Thank’s JJJ And Good Luck !

Hello everyone,

Today I’ve installed bbPress v1.0.2 on my local machine, But it doesn’t seem to look like this forum here.

Usually the official site uses the script as it is. But this one is different.

So, What version of bbPress is installed here, and which theme or plugins are being used?

Thanks.

BuddyPress acts as a wrapper for bbPress to get it to work seamlessly inside of WordPress, so using this built in method you won’t have access to the bbPress administration area to play with bbPress plugins.

If bbpress plugin use wordpress custom post types, is that mean that plugin how work on wordpress will work also with bbpress (like subscripte to comment for wordpress, similar topic plugin for wordpress …etc) ?

Things that bbPress can already do won’t disappear, but will rely on WordPress core functionality to replace them where possible.

Can you give us an idea how theme’ing will work when it is a plugin? Will it base itself around the current WordPress theme and kind of insert itself inside a blog post like other forum plugins do?

Like Kevin said, out of the box you could use the WordPress post type templates and easily make files to fit any theme. I’d also like to have a format similar to WordPress and BuddyPress, where maybe you can stash all of your bbPress template files in a subdirectory so they don’t get intermingled with your existing template files.

Matt and I have shared a similar dream for allowing blog posts to either act as or create their own dedicated forums, allowing for dedicated topics and branched discussions about those blog posts. Linear comment rivers often end up with hundreds of comments with no way to tell what is relavent to what you’re looking for. Allowing subscribed users to create topics around blog posts inside one installation could change things up in a really neat way. But, you can see how theming that could get complicated…

Honestly themes and plugins are really hard right now because there are a lot of dependency issues to try to work around, and I don’t have a 100% fool-proof plan yet. Once it’s time to start thinking about integrating bbPress into existing themes, we’ll probably huddle up with the WP core devs and talk about what everyone thinks makes the most sense.

When I go to the url where I uploaded the files inside the bbpress folder the address bar forwards to repg.us/forums/bb-admin/install.php/ but I just get the “Hello World!” post from my blog. I get this same thing in Chrome and IE.

It’s based on WordPress custom post types, so it’ll work of the custom post type theming rules.

index-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

loop-custom_post_type_name.php

single-custom_post_type_name.php

archive-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

etc.

If bbpress plugin use wordpress custom post types, is that mean that plugin how work on wordpress will work also with bbpress (like subscripte to comment for wordpress, similar topic plugin for wordpress …etc) ?

Hi again,

I just posted a new message on my forum and checked up on Google the way it was indexed. Sadly it’s not the way I expected.

My search was :

http://www.google.fr/#hl=fr&q=noomiz+malade&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=5a60871ebcf5564a

On Google :

http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum/topic/noomiz-nouveau-talent

URL of the post on my forum (better permalink) :

http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum/disque/noomiz-nouveau-talent

What could I do to make Google index the right url (…/forum/disque/…) ?

I’m using :

bbPress 1.0.2

Google Sitemaps Version 0.1 | Par Olaf Lederer

Nicer Permalinks Version 5.0.4 | Par mr_pelle

I have been able to successfully install and configure the following as a clean installation:

WordPress MU 2.8.1

bbPress 1.0.1

BuddyPress 1.0.3

I will post a *rough* outline of the steps for the installation. My installation is on a test server (Mac running php 5.3.0 under xampp ??? beta)

You need to get WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress login integration working successfully first.

These steps are for WordPress MU 2.8.1, bbPress 1.0.1 and buddyPress 1.0.3.

1. Download and install WordPress MU 2.8.1

2. Install the “bbPress Integration” plugin version 1.0 via the “Plugins” -> “Add New” menu of your wordpress mu installation.

In the search box enter ‘bbPress Integration” and click “Search Plugins”.

Click the “Install” link for the “bbPress Integration” version 1.0 plugin.

Click the orange “Install Now” button.

Click the “Activate Plugin” link.

3. Download and install bbPress 1.0.1 in a sub-directory of your wordpress installation.

I chose the sub-directory “/forums/”.

4. Load up the bbPress installation script by going to http://<yourdomain>/forums/

5. Click “Go to step 1″.

6. Enter the database name, database user and database password that you used for your wordpress installation.

You will not usually need to click “Show advanced settings”.

7. Click “Save database configuration file”.

You should see a message “Your settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php. You can now continue to the next step.”

8. Click “Go to step 2″.

9. Next you add the integration settings. This is the important part!

– click “Add integration settings”

– click “Add cookie integration settings”

– you will be presented with a list of eight text entry fields

– the first two are for your wordpress and blog url. For each of these enter your exact urls. I just used the same value for each. They need to commence with http://

– for all the cookie values just enter “COMMENT OUT”. These will become reference points in the bbpress config file for later.

10. Click “Add user database integration settings”. This step is also important!

Leave the existing value in the “User database table prefix” field.

Enter the WordPress Primary blog id value “1″ – THIS IS IMPORTANT.

11. Click “Save WordPress integration settings”

If all is well you should see this message.

Your WordPress integration cookie and database settings have been successfully validated. They will be saved after the next step.

Once you have finished installing, you should visit the WordPress integration section of the bbPress admin area for further options and integration instructions, including user mapping and the correct cookie settings to add to your WordPress configuration file.

12. Click “Go to step 3″.

– enter your site name

– enter your site url. I entered the url to the forums including the http://

e.g. http://bp.dev/forums/

– select the “admin” user for your wordpress installation

– enter a name for your first forum e.g. “Announcements”

13. Click the “Save site settings” button

14. Click the “Complete the installation” button

15. You should see a screen indicating installation has completed.

– click the “Show installation messages” option. Scroll through and see of any errors are reported.

16. At this point you should be able to login to your bbpress installation with your wordpress admin username and password.

17. Login to bbPress

18. Click the “Admin” link to go to the admin screen

19. Go to “Settings” -> “Writing” and enable XML-RPC publishing protocol (this is needed by buddyPress)

20. Go to “Settings” -> “Discussion” and enable pingbacks (I think this is needed by buddyPress ….?)

21. Go to “Users”

22. Go to “Settings” -> “WordPress Integration”

Set the mapping of bbPress roles to WordPress users roles

For the WordPress Administrator role select “bbPress Key Master”.

For all the others select “bbPress Member”.

Click “Save Changes”

23. Login to WordPress MU as the admin.

24. Go to “Plugins -> Add New”

25. Enter “bbPress Integration” and click “Search Plugins”.

– you should see “bbPress Integration” 1.0 listed

– click “install”

– click the orange “Install Now” button

– click “Acrivate Plugin”

26. Go to “Settings” -> “bbPress Integration”

Ensure there is a full url for the bbPress forums entered.

Select WordPress type “WordPress MU”

Click “Save Changes”

Copy the values listed in the dark grey box at the bottom of your page into your clipboard. There will be four lines that look something like this:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘da4672dda66fd60a6b80e420d32ef26c’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.bp.dev’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Don’t worry – these values will be different for your installation.

Open wp-config.php in an editor and insert these lines immediately after the opening “<?php” line.

Whilst you have wp-config.php open, copy the authentication keys to your clipboard. They look like this:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘800345c011dfad9261cedec0a3d914ffa1b40d67b23b66e4809797ce728f0b80′);

They will be different for your installation.

Save wp-config.php

27. Open bb-config.php

Find the lines containing the Authentication Unique Keys. They will have the values “COMMENT OUT” if you followed the instructions above. Comment these lines out!

Insert the lines from your clipboard into bb-config.php below the lines you commented out.

You need to edit each line you inserted and prefix the name of each constant with “BB_”

After doing that, the lines will be something like:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘800345c011dfad9261cedec0a3d914ffa1b40d67b23b66e4809797ce728f0b80′);

there is an in buddypress to automatically install the bbpress forum and in the forum setup i get this message

**************

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install

NOTE: The forums directory will only work if your bbPress tables are in the same database as your WordPress tables. If you are not using an existing bbPress install you can ignore this message.

*****************

Meanwhile i need to set the forum , and install plugins for the forum itself like for example the plugin to embed video but i cant reach the way to do that

anyone can help how can i activate the plugins of the forum integrated in the buddypress

Thanks

Simple Machine Forums, even though I’m using bbPress at the moment, I don’t recommend it

@auphoria which version of bbpress are you using?

I’m using 1.0.1 and ajaxed quote version 1.2

and working fine

[jurasiks]

I’m using bbPress from SVN for now.

Can somebody tell me more about standalone project future?

[jpbruckler]

I modified login-form.php in my theme. I changed the form action to my main site’s wp-login.php.

I then changed the name and id attributes of the username and password input boxes to match those that are expected in wp-login.php.

In WordPress, I used Peter’s Redirection plugin to redirect forum users back to the forum when they login.

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" class="login" method="post" action="http://<yoursite>/wp-login.php">

<div>

<label for="quick_user_login"><?php _e('Username'); ?></label>

<input class="input-text" name="log" type="text" id="user_login" size="13" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (!is_bool($user_login)) echo $user_login; ?>" tabindex="1" />



<label for="quick_password"><?php _e( 'Password' ); ?></label>

<input class="input-text" name="pwd" type="password" id="user_pass" size="13" maxlength="40" tabindex="2" />



<input name="re" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $re; ?>" />

<?php wp_referer_field(); ?>



<input type="submit" name="Submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo esc_attr__( 'Log in &raquo;' ); ?>" tabindex="4" />

</div>

<div class="remember">

<input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="quick_remember" value="1" checked="checked" tabindex="3"<?php echo $remember_checked; ?> />

<label for="quick_remember"><?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label>

Altough i’m waiting for the next bbpress version i can recommend one forum script that has a importer for phpbb2 and others, its MYBB, they’ve got a great comunity forum with international support.

http://www.mybb.com/downloads/merge-system

i like mybb but it has too many options etc, nothing wrong with it, if you use phpbb i think you’ll find it simpler but i prefer it even simpler like bbpress.

ps: i tested the importer a few weeks ago, imported from phpbb and smf and the importer worked perfectly (tried it on wampserver with dummy forums)

It’s based on WordPress custom post types, so it’ll work of the custom post type theming rules.

index-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

loop-custom_post_type_name.php

single-custom_post_type_name.php

archive-loop-custom_post_type_name.php

etc.

[alanchrishughes]

Can you give us an idea how theme’ing will work when it is a plugin? Will it base itself around the current WordPress theme and kind of insert itself inside a blog post like other forum plugins do?

[kriskl]

Hi

Thanks for the update

Will bbpress plugin be compatible (or with an easy way to import) with existing buddypress?

Re user profiles – it would be nice to have one profile (wordpress/bbpress/buddypress)

Thanks

Kris

[mpesgt01]

regarding the link above, bbpress seems to need way too many plugins to arrive to my needs. I m exact ?

Can we switch easaly from phpbb2 to bbpress ?
