The plugin that isn’t ready yet, John?

…Tease.

[CherylS]

I installed WordPress, everything working fine. Then I installed bbPress in folder called /forums. But when I enter username/forums in my browser, “I get This link appears to be broken.” I thought it was supposed to install bbPress at that point and then I would enter the database information.

Well for those interested. Here is how I solved it… Skipped the integration step all together. After install, I defined the cookie path in both config files, regenerated all the unique kees and salts, installed the bbpress plugin for WP integration, entered the settings and role mapping (make sure you do this before saving) I had to redo this b/c I role mapped myself right out and couldn’t get in at first

Awesome the last alpha! This is looking good! Go Fight JJJ and Gautam, good work!

I have WP/BP integrated on a site I’m working on. I’d like t0 use my WP header/footer. If I understand correctly there are really 2 different ways to do this. Deep integration or simply edit the the bbpress header to match the WP header. Is there a preferred way? I don’t really need any of the other WP functions within my bbress install aside from matching header/footer

If you create a topic or make a reply in your bbPress powered forum that comes with BuddyPress, it automatically creates activity feed items to match. The plugin will be integrated in a similar manner.

You can checkout a copy (if you know how to do it). The SVN link is on the download page. Otherwise you can get a copy of the alpha version from here – https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk (scroll down and download as Zip Archive). Hope that helps.

I was thinking… I’m using bbpress, wordpress/buddypress..

Buddypress has @mentions, is it possible to make Buddypress stream forum activity?

(forums is separate yet fully integrated) (including @mentions)

I am having a very hard time understanding the instructions. I have uploaded the unzipped bbpress files to the following folder:

campbellduke.com/sandbox/bbpress (sandbox.campbellduke.com – as it’s an addon domain).

When I go to sandbox.campbellduke.com/bbpress, it redirects correctly to the bb-admin/install, but the page gives the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/camp2909/public_html/sandbox/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/translations.php on line 139

If, on the other hand, I go to: sandbox.campbellduke.com/bb-admin I end up back in my wordpress dashboard.

Help!

Im running an integrated (NOT deep integration) install with WordPress 3.1.1 with bbpress 1.0.3. Everything is setup and working great between WP and bbpress except for 1 issue…

When I login using the forum sidebar, I can only see that I logged in once I refresh the page, or go to a different page (example: click on a forum). Once I refresh, the login prompt goes away and I see the logged in user information, logout prompt etc.

Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? Ive went through the integration guide and double checked everything.

Are you using PHP 5.3? If your host allows, then switch to 5.2 till the time bbPress 1.1 isn’t out. (Or you may try out the 1.1 alpha)

@Paul – Done.

@stockable.net – Open to anything, but I have a semi-strict laundry-list of things I’m looking for to have something included in the package.

[Paul Gregory]

Excellent progress.

@JJJ

Probably a bit late now, but could you please can you bung an “Updated: April 14 2011” or similar in the top post whenever you update?

As it stands, some people may come to that post and think that was the state of play 6 months ago!

Hello there,

I just installed bbpress and came across nothing that seemed out of the ordinary during the installation. When trying to access the forum index, however, I get something that looks like this:

(actually I’m not sure what markups work here so I’ll put a text link)

What? How do I fix this? When I try to log in, it gives me a whole screen full of similar messages. I can take a screen shot of those and post it if needed. I’ve tried deleting my forum directory and giving it a clean install, but the problem persists.

Thanks!

If anyone wants to mock some designs for a new template, I’d love to see some. Thinking something simple like kakumei, with the timeless look of TwentyTen, with some P2 mixed in for good measure.

@JJJ

Would you be open to a ‘starter’ theme so users can create their own bbPress theme with ease? I have one almost finished. This theme also includes theme options where users can switch between a single column, 2 column, and three column etc.

[John James Jacoby]

This is possible to do in the trunk/development version of bbPress, which will eventually be version 1.1 and is very near completion. A few issues cropped up a few weeks ago and there are trac tickets open for them that need to be addressed before a beta will be made available.

@yutt – It’s my official job responsibility at Automatic to contribute a relatively large percentage of my time directly to the development of both bbPress and BuddyPress. The past negativity of the bbPress community has played a part in the lack of developer contributions, but I think a bigger part is the need for integrated forums not being as large as some of us perceive it to be. If everyone wanted it, more people would naturally contribute. Either way, I’m happy to keep things moving, and I’m always around if someone needs to contact me, has questions, etc… It’s also not a matter of “WordPress HQ” since bbPress is its own project, it’s more a matter of someone committing to seeing it through, which I plan to.

@qprints – Good eye
