Hi all,

just wondering if anyone wants to help testing with a Hybrid & bbPress theme?

The wordpress end is a child theme of Hybrid, & bbPress end is based on Justin Tadlocks experimental bbPress theme.

I’ll fix up a few bugs tomorrow & let anyone who wants it have it in the next few days.

You can set the forum url in the wp admin & the link will get added to the page nav.

You can also set user registrations to be done by bbPress instead of WordPress, and profile links to the bbPress profile pages.

There is also an area in the bbPress admin to copy & paste your page_nav & cat_nav source, not the same as full integration, but a lot easier…

Feel free to try it out, register & post rubbish if you want.

Hi Gang, I see others have had difficult getting the installer to connect to the database. I do as well. here is my status:

1) I reviewed all my database name/user/password. confirmed against wp-config file. all good.

2) Database on same server as wordpress and bbpress install;

3) No bb-config file is created yet, so nothing to delete. There is a bb-config-sample which I have left in tact.

4) My host is Dreamhost; my wordpress blog running like a champ

5) bbpress folder installed in root directory of wordpress

Still won’t connect. Thoughts? THANK YOU

THANK YOU.

I have managed to get BBPress and WordPress Sync installed on my web site. That is, the sync plug in (the latest one) is installed and “working” (albiet not as I want it to be). There were a lot of check boxes and input involved to make the plugins (both on the BBPress side and the WordPress) work and see each other. In some of the check boxes I just clicked on them because I was unclear about what they meant.

The way I would like my WordPress to work is like this. When the user makes his comments about the blog, he is making them in the Forum. So the whole input field where he posts his responses to blogs are not there. Instead there is a link that takes him to the forum where responses are mirrored as responses to the blog.

If a user goes directly to the forum (an option I will allow). And makes a brand new discussion thread, it is not automatically posted in the blog and the responses to that post are not reflected in the blog as well.

There are lots of options on the Dashboard for setting up the plugins. Which options should I check and how do I customize the plugins such that my blog and forum behave like I want them to?

Mr. Refueled!

I started using your superbold template and am happy about its clean look. I did some modifications on it and this is how it looks on my site http://ciyak.net/

Great job and thanks again.

Sorry sorry sorry, I forgot to edit the configuration file. Thanks a lot for the new version! Looks great.

I created my-languages folder and copied it_IT language files into the folder. But no change has happened.

I was thinking about using vBulletin for this but it would be way too complicated, I’d rather have a light weight script I can hack about.

I want to create a forum split into completely seperate sections for each language (maybe 8 different ones). My first question is are sub forums allowed? I’ll presume so and continue. The main way I can think to achieve this is by using ‘parent’ forums with one for each language and then using the sub forum structure within those to create sperate forums using different language.

I also want each language to have it’s own sub domain.

I’ve never used bbPress before but I’m good with php so I’m sure I can figure something out but I’m just looking for feedback. I’m wondering if any other people know of any better solutions for achieving this..

The basic requirements are:

Different sub domain for each language

Seperate forum structure for each language

Global users for every language

Managed by same install

How can I make sure a footer stays all the way down at the bottom of a page? If you see this page http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/forum/trading-futures-and-forex-with-the-watts-system the footer is kind of halfway in the page leaving more space below it. Is it possible to push it down so it stays all the way at the bottom of a page?

Thank you.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Yes, in my case user statuses were preserved. I have done just basic testing so far but things are looking good for me and soon I’ll be doing it on the live site.

Thanks sambauers, I just filed a request – hope it will encourage someone there…

bbPress 0.9 can still be fastest if setup correctly.

I assure you I have more plugins running at once than virtually anyone.

And that webwait site is a very poor way of benchmarking things.

Your distance to each site also affects the load time

(especially since you are far overseas to continental USA).

brilliant, thanks! this is exactly what i needed.

all my users currently have ‘contributor’ status in WP (the blog that would become ‘1’) – do you know if they would retain this permission if i upgraded to MU?

i am hoping that everything would work the same way, and i’d just be adding the additional benefits that MU brings rather than changing existing permissions.

Hi just installed bbPress but i can’t acces the admin area. I’ve installed it and integrated it with a wordpress install using two different databases. Everything seemed fine after the install but i cant access the /bb-admin

[InvTrdr]

Sorry about that. I changed it to http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress/my-templates/kakumeicopy/images/color.png thinking it was conflicting with the existing wrapper name even though I added the “1” to the new name. When I add that to the CSS it does not work and even removes the old wrapper across the top and bottom.

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has created a successful bridge, integration, or tutorial that allow both scripts to use one user login. Even if this has been done on another helpdesk, i would like to know.

The forums didn’t let me post the link to the helpdesk.

Thank you in advance for answering my questions Smile.

For the people who can’t login. Here are the steps i have taken to make it work:

**

BBpress Part

**

all php files of bbpress

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

to

<?php get_header(); ?>

and

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

to

<?php get_footer(); ?>

:: bb-config.php::

add just before the ?> ending tag:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

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

}

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

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

}

**

WordPress Part

**

::wp-blog-header.php::

at the top add

<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

This should at least make the login part work and replace the header + footer and in some cases (depanding on your WP-Theme??) some css

http://test2.cell-systems.net/ <- thats the testing site. It;s 01:05 here now and I need to get into my bed. I hope this at least helps a bit as it seems most people who have it working 100% don’t want to share??>>

what do you say?

i’ve installed Viscacha and was pretty surprised how fast it was and all important plugins are already preinstalled.

i remember when bbpress was the fastest. Good old times.

Is there a way to fix this without switching the include to wp-load.php?

I’m also running Buddypress and the “Buddybar for bbpress” plugin. Changing the include from wp-blog-header.php to wp-load.php seems to break the “My Account” menu in the admin bar. It seems that switching to wp-load.php makes the bbpress end unable to read $bp->bp_nav, which causes the “My Account” not to appear.

I’m running WPMU 2.8.4a, Buddypress 1.0.3, and bbPress 1.0.2.

[SimonDorfman]

I was able to get to the admin area by removing the “s” in https at the beginning. Then I went to settings and tried to change the bbPress address (URL) from https://www.example.com/forums/ to http://www.example.com/forums/ but it doesn’t save the change. I might have to go in with phpmyadmin…
