I had installed it into /forums/bbpress. I got it up and running and pointed to that same address. I changed the address to /forums. I tried to move all of the files in bbpress into /forums, then I deleted the bbpress folder.

Any idea why it wouldn’t work.

Arun, I’ve integrated bbPress before using sessions, it was very easy.

Here is the code: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=54919#p54919

[johnhiler]

That 1col_fixed theme only has front-page.php, header.php, footer.php, and a few other miscellaenous files.

If bbPress can’t find a particular template file, it will pull the ones from the default theme, Kakumei (stored in /bb-templates/kakumei )

More here: https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

I would copy the missing files from kakumei over to your 1col_fixed theme, and then you can edit them right there. Good luck!

There was some discussion on sessions and bbPress here that may be helpful:

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, my website is using sessions for authentication and for passing values between pages.

Thanks!

Arun.

I’m trying to integrate bbpress into a custom WP theme I’ve made myself. I downloaded a theme that seemed perfect for me to start from, essentially a sandbox-esque theme. I got it from here (scroll down to 1col_fixed, there’s really no working direct link). I edited some files (header.php, footer.php, and front-page.php) and got EXACTLY the look I wanted. It looks fantastic with my site.

However as soon as I stray off the main page, it starts looking hairy. There are NO files to edit so that I can change the forum list view, the topic view, or any other page. The readme file says the following:

bbPress themes can be kept mean and lean. bbPress will pick up any missing mandatory

template files from the default template. Use this to keep your themes simple.

Yes, well, what if I need to customize THEM? Where do I get these files to edit them? Or would it, after all, be easier to start from a different theme?

Thanks… the sooner someone can get back to me on this, the better; I’m kind of on a tight schedule!

[bobbyh]

arun, FYI, bbPress doesn’t use “sessions” for authentication, it uses cookie-based authentication. Does your existing website use “sessions” for authentication?

[bobbyh]

Are you using bbpress 1.0? I hope not, because I wrote that that plugin for 0.8. Also, what version of WordPress are you using?

Also, what version of PHP do you use, is your bbpress integrated with WordPress (not “deep integration”, just “user table integration”. Basically, you have to tell me something about your setup for me to offer any help at all.

[arun.kumar]

Hi,

I am looking for developers to integrate bbPress sessions (authentication) with my website session. Some of the requirements to give you idea:

1. Disable user registration and user login in bbpress, as users session from main website will be used in the forum.

2. Install plugin to show recent posts.

Pay rate is highly attractive. If your coding skills are impressive, you also get a chance to mod PHP website and rewrite PHP files to standards.

If you are really strong in bbPress code, have excellent PHP, MySql, Apache and Linux skills (while Ruby is good to have), Please reach out to me at “arun.seattle@yahoo.com”.

Thanks!

Arun.

Haha, two people asked for this in one day after two years of no interest…

Here’s the download link: http://www.kosmosity.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/list_bookmarks.zip

To be honest, I haven’t looked at this in two years. It doesn’t have any dependencies on bbPress, though, so it should still work. Let me know!

[Kar-l]

You can use CyrNickName plugin (it’s fine with 1.01). I use it for UTF8 usernames. It’s PITA that bbPress does not support it by default.

First off, I would like to say hello this community. I have been a long time supporter of WordPress, and just recently started looking into bbPress. I am very impressed with the software so far, but would like to get a couple kinks ironed out.

I run my own gaming community at http://www.irefire.com. The main page is running off of the most recent version of WordPress. Our forums used to be PHPBB and a backup of them is at http://www.irefire.com/phpbb. Our new forums are running off of the most recent version of bbPress and are located at http://www.irefire.com/forums.

I converted our phpBB3 forums to bbPress (thanks to http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release) but I must have done something wrong since no one’s password worked. It wasn’t a big deal since the community doesn’t have too many members, and they could just reset it. Then I integrated the userbase with my WordPress blog, and all of a sudden the only users I have are the ones that were in WordPress.

All of my users are gone except for those that were in WordPress. Even then, one of them (Giraffe) has been assigned as the author of posts he never wrote. Any help as to how to get my users back and on the forums (even if they have to reset their passwords) but keep it integrated with my WordPress (so they only need one account to post on the forums and comment on the blog) would be great. If I need to just do a clean install of bbPress and try pulling over the phpBB passwords correctly this time, help would be appreciated in how to do that.

Thank you so much.

Edit: I would also like to say that I have access to and limited knowledge of phpMyAdmin. I can still see all my old phpbb users in the _pbb database. All my the wordpress users are in my _wp database. If I could just throw the users from one database to the other, would that force them as registered users on both wordpress and bbpress?

Hi all,

I’ve just installed BBpress and it seems that everthing works “ok”. I’m still surprised that I have to download a plugin for so many basic things… There are minimum things that could come along with the forum such as “smileys, avatars etc”… these are standards in all forums.

Anyway, I’m asking for help because I have tried to register a test account and it seems that no mail is being sent eventhough I get the “congragulation page” saying i will receive one within minutes. I’m having my forum hosted by Yahoo web host.

Does anyone have a clue where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks a lot for your help

[anti-sec]

@johnhiler Thank you , sorry but I hadn’t time to look properly at bbpress .

@_ck_ Be serene , I’m a white hat and infosecwriter . I’m here with my personal data , ua , ip , server and corporation. Really do u see bad intentions? Yes , I need to study 0.9.x sources to confirm a vulnerability and write an exploit ( if possible , code is really good ) , however I’m for full disclosure only after vendors report and fix.

So , don’t be nervous , and thank you for attention and support .

Regards.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I meant show code in the forums.

This is code, it's preformatted

so that I can     space things     out funny.

AdSense For bbPress seems to be broken with bb 1.0.1, but seeing as the plugin tells you to edit your theme, you’re probably going to be best off just putting in your codes into your theme template files.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

BuddyPress is WPMU so it’s not an ‘all three’ but a ‘both’ (there’s no extra code to log in to buddyPress vs logging into WPMU).

It sounds like the cookies being set for bbPress are ‘wrong’. Double check the Auths and salts, even going so far as to RE paste them into the bb-config. If the SALT doesn’t match, the cookies will be wrong. And do make sure that you log out, flush all your cookies (go in and delete them) and dump your cache. FireFox hangs onto logins in weird ways sometimes, and IE is worse.

You may also want to check the BuddyPress post on the issue.

Copy these from wp-config:

define('AUTH_KEY',        'blahblah');

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',   'blahblah');

define('NONCE_KEY',       'blahblah');

define('AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');

define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');

Put them in bb-config.php with BB_ in front:

define('BB_AUTH_KEY',        'blahblah');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'blahblah');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY',   'blahblah');

define('BB_NONCE_KEY',       'blahblah');

define('BB_AUTH_SALT', 'bliddyblah');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'bliddyblah');

Which is the best way to learn CSS? Any easy how to?

[kickerman360]

Ok

I integrated WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1 using the tutorial by Sam and it worked perfectly.

I did deep integration by adding:

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {

include_once( ‘/path/to/wp-load.php’ );

}

*with the correct path*

And again, worked. Now I want to load both stylesheets off WordPress and bbPress. Only WordPress loads it style sheet, bbPress returns a 404.

This didn’t happen with bbPress 0.9, anyone know why this happened?

Permissions are 755 on all files and folders.

[_ck_]

Do not integrate using iframes, you can’t bookmark anything or return to specific pages via RSS

Learn a little css and just make the header and footer match.

[lamentira]

I have discovered that there is a very easy way to integrate a BBPress forum inside of a WordPress blog. I havent found anyone in the forums doing it in this way so I will explain it here.

1. Asumed that you have instaled wordpress and bbpress, and you have integrated bbpress with wordpress following the steps showed in bbpress installation process.

2. You have to go to the administration pannel in your wordpress (wp-admin)

3. Create a page named Forum. Chose HTML and include the following code:

<iframe id=”forum” name=”forum” src=”http://your_url/bbpress_folder&#8221; frameborder=”0″ framespacing=”0″ scrolling=”auto” border=”0″ style=”width:925px; height:1000px; ” >

Sorry, your browser doens’t support iframe. Please upgrade your browsers.

</iframe>

replace the bold characters for the apropiate values in your web. The number in bold is the with of your blog. In that case (I use primepress theme) it is 925

4. Now we only have to add the widget to show the page, or like in my case, the theme shows all the pages in the blog as options in the header. We only have to remove the header and the footer of the forum.

5. In your bbpress directory go to bbtemplates and make a copy of kakumei directory. You could call it noheader directory and open it.

6. Open header.php and replace this

<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>

<div id=”wrapper”>

<div id=”main”>

<div class=”search” align=”right”>

<?php search_form(); ?>

</div>

<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

with this

<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>

<div id=”wrapper”>

<div id=”main”>

<div class=”search” align=”right”>

<?php search_form(); ?>

</div>

<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

7. Open footer.php and delete this section

<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>

<p><?php printf(__(‘%1$s is proudly powered by bbPress.’), bb_option(‘name’), “http://bbpress.org&#8221;) ?></p>

<!– If you like showing off the fact that your server rocks –>

<!– <p class=”showoff”>

<?php

global $bbdb;

printf(

__( ‘This page generated in %s seconds, using %d queries.’ ),

bb_number_format_i18n( bb_timer_stop(), 2 ),

bb_number_format_i18n( $bbdb->num_queries )

);

?>

</p> –>

</div>

<?php do_action(‘bb_foot’); ?>

8. Open style.css and delete this

#wrapper {

background: #fff url(‘images/page_header_tile.png’) repeat-x 0px -15px;

}

9. You can add the reference a bbpress.org in the wordpress footer.

Hope this help

Both bbPress and WordPress can be integrated so the login is shared.

With bbPress 0.9 you will need special plugins to use WP 2.7 or 2.8

bbPress 1.0 can share the login with WP 2.7 or 2.8 without plugins.

However many plugins do not yet work with 1.0, so keep that in mind.

Real names as an option is nice but I’d hate to see it mandatory as some countries are trying to do. My experience is that people either have manners or they don’t, real names, in person, online or otherwise won’t stop rude people much. The problem is once your real name is online, your employer or in the USA your health insurance can use anything you say against you, no matter how innocent it might be.

But that doesn’t change the fact you should be able to use your native characters in bbPress and WordPress if you wish

I’m curious if the user login plugin above will also allow you to use your name with the login and not just the Display Name.

Note that bbPress 1.0 also allows you to login via your email address once you are registered. There is a plugin for 0.9 that does the same thing.

[Göran]

Thank you for fast and helpful answer. I have seen display names mentioned before but I did not understand how to use them. I now found I can change my display name in my profile and chose my full name or parts of it as display name.

I have not yet tried to integrate a WordPress web site with a bbPress forum. Is it now possible to let users log in once to both? Or at least use the same user name and password for both? Can the display name option be used in both?

[_ck_]

If you are using bbPress 1.0, you can use a display name instead of your user login name, and the display name can be anything in the UTF8 character set.

There is also a workaround for bbPress 0.9 that might also work on 1.0 that removes all restrictions for the user login. It’s not been well tested to my knowledge but apparently works. I’ll try to find it for you.

Here it is, try this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19037

[Göran]

I have been looking forward to the release of bbPress 1.0 since I thought that users at last would be able to use usernames with diacritic characters like my own name Göran. To my disappointment this is not so. I installed bbPress 1.0.1 and when trying to register as a user with the name Göran it was suggested (in Swedish) that I chose the name Gran instead.

Please suggest a solution! This is a major drawback for a simple and useful forum. It must concern a lot of forums with users that have names that not conform to English spelling.

I have raised this question with earlier versions of bbPress but never recieved any useful solution. I run a forum where I have to tell users that they cannot use their real names. Other Swedish forums do the same. Please help!
