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>

</div>

</form>

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.

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

I would give bbPress a try, it’s easy to design your own layout for it

I was wondering if anyone knows why I would be getting the following error when attempting to install the bbpress system?

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

This is immediately after uploading all downloaded files, and when browsing to the installed directory

http://www.aceslegacy.com/community

[Jodie Burdette]

Ifollowed the install directions but when I went the URL where I had uploaded there was not installer. I got a bbPress forum page with a login box in the top left and a Forums: page not found error.

What do I do now?

Hi

I am using phpBB 2 with 2300 users

I was okay for a while with that forum… I want to change and update… not sure I do like the phpBB3 tough, so I did a little search. Even tough I am using WP on my article side of site, I am not sure that bbPress is the best choice for me

What forum would be a good choice for

– 2300 user

– french or english

– send PM

– RSS

– Forums and sub-forums

– need to be able to “embed” a youtube video when members are posting

– Profiles

– Avatars and signatures

I use this to try to help me

hmm, ok. how about something outside bbpress that does something similar with an RSS feed?

I’m looking to pair the forums on my website with an already existing active listserv. Is there a plugin out there that allows me to send a regular summary of the discussions happening on my bbpress forum to my listserv?

Thanks!

Meredith

[mr_pelle]

Do you mean this plugin? “Compatible up to .80” doesn’t sound good to me…

Suggestion: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/working-member-list

[maxumimike]

You should be able to integrate with it not being in a sub-directory – but I found it much easier to have it in a sub.

Thank you for this info.

I really need bbPress plugin with Akismet.

Great project, have a nice job on it!!!

Many thanks.

Simple:Press is ok, but i like more your bbPress style. It’s very simple!

[John James Jacoby]

@qprints That is the plan. Anything that might add any extra bloat should be modular, so you can turn each component on or off as needed. A good example would be that there’s no need to load up bbPress User Profile code if BuddyPress is there to handle things.

@Jyri No promises about a SimplePress importer at launch, but in the spirit of owning your own data it would make sense to have that too.

[hpguru]

I suggest you Import from bbPress and other forum plugins. I use now Simple:Press, but i want use bbPress plugin in future.

Thank you for your hard work!!! We need all bbPress plugin!

I had this functionality in my phpBB installation before I switched to BBpress,. A friend of mine wrote me a piece of code which does essentially the same thing. Don’t ask me to extend it. I’m not a programmer.

What does it do:

It will automatically replace keywords and link them to a page you have specified.

Example use:

Deep linking to affiliate products or articles on your website.

How to install it:

1) Open the file “Text2Aff.php”. Specify the keywords and links.

2) Upload it the folder “text2aff” to “my-plugins” folder.

3) Log in to your admin panel and activate the plugin

Version: This is version 0.1 and has been tested with BBpress 1.02

Planned:

Would be great to have some sort of admin panel to manage the keywords and urls. Moving this into the database. You are welcome to extend it. Any comments appreciated.

Looking forward to this, one thing though, couldn’t “User’s Profiles” be a plugin? WordPress already has many user profile plugins

I love the idea of “keeping things as small and light as possible” (front page quote)

If at all possible, could the code for the “legacy support layer for existing plugins” be kept separate? and therefore easily removable

[_ck_]

Huh?? “call it something new and fork it” ??

Um, but “1.2” itself is a fork without being renamed?

Forks of the original standalone bbPress serve the community by giving them somewhere to turn to since they are being abandoned. In less than a year they will find this forum completely useless for assistance.

So I consider fork announcements a badly needed public notice/service.

Kevin feel free to duplicate this topic on my site if need be, as well as any anyone else making a fork announcement of their own.
