Kevin, are completely reasonable. It will absolutely be less lightweight than bbPress is now. I have no doubts of that although I am confident the WordPress team will minimize the hit in every way possible.

    However, for me personally, the good outweighs the bad. I basically make a living off of customizing WordPress templates for people and I will be very happy to have an easily implemented and officially supported forum solution to offer my clients. I am almost sure this is how the majority of WordPress users also feel.

    Unfortunately for those of you who want bbPress to remain a standalone solution I think your time is limited. Even if Automattic wanted to keep bbPress as a standalone solution I don’t think they have the developers to do it. If this is what you really want I think the only choice is to do it yourselves. Whether that means forking or taking some of the core and rebuilding completely – one of you will simply have to take charge on your own and forget Automattic.

    I know that sounds harsh – I’m not trying to mean – I totally understand where you guys are coming from. I just think this is the unfortunate state you are in.

    Rootside ::

    Has anyone considered the possiblity that Matt is keeping his eyes peeled on the current efforts of some people trying to use nothing but WordPress’ core functions to build a simple forum?

    He might be mate, but probably not, as doing so isn’t that difficult at all. I creted a “theme” for WordPress that made it look/work like a forum in essence back in 2008. The same time I made and released the phpBB theme for bbPress. Both were availible on the bbProgress website (which closed last year but there should still be some links on t’internet).

    And Justin’s coding one based on the new Custom Post features, which will work alot better than mine did (he actually build one last year too, but had a hard drive crash and lost it).

    Basically though, a blog and a forum are different in their “n to n” nature. WordPress relies on a huge amount of caching to try and keep it’s memory intake down, and a customised caching mechanism is essential once you hit any form of modernday traffic. That sort of feature works well on “1 to many” software, but a forum is different. It has to call data differently, and handle multiple parent/child relationships.

    Rootside ::

    I’m guessing that any WP plugin which makes that kind of thing easy to set up and enhances its functionality would be really lightweight.

    No, no way mate :( The opposite.

    I understand the desire to make a WP plugin that is a forum, I can see Matt’s viewpoint on that, but in comparison to bbPress as it stands, it’ll be far from lightweight.

    Not only will it struggle with the caching that WP relies on, but you’ll have all the overhead of loading everything in WordPress before hitting any actual forum content (including the WordPress admin sections and plugins).

    It’s basically going to be very similar to the BuddyPress “bbPress” plugin, as thats a hacked/stripped version of bbpress1.0 (in general terms it removed BackPress and rewrote the function calls to call WP/buddyPress functions directly). But in order to get it to work, every page has to load WordPress then BuddyPress then bbPress forum module.

    Lightweight it ain’t!

    Even if the very clever people that work at Automattic and contribute to the community manage to pull a great number of rabits out of hats, there is no way that it will be anything but bloated.

    But you know, 90% of folks won’t care. Take Marius (poster above me), he runs a forum about Michael Jackson with aboot 100+ users and maybe 50 topics started a week. He’s not that uncommon to alot of the folks that pass through here (other than that he is allergic to manners). They won’t care in the slightest about the small hit as the chances of them noticing it are going to be slim, and they get access to all the good stuff that comes with WordPress, heck for the most part they’ll get the stuff they think they should from bbPress/Wordpress integration now. For a percentage of people, there will be no downside, even if it’s far from lightweight.

    I realise that software moves on, and I realise that as it grows there will be some bloat. Thats the reality of where we are, and WordPress does a really great job of being quick despire it’s bloat. But the sheer difference between a bbP0.9/WP2.5 deeply integrated forum (which has MORE features than we have now) and a bbP1/WP3 deeply integrated forum is unbelievable. Bloated, slower, more prone to errors and less features.

    I see why Matt thinks things have to change, i don’t agree with the direction and thats cool, i don’t have to agree, nor does anyone :)

    But really the history of this project has taught us one thing repeatedly: Heading in a direction without planning or a roadmap will definately lead us somewhere else, but we’ll be just as lost. Who knows though, 40 years later he may just lead us out of the desert ;-)

    Hopefully on Matt’s way up to Montreal he’ll see a burning bush ;-)

    There have been a huge increase in the number of reported WSoD reports with WP3.0, and thankfully the WP team are taking notice.

    These plugins ( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/411649 ) are definately causing issues. HeadSpace2 is the biggie there as it’s a very popular plugin. I’m quietly confident that it’ll hit alot of people

    WPtaven has an article on it, though right now there’s alot of people saying how it was flawless for them (how that helps those who it wasn’t flawless for i’ll never know). You can find that here:

    WordPress 3.0 Upgrade Woes Starting To Come In

    Zaerl has written a plugin found here ( http://pastebin.com/JhJzLjvQ ) that solves one of the problems with WP3/bbP tha was brought up in this thread ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-30-beta-2-integrated-user-registration ).

    Having seen the hit my servers are taking from WP2.9.2 -> WP3.0RC3 my first guess would be memory. Deep integration of WP3 and bbP1 appears to be a nightmare, especially when I look at my one site thats still running bbP0.9&WP2.5.

    Furthermore, I do believe we should start a “WordPress3.0 FAQ thread” that compiles what we know in the first post as a sticky. We’re going to face alot of questions in the next week or so, and maybe we could learn from some past mistakes :)

    I think Matt sounded very smart. Like a young Steve Jobs.

    If what he say is true about BBpress just copying a bunch of wordpress code, making it hard to update, I think a plugin sounds greater.

    I dont see why this future plugins should be incompitable with my current installation though.

    As a user, I expect a future edition to carry on what I have now built.

    Themes is okay to renew, but my forum posts and users, I would very much like to keep.

    #90013

    Woah! That would be a lot of work.

    I tried this on my host and it seems that the problem is to do with WordPress 3.0 only cuz if I tell it to load wp-load.php from a 2.9.2 install, it works fine.

    But I have seen someone in some other topic running a deep integration with WP 3.0 :/

    @zaerl

    117.196.240.192 - - [19/Jun/2010:02:53:39 -0700] "GET /forum/ HTTP/1.1" 500 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3"

    #90010

    @Gautam

    Those headers were in place so that WordPress couldn’t send 404 HTTP errors. wp-load.php file is there. I loaded into another php file and it worked fine.

    I have removed those headers call and now I can see a 500 error.

    @_ck_

    I myself stay away from deep integration cuz of the performance penalty but some people fall in buying iBlogPro themes (premium and still require deep integration to work) and then they hire someone to get it fixed.

    Source is blank too and no gain in elevating memory limits.

    Error reporting didn’t show anything too.

    How do I find out whats causing the 500 error now?

    #34527

    I am deep integrating bbPress with WordPress 3.0 and I am encountering this white screen of death. I have done several integrations this way and never got stuck.

    I use this code above database constants in bb-config.php

    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
    include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-load.php' );
    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
    header("Status: 200 All rosy");
    }

    I checked the logs and there are no 500 errors, all are 200.

    I loaded the WordPress in a separate php file which works fine, so I guess something is conflicting in between WordPress and bbPress.

    bbPress has no plugins installed but WordPress does have some and its a live site.

    I am going to check for any conflicting plugins.

    Any pointers?

    Blaming matt/automattic or blaming eachother isn’t going to take us and this project anywhere, people!

    Let’s stop bitching at eachother and get this thing moving.

    To summarize :

    -Matt will be making bbpress into a wordpress plugin, afaics in this quarter, as WordPress skipps a release cycle to focus on the website and other projects

    -People are talking about forking bbpress 0.9 as an independant lightweight forum. Is this going to happen and who is going to do this.

    -I’ll start a wordpress/backpress/bbpress fork probably at the end of next week, searching for extra devpower.

    That’s the situation how it is, and there is little chance that it is going to change. Time to stop looking at the past and to start looking at the future.

    However, the fork in the topic on wptavern was a fork as just a wordpress plugin. My intend is to fork both WordPress and bbpress and rewrite them to get something like this structure (although with different names) :

    -Backpress a-like thing, which is basicly a “core” thing with support for custom post types and such and with NO own post types

    -Wordpress a-like thing, which would be an official/canonical/core blog Backpress plugin

    -BBPress a-like thing, which would be an official/canonical/core forum Backpress plugin.

    I also want to take the chance to raise the spec to php 5 and handle things more object-oriented.

    I will start on this project probably at the end of next week, if you’d like to participate, develop, help of any other sort you can mail me at info at wimtibackx dot be . I’ll take the following days to work out a roadmap and such.

    Any help or feedback is appreciated!

    I think that with the new 3.0 Custom Post Type functionality, a lot could be done to simplify the current WordPress as blog vs. WordPress as CMS vs. Buddypress vs. bbPress clutter. It seems to me that there is no good way of combining them all at this very moment. In wordpress you can’t change nor delete the default post types. If you want bbPress you need to link it up and such. I think it would be better if the current project group evolved into (but who am I in the community ^^):

    *BackPress, which contains the whole base (a lot of things it doesn’t contain atm from WordPress)

    *Wordpress, which could just be no more then a plugin to BackPress (on the download page you should have the option to either download the plugin or backpress+plugin)

    *bbPress, (see wordpress)

    *BuddyPress, (see wordpress)

    This way, wordpress can evolve in a stable, clear and usefull cms. This way, development teams could be handled much more flexible (a team for backpress, and teams for the other projects only having to worry about the plugin).

    This would make it more clear for users and certain wanted features could be implemented much quicker. There should be, however, the functionality of having “plugins on plugins”, thus, plugins on wordpress, …

    Also, this way of working would permit developers to use the backpress/wordpress codebase without having the mess of the current post types. It would also ease combining these projects a lot.

    Last but not least, it would give the teams the oppertunity to clean up codebases (raise spec to php 5, more object oriented way of handling things, …)

    What do you guys think about it?

    As a final note, I’d like to say the following to the developing teams : work with the community, not against.

    Edit : And if there would be interested in starting such an initiative from the community, as automattic isn’t likely to do this, I’d be willing to help developing. If I’d had more time, I’d probably already started something like this, but I haven’t got the time to lead such a big thing.

    Throw the “folder” below WordPress.

    You should put it inside a FOLDER in the root of your WordPress site. The name of that folder determines the URL where the forum will be accessible on the Internet.

    So, if your WordPress site is at http://www.example.com/ , and you create a folder called bbpress in your WordPress root (and put all the bbPress files in there) then your bbPress forum will be accessible at http://www.example.com/bbpress/

    If you don’t want bbpress in your url, call the folder where you put the files something else. For example, here it’s called “forums”. You can use forum, discussion, community, etc. That will be part of the URL where you access the forum.

    /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/
    /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-admin/
    /var/www/html/wordpress/bbpress/

    That is where the folder will go; on the same level with wp-content and wp-admin. It is at the same level.

    #89678

    Thanks much Kev for helping me get started!

    Quick ? : when you say, upload bbPress into it’s own folder below wordpress, is there a specific loc? I.e., should I throw this in wp-content, wp-admin, or just at the root level?

    I think the docs say throw it on the root level, but I’m not sure that’s right.

    He even admitted that right now, it would be better off to use another plugin rather than bbPress.

    Nevermind if it’s insulting, it’s just wrong. I’ve looked closely at a few WP forum plugins, and they’re all spectacularly ugly, near-impossible to customise, or criminally bloated. Or all of these things.

    That said, he does have a point when it comes to installation. I’ll happily jump through a few hoops to get something working, but I’m not sure I’d recommend bbPress unless I was sure the person knows what they’re doing.

    All in all though, I went for bbPress precisely because it’s still better than all the other solutions. I realise I’m only speaking for myself and other people might miss functions they consider to be essential; and I wish them good luck trying to tame Simple:Press or wrestle phpBB into their site, but I consider bbPress to be a niche product because it provides a simple, basic, themable forum, and I just assume that that’s what people who use it were looking for.

    I’m further assuming that the majority use bbPress in conjunction with a WordPress site, and in that context, I don’t understand why it shouldn’t be a plugin. I personally can’t wait for that to happen, because as bloated as WordPress might be, most people are using it anyway, so the question whether it’s good or bad to load WordPress in order to use bbPress doesn’t even arise for most people.

    (edit) If we’re talking loading WP core stuff on every forum page, fine, I get that argument, but again, I doubt that bbPress is the right solution for a big, high traffic forum anyway.(/edit)

    And the way I understand it, if someone wants to run just a forum, wouldn’t they probably be looking for something more powerful and feature-rich than bbPress in the first place?

    A bbPress plugin would surely be a lot lighter than the current bbPress, no? How is that not a good thing? Am I totally off with my guess that most bbPress users are also running WordPress anyway?

    Maybe it can go different ways indeed (renaming it would be a good idea in that case, obviously). That would preserve all the good work that has gone and is going into bbPress.

    By the way:

    Has anyone considered the possiblity that Matt is keeping his eyes peeled on the current efforts of some people trying to use nothing but WordPress’ core functions to build a simple forum? I’m guessing that any WP plugin which makes that kind of thing easy to set up and enhances its functionality would be really lightweight.

    On a different note, I also don’t get how anyone could read a flame war into any of the discussions here. At all.

    #89677

    No apologies needed for being new mate, we all were once.

    bbPress is a standalone piece of software and not a WordPress plugin.

    Ideally at some stage in the last 3 years someone would have put theat sentance somewhere obvious on this website, or in the readme or something because you’re not the first to make this mistake, and you won’t be the last.

    You basically want to upload bbPress into it’s own folder below wordpress. You can call this anything you want (forums, support, bbpress, chat etc).

    Edit your config file in that folder, and load that folder in a browser (same way you install wordpress basically) and an installer appears.

    Now, there is a guide on this website found here: https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

    Personally, i think it’s a clear and detailed as mud so I strongly recommend the following guide:

    http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/

    It’s very procedural, but given that it takes 19 steps to explain to you what the official documentation explains in 1 step (“6.Follow the instructions in the installer”), i think thats a really good thing.

    Any questions, come back and drop us a line.

    The WordCamp minute about bbPress is old news. I preserved it here so you don’t have to wade through the rest of the WP 3.0 stuff:

    http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/matt-on-bbpress-wordcamp-san-francisco-may-1st-2010

    Please note the plugin version of bbPress for WordPress will almost certainly be completely incompatible with all existing bbPress themes and plugins and all advice/knowledge to date will become useless.

    It will be essentially an entirely different program just using the same name and I hope Matt just renames it to something else to prevent massive confusion.

    More than one hour of Matt is too much for me and it seems that “videopress” doesn’t let me skip the video.

    The day bbPress will become a WordPress plugin, ehm, a core plugin I will run away fast. I began using bbPress cause it’s light software in a world of bloatware. If I need to load all WordPress 3 AND then all bbPress the “light” adjective will not be more valid.
