Hi all,

I am running wpmu, buddypress along with bbpress. After deep intergration, Everything works well, except that the theme in my forum doesn’t look the way I want. I want it look like my own theme I use for buddypress, with the header, navi and footer. The Rest can still be adjusted with css, that’s not the big deal, I’d use the default bbpress theme as a base to do that.

I have tried ThemePresss, but it would mess up everything, not show the buddybar and the link to the forums. Is there any other way to make my forums look the way I want?

Thnx in advance,

pxlgirl.

I am having issues…

It installs fine, but it says:

So i look through the log and it all seems fine! I have just looked in the config file and edited it a little, so the auth salts matched my WP install.

Here is the log:

Can anyone help me. the forum can be found at: http://www.cnc4.co.uk/forum

But keeps redirecting to the installer!!

this version does not work correctrly on bbPress 0.9 branch. I get these PHP Warnings:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for bb_get_topic_tags(), called in /.../forum/my-plugins/bb-seo-tools.php on line 102 and defined in /.../forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1058

It’s throwing up 301 Moved errors so I’m wondering if it’s messed up your .htaccess file or something. Where did you install bbPress under? Also, what integration plugin? What version of bbPress did you install? By the way… your version of WordPress has a gaping security hole, UPGRADE!

[johnhiler]

In your config file in the root of your bbpress installation… you can edit it in any plaintext editor.

It looks something like this:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-config-sample.php

[donofthedead]

After loading and installing and settling up bbPress, including cookie integration, I cannot do anything on the associated/linked site. Archive listings work, the main page works. But for anything else it seems to go into this infinite redirect to itself. The site is http://www.zombiezonenews.com and it now no longer functions.

One catch, possibly, is that I did not load the integration plugin to WP first. (And now I can’t login or anything to activate it) I’m lost.

[wsokc]

At last its solved, I follow ur idea and its works.

First I upgrade it the old database to the latest bbpress, then I import it for each table manually, the tags located in bb_terms.

Thanks Anyway.

GoDaddy is a bit tricky… maybe this will help?

[JaiMami]

I have and I’ve called them twice to make sure. Not sure what else to do at this point? I know all that info is correct. Not sure what could be the problem. They will not support bbpress.

[JaiMami]

Help! I am using Go Daddy and I’ve already installed bbpress in the subdomain file of my directory. when I go to the site, it does show me the installer but when I enter the info it says there’s a problem connecting to the database. I’ve called Go Daddy to make sure that the database name and password I’m entering is correct. Can anyone help with this?

I just finished installing and integrating a setup of WordPress MU 2.8.4a, BuddyPress 1.0.3, and bbPress 1.0.2. Everything seems to have gone fine, except I cannot seem to access the Plugins page under the bbPress Admin menu. When I click it, it directs me to …/bb-admin/plugins.php which loads only a blank white page. Also, bbPress does not seem to recognize any themes placed in the “my-templates” folder and so I am forced to place them in the core “bb-templates” folder. Because of the plugins.php problem, I cannot tell if it will recognize plugins placed in the “my-plugins” folder, as I cannot access the plugins page to find out.

Does anyone know what could potentially be going on? Any suggestions for fixing it? Thanks in advance.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I have no clue on this. It might be a pain to do manually but if I were you I would peek into the bbPress’s code responsible for upgrading the database. Good luck!

[wsokc]

Well, its good Idea btw.. but I already walk 90% here, go back and do the upgrading will take time is there any manual way to do this ?

[gerikg]

ah, good to know!

[gerikg]

this is the code I use… (in post.php) hopefully that can lead you in the right track to finding the right code for your plugin.

<?php echo bp_core_get_avatar( get_post_author_id() ); ?>

[gerikg]

Ah, thank you for clearing that up.

I think you need more since there are sites providing buddypress+wordpress+bbpress

success with your free hosting site

[Fantastic Leman]

Most other forum softwares have websites providing free hosting. Why not bbPress? So, I decided to start a free hosting for bbPress myself.

If anyone is interested, please take a look at my brand-new website, yes, entirely run by bbPress itself !! :

http://hostpress.org/

I hope this posting won’t be misunderstood as a spam…

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’ve never quite understood the complaints about cookies and bbPress/WordPress integration… I set up a fresh copy of 1.0.2 locally with no prior knowledge and it worked fine (Windows test server). I FTPed it onto my live server and changed over the addresses and it works fine, apart from an odd quirk to do with bb-admin and where you log in. My cookies hold across either site, and for that matter to a MediaWiki install I have tied in to the same user set.

I quite understand the issue with cross-posting though. I’d fix it myself if I could work out how to initialise bbPress core cleanly inside WordPress, but that’s not possible in 1.0, so for now all you can use is plugins that do it by HTTP. Hopefully that will be integrated into core later on, but including bbPress as a WordPress plugin would be shoehorning something that was designed to be relatively standalone into a different structure and no doubt would over complicate things.

[Olaf Lederer]

Sure step over to SMF if you like to have:

– more spam

– more plugins (to get it working as a forum should work)

I never tried to use bbpress with wordpress, but I’m sure that both are able to work together (based on the same script)

[Marius-]

Yeah, I did. Anyway, I’m not gonna rush this. I’m gonna leave it up to the BBpress creators to work on Facebook connectivity for future versions.

Though as a user, it seems Facebook is more and more becoming a starting point for everyone, and can be a starting point for everything. “Log in with Facebook” can become a really powerfull tool, and so everything should work more with Facebooks several features, like groups and stuff.

Hi all,

sadly bbsync still doesn’t work AFAIK and so I’ll probably head with SMF.

At least SMF has this.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-to-smf-forum/

I wish bbpress where a truly “out of the box” solution with all the SMF features already built in.

I wish bbpress were a plugin, or in WP core, so that all I had to do was click a few buttons and it was there.

I wish this WP/forum plugin also had a bbsync blog-post-to-forum-post automatic function that I could just switch on, also WP core.

But it isn’t. BBpress seems to have all sorts of issues integrating with WP. I may as well just operate 2 separate databases, and keep the thing simple. Once users have logged in and accepted the cookies they don’t have to keep logging in anyway… they’re auto-logged in. If a WP post can be automatically shunted across to SMF as an SMF post with an automated link to that post, wow!

Hello All,

I have decided to make wpmu as the only point of registration on my website http://www.oraclepronet.com though I have buddypress and bbpress configured with cookie sharing (it works well). Since I use the same user table and since I have loaded the wp-blog-header.php in bb-config.php using require_once, isn’t it possible for me to display the avatars used by buddypress users in bbpress ?

I have tried modifying the top posters plugins to use the get_avatar($k->posterid,’32’) function and it displays a mystery man icon instead of the correct buddypress/wpmu thumbnail.

Too much to ask for? I really don’t want to allow users to add thumbnail from all places. (blog, user profile, bbpress profile)

Kindly help

Best Regards
