You can certainly use another database for bbPress, but there’s no need for it, it makes integration more difficult, and creating a new database is not going to help with the original problem, which is just incorrect database connection details.

[royho]

Again I would still not install bbPress on the same DB because if I ever wanted to just get rid of bbPress, i simply can delete the whole DB without a care but if it is installed within WP DB, I would have to find each table that is associated with bbPress in your case is prefixed to forum1 and delete all those. For a total novice, it would not be easy to know that technically.

Every hosting account should have their own UI/utility for you to create a database and assign a user to. Godaddy will have that as well, just go into your control panel and you should find it. If memory serves me correctly they also use phpMyAdmin. But I would definitely have a knowledgeable person do it for you.

A Few errors after installing BBpress

There is no packaged release yet.

[jcriley]

@royho,

thanks for the info. i’m pretty novice at this & my first attempt at a forum. how do i create a new database? is it as simple as just creating a new folder to drop bbpress in? if so, do i do it inside the main wp database or adjacent to it?

[dboze]

I’ve seen some threads here and there that suggest its just a matter of using the header and footer code from your wordpress theme and applying it to your bbpress theme.

I’m a real disaster when it comes to doing a whole lot with code. I can only edit and rearrange it. I have no experience with writing any code.

I was wondering if there was anyone more experienced with performing this that I could send the needed wordpress theme files to and maybe I could receive some help with the process?

I am willing to pay for help if needed, I appreciate such generous help.

I recently changed the database host names across several sites. Nothing else changed except that.

I changed the database host names for all my wordpress installs in the config files, and they all work now.

However, simply changing the database host names in the config files for my bbpress installs did not work. I have 2 bbpress installs, and they both say “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I then tried to edit the host name where I found it in the database, and it still does not work.

My question is what have I done wrong? Why would changing the database host name make it not work when every other database connection works?

@jcriley,

Your error message immediately tells me that either your login credentials are not correct or your database does not exist or has a wrong name. Did you create the database first before you try to install it? And by the way, I wouldn’t enter “wordpress” if i were you because that could potentially wipe out your wordpress database. You should create a separate database for bbPress and integrate the two if you like.

[royho]

The only time I’ve seen this happen is when the integration was not done properly. You mentioned “sometimes”, so does that mean at times it works? Or are you seeing the symptoms of logging in on wordpress does not log you in on bbpress, you would have to log in again on bbpress and vice versa? Is that what you’re seeing?

[royho]

In case this may help you guys. Here is a video tutorial of how it is done quick and easy.

Respecto a la traducción al español de bbPress, yo había seguido las instruciones que dan en Ayuda WP http://ayudawordpress.com/como-integrar-bbpress-y-wordpress/ que suelen ser las usuales para la traducción de WP, es decir: colocar el archivo es_ES.mo a la carpeta “bb-includes/languages” Pero no funcionó. Luego de dar vueltas me di cuenta que en el archivo bb-config.php, precisamente antes de la última línea a modificar “define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘es_ES’ );” se encuentra la explicación, que no es otra cosa que incluir el archivo es_ES.mo en una carpeta o fichero de nombre my-languages a colocar en el archivo raiz de bbPress, (y no dentro de bb-includes). Así lo hice y funcionó de inmediato.

WP forums use bbpress. The Post form address is https://wordpress.org/support/bb-post.php for the Post button on WP forums. But for a guy who says Code is Poetry, it is really sad that he isn’t even allowing many people to participate actually. Last day I talked with a developer who has created many plugins for bbpress. He said Matt replied to his mail asking him to just stay on track, when he aksed about joining the bpress developers. Matt please shed some light. Should we continue using bbpress or do we need to find an alternative?

I’m sorry. I can’t edit my post anymore.

I want to see their username. Because i want to link to the wordpress profile page instead of the standard bbpress profile page. So it must be: example.com/members/username and not example.com/forum/profile/displayname.

I can edit the link in a file by myself, but i don’t know how to call the username (for the user that is logged in) and not the display name.

[chrishajer]

I think I posted that recently as well:

Hi Experts,

I need single signin plugin for intergration with bbpress. i done my website using codeignitor , i installed bbpress seprately. i need single signon plugin with other than wordpress.

I find most of saying for cookie and HTTP authentication problem

Please help find out my problem.

Some time it logged in partially. But i cant able to add new topic or reply the forum.

$user = bb_login($useremail,$useremail,”);

bb_safe_redirect( “/gbbpress/” );

but it logged and i cant able reply or add new topic.

Thank

Hello,

I want to know the name of the User that is logged in (the name that he is registered, so not viewed on the forum. Most of the time, people change there name to look it better for forum post’s and comments. But i want the real name.)

So not bb_get_current_user_info(‘name’); because then i get the name dat is displayed on the site.

Another thing is: Is there a plugin, or trick to let WordPress and BBPress more cooperate between them? Because, if i know logged in on wordpress, is must do exactly the same thing on bbpress. But i want logged in on wordpress and in the same time logged in in bbpress too. So then i don’t need to login twice on the same website.

Thanks,

Leander

Have a look at bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php you’ll see the functions function get_post_author( $post_id = 0 ) and function post_author_link( $post_id = 0 ).

You’ll need to recreate those in a plugin or in your functions file to use $user->user_login instead of $user->display_name.

Have a look at profile.php in your theme to see how it is generated there. But remember that on post.php you’ll have to pass in the ID of the post to get the username otherwise you’ll be fetching details on the logged in user rather post author.

I hope that helps, good luck.

An easier way would be to take away the ability to allow change of display name. Then it will default to username anyway. Have a look at topic/help-with-basic-command-to-add-new-profile-fields if that’s the avenue you want to take. If you do, don’t forget to set everyones ‘nicename’ back to what their username is.

I realize you (and others) have tried in the past o help with this but circumstances have changed since then which leads to a couple of new problems.

My host installed a brand spanking new quad xeon Linux server to take care of WP customers such as myself. As a result after getting everything moved over I decided to retry the bb-attachment plugin as this is one feature my members really want.

The good noews is that the upload now works great – the files go where they are suppose to http://screencast.com/t/OWRkYzFiM

and they get entered into the database correctly http://screencast.com/t/MzQzMTI0OG

The problems start now on the display and download.

TXT files are no problem as they download just fine.

PDF files display the icon correctly but when downloaded the files are corrupted

Images have two problems.

1. they don’t display as they are suppose to within the post.

2. as with the PDFs the images are also corrupted when downloaded.

Any suggestions of things to try would be greatly appreciated

Oh and the forums URL is http://www.winextra.com/forums/ and you can catch me in the #bbPress IRC channel most times

Thanks in advance
