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

Fix Topic Slug phpBB Convert bbPress

add this to function.php in your template file

function fix_topicslug() {

global $bbdb;

$get_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE topic_slug='' ");

foreach( $get_topics as $get_topic ) {

$slug_fix = bb_slug_sanitize( wp_specialchars_decode($get_topic->topic_title));

$topic_id = $get_topic->topic_id;

$bbdb->query("UPDATE $bbdb->topics SET topic_slug= '$slug_fix' WHERE topic_id = '$topic_id' ;");

}

}

and echo fix_topicslug in header. cek your database, and dont forget to remove the above code if you already finish.

my problem now the post_position is broken after convert to bbpress (all post is position 1) any fix ?

[zaerl]

Is it even supposed to show the WordPress users inside bbPress?

Yes it is.

I tell you what I have done. I have bbPress and WordPress on the same database and both have table prefixes. The blog is on my-domain.com/blog. The BBS is in my-domain.com/forum

On forum/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php:

1) the role map is key master, administrator, member, member, member.

2) WordPress URL is my-domain.com/blog, WordPress Blog is my-domain.com/blog.

3) Cookie salt “auth” valid, no Cookie salt “secure auth”, Cookie salt “logged in” valid.

4) AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY and others set on (bb-config/wp-config).php and the NONCE_KEY <=> BB_NONCE_KEY

5) Table prefix set to the WordPress table prefix. Usually wp_

6) No advanced settings

On /blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress-integration-admin

1) bbPress URL = my-domain.com/forum/. Your plugin URL = nothing. WordPress type = WordPress.

2) Manual Cookie Settings tells me define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); which is defined in both config files (on top of those)

My wp-config.php:

<?php



define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );



define('DB_NAME', '...');

define('DB_USER', '...');

define('DB_PASSWORD', '...');

define('DB_HOST', '...');

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');



define('AUTH_KEY', '...');

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '...');

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', '...');

define('NONCE_KEY', '...');



$table_prefix  = 'my_wordpress_table_prefix_';



if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');



require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); ?>

my bb-config.php:

<?php



define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );



define('BBDB_NAME', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_USER', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');



define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_NONCE_KEY', 'same as wordpress');



$table_prefix  = 'my_bbpress_table_prefix_';

Automattic is not owner.

bbPress – open-source and they just (see site): “contribute to a number of non-profit and Open Source projects”.

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

[Gautam Gupta]

Automattic is a company which owns all these projects (WordPress etc) – http://automattic.com/

And Sam had already made a new design for this forum a while ago but has not been implemented yet – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sneak-peek-at-bbpressorg-20

[jurasiks]

i checked 2 hours ago whois, sent message to Matt email with my question and sent message to his Facebook page.

If they don’t want to participate in developing of bbPress – they can give us (community) this opportunity.

If they don’t want that – we will just make fork.

p.s. if they give us chance – i will make new design for bbpress.org xD

@Yuri

Talk practically, as if automattic would give you the passwords. By the way I think this website is owned by matt, as he said in one of the IRC chats or this forum. You can also check here – http://www.pir.org/get/whois?domain=bbpress&Submit=Search while wordpress is owned by automattic – http://www.name.com/whois_result?type=domain&domain_name=wordpress.com&submit=+Submit+

[Olaf Lederer]

I’m wondering what happens if the mail() function is disabled during the setup?

Does bbpress send the password only by mail? or is the password visible for the admin on confirmation screen?

[jurasiks]

Better to get FTP and DB passwords for this site, because keymasters are not a solution.

[robalan]

Is it even supposed to show the WordPress users inside bbPress? I don’t even know—that’s how incomplete and fragmented the frigging instructions are. What a waste of time.

[chrishajer]

robalan, do you have another set of eyes there than can help you look at each item one at a time? Sometimes that’s all it takes. Something simple like pasting all 4 keys from WP to BB, but not changing the name of the constant (they need to be BB_$wordpresskeyname in bbPress, for example.) I’m not saying it’s that one thing, although it has been that thing for many people, but it could be something simple you skip past every time.

[zaerl]

I accept your opinion but at least in one case I discovered that the only way to achieve that result is to chmod 777 during the installation/integration/whatever and then switching back to 755 (on a very crap host). So I said what I said cause I tought that it can be a good hint. Apparently it is not (and it seems that my words are even funny) and it’s ok. Maybe it was a combination of factors and the 777 was completely useless.

I’m not a bbPress expert cause I have started to use this software a couple of weeks ago. I’m just trying to learn, help those who encountered my same problems and sharing my code.

Regards.

[chrishajer]

In my opinion, which I expressed, it’s ridiculous. Sorry you disagree, but I stand by my statement.

In any case, I don’t think it has anything to do with this integration problem. This is the most common symptom of integration that is just not working well. There are lots of little gotchas in doing it. I gave up on even trying long ago. It’s far too much to ask people to do to achieve simple user integration. For this reason, I support making bbPress a WordPress plugin. You solve this integration problem, theme integration and also deep/functional integration. With those types of support questions gone, I’ll be out of a job (in a good way.)

[gerikg]

[bobbycode]

Hi everybody,

bbpress fails to send out emails for my forum. Unfortunately, my host decided to disable mail() for all users.

I believe that is why I get the error:

“The email containing the password reset link could not be sent.”

Is there a work around? I know I have some plugins for my regular wordpress websites to get around this but wondering what to do for bbpress…

Tx,

Bobby

[zaerl]

It’s ridiculous if to integrate you have to set your directory permissions to 777. Some hosts won’t even let you do that.

It’s not “ridiculous.”

Anyway. Have you installed the WordPress bbPress Integration plugin?

[gerikg]

In the wordpress integration section of bbpress have you tried to enter the information like it was a foreign database?

[robalan]

gerikg:

I tried installing without checking the boxes and setting it up via the admin area and got it to pass through: http://cl.ly/Gip

However, it’s still not showing my WordPress users in bbPress: http://cl.ly/HI9 and I’m still having cookie sharing issues where it logs me out of whichever app I switch to from the other.
