I want to add a forum to this site and as i run the installer i get this message “An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.”

BBpress has been added in the forum folder in the root where the config.php file for the existing site to which i want to add a forum for. e.g mysite.com/forum(bbpress). It is asking me to remove the config file and if i remove the config file than the site won’t work. Has anyone got any suggestions, i have read through that some people managed to install bbpress with existing non-wordpress sites.

thanks in advance.

I came to bbpress in the hope that forum would be as great as wordpress. I hope i am right and can get the installation done.

[johnjos]

Is that a BBpress forum on your site?. Did you manage to integrate with your forum with non-wordpress site?. thanks.

[johnjos]

I am glad i read this post while waiting for upload of bbpress to finish. I am new to this game, do i have to create a database for a forum or it creates itself?.

Well bbPress as a plugin is progressing, and last official word was that there would be a testable version in a few weeks.

[VirtualityStudio]

it strikes again…

put require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php’); into bb-config to get my functions to load and it gave me this error:

Warning: require_once(/home/xxxx/public_html/forum/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/xxxx/public_html/forum/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

also tried with:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../../blog/wp-load.php’);

and it did the same thing, just with the dots after forum/

any ideas?????

I am having this problem too. You can check it at:

http://e-motion.lt/bbpress/topic/12/page/3

Go to page 4. The thread has one post deleted – #24.

I am using bbPress 1.0.2.

[VirtualityStudio]

I tried that and it would stack it on the end anyway… so i would get for example

home/user/directory/forum/home/user/directory/blog/file.php

out of desperation i tried the absolute path

just tried something else… I took the important parts out of the header and footer files and put them into the bbpress template files. it is loading now… sort of.

now onto the game of figuring out how to get some wordpress functions to work. I have the sliding door theme in wordpress, so ugghhh……..

thanks for your help!

When you are doing “require_once” you need to give it a filesystem path, not a URL.

So what is the full path to the file you want to include? That’s what your should use if you cannot figure out the relative path.

[VirtualityStudio]

tried doing an absolute path and got this error:

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

Warning: require_once(http://www.xxxx.com/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘http://www.xxxx.com/home/xxxx/public_html/blog/header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

[VirtualityStudio]

trying to integrate bbpress to use my wordpress theme… but running into problems. when i put the code into the bb.config file

require_once(‘../blog/header.php’);

if (file_exists(‘../blog/header.php’))

require_once(‘../blog/header.php’);

else

if (file_exists(‘../../blog/header.php’))

require_once(‘../../blog/header.php’);

it stacks the path on top of the forum path instead of where it belongs… giving me the error:

Warning: require_once(../blog/header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../blog/header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 70

has anyone else had this problem… and can you share how to fix it?

I’m using the method of replacing the header.php file content with <?php get_header(); ?> and the footer with <?php get_footer(); ?> if there is a better way of going about this, I’m open so please share

thanks!

[chrishajer]

You need to use a table prefix for the database for integration between WordPress and bbPress to work. I’m not sure how to get around that now that you are already using WordPress without a table prefix.

One question per topic please.

@Rich Pedley

Nonetheless, I hope this causes action on Matt/Auttomatic to take bbPress more seriously.

[ratracegrad]

I am helping a friend get bbpress installed with his wordpress site at http://www.sealgrinderpt.com and http://www.sealgrinderpt.com/forums.

I have it installed. I have added a link on home page to get to the forums.

My wordpress integration seems to not be working. He has an admin account on wpress that is not recognized on the forums. I created an default admin account in the bbpress installation. That account is not recognized when logon to wpress. The wp_config file does not have a $table entry so wondering if that is my downfall on the integration.

Next question is how to get the header and look and feel of wpress site to carry over to the forum? I want at least the logo at top and the navigation menus.

Thanks for help on these 2 issues. I am sure I will have more as I work on this site for my friend. Thanks in advance for all of the assistance.

Everyone knows that the forums at WordPress are powered by bbPress.

And for any technology, the ultimate insult that your software has died is when someone comes in behind you to create a new system to replace your failing system.

Well, that just happened with bbPress !!!

Joel Spolsky has released StackOverflow to replace the current WordPress forums (powered by bbPress)

http://joelonsoftware.com/items/2010/08/31.html

I hope MATT and others take notice and get serious about bbPress. It’s embarrassing that Joel has to call out all of the missing features and functionality and support of bbPress in his article (even though he doesn’t call out bbPress directly).

MATT, please take this as a major cause of action to improve bbPress.

[zaerl]

So maybe BuddyPress has done something weird with your DB. BuddyPress + bbPress = bad.

[zaerl]

wp_ = wordpress

wp_bb_ = bbpress

admin ID = 1

wp_usermeta:

1 wp_capabilities = a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

1 wp_bb_capabilities = a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

logout, login.

[kevinjohngallagher]

This version (original) of bbPress isn’t compatible tiwh BuddyPress. I’m afraid you have to ask on the BuddyPress forums for how they fix these things

[coastwise]

This may seem like a strange request so I’ll try to describe the whole situation. I have a couple of web applications I have tied together by creating an OpenID Provider server for the main app, and configured bbpress as a Consumer using a modified version of the OpenID Plus plugin. Everything works great except logout. Since each app controls its own session information separately, logging out of one does not log out of the other. I can hook into bbpress’ logout to call the appropriate function in my main app, but the opposite direction is proving difficult.

In my logout function external to bbpress I have the following:

require ('../forum/bb-load.php');

bb_logout();

but receive this error when its executed:

Fatal error: Call to a member function suppress_errors() on a non-object in ***/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 63

Line 62 and 63 from the file in question

global $bbdb;

$bbdb->suppress_errors();

I don’t understand how it could get as far as this line without setting $bbdb in bb-settings.php. Any ideas?

Fortunately, I have stored the settings of my bbPress in my laptop. I uploaded again in the former path. I reloaded the former site, and it worked. Then I changed the path, and tested whether it works in their new path. It worked! I deleted the old folder, and I have no problem in my root directory.

The service guy in my hosting company has had hard time, ad the setting was not in Enlgish. I still wonder what makes it work in Korean language even after I have delelted all the non-English related settings, files and folders.

Hello,

I installed bbpress in this folder: /mysite/forum/ I logged into admin panel to try and fix the front page link that’s supposed to take users back to the main site (but doesn’t).

I noticed that non of the admin links work; No matter which I click on I get a screen line this one: http://imagebin.org/112099.

Would someone tell me how to fix this, as well as how to properly link bbpress to my main site, I’m just going in circles here.

Thanks.

I’ve just placed the bbpress folder in my root wordpress directory of my site. I would like to integrate the two. Does it matter where I place the bbpress folder?

As soon as I navigate to the bbpress folder, I’m seeing the following error messages at the top…
