Hi, I just updated to v. 1.02 and the admin screen still looks like the old version (green text on white background). When I installed v 1.02 locally on my computer, the admin screen looked like the WordPress admin interface. I updated my database. Everything else is working fine. How can I change/fix the admin screen to look like the WordPress interface (the way it is intended to be).

Thanks!

felabria, keep in mind that at WordPress.org, they do not have cookie sharing setup; so logging into the forums does not mean you’re logged into the codex, etc…

[chrishajer]

You will need to create a bbPress theme that looks like your WordPress theme. If you’re not comfortable creating a theme, you will need to find someone to do that for you.

[felabria]

Can somebody help me with that? I want something like WordPress.org/support has. That it would have the same theme. I use Mystique wordpress theme.

[chrishajer]

I think it took a while for WordPress to get where it is today, including video tutorials at wordpress.tv – bbPress is not there yet. WordPress 1.0 was January 2004, and the first video tutorial on wordpress.tv was posted January 2009. bbPress 1.0 was released June 2009. I think there is a lot more development to be done with bbPress before resources would ever be devoted to anything like bbpress.tv (which is not registered ATM.)

[bblover]

Dear Admin,

We all really need video tutorials regarding bbpress plugins, integration, themes, and all it’s stuff. you know virtual lesions help are better then written posts. so why you people are so late to to launch bbpress.tv or video tutorials guides like wordpress.tv

moderators are also welcome to answers!!

That site is _ck_’s developer showcase… I believe she did those flags with mini-track:

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

She no longer officially supports that plugin though – much of the functionality has been moved into the excellent mini-stats:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-track/page/3/#post-2436

But the flag functionality isn’t part of mini-stats, alas.

If you know how to edit or develop WordPress plugins, you shouldn’t have a problem working with bbPress plugins! If not, then maybe you could hire a developer to help with the port…

[jimgozieo]

Yes, I noticed the flags at http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ but they only appear on the front page of the forum – I want mine to appear underneath the poster’s avatar everytime he/she posts something.

It defeinitely exists on wordpress because I use it on my wordpress site. It is called the Comment Info Detector plugin by someone called Hieudt. I don’t know how to port plugins from wordpress to bbPress – is that something very difficult or very easy to do?

[johnhiler]

Ah… so like an IP detection plugin which displays the country automatically!

I haven’t seen that on bbPress. Does it exist on WordPress? If so, it can probably be ported!

@chrishajer & circuit

Thanks for your replies,

I did try logging out and back in (in bbpress) and the admin functions seemed to work again. Which is strange, since logging in on the wordpress side, im pushing users the the bbpress login.php form.

The only ans single database solutions you might consider at this moment (except MySQL which is already supported) is PostgreSQL ans SQLite.

I would switch my WordPress to SQLite. Thought SQLite has no full support for alter…

[circuit]

aha, fixed by logging out and back in via bbpress login form (NOT wordpress..)

[bbhack]

I’ll echo some of the other comments and say that having a Codex for bbPress is key to it’s future. Shouldn’t this be something that is very easy for someone at Automattic to setup?

The other thing is better, easier integration with existing user database tables and site features for sign-in/out, registration, change password, etc. Most everyone using bbPress probably already has the rest of their site already setup.

You don’t users to have to have two logins, two registrations, two login pages, and two registration pages ,and two records in the database with the same info. This type of integration needs to be dead simple and straightforward in bbPress but it is not. If this was done properly, the most common site integration (bbPress with a WordPress blog) wouldn’t be the mess it is today.

Also, support for Oracle databases would go a long way to helping adoption.

dear sir,

I really like the zenko wordpress theme. which you can watch here: http://www.wpzoom.com/themes/zenko/&#8230; so i really need same bbpress theme. can you do it for me. I’m waiting for positive reply. thanks in advance

[chrishajer]

They don’t look any different than a WordPress installation, and then a bbPress forum at a different URL. Here’s what it looks like if you don’t do any sort of integration:

bbPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/

WordPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/

WordPress is in the html root, and then in that folder is a forum folder, which is why bbPress is accessible at http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/

I remember some years ago (probably I was one of the first who tried to integrate bbPress with WordPress in a different language, fully localized integration [1]), and it was a pain. Now, years passed, I can see bbPress and WordPress rising and shining, but I wouldn’t pay anymore so much attention into their integration.

The main problem I/folks met when choosing between BB software and taking bbPress as a possible solution, is it’s lack of real BB features, like already mentioned quoting, nice fluid design themes… classic stuff which makes a forum software look accordingly.

I do respect the WordPress choices when it comes to design (including software designs and tehnologies), but if you want bbPress get over FluxBB (ex PunBB, which was sold and it is it’s main competitor), forget about Joel Spolsky’s thoughts, people are looking for something they got used to already. Bring options to core and hide them under checkboxes, but don’t apart them in plugins (at least until bbPress has no such plugin installer like WordPress has).

Dunno why, but bbPress still looks much like it was first time released by Matt after a weekend of smart coding. Time to grow up a bit.

Just my 2 cents…

Hi Matt,

“how to integrate bbPress better with WP, … as to where bbPress goes in the future, I’d be curious to hear who wants to help with that. “

Answering to that question with some questions can be helpfull :

* bbPress today ? (point A)

* WordPress today ? (point A’)

* Can they meet at some point ? (point

* What is the code in common between WP(µ), bbPress ( and BuddyPress) ?

* Is there somewhere an underlying FrameWork with some engines inside (blog(s), forum (social networking) engines) ?

* Could we imagine in a future to come to install a Framework and plug into it a blog(s) engine, a forum engine, (a social networking engine, ) all of them at the same time ?

ready to help

Glad to help!

And for the record, I think the spam moderation UI is an opportunity for serious improvement. Access to spam moderation should be much more straight-forward (a la WordPress’ handling of comment moderation).

I just realized that i miss a “quote” button in bbPress

There’s <blockquote> actually bbPress uses regular HTML syntax, not bbCode.

The future? Optional integration, but DEEP integration. If I didn’t have to re-theme my forums every time I make a change to my blog, I’d be happy. Honestly, it works as much as I need it to right now, but the reason I picked bbPress has jack to do with integration and all to do with simplicity.

I came from the Invision/phpBB/SMF world and I was always turning off options I didn’t use or want. Much like WordPress, the best thing about bbPress is that it’s little and you can add on if you want.

That said, much like how people can (and do) port Akismet to other platforms, bbPress has to decide if that’s it’s future too. To whit:

Is bbPress going to be a sibling to WordPress (intended to be used with it, but available as stand alone) or a cousin (available to be used with or without WordPress)?

Right now it’s a kissing cousin (legal only in the backwoods), trying to be both. If we keep along the currently available integration path, it will become the cousin. That said, if it moves on to the sibling, being tied in like … Akismet (available from the get-go, but optional), then you’d probably get a lot more pick up from WordPress users.

Integration with WordPress, knowing that WP and WPMU are in route to becoming the same thing (unless the rumors are a lie, it’s just what I heard), would really make things like BuddyPress be a home run.

Of course, if we get better integration, we need better user management. A way to flag users as bozo is nice, but banning people would be even better.

I’m going to get more coffee and think more about this. Mostly, I’m happy we’re not forgotten.

[CyrixInstead]

I’m having the same problem as Croyd, plus as CitizenKeith says, there is no longer a specific ‘WordPress Integration’ plugin with the latest version of bbPress.

Any ideas anyone?

~Cyrix

\Edit – I came across a fix that works for me (http://bestservedcold.com/news/bbpress-and-wordpress-magic-quotes/comment-page-1). I also have both WP & bbPress integrated, and I commented out the line $_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST); in wp-settings.php in my WordPress installation. I tried a test post in the forum and one on the blog and they both worked fine.

Hi All

I have a bbpress install that is deep integrated with a wordpress MU 2.8.4. Everything is working perfectly, except that when i try to change the default language. When i remove the deep interagtion hook and use the default theme it works.

I can see in trac (ticket/1096)that this is supposed fixed (maybe) but could it be because i’m using wordpress mu instead of the regular ? … any ideas/workarounds ?

Thank you very much for your support…I got some help from my hosting site to create a database like the installer requested…but the one he created is not directly in my wordpress file…can you show me an example of what a WP site with the forum install looks like so I can see what I am working towards…Give me a URL if you don’t mind…Thank you again…Kenney

[chrishajer]

Inside the folder that as WordPress, put a folder with all the bbPress files in it. So maybe you have this:

/public/html/wordpress/

add a new folder:

/public/html/wordpress/forum/ (or forums or discussion or bbpress)

then access your new installation at http://www.example.com/forum (or whatever you selected) assuming WordPress is accessible at http://www.example.com/
