OK, switching back to the default theme allows me to change user roles. If I then switch back to my current theme a user who I’ve changed to a moderator can still moderate posts.

So I guess we’ve identified a couple of things:

1. My custom theme is broken at the point where user profiles are being edited

2. It also seems the WordPress integration is broken

Any further pointers you can give me on how to correct these would be great, thanks for all your help so far.

User with role in bbPress and without role in WordPress log in to WordPress and WordPress change role none to your WordPress default role.

Using WP 2.8.6 and BBP 1.0!

[alpacino85]

Hello,

I integrated wordpress Version 2.8.6 with bbpress Version 1.0.2

My user table is correctly shared, couse i can login on both.

When I switch from wordpress to bbpress, I am nog logged in, if i log in on bbpress i get logged out on wordpress.

Does any one know what i did wrong ?

2. Does this problem occur when you use a stock theme like Kakumei?

And your integration is not correct if when you log in to WordPress you get logged out of bbPress.

@chrishajer : It’s not a hosting provider like the rest ! It’s like the WordPress.com service, it just gives free PhpBB2 hosting, but no FTP or SQL access, and their support refuses to give the SQL files .

That’s awesome! I have just commented on the beta. Thank you!

And thanks for the tips – they sound very logical, and pretty much confirm what I kept asking myself.

I really appreciate all your help.

Just released bbCumulus beta – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-cumulus/

[f1f]

1. 1.0.2

2. Yes

3. Akismet, Allow Images, bbPress polls and Comment Quicktags for bbPress; disabling them does not fix the problem.

4. Yes, version 2.8.6. However I’ve also noticed that when I log into the blog it logs me out of WordPress, so perhaps the integration is also faulty?

[Gautam]

Here are some steps when converting WP plugins into BB:

1. Change everything from WP to bb (except some functions like wp_enqueue_scripts, etc – they are borrowed as it is from WP, actually they are in BackPress)
2. Activation & Deactivation are hooks, not functions
3. There are some different functions like bb_title();, bb_option('description');, bb_option(’uri’);
4. If a function name doesnt start with wp_, then most of the times bb_ is added to avoid conflicts when WP functions are loaded into bbPress (integrated)
5. There are also functions like bb_is_topic() etc like is_single() in WP
6. etc….

BTW, nice theme of your forums…

[Gautam]

Michael, I am already working on bb Cumulus, and it is almost completed.

You can see it active on my test site – http://forum.gaut.am/

[Michael]

No-body has developed that yet. It may happen in the future – though I think it would be done through a WordPress integration.

[Michael]

Greetings all (I have removed the 888 from my user-name – I just couldn’t stand it anymore)

I hope someone can guide me or point me in the right direction here. In various attempts to understand how the bbPress plugin system works, I am trying to convert a few WordPress plugins into bbPress ones.

I’m starting off with “WP-Cumulus” as well as “Let It Snow”. I’m not sure, however, what to look out for. For example, what are the differences between WP and bbPress when it comes to adding extra admin and profile info.

What things should I look for while I go about doing this?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

1. What version of bbPress are you using?

2. Are you using a custom theme?

3. What plugins are you using and does disabling them allow this to work again?

4. Are you integrated with WordPress and if so what version?

[chrishajer]

It’s probably not the CSS, but my guess is it’s something related to this specific setup. Maybe the language in use or the RTL CSS or integration with WordPress. bbPress does this by default when you type something that looks like a URL. Here I will just type something and bbPress will just linkify it: http://www.google.com (I typed www google com but with the periods in it)

[wiseacre]

bbpress as wordpress plugin?

I see … Probably BuddyPress is more important project … ?

[fundomaat]

Hey all,

How do you port a wordpress theme to a bbpress theme? ( Not the usuall header and footer replacement. But with the use of the bbpress header and footer. )

Thanks for your help,

Fundomaat

[hatter]

I would double check here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101 to make sure you have all the correct settings.

[Erhnam]

This is mine: http://forum.xbmcfreak.nl/

I changed a couple of things to integrate it more and more with my wordpress theme and site: http://www.xbmcfreak.nl/

[kriskl]

Great! Looking forward to that!

whatever you do with bbPress, please make sure to keep it SIMPLE to be used by “average internet users” and “newbies”.

Only “simple to use” applications enjoy huge success. Look at Craigslist, Facebook, etc.

Features need to add value for the user and provide easy to use interface.

For example looking at the WordPress-Dashboard “Admin-interface”, I still believe this interface is way too complicated to use and not really self-explanatory. A newby will be confused and just click away from it.

Start thinking out of the box

Thanks !

[chrishajer]

bbPress normally does. Looks to be not working in your installation for some reason. Can you try the standard style.css instead of the RTL css and see if the links become clickable?

Also, what plugins are you running? And are you integrated with WordPress?

[Carlos Santa Cruz]

I like to see some activity on this project, read the IRC chat, here my $0.02:

1. I like the idea of better integration with WP I’m actually looking for a solution with wordpress + bbpress, I don’t mind if it’s a plugin for WP or a standalone, thinks I would like to improve are: users (single profile page, authentication -openid) and themes.

2. I like the widgets idea for bbpress.

3. I think TinyMCE should be optional.

Looking forward to get involved in this new wave of bbPress.

[Nuul]

If bbPress stops being a stand alone program, I’ll leave it. People seem to forget it’s a forum and not WP++.

Optional TinyMCE addition…… please NO! TinyMCE is crap! When I read this all, bbPress is going to look like/ act as WordPress too much , it wont stay as clean as it is now.

Please keep it stand alone, don’t copy everything from wordpress (like TineMCE, where a plugin can be made for). If people want all these options, then they have installed the wrong software and should install WP, where bbPress can act as a plugin.

Don’t turn it the other way around!!
