well, yes that was exactly what i tried to do. but when i add in wp_config.php the following require_once(‘address/bb-load.php’);

it works but messes up wp-admin layout..

any idea hot to integrate properly?

thanks

[chrishajer]

Thanks for the info. Since your site is in English, it’s probably not using another language file. You’d have set it so you would know. It does appear to be integrated with WordPress? If so, what version WordPress and what do you do for integration?

You need to deep integrate bbpress into wordpress not the other way around.

Hi Guys,

I am new to bb and wp. Just installed the latest version of WP and BB. Database and cookie integration works great. Now i have a couple a questions about template/themes integration.

1. i want to use bbpress login system on both WP and BB (i.e. want to display login pass on WP).

here what i’ve tried to do:

a) in wp_config.php added require_once(‘address/bb-load.php’);

b) in the header.php (in themes) added

<div class=”login_bg”>

<?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( ‘login-page’, ‘register-page’ ) ) ) login_form(); ?>

</div>

so it did the job, i was happy until i went to wp-admin and found out that it is messed up…

any suggestions?

2. What would you suggest for themes integration (to get the same feel and look)?

Thanks.

Has anyone actually got this working yet?

I’m running bbpress 1.0.2 and the latest WordPress 2.8.2. User and cookie integration is working perfectly, but I’ve been trying to do a “deep integration” so that I can use WordPress’s templates.

Whenever I try to include “wp-blog-header.php” in the config file like in past installations of bbpress, my forum spews a blank white page at me. I *know* that it’s finding the header file, because if I purposely change it to the wrong path, it’ll spew out an error at me.

Just to try it, I’ve also attempted to include wp-load.php, wp-config.php, as well and have ended up with the same blank page every time. At first I suspected it may be a permalinks issue, but even after disabling that the blank page persisted.

I started over from scratch. I’m still having the problem. I log into one, but the other remains logged out. Both bbpress and WPMU recognize my User information, but I have to log in or log out twice.

I’m looking at incorporating php_Free_Chat into my WordPress site. Others have been able to integrate it into their WordPress sites. I’m not sure if it can be directly integrated into bbPress; however, it may work if ‘deep integration’ is used (Sorry for mentioning DI, Sam).

php_Free_Chat is free, unless you remove the link button to their site.

Cimy swift SMTP for bbPress might be useful for you.

It is a remake of ‘Cimy Swift SMTP’ for bbPress.

I have been working on a site for a client and he just let me know that all the rss feeds are broken. I have tried downgrading to 1.0.1 and upgrading to 1.0.2 but in neither of them the feeds work. The rss displays the title but the rest is blank. For example: http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/rss/topic/canadian-players-overseas

wordpress is installed and deep integrated at http://canadianrugby.ca and bbpress is http://canadianrugby.ca/forums

Any help would be appreciated.

phpFreeChat is free, unless you remove the link button to their site, then there is a price structure that is based on the type of website you are hosting.

Here’s the link that discusses WordPress integration:

It is a little complicated to do it as it requires a lot of database modifications. I can do it for you. You can email me at rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com

Hello chrishajer,

I am running WordPress 2.8.2 and BBPress 1.0. I have put it into a file called functions.php in the kakumei dir. because I am using the kakumei theme.

I noticed that the new functions file is address to wordpress mu. and I am not running wordpres mu. what should I do now. what code should I put in the header to call that functions to deliver the header. I know also that I neeed to change “wordpress_mu_primary_blog_id” to some that call the regular wordpress but what itis?

THANK U for sparing some time and help with me!

[chrishajer]

If you are using 1.0, create a file called functions.php in your current theme directory, and put all that code into it.

If you’re using less than 1.0, you can create a plugin from that code. Just add a plugin header to the top of all that, like this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: WordPress pages for bbPress

*/

?>

And put it into file called something like wordpress-pages.php and drop that into folder called my-plugins at the same level as bb-plugins. If the folder is not there, you can create it. After it’s in the folder, log into the admin, you should see it there, then activate it. And report back how it worked for you.

Thanks

[aprendedor]

where will you put this file. and how would you link it to the theme? I would love to try it but I am not sure how to address it.

[chasingu]

Ok. So I don’t want my wordpress anymore. However, I do want the forum. So what i need is the members from the site to be transfered to the forum with all their information intact along with the topics. I also want to move the forum from bbpress to the root. Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

I would think that would be useful as a plugin for people wanting to integrate their WordPress page navigation into bbPress. has anyone tried it out?

[chrishajer]

What version are you using, is it integrated with WordPress and are you using a language file?

[chrishajer]

Another way to do it is with Nathan Rice’s “Custom Field Redirect Plugin”:

WordPress Plugins

I know the horse has left the barn, but I was using all manner or redirect hacks and finally settled on this one and never looked back.

FF 3.5.1. Running on a recent MacBook with OS X 10.5.7.

I deleted all of the cookies in Firefox & cleared the cache. No difference in behavior.

The hosted site is definitely working right. Could it be some kind of rights issue on the local files?

Tony

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

What version of FireFox?

Have you dumped your cache and flushed your cookies?

[TonyVitabile]

I like the way that WordPress.org’s forums have buttons for inserting the allowed mark-ups. Did they just add those buttons themselves? Is there a plugin that does that?

While I’m at it, I’d like people to be able to insert links to images in their bbPress posts. I don’t want anyone uploading their images to my server, but if they want to put a picture up on Kodak.com or photobucket.com or wherever & link to it, I’m ok with that. Are there any plugins that do that?

Tony

[TonyVitabile]

Friendly bump.

I know it’s summer & times are slow. I cannot use Firefox to view the local copy of my website when I am making changes. If I am using Firefox, I have to make my changes locally, upload them to the host, and then I can test the changes. This is a lot slower than doing everything locally — just from the increased number of steps.

Thanks

I’m working on my first bbPress theme and I am going to have two columns on most pages. I will likely vary the content of this second column depend on which page you are on.

I’d like to use a separate sidebar just like WordPress so that I can create a few different files that I could load.

These sidebars need not draw any content from WordPress, I don’t need deep integration or anything. I’m just wondering what would be the best way to go about doing this.

Theme Playground’s bbPress forum has it’s sidebar added to the footer.php file, which sounds like a good idea, but seems a bit impractical for multiple sidebars.

I also found this simple sidebar plugin in the forums which adds the “bb_get_sidebar()” function to bbPress. A neat idea, but I hate to frivolously add extra plugins, especially when it is essential for the theme to work properly.

So what I have done in my theme is to simply use an include like this:

<?php include ('sidebar.php'); ?>

This has been working fine for me and I don’t see any reason not to do it like this.

But does anyone else have a different method that has some advantage? Or is there plans for, or already an official function like “bb_get_sidebar()” that I am unaware of?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Make sure you flush all your cookies and then double check that the keys from wp-config are correct in bb-config. Usually that’s a cookie missmatch.

[anandasama]

In WordPress you need to Rewind posts for faking multiple loops but it doesn’t exist in BbPress?

@tom thanks for the core hack. I will try it, and then write a custom query for forum 17 with no pagination.
