If we use bbPress as a forum… and WordPress as a blog… and that we can add a way that the members can upload photos to their own profile… we would then almost get a social software/php script and that would be awsome !!!
I am not a coder (i’m a web designer) but I do know that it can be possible to create this plug in.
I just saw your next look, the bbpress 2.0 and with that plugin, a profile album, it would be it !!
Than maybe later another plugin for same thing, but videos (either upload or grab via youtube), but this can be invented later… photos first !!
Any chances ??? 
If someone can hack into my devserver that have no access to internet, the person is more than welcome to do it 
apbai: Nice, so everything is working now?
Interesting, my opinion would actually be the opposite.
bbPress is probably faster in a shared environment than the others (if tuned).
SMF and Vbulletin already take advantage of shared memory like eaccelerator/apc/xcache out of the box and have different levels of caching. Vbulletin is very bulky though.
The magic to bbPress is not performance, it has an “acceptable” rating in performance for 1.0, but what you can do with it and how quickly. You can customize bbPress like no other forum I’ve seen with quite a bit of ease, not just the look/theme but the actual functionality.
Hmm, well this all sounds promising’ish.
I asked Sam Bauers at WordCamp NZ how bbPress would compare speed-wise and server resource wise to other standard forum softwares like phpBB, SMF, vBulletin etc. He said that the others were probably faster on a shared hosting environment, but when mem-caching is running that bbPress leaps ahead in performance. Sam, perhaps you were referring to forums which REQUIRE mem-cache (ie: super large forums) running better on bbPress than the other softwares?
At any rate it sounds like for my purposes that I shouldn’t worry about these things too much and just stick with using it straight out of the box.
This user hacked permalinks to rewrite in a new way… his/her rewrite rules were written for the Isapi Rewrite filter, so maybe that would start you off in the right direction?

Good luck!
Your secret keys are supposed to be secret.
Hi. I just installed bbpress without any problems. I am running IIS 6.0 and got my host to install the IIRF Isapi Rewrite Filter, since I cannot use mod_rewrite.
Currently my permalink settings are “none”. If I try to change permalinks to “name based” using the bbpress Admin area, my threads no longer work and show up as 404 pages.
Is anyone familiar with how to use the IIRF Isapi Rewrite Filter to get permalinks working? Many thanks in advance.
I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around
For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.
This is the closest plugin that I’m aware of:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/members-online/
I don’t think it displays a total number of registered users though…
Wah, I just go ahead and added
those defines (without ‘BB_’ prefix, of course) in my wp-config.php and everything is working now!
Great find, man! Thank you!
Are you running WP or WP MU?
I couldn’t find those in my wp-admin/options.php…
Hmm, i think i´ve got it to work now, fingers crossed.
This is what i´ve changed from the original:
In bb-config.php:
define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘hej’);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘hej’);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘hej’);
define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘hej’);
— removed by moderator —
The last 3 is find in wp-admin/options.php
And:
$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;
You could write some Updates to make sure there was no ID overlap? That’s what I had to do when we were doing a similar user integration…
Actually – the user who wrote that last thread followed up with a fantastic list of exactly what steps s/he did, including specific update quries:

I’ve already considered the issues raised in that discussion. I looked at both user tables and it was clear that they would not line up without adding fields to the BBPress user table. There is also the problem of duplicate ids. Since almost all my users are forum members I could almost get away with dumping the WP user table and importing from BBPress. But then I would have the same problems discussed in that other thread. And I have members who have authored blog posts and forum entries.
Ha, you’re not alone. I had the same problem and just post my question a couple of hours ago!
Hi!
I always have problem with the integration of BBpress and WordPress, i have installed bbpress integration in wordpress and stuff but still it doesnt work!
The cookies kinda works, when i login to WP i get loggedout of BBpress and vice versa!
Is it because i install it on localhost or something?
Couple of pictures, can anyone spot whats wrong?

I really appreciate some feedback!
Right, I was not using WPMU. I did get the keys to match and also installed BBpress intergration plugin. There is only one line I was asked to add to wp-config.php:
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
I added that too. But somehow it just doesn’t work:-(
I’ve discovered that several of my plugins that have admin menus will not be able to access the admin menu in bbPress 0.9.0.7 and 1.0.3 because of the new admin menu security lockdown that was merged from WordPress 2.8.3 (essentially I didn’t go through the API for bbPress 0.8 compatibility).
I’ve now fixed what I can find but there will be other plugins with the same problem.
I highly recommend people learn how to install bbPress (and wordpress) via SVN, it makes life incredibly easy. You can switch between bbPress versions in a heartbeat, test new betas or jump back to the previous version effortlessly.
See this topic for more info:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress
and my note at the end on how to install SVN as a simple client instead of the whole darn thing.
Note that many plugins use their own tables to keep track of information based on topic_id and post_id because of the poor performance of bbpress meta (non-unique index and large string storage).
Currently there is nothing in the bbPress API that allows a plugin to hook to be notified when there is a topic_id or post_id change to an object. So all plugins in existence (and bbpress itself) assume this will never happen. The only thing bbPress accounts for is a forum_id change on a topic/post and I am not even certain there’s an API hook for that.
This means if you manually change a topic or post id, and you have plugins which store meta for those items, you’ve just broken your data in a way that cannot be rebuilt later. All the recounts in the world won’t fix the problem.
So keep that in mind. Things like attachments, polls, etc. are all affected by what you are talking about if those topics have such meta.
(this is also specifically why I tell people not to use the Move It plugin)
Did you….
-have the Cookies & Salt all the same? example BBpress side define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'ABCDEF'); WordPress side define('AUTH_KEY', 'ABCDEF');
-include $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; in bb-config.php before the ?>
-install BBpress intergration plugin to get the Hash and cookie information to paste in wp-config.php after the < ?php ?
-Paste the same cookie information you did on the step before in bb-config.php (without the Hash line) after the < ?php ?
-Enable Pinbacks, trackbacks, and XML-RPC on BOTH WPMU & BBpress?
You definitely want to use the same users table for both installs.
I’ve had to eventually integrate bbPress and WordPress users after not integrating them upfront, and you definitely want to do it sooner rather than later. It wasn’t fun, but it’s definitely doable.
There’s a good discussion on how to go about it here:
