Hello,

This is my 1st try to have a website and I’ve goggled a lot for the tools I may use and found that wordpress is the most highly recommended one.

Please I do need a forum to be integrated with the website and according to Google it shows that BBPress is the most recommended one to be used with WordPress.

The question now is that I can find the installation instructions for BBPress standalone but I can not find how to integrate WordPress and BBPress together at all.

So please may you help me and give me any links for such a thing as it was three hours searching in different places with no luck so far and I do fel very stupid for not catching any result yet.

I’ve just installed WordPress only without any plugins or any extra just the pure installation and default settings.

I am sorry if this is a very newbie question but I hope that some one can help.

Thanks,

Take care

I saw this feature at bp, but also on other sites, and I always loved it, as it is an easy way of finding others with the same interest.

In the profile page you have a field called Interests, now if you add there e.g. WordPress, developer, I want it to automatically link to a search result like or domain/search.php?q=developer

i’d love to have this feature as many places as possible, but if i knew how to enable this option for the Interests field, i might be able to figure it out for the rest of the website.

A working example you see here: http://buddypress.org/developers/apeatling/

Check his Interests

eclipsenow, you can email me too. I have all three working together. Right now I’m changing certain links because the profile has to all point to BuddyPress.

Glad to see what I am saying confirmed with independent realword proof.

BTW, just how big is your site that you require multiple db servers?

I don’t know of a single WordPress+bbPress install, other than Automattic’s that are using multiple db servers.

(unless of course you are running other apps that have heavy db use or maybe for backup replication)

Hi,

locate in the plugin file the function

function create_seo_meta_txt($content) {

$raw = str_replace(PHP_EOL, ' ', strip_tags($content));

$raw = str_replace('  ', ' ', $raw);

$snippet = substring_words($raw, 120, '');

return htmlentities($snippet, ENT_QUOTES);

}

and replace “htmlentities” with “wp_specialchars”.

Let me know if this works for you. This plugin is a little quick and dirty for these functions

The seo plugin for wordpress has for internationalization huge blocks of code

Hi,

I not that good at php so I was wondering if some wouldn’t mind shortening this bit of code:

<?php  echo('<img src="/forums/avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.jpg" />'); ?>

<?php  echo('<img src="/forums/avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.png" />'); ?>

<?php  echo('<img src="/forums/avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.gif" />'); ?>

<?php  echo('<img src="/forums/avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.jpeg" />'); ?>

Basically it is supposed to go through every file extension allowed by the avatar plugin and display the image with the actual extension, there can be only one.

It is used to display Avatars in WordPress by the way without loading bbPress.

Any help would be great!

[Olaf Lederer]

didn’t know that there is also a wordpress forum, is this a WP plugin?

[eclipsenow]

This *screams out* the need for an integrated portal. Automattic could really take over the field if the new WPMU had buddypress and bbpress as one-click plugin installs that <i>just worked</i>.

Email me my user name at gmail.com Send me FTP and add a login for me. I’ll take a look.

I’ve just translated bbPress 1.0.2 to Spanish_Spain (es_ES). It’s available in this direct link, where you can find (in the zip file) the .mo and the .po files.

Acabo de traducir bbPress 1.0.2 al Español de España (es_ES). Está disponible en este enlace directo, donde encontrarás (en el fichero zip) los ficheros .mo y .po.

[yangers101]

I tried that but it still does not work . I have these versions: WPMU 2.8.4a, Buddypress 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2. Any more ideas please?

[gerikg]

install that in WP and it will tell you what it is.

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate BBPress with a few WordPress installs that all share the same user table database.

All is working fine except for adding:

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in the bb-config.php file, no matter what I add here, the cookiehash is never changed using BBPress 1.0.2, is this a bug have I missed something?

[Fernando Tellado]

I’m translating and modifying the theme, you can see it in my forum: http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/

I’ve made some changes to adecuate it to bbPress 1.x (core code adaptations to new functions). I’ve changed some css too, reordered the front page, added the description to the style.css and a screenshot and a lot more. When it is finished I’ll publish it.

[jeffhiggins]

Ok thanks. I will do that. I assume that there is no way to actually allow usernames with /’s though? I’m somewhat experienced with WordPress, but I’m definitely new to bbPress.

On that note, it is very disappointing to see that so many plugins don’t work with 1.0 release. Had I known that I probably would have started with .9 release, and it seems that since you can’t downgrade, I’m pretty much stuck. On the other hand, having migrated from phpBB3, bbPress is just so much better to work with (even with its obvious shortcomings – like no automatic database backups/restore capabilities – which I think is a MUCH NEEDED feature).

[chandersbs]

Guys,

I know bp has this feature, but I really think this a really hot feature to give users the option the update their status.

It’s one of the features I really love about Facebook, and would really loved it I could implement this feature in my own bbpress forum.

I would loved it if users could update their status from the index, and if I login I can see other users their status update. And reply on it, and also leave my own status update.

Buyddypress has this feature, I looove it. I found a plugin where I think this works on WordPress.

See http://www.instinct.co.nz/wordpress-status-updates-plugin/

I’m really considering to integrate wp afterall, ‘cause most plugins are wp based.

But if anyone could program this feature to work on bbpress, I’d be very happy and probably a lot of other people too.

[batrachoid]

You don’t mention what version of WordPressMU you have; you do have that installed also, right?

Buddypress is basically just a plugin. Have you been able to install and integrate wpmu and bbpress without it?

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘kjdfkjhdsflhjnmnbvyuy65487dsfg521f’);

Hi.

I have added a bbpress to a wordpress. Everything works fine, but now I would like to change how the appearance is in the forum list on the front page. Right now I am not fully happy with that. I can see that the class is

either: <tr class=”alt”> or only <tr> which affects how each row is presented. But I can not find this in the style.css file. It drives me nuts…

Also where forums is presented I get the <bb-precedes-sibling bb-follows-sibling bb-root> and alt at the end. But where is it controlled how they look like?

Regards,

Chris

Hi all,

Recently, I installed WordPress (2.8.3) and bbPress (latest stable 1.0.2). The integration of users works correctly, but not the single sign on not work.

I can register in blog and the user it´s created in both and viceversa.

But i can´t logged in in both at the same time.

I have installed the plugin bb Integrationi in WordPress, and AUTH KEY, AUTH salt, etc… same in both config files, same in admin dashboards and add the COOKIEPATH in the wp-config…

When I login in, in any of them, 6 cookies are created: (????? are letters and numbers, same in all the cookies)

With the steps of this post, all is same…

Any idea about what its wrong?

[tmcandle234567]

Thanks – Works for me too! Really appreciate it.

If I may not be tedious – but I am just getting started and appreciate the help.

Is there some documentation that will show me how to get a menu to be inserted in the pages for the discussion board (rather than trying to hack the HTML and PHP (which is not one of the languages I write in right now). I know when I installed the events module that it inserted an events button in the main menus across the site.

Thanks much I am very close to having the basic site in place.
