If you’re serious about keeping bbPress as standalone software, you’re in luck: that’s exactly what bbPress is doing for the next version or two. No need to fork just yet: just get more involved with bbPress.

bbPress will probably start to begin the slow process of becoming a WordPress plugin later this year or maybe next year… at which point, you’ll be better acquainted with the software and in a better position to consider a fork!

Already tried that tut, but trying it again isn’t getting me anywhere either—I’m getting stuck at “Step 2 check the boxes Add integration settings, Add cookie integration settings, and User integration database settings.”

I do this, follow the next steps, and it ends up telling me: http://cl.ly/Hm1

The only user db settings I’ve touched: http://cl.ly/GLo because my WordPress user table doesn’t have a prefix.

[robalan]

I can’t get this to work AT ALL. I’ve gone through every forum post I could find, changed every setting back and forth, re-installed twice, still I don’t see any of my WordPress users in bbPress, and as for the cookies issue, I’m about to bash my head in.

WordPress Version 2.9.2

bbPress Version 1.0.2

Someone please help—let me know what other information would make it easy for you. Thanks.

I thought the plugin version was already underway, hence https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

I will keep bbPress alive as standalone version. I have taken this task as a major project of my Bachelors degree.

@Gautam

Its better to have a standalone version for those who just needs to run a forum.

Those who want a better integration with WordPress, can go for the plugin version but I will myself prefer to use the standalone version at times.

[gerikg]

Thanks, they won’t allow me to post their site. I always thought it was the bbpress plugin but wordpress too I didn’t think of.

[psycheangels]

i agree with jurasiks, bbpress should not be a wordpress plugin.

im thinking that future bbpress can be a new style of forum engine

in my head now i am think about “micro forum”

[jurasiks]

bbPress inside WordPress will be slow and heavy.

i liked bbPress for performance and simplicity

imho, wp goes to wrong “all-in-one-combine” future, but this is developers decision

i would like to make future with “NewEngine”

so, who wants to help – please write here

who not – please, ignore

p.s. i will leave this idea if i can install next bbPress versions without WP

p.p.s but i can’t?

[Cristian]

I am personally pretty excited about the bbPress plugin for WordPress. As someone has already mentioned there is already a number of other good standalone forum software out there that you could use and there is no reason that bbPress could carry on as a standalone forum as well as being a WordPress canonical plugin.

I have four sites built with WordPress and I have been wanting to add bbPress to each site for some time but the integration between the two has always put me off.

Anyone got any idea when the first version of the bbPress plugin will be out?

Hi gerikg,

can you post a link to your forum? Evtl. we can test it together.

On my forum i have at first also a blank page – there it was a problem with two plugins (one in bbPress, one in WordPress).

@psycheangels – thanks very much for the information. I eventually found my way to noease’s beautiful iNOVE WordPress theme at http://www.neoease.com/themes/ and the iNOVE look-alike BBPress template from Eric Barnes’s at http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/inove-for-bbpress/. I also found a really excellent suite of programs developed around the Carrington theme, with templates for WP, bbPress and mobile too. Really excellent all of them. But you know what, I still would prefer a plugin that allowed me to integrate and run bbPress in my own developed Thesis WP theme. That would be my choice in a perfect world.

[chrishajer]

No, that does not make it impossible. It’s completely unrelated. Start a new topic with your issue and give as much detail as possible.

[zaerl]

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin.

[oli_75]

Hello,

I just uploaded the latest version of bbpress. When I click on install I receive a message “no valid header for plugin (Das Plugin hat keinen validen Header.”).

I am running WordPress 2.9.2 installed at hosteurope.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe someone can give me an idea what’s going wrong here.

Thanks,

Oliver

[royshearer]

Does having separate WordPress and BBpress databases make calling a WP header from a BB page impossible?

[Anonymous User]

Oh … so stupid…!

in WordPress my German language file is named de_DE.mo in bbPress the language file is named de.mo. After the deep integration bbPress seems to search for a file named de_DE.mo in ‘my-languages’.

So just renaming the language files made my day

PS. hmpf…

Hi gerikg,

i saw your post about your problems with the integration of the BuddyBar in bbPress – (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-default-theme-for-bbpress). I found it after a short research in Google – because I’ve the same problems yesterday.

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'bp_core_admin_bar_css' was given in /homepages/0/00/htdocs/wpbpbbp/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid call

But … I think I have an “hack” for you – I changed a few lines of code in my installation and now it seems to work.

These was “myWay”:

1. Deep Integration between WordPress and bbPress

2. Plugins on bbPress: buddybar-in-bbpress

3. Edit bp_buddybar.php – I only comment out the following lines

/* add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js', 1); */

4. Edit bp-core-adminbar.php

Here I’ve a error code because auf “$wpdb” – so I commet out:

/* $blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $current_blog->id );*/

5. header.php in my theme

I put the Stylesheet-Link to my header.php file.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.mysteria3000.de/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

…

No the best solution – but it works for me.

Greetings

Thank you all,

Its nice to listen that lot of friends need lot of plugins. But I’ve not lot of money to develop these plugins, developers need money to work on. From my budget I’m starting to develop 5 plugins from my developers. Which I’ve decided after lot of thinking.

I need your comments…. so that should I start work on these plugins?

No. 1 :- Social Connect

With this plugin; users can register to your forums via their some social networking accounts like Facebook, OpenID, Twitter, Myspace etc. My developers says its not possible to fetch email id of a user who will register from fb or like other social networking sites, but it will be possible to show the link of a register user in his profile. where we can trace a user that from where he/she came.

No. 2 :- Better Moderation Suite ( Remake)

There are some issues with this old plugin. we will fix it soon and add more fields in it. second we will add two more section in this plugin. these are about moderators

a) simple moderator,

if anyone is running one board ( one bbpress ) then he/she can assign a user as simple moderator for his/her work.

b) Super Moderator,

if any one is running more then one bbpress installation suppose

http://www.example.com/forums-01 ( one bbpress about hockey discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-02 ( one bbpress about football discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-03 ( one bbpress about dance discussion )

http://www.example.com/forums-so-on ( one bbpress about other discussion )

then super moderator can handle these 4 fourms ( 4 integrated bbpress ) from one panel.

its means . a simple moderator can handle just http://www.example.com/forums-01 ( one bbpress about hockey discussion )

and super moderator can handle other 4 or more forums discussion.

there are more functions will be add in this plugin which i don’t want to disclose right now . Because I need your thoughts that what should add more functionality in this plugin.

No. 3 :- BBMI ( BBpress Multiple Integration)

Integration of One wordpress with multple bbpress

Read again my second plugin. Then you’ll understand the requirement of this plugin called BBMI.

Its not possible right now to create multiple forums like Worpdress MU, but if someone want more then one forums ( bbpress installation ) for more topics then its not possible to integration these multiple forums with one WordPress and each other.

Because if you’ll successful in integrate more forums ( shared user table, and user meta plus shared database… which not a big deal) then you’ll definitely fail in the integrate of cookies.

“Because now integration is possible just for one bbpress and one wordpress”

Not for multiple bbpress with one wordpress. ( Think about it, isn’t cool? )

Note: some settings and plugin will involve to run this idea. and i also need your ideas.

No. 4 :- Link Protection

About this plugins, if register user paste a link to your forums via (post or topic). Then the guest cannot view this link till after the completion of his/her registration to your forums.

No. 5 :- BBpress Statistics

If you’ll see the _ck_ plugin

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/

its all about bbpress statistics it not tells about tracking report about users online, where they came from, what keywords they use to find your website, what referral sites they use, first visit, last visit, traffic detail, monthly weekly report, duration of user’s stay on ur site blah blah blah, but my plugin will be a comprehensive plugin for your site to track traffic reports.

these are five plugins. now i’m starting work on them. All will go from my own pocket which is a really big amount, but if someone is interested to make a donation to me and wanna support me ( if he like my idea and plugins ) then I’ll post my contact detail in my next post.

After that I want to make more plugins if I’ll get your support and positive feedback.

See you again, same place, same post but soon some other time

Stay Connect………………

Regards,

bb-lover

Great Examples … I think these examples would be great in the documentation for bbPress.

@PubDirLtd

You can use this in your browser without having to download a client.

http://webchat.freenode.net/

Just join the #bbpress channel. Right now, there are no chats scheduled that I know of, but the channel is always available and there are sometimes people in there. #wordpress is much more active.

[Terence Milbourn]

@johnhiller — I just read that back in December “Matt Mullenweg dropped the bombshell yesterday in IRC: bbPress, the often forgotten forum option, could become a WordPress plugin in the near future”. I’ll have to get myself an IRC client and start participating. Any idea of timescales?

@chrishajer — I didn’t mean to come off too strong on that but on re-reading what I wrote, it does read that way. I apologize for that. And if its Matt Mullenweg that needs to have the benefit of my help and guidance I will be sure to let him have it… 8^) In the meantime, while I wait for commonsense to prevail, which I now know ‘appears’ to be happening (see comment above), I’ll content myself with creating my own template to match my current Thesis/WP theme. What joy.

[dangerbronco]

Woohoo! This plugin works! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

Anyone who is having trouble with single sign-on, deep integration and cookies w/ wp2.9 and bb1.0. Here is your answer. Make sure you configure it in the settings. Thanks for the help.

[gerikg]

Are you using bbpress 0.9?

[dangerbronco]

Also, I have tried this plugin, which, hasn’t worked for me either. I’m guessing its not compatible with 2.9. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration/

[dangerbronco]

Why not just force all registrations and log ins through the WordPress side?

Well, when I include the deep integration, If I log in through the wordpress side, I won’t have access to the bb-admin. Is there a way around this?
