Hi smf, I tested Simple forums (I also tested Joomla with Kunena and ccborad, and phbb, and Vanilla).

In the end, I am settling for bbPress for forums because I need single-user sign on with my content system, and I settled on wordpress for that (Joomla was too slow and I wanted a very fast, responsive site).

So if you need forum integration with something, you have more factors to consider than just the forum software itself.

Simple Forums does provide single-user signon with WordPress, but it’s UGLY and there are no good-looking themes. That said, simpleForums is a highly functional forum system and seamless integration with both user and menu-system.

Just found this thread, and wanted to say I am using WP 2.8x and bbPress 1.01 succesfully together now; user integration is just what I wanted. Only catch remains the style (user interface) integration, which I’m hoping to sort out eventually (hard when I don’t know CSS at all).

[gravitydk]

You got the integration plugin installed? It specifically fixes cookies both ways.

Hey.

I was clearing my test forums on my bbPress install, I deleted all forums and when I try to load my forums I get this message;

Oh dear!



Please complete your installation before attempting to include WordPress within bbPress



bbPress is already installed.



Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

What on earth has gone wrong? All I have done is deleted forums?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I followed all directions I have been able to find on the web but I still have a problem: logging in to bbPress logs me out of WordPress and vice versa. All settings and config files look ok.

The site is at http://www.stereostokey.com, and the forums are at http://www.stereostokey.com/forums

Any ideas? Could it have to do with the theme modifications I have made?

Cheers,

Tom

I have written a function I call bb_list_pages() and I’ve added it & some support code to a functions.php file in my bbPress theme’s folder. This does NOT work using the WordPress wp_list_pages() logic. Rather, it attempts to output the same results as that function. There are things that wp_list_pages() does that this function can’t do, but it works for my site. If folks are interested, I’ll post the functions.php file after I finish getting it debugged.

I just have one question. How can I determine what the current page’s URI is? I need this to highlight the page on the menu.

Thanks

Tony

Did you install WordPress and bbPress in the same directory? You shouldn’t have any problem like this just from installing or integrating bbPress.

Has anything changed with with the steps for setting up Pretty Permalinks on bbPress 1.0.1?

I have tried the methods in the FAQ, without success, on two different webhosts (Media Temple & Bluehost).

Adding a .htaccess file with “Options +MultiViews” results in an error message when I try to load any page in the forum. When I try to visit “/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php”, it redirects to the permalink settings page, and I do not see any code being generated that I could add to my .htaccess file instead.

I have bbPress installed in a subdirectory with WordPress in the root directory. I have Pretty Permalinks functioning just fine in WordPress.

Have I missed anything obvious here?

I have used PHPBB and that is a pretty robust service. But I liked having something integrated. BBPress works okay for now.

I am looking for a plugin that will allow someone to share posts on my forum via social networking sites. WordPress has tons of them. Anyone found one for BBPress yet?

А, сега се сетих – в някои проекти за превод на свободен софтуер са приели като правило да не се използва заповедна форма. Например вместо “Добави” -> “Добавяне”, вместо “Изтрий” -> “Изтриване” и тъй нататък.

Но пък наистина скоро не съм ползвал превода на WordPress и не зная какъв е стила … пък и да се мъчиш да преправяш сега за тая версия не си е работа.

I am using bbpress 1.0 and wordpress 2.8.2. After the bbpress installation, I went back into wordpress and came to the site where all the pages were missing showing “Not Found. Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”

When I try to login in to the site admin, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I can login to bbpress, but not to wordpress. Any ideas? I went into the mysql and data is still there.

Hi,

I’m running a heavy metal forum, which has band sections, event sections etc. I would love to know if there is a way to link certain words with their destined pages.

e.g.:

I have a band page about “Linkin Park” on page x. So whenever someone mentions Linkin park, it should be auto-linked to page x.

Is this doable? And how? Any ideas?

Here you have a similar for WordPress-plugin for that:

OK, I’m working on integrating my WordPress & bbPress themes. I’m doing the work in the bbPress theme files.

What I did was I copied the style.css from my WordPress theme into the new bbPress theme directory. Now I’m working on the header.php file, figuring the best place to start would be at the top of every page.

The navigation bar from my WordPress theme uses a javascript file which is included in the scripts/ folder under the directory where the theme lives.

I’m calling bb_get_active_theme_directory() to get the directory name, but this is not returning anything. The Appearance page in the admin console for bbPress is using the theme I’m editing, and viewing the page source shows the wrong value for the script file name.

A couple of lines earlier in the header.php file, it calls bb_stylesheet_uri() & that returns the full URI of the stylesheet. I want everything that’s in there minus the “style.css”. How do I get it?

Tony

[TonyVitabile]

Thanks. I’ve been reading a little about deep integration & I’m not sure I want the overhead. This is a new site with only about 45 pages or so of static content, to date, and the amount of content will grow over time. Getting bbPress to load WordPress, too, sounds like it will slow everything down, especially as content grows.

As the pages are all contained in the database, and bbPress is already storing its data in the same database as WordPress, I was just looking for a function that would work like wp_list_pages() only using bbPress variables.

I guess I’m going to have to go spelunking through the WordPress & bbPress code.

What is the equivalent of <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?> on wordpress template tag for bbpress?

I want to display text when user is logged in and something else if user is not logged in

[TonyVitabile]

Hi folks. I’m pretty new to WordPress — I’ve only been working with it for about a month. And brand new to bbPress–I just installed it last week

I’ve got a theme installed on my WordPress MU site that I like. I want the bbPress pages to look similar. So I’m in the process of editing the bbPress template. Basically I want to use the same style sheet & just change all of the id tags to the ones that are in the stylesheet.

In addition, though, I’d like the two sites to share menus. I’ve got a nice horizontal dropdown menu that came with my theme that I’m using. The menu contains the pages in my WordPress blog.

I’ve duplicated the code for the menu in my bb-press theme’s header.php, but there is no wp_list_pages function in bbPress. Should I just write a function & add it to a functions.php file for my template? I suppose I can steal some of the wordpress code for the function & just modify the variables as necessary.

Does this sound like a good approach, or has someone else done this?

Also, I want the menu in both systems to have links to individual forums. Having a Forums link in the menu is cool, but I want 2 specific forums in other places in the menu structure. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tony

You can use CSS to do this. Simply find the class or id of the tags (view source is the quickest way), probably enclosed in <p> tags, I can’t remember, then edit the style.css file in your theme. Find the class/id and add:

‘text-transform:capitalize;’

More info can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_text_text-transform.asp

I’ve been using phpBB3 up until yesterday when it decided to go crazy for no reason and die. It was a good chance to change to bbPress as I had been considering it for a while. I’m loving the idea of users tagging topics but I can’t seem to find a way to edit tags like you can in WordPress’ control panel. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and people are creating tags with wrong capitalisation so any new tags that have correct capitalisation are automatically converted to the original incorrect form. Are there any plugins out for editing bbPress tags, or any way I can quickly modify them without a plugin?

On BBPress, when a user is not logged in and they click on a link that uses “?re=URL…” they are being sent directly to a 404 Error page. It works when I login to the Admin area, but not any other URL.

For example:

@tiptaptip you forums is smf not bbpress

[Rohan Kapoor]

It is very simple. I will explain to you how to do it. Use 1 WordPress MU site for the database and then integrate each bbpress with cookies and user database integration. It works fine. I’ve done it!
