Hello!

I need a plugin, which can change header and footer in bbpress.

I create a social network. I use for it WordPress MU+Buddypress+bbpress.

I want to create a button “Home” in header of bbpress to unite WordPress MU and bbpress. And vice-versa I want to create a button “Forums” in header of Buddy Press.

I’m not a programmer and I don’t know php-code very well.

How can I do these changes?

Thanks

I think you’re actually trying to install buddypress and bbpress.

Make sure you’re looking in the right directory – it’s very easy to confuse “bp” with “bb”.

Yes, it’s an issue with bbPress. It’s an issue with WordPress too. It’s an issue that means you need more memory. The memory limit (see the WP Codex for more on WP_MEMORY_LIMIT) means you need to increase your blog’s PHP memory limit. Why they call it limit and not something that implies ‘adding’ I don’t know.

Which usually means your webhost hasn’t allocated enough to run WP/BB. Which means it’s actually an issue with your webhost that MAY be work-aroundable with manual tweaking.

While you’re welcome to try BB_MEMORY_LIMIT (which is the logical name for it), I don’t think it exists.

If you actually read the links I gave you, you’d know that PerishablePress (a fantastic resource) mentions you may be able to increase memory limits by editing wp-config.php like so:

<?php

@ini_set("memory_limit","16M");

Try that on bb-config.php and see how it works.

You’re probably going to need to dig into your php settings to see how much memory you’ve got right now, and how much you have to play with. You’ll need to savvy up on your error logs too, to see where it’s barfing.

Hello, everybody, I’ve searched around the forum but none of the mentioned solution works for me.

I’ve integrated bbpress into my WordPress in a subdirectory called forum, so it looks like mysite.com/forum/

I have created the .htaccess under this directory. Everything is working fine. All the forums, topics and tags could be viewed normally.

But there is always a 404 error in the breadcrumb which I used in WordPress.

Any help is warmly appreciated, thanks in advance.

[johnhiler]

It might be a file permissions issue?

I got this error message when trying to install:

“The key master could not be assigned. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.”

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Dear friends,

is not the fault of the webhost but bbpress. I want to know how to set its memory capacity. Usual procedure with WordPress (WP-MEMORY LIMIT).

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

No, it’s a known issue with WP and php memory, so I’m not surprised to see it crop up with bb as well.

Read here:

http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/02/19/improve-site-performance-by-increasing-php-memory-for-wordpress/

But seeing as you don’t know how to do that now, I suspect you’ll need to talk to your webhost for help. If you have a good host, they’ll help you out

[Olaf Lederer]

I guess it’s just an error from your webhost or you need a better webhost

[antoniobon]

How can I allocate more memory to php? Can you be more exhaustive?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You may need to allocate more memory to PHP, but IIRC there’s no way to do that via bbPress.

@sambauers Could you post that “trivial” code that allows for a BB login box in WP that will redirect back to the page after login?

This is where I think Shallow Integration has the upper hand. I have the bb login on the bb side, and the WP in-line login on the WP side, and no matter where my peeps log in from, there they are. All I do is redirect registration to the WP side, which kicks them back to the main WP page. And that’s okay, since 92% (I love stats) of visitors start there anyway.

As for includes on bbpress … Actually smilies, which are built into WP, would be nice, but they’d have to be easy to customize and expand. Some people like a million, some people like 10. Avatar upload isn’t going to happen unless Automattic dumps Gravatar. Quote ‘options’ would be a nice plugin.

[magickseeker]

Looks great! Thanks for the update.

I have a problem with memory bbPress 1.01 integrated with wordpress 2.84. I can install a limited number of plugin because the register.php bbpress’s become blank. How can I increase the ram in bb-setting?

[heartson]

Yes.

[Gautam]

a. Private message

b. Avatar upload

c. Memberlist

d. Quote option in topics

e. Smilies

I prefer them to be as plugins, not integrated within bbPress. If we need to update some part of code of those features, we could just update the plugin not the full forum board. The plugins can also be managed by individuals, not by the creators of bbPress.

You rarely have to do any template edits to use the plugins, all possible of add_action and add_filter

[DennisH]

@heartson is bb and phpbb in the same db?

[Marius-]

BBpress has worked out good so far. So I’m not buying that summary.

Several plugins works just by drag and drop, and thats how I like it, thats how it should be. Anything else can stay away from me.

Hello,

I would like to convert my phpbb3 forum to bbpress.

About 4000UU per day

About 100users online in one moment.

About 400 000 posts

What kind of server i need?

How much RAM memory?

What kind of procesor?

1.

Intel Atom mono 1.60 Ghz L2: 512KB, FSB: 533MHz

512 MB DDR 2

is it enough?

or?

2. Intel Atom Dual 2x 1.6 Ghz L2: 2x 512KB, FSB: 533MHz

1GB DDR2

You can use the HTML Purifier plugin and allow any other tag also:

Hey.

When using forum, suddenly shows an error 500 and takes from a few to dozen minutes. In error log is only

[error] [client *.*.*.*] File does not exist: /home/accounts_a/****/public_html/forum/gfx, referer: http://www.*******.net/. I try tu change chmod, upload forum again. .htaccess no exist – it does not work. Bbpress version 1.0.2. Is not integrated with WordPress.

Do you have some ideas?

[chandersbs]

I really love bbPress, but still wished some features existed by default. I know it’s doable via plugins, but default features are more cool, you can always turn it off. I really dislike the fact that some of the solutions I have seen on this forum, are related to “integrate your forum with WordPress, and use this plugin and it will work”, no, I don’t like that. bbPress should be able to do stuff on its own, without WordPress.

I don’t want to install WordPress for the sake of making some things work. I have been a WordPress user for so many years already, but still I refuse to do that. I have managed to convert my forum, which was originally SMF into bbPress (SMF > phpBB > bbPress), that was a lot of work, but I’m really happy I did that.

bbPress is by default very EMPTY, very very very empty. I was not used to a forum, with so less features and options. My users didn’t like it. I managed to add a lot of features via plugins. Now my users are a bit happy, I’m also very happy.

The best part I love so far is, that making changes not always is so difficult compared to SMF or phpBB. phpBB is the last forum software on this planet I’d want to use, OMG so difficult to make changes. SMF is one of the best out there, but has some limits due to their copyright system.

Some things I’d really love to see happening anytime very soon:

1. A codex page, with detailed instruction about the codes, just like its big brother WordPress has, at least a start, so we, the webmasters, can do more cool stuff

2. More features by default, such as:

a. Private message

b. Avatar upload

c. Memberlist

d. Quote option in topics

e. Smilies

These are some very basic options.

I’m sure bbPress will be one of the most professional forum software out there one day, it’s not so far yet, but I see it happen.

That’s why I’m a proud user of this software.

This plugin should allow you to restrict who can post into a particular forum:

I use it on one of my sites, and it works great!

@DennisH

If you have cookies and users integrated it is a pretty trivial amount of code required to force logins to occur on either the bbPress login page or the WordPress login page. It’s also possible to redirect the profile editing pages either way. If you want to list author posts from WordPress on the bbPress Profile page I can’t think of any solution for that except customising your theme with direct queries or using WordPress API if you are deep integrating.

The only way to get bbPress activity listed in WordPress is via “bbPress Live”. It’s currently broken in WP 2.8 due to widget changes there, but I am planning to fix it one of these days. Again, you could also write custom queries to the bbPress tables in your theme.
