Nice layout, but isn’t it possible to change the URL structure? It would look a lot cleaner if it was rewritten.

Nice concept.

I’m away from WoW for 2 years now but it’s interesting to see that people still raid Naxxramas.

I’m using WP 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9. I wasn’t able to get the logins to sync either, and so decided to revert to the more stable versions until that bug is worked out.

[chrishajer]

If you’re not trying to integrate then the WordPress version does not matter.

I installed 0.9.0.2 a while back and did not have that problem. Glad you got 1.0-Alpha working.

[mojorob]

I’m not trying to have integrated users & logins between wordpress & bbpress.

Following my approach from above, I have been able to get bbpress 1.0-Alpha working without doing anything different than I did with 0.9.0.2

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6.2 and bbPress 0.9.0.2 are not compatible with cookies and logins. But I don’t think that would create this problem. Are you trying to have integrated users and logins between WordPress and bbPress?

Also, re: bb-config-sample.php, the web installer can take care of modifying the sample file and creating a bb-config.php. It didn’t used to do that, but it can take care of it now.

Hi,

Newbie setting up bbpress with integration to wordpress but coming across a problem.

Inatalled latest version of WordPress on Wednesday and BBpress yesterday but BBpress gives the following error when starting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /websites/LinuxPackage03/xp/er/ie/xperiences.co.uk/public_html/xperiencesforum/bb-config.php on line 28

Line 28 of my bb-config.php file is:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_xpe’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

My forum site is:

http://www.xperiences.co.uk/xperiencesforum/

Any help resolving this would be welcome.

Many thanks

Catequil

Thanks Chris.

I’m really not too fussed whtehe or not there are spaces as they work.

The spaces probably activated my raticular activating system and impulsed me to write this topic

[mojorob]

I’ve followed the installation instructions, including saving bb-config-sample.php as bb-config.php with the correct values (although it doesn’t say to do this in the bbpress installation instructions). When I go to the intended URL of the bbpress site I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_kses_no_null() in /homepages/45/d144276697/htdocs/mysite.net/news/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 240

I have a wordpress installation in /news/ of the domain, and attempting to put bbpress into /news/forum/

WordPress: 2.6.2

bbPress: 0.9.0.2

Any thoughts?

[chrishajer]

I say “why restrict the characters in the login?” I would vote to leave them in. Most people won’t use them, especially if they’ve been around for a while and are used to no spaces in usernames. But why arbitrarily limit the characters in the username?

[Bharat Karavadra]

Just for information and perhaps integrity debates, I would like to tell you all that I currently only allow registration from WordPress.

I noticed a few messages about usernames with spaces and have found that WordPress allows registration with usernames with spaces, and bbPress does allow login with the same.

However, I have found that the general normal condition on the Net is that usernames do not have spaces.

This could be seen as a great advantage of WordPress and bbPress or it could disturb the status quo.

Everyone’s feedback would be appreciated.

I haven’t attempted this alpha 2 install yet, but I will sometime this weekend hopefully, however, in regards to the issue that bharatk was seeing in alpha 1… I was seeing the same thing. When integrating with WordPress 2.6.2, from the looks of it, you are only able to be logged in AND access the admin page of either WordPress or bbPress at one time. It seemed to work fine as a normal user to log into both entities at the same time and retain function, but I can double check that again before I upgrade. It just seems like the Admin functionality is limited to being logged in to either WordPress or bbPress at one time. If you log into one and then want to go to the other, you have to log out of the original one you logged in to. Let me know if you want any additional information before I upgrade and I can get it for you.

[blankpoint]

Looks great. What versions WP and BB are you using. If the most recent of each, how did you get the cookies to integrate? Right now, I and most other people it seems, can’t get it all working correctly. Logging in on one side results in only partial access and functionality in the other, it seems.

[xyhn]

Here’s my recently launched WordPress/bbPress site.

http://nightsed.com/

http://nightsed.com/forums

The custom design is integrated between the two sites. I’m using several bbPress and WordPress mods, but there is also some custom php work.

Cheers!

To benefit fully from intergrating bbPress with my WordPress, I downgraded and went to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. Now I know a plugin that allows you to display the last topics/discussion on your blog exists for bbPress 1.0, but I was wondering if something like this has been made for bbPress 0.9.2?

Thanks,

James

I have found a problem with the login between WordPress and bbpress. Alpha 1 didn’t have this issue.

It’s the same as @bharatk reported.

[-javier-]

Any news about it? I have the same issue. May be downgrade to alpha 1 can be a solution?

[vannak]

Hi all,

bbpress integrated with wordpress works fine but there is only one problem. the problem is that username which is registered in bbpress and it is blank in the post author in wordpress.

please help…

thank in advance

[chrishajer]

No.

Kakumei is a theme (WordPress terminology) or a template (bbPress terminology) and controls the display of the content on your site. Any modifications you make to your site should be done in these template files, never in the core. Changing core files makes it hard to upgrade to newer releases: you lose your changes with every upgrade. So, if you make the changes in a template file, you can maintain them between releases.

Also, by default, the stock kakumei theme is used and it’s in the bb-templates directory. I recommend creating a new directory called my-templates (if it’s not there already) at the same level as bb-templates. So, in a directory listing, they’d be at the same level. Then, inside there, create a directory called mytheme or some other name that is descriptive for your forum. This directory name does not matter. (The my-templates one DOES matter.)

Now that you have a my-templates directory, and inside that a new directory with a name you choose, copy everything from inside the bb-templates/kakumei/ directory to this new directory you created. Then, open up style.css and change the header to give this new template a unique name on line two. You will see this there:

Theme Name: Kakumei

Change that to “Theme Name: My Cool New Theme” or whatever you want. Then refresh your admin panel, and you will see a new theme. You can change the rest of the lines in that header as well, to things that are meaningful to you. Be sure not to modify the text before the colon, just change the text after, to your values.

Now, modify the php and css files in this directory to change the look of your forum. You can switch back and forth between themes here. If you break something, just choose the default theme until you fix the one you were working on.

Sorry for the really late reply. Didn’t see my topic with a reply.

To bbPress’ credit I got that error and alot more when intergrating the wordpress database and theme intergration (But it is currently alpha) and I am looking forward to the stable release of 1.0 now that I’ve seen it and essentially test drived it.

If your still having problems I can only assume your also using the 1.0 alpha as well, in which case I’d suggest you consider downgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. I did a couple days ago and it is very stable, the intergration is perfect and I have no problems with permalinks etc.

[teo7]

I forgot update the bbpress user’s role. When I did that, the problem disapeared. Now my forum is working perfectly.

[Bharat Karavadra]

That’s good,

I first sounded as if we should take a step backwards.

Sorry for my misinterpretation!

[Radium]

Well, the issue has not been resolved and it is a problem with Alpha 2. For now I myself am going to stick with Alpha 2 until an update (or plugin for wordpress as the keymaster mentioned in the linked topic above) is released. This problem would probably require some code modification, but I don’t have time to carouse the php at the moment. At least they forewarned us by calling it alpha

Hello,

My server seized up yesterday and it looks to me like the bbpress-live plugin was the root cause of the problem. I could be wrong and would be grateful for some other’s opinions on this.

Does that mean you resolved it or you still need help? That logged in cookie key can be found in your wp-config.php, line 15:

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',
