This tutorial also explains integration for WordPress 3.0 – http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress (WP 3.0 also has cookie salts). Haven’t dug into this yet, maybe will do later.

There’s a plugin to get the buddybar into bbP – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

I updated it to work with buddypress 1.2

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddybar-for-bbpress/page/5#post-40993

It requires deep integration.

Hi there,

I’m working on a bbpress 1.0.2, wordpress 3.0 beta and buddypress 1.2.3 setup, but now I’m having problems with my bbpress. I did the same setup with 2.9.2 and that worked great, but I’m guessing WordPress 3.0 changed a lot.

Here’s what happened.

I installed wordpress normally with a different username than “admin” with my own password, all went well. After that I installed buddypress as a plugin, this went like it should as well. Then when I reached the bbpress installation (step 2), I entered all the secret keys and salt as I had them in my wp-config.php and pressed next step, it said that everything was validated but then in step 3 it let me choose a keymaster username, which I find odd since 2.9.2 didn’t. I entered a username/e-mail and finished the setup without a problem. No problems encounterd in the setup was said in the setup logs. Now here’s the strange thing, it made the tables in my database (which is the database that holds wordpress as well) but it did not make a bb-config.php file, so when I went to the URL of the main forum page, it gave me an error (which is when I discovert that there was no bb-config.php). It also made “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” in my database. I made bb-config.php myself after that with the same secret keys from wp-config and setup wp integration in bb-admin accordingly. This gave me shared cookie logins with my wordpress install (having bbpress intergration plugin installed in wordpress). But after having done all this, I cannot enter my bb-admin area anymore. I checked the files and figured out that the function bb_auth was causing me to be redirected to the main forum page.

So my question is, anyone solved this problem yet or can you help me solve it?

function bb_auth( $scheme = 'auth' ) { // Checks if a user has a valid cookie, if not redirects them to the main page

if ( !bb_validate_auth_cookie( '', $scheme ) ) {

nocache_headers();

if ( 'auth' === $scheme && !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', array( 're' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );

} else {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER ) );

}

exit;

}

}

Yury – I totally agree that we as a community need more control over things like docs, etc.! But I can’t see Matt giving FTP and database rights to us… maybe instead, we can download copies of the various releases and plugins and upload them to a backup server somewhere? And start some docs on another server, as you have.

Honestly – I would be shocked if Automattic shut down bbpress.org without warning. It would be a real black mark on Automattic’s reputation in the open source community, which is something Matt and his team are really proud of (and rightfully so). But if that’s something that a bunch of us are worried about, we can maybe create another thread to discuss how to prepare for that contingency.

Gautam – I’m not too worried about this next release, because Matt pretty clearly defined it before he disappeared:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64400

The next version though, we’ll definitely need to establish a clear direction – with or without Matt (but hopefully with him, or someone from Automattic!). But I’m not too worried about informing anyone… we’re posting on a public server, so it’s not like we’re hiding what we’re up to!

[Gautam Gupta]

about style – i saw that topic long time ago, but where is Sam? you said that there are no alive admins…

Sam has left automattic, but he sometimes replies on the trac tickets. (See the bbPress.org 2.0 – sneak peak topic’s last pages). He has also mailed the design files to some other automattic guy.

Why do we need to bother Matt again? We have everything we need to get the next version out the door… the cavalry isn’t coming to save us, but I think that’s ok.

Atleast we must inform the person whose project it was initially – you wouldn’t like if someone had access to your project and kept making changes, releasing new versions etc. in your absense.

[jurasiks]

Yes, John.

I see big problem: Matt left project, no active admins of this site. Only Chris as moderator.

We don’t know who’s hosting this site, nobody controling FTP.

simpler: we can’t add here new documentation, new version of bbPress to download section, we can’t make new design.

So, we must know – who in charge with this site and can give us (community) more permissions.

…or one day we can open bbpress.org and see… nothing.

that’s why we need Matt for bbPress future

[johnhiler]

“And main question: Who is admin of this site with full access if Matt left project?”

Is that the part you’re referring to? I guess I’m not understanding what contingency we’re preparing for. Matt has already de facto left the project, and Chris has been doing a wonderful job of making steady progress towards the next release.

Is the concern that if bbpress.org is suddenly shut down, we won’t have a backup of the data? Sorry – just trying to get my head around your concern!

[jurasiks]

John, please read above why we need Matt (or somebody who is admin of this site).

[johnhiler]

Why do we need to bother Matt again? We have everything we need to get the next version out the door… the cavalry isn’t coming to save us, but I think that’s ok.

Chris is doing a great job managing trac, and we’re making steady progress til the next version! Once that comes out, maybe we can pull up then?

[jurasiks]

we’ve got 1 open ticket till 1.0.3 on trac?

sent another message to Matt, spam his Facebook page…

is he ignoring us?

fix post position

function fix_post_position() {

global $bbdb;

$get_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics ORDER BY topic_start_time ASC");

foreach( $get_topics as $get_topic ) {

$get_posttopic = $get_topic->topic_id;

$postorder = 1;

$get_posts = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE topic_id = '$get_posttopic' AND post_position = '1' ORDER BY post_time ASC");

foreach( $get_posts as $get_post ) {

echo "UPDATE bb_posts SET post_position = ";

echo $postorder++;

echo " WHERE topic_id = ";

echo $get_post->topic_id;

echo " AND post_id = ";

echo $get_post->post_id;

echo " ;";

echo '<br/>';

}

} }

echo fix_post_position in your template file and copy the sql query to your database

[gerikg]

what is the name of your hosting company?

[robynh]

Yeah. It uses php5. What do you have to do, exactly?

[robalan]

Version 2.9.2, and yes all keys are defined in both files, with BB_ prepending the bb-config items.

@gerikg – thanks, I have updated wp-config.

Still no shared cookie, still no users showing up in bbPress.

[gerikg]

Does your server use php5? I use 1and1 hosting and I have to put a line in the htaccess or I get the same thing.

I think I might have broken something when setting up bbPress. I wanted it integrated with my wordpress site. While installing, when it asked for the username for the “Key Master” I put in Murgy, which is my WordPress admin name. Anyway, I went through the rest of the installation, integrations, etc. But now, when I log into WordPress, it logs me out of bbPress, and when I log into bbPress it logs me out of WordPress, so… I’m thinking that naming the initial Key Master the same as my WP admin name maybe wasn’t the smartest idea.

But anyway. Is there any way to fix this, or should I reinstall or something?

Hi Rabbitdk,

with manual coding it should be possible to display complete posts in wordpress.

I use the examples from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration to display an complete list of my forums and a short list of the newest topics.

http://www.mysteria3000.de/wp/

But I think – to make an original WordPress Post out of it – is not as easy as pure displaying.

hmmm….

For the last month I use the plugin ‘WordPress-bbPress syncronization’ (http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization). But these plugin does it the other way – make WordPress Post to Topics in bbPress and display answers (post in bbPress) as comments in WordPress. A skilled php developer can use this plugin and change some code to realize your idea.

Unfortunately I’m no developer

No, from inside the bbpress forum, I want to send a topic to my WordPress front so it’s published like a ordinary blog post

[gerikg]

Chrishaje, I think it’s something like this https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-recent-replies/#post-4989

but not recent replies but new topics that was just added….?

[rabbitdk]

Not sure that does exactly what I want, btw I am no good with codes, but that is explained pretty detailed so I could probably try it out (however, I just messed up my bbPress install while messing with permalinks )

I want the full forum post to be published as a blog entry, by the click of a button, to promote the posts as you said

[chrishajer]

Add a forum post to your WordPress front: does that mean if there is a forum post, you want to display it on your WordPress home page? As a sticky or something? You will do this manually whenever you feel like promoting a post?

Hi there!

I’ve been looking for a while now, I can’t find anything that suits me

I am looking for a plugin that easily lets me (the admin) add a forum post to my WordPress front.

I’ve tried out bbPress-WordPress syncronization, but this only syncs comments, right?

Thanks in advance
