I am still in the finishing stages of finishing mine up and always do need testing databases to make sure it works fine.
Do contact me if you would like to help me test it as I would like to test the converter on just more then my original IP.Board and default installations.
I have taken all of the integration and deep integration steps. I have even went to a few blogs and taken the extra steps.
I can only log into one of my sites at a time. If I log into wordpress, then I am logged out of bbpress and vice versa.
I have seen others post this forum, but there has been no answers to satisfy my problem.
I have made sure that all of the information in bb-config.php and wp-config.php were matching.
I’m so stumped.
What can be done to prevent this? It’s not a good advertisement for bbPress. One of the main problems with all the other forum software is their inability to tackle spam. WIth Akismet we should have a significant advantage.
I don’t know a lot about Akismet, but in this case I feel it should overlook the fact people are registered. A lot of this is blatant spam that I’d be surprised to see get past Akismet protection on blog comments. It’s like it’s giving registered people a free pass to post whatever they like – why should it let someone post 10 topics in a row? You can guarantee this is not legitimate posting behaviour.

Most certainly agree Gautam, you are accomplishing a lot for your young age, your future prospects should be very good indeed!

Thank you! One major thing that has changed is the prefix of the functions. Instead of bb_, it is bbp_. The functions names are easy to guess like bbp_forum_title, bbp_topic_title, bbp_topic_reply_count etc. We don’t have post – that has been split into topic and reply. Though post is used to refer to topic and reply both in some functions like bbp_fix_post_author(), but that’s a couple of functions only. Like the standalone, WP, BP, etc there are 2 versions of the same function – one that echoes and one that returns so you’d have bbp_topic_content, bbp_get_topic_content etc.
Right, there is a great need for the documentation. We’ve tried our best to have upto date inline documentation (phpDocs) in place.

hello thors1982,
Make sure the following are on your bb-config.php and not only in the bbpress admin panel :
BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY
I added only the line below to my wp-config.php (no lines added to bb-config.php)
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
hope it helped

And these popped up in mine – http://gaut.am/2011-a-new-kind-of-forum-software-is-born/comment-page-1/#comment-2667

Edit: Oh.. I read the rest of your comment later..
Well, yes the query count has gone up, there would have to be an optimization round.
Thanks for the age comment, though! 
these popped up in my alerts:
bbPress plugin project saw serious progress during Google Code-in
2011: A New Kind of Forum Software is Born
It’s a shame that topic split/merge had to wait until the plugin version to be done in the API and not in the previous few years for the standalone.
Neither of the writeups mention the impact of database queries and the size of the codebase so I will have to explore that next week. I suspect they are high. It’s easy to pile on features but hard to make them efficient.
ps. Gautam is only 15 ?! Wow, amazing work for such a young age.
Thanks for the update, John and Gautam!
As I am anxious to convert my existing stand-alone bbPress installation to the new WP-plugin version, I expect to start testing (and porting over my existing bbPress Theme) once the Plugin hits beta.
I’m curious about template tags, functions, and documentation. Are the existing template tags and functions from the stand-alone version used in the Plugin version, or have you developed all-new tags/functions?
Also, as I remember, part of the biggest problem with the stand-alone version was the lack of documentation. So (in all my free time…) I’ll do what I can to pitch in for documentation with the Plugin version.

As a sidenote to the original topic! …
Rich Pedley: @Mark – test again
Thanks for that Rich, you can see I’m having a little nose around, and thanks for the offer Gautam — Even started talking to myself, and trying out other stuff too!

I can’t seem to get users to login to both at all. I have tried several solutions on here and no matter what users will not login to both wordpress and bbpress.
I set all the cookie fields, and user database fields. Users are getting shared between the both just have to login twice.
I added the following to code to both wp-config and bb-config:
define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.domainname.com’ );
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
I am not using wordpress MU, so none of those options are checked. I am running bbpress 1.02 and wordpress 3.0.4

Gautam: We already have bbpdevel.wordpress.com – though that’s not active.
Which is why I said “[…] but for bbPress on bbPress.org right from the start” which is the route WordPress are going to go down with make.wordpress.org/code as bbPress would probably take that route too, so do it from the off!
Rich Pedley: http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/forum/ is kept fairly update and when you register you get access to almost everything to show what’s available etc.
I forgot about your site Rich, signed up, but ideally wanted to take a look at all the stuff you can’t see right now! 
All the back-end administration coolness!

32… sounds like phpBB
While I don’t has access to a demo, either locally or online that’s fully up-to-date it makes it hard to comment on some of the newer stuff committed, after my PC decided it didn’t want to be a PC anymore!
http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/forum/ is kept fairly update and when you register you get access to almost everything to show what’s available etc. however, there are a few bugs because it is running 3.0.4, when 3.1 is released I’ll be updating then (I don’t want it on the nightlies).
I’ve mentioned theming to my other ‘alf, but no point in starting until things have settled down. But with all these different files, I think it is even more important that action/filters be included from the off for plugin developers to hook into!
