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.

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??>>

That file is not there. Where did you put the tile1.png file?

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…

[thesportsfag]

perfect thanks

[gerikg]

I’m not an expert but this is what I noticed

WP-CONFIG

you had..

/** Braucht man für die Cookie-Integration von bbpres laut bbpress-integration */

/*define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘1111’ );*/

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.[gerikgtookout].de’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

when you’re using WPMU you need those when you’re using WP you just need the cookiepath. It was probably my fault because of my previous posts.

the cookiepath must be at the top for it to work, I don’t know why but it does. I added define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to the top

The keys I took from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt not https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ which they recommend. It has 8 keys. I also copied the same keys into the bb-config file but added “BB_” to the beginning.

BB-CONFIG

It looks like you were using an old config file (you must of upgraded?) I took the config file from the new version and just plugged in your information. I added define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to the top just like WP. I also added if (file_exists(‘../wp/wp-load.php’))

require_once(‘../wp/wp-load.php’); for deeper integration (for you to use WP functions in bbPress) which I think you were already, or trying to. I logged into your admin section in bbpress and notice you wrote “http://[gerikgtookout].de&#8221; as your wordpress URL but it should of been “http://[gerikgtookout].de/wp&#8221; clicked save and everything worked fine.

[gerikg]

The plugin just gives you information, once you get the information from it you can delete it.

[InvTrdr]

Doesn’t turning the Permalinks on and off often in bbPress or WP mess up your sitemap settings with the search engines?

Thanks you.

[InvTrdr]

How do I change the font size on the left of the Header area which says login, register, lost password etc.? Click on this link http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress to see the header. I could not find it in the CSS unless I missed something or it was set to default in the core files. I am using the default stock theme “Kakumei”.

Thank you.

[thesportsfag]

gerikg,

Thanks for the reply but I don’t think I made my question clear. Let me try again. I know that bbpress is not a plugin — I have it installed and it’s working just fine. One of the last steps in the directions is to upload a plugin with a file name bbpress-integration.php to your plugins directory. Now this file is still in my plugins folder with the ability of any MU user to activate or deactivate it. That doesn’t seem right.

[gerikg]

bbPress is not a plugin. It’s a stand alone. You can integrate it. To avoid headaches later make a folder in your WP and put the files in there. Call it whatever you think you want the url to be.

if you want domain.com/forums then call the folder forums when you put all the bbpress files in.

[thesportsfag]

In a WPMU install with bbpress as a subdirectory where should the file bbpress-integration.php be placed and how should it be activated (sitewide or just for the main blog)? As it stands now I followed the instructions and placed it in wp-content/plugins folder and activated it but it can be seen and activated by all other users in their respective dashboards. That doesn’t seem right/safe.

Thanks
