@sambauers – Yep, I get that, thanks. I think where I’m coming from is that I am a long-time WordPress developer, and I have just had the need to create a forum, so I (almost automatically) chose bbPress, thinking that all the talk about integration would allow me to do some cross-platform things that I had in mind. I didn’t read far enough into the forums to discover that the “deep integration” only went one direction (bbPress->Wordpress), and now I’m way too far down the the path of developing this site to turn around, and I’m not sure I could get the interaction I wanted with anything else anyway. Any chance you’re updating the bbPress Live plugin for 2.8?

@johnhiler – Agreed about avoiding deep integration. Given what I now understand about how it works, I would prefer to avoid it entirely, merely pulling content between platforms. I actually can mod the Latest Discussion plugin, and that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. I kind of hate doing that because I forget later what I changed when I want to upgrade. Basically all I really need is a way to limit one of my forum’s topics and counts to those topics begun today (I have a “Today Only” forum to talk about topics for a single day). I have this working fine within bbPress, and what I wanted to do was simply filter the output of the Latest Discussion plugin like that from within my own plugin.

[johnhiler]

There’s rumors of a wiki-based codex coming up after bbPress 1.0 goes gold! Hopefully that should help with documentation…

This tag plugin looks somewhat similar to what you mentioned:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/list-tags/

But there are reports of bugs with it. I’m guessing the plugin only works in .8 and .9 versions – tags completely changed in version 1.0, so that may be the issue. Still, might be worth studying the code for inspiration!

[johnhiler]

legg-my-eggo – I totally agree that basic functionality should be easier to call between the two platforms! Pulling content back and forth between WordPress and bbPress… sharing header/footer/sidebar templates… that stuff should be a lot more seamless, and hopefully it will be over time.

Deep integration does have its own set of problems. _ck_ mentions two of them here:

Two huge strengths for stand-alone (simple) integration over deep integration are:

1. your forums can be still running even if your blog is temporarily down (or visa versa)

2. speed/performance – deep integration will crush a shared server if you get a surge in visitors

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-bbpress-on-wordpress-page-inside-the-blog#post-25353

Anyway my personal sense is that if you can avoid deep integration, you’re probably better off that way. But if you absolutely need it, it’s possible… but only in one direction. It’s up to WordPress to decide if they want to offer deep integration of bbPress – I guess some of us could post over at the WordPress forums and ask them for it?

What kind of filters are you looking to run on the Latest Discussion plugin? Maybe we can find a way to mod the plugin to be more flexible… and remove your need for deep integration!

[jconley]

I want to integrate my bbPress forum into the WordPress blog just like you have. Please tell me the steps you took to do this. My blog uses WordPress 2.8 and works great. I just downloaded bbPress 0.905, installed it, and it too is working great. I just want to marry the two.

Thanks

[Sam Bauers]

johnhiler nailed it and there’s nothing particularly hardline about my statement. It’s a matter of prioritising the features that bbPress supports and in turn the features that I support as the main developer of the software and the various community members support on this forum and in any future docs.

We could make bbPress do lots of things, some would stray not far from the expected feature set, like this. I’m just drawing the line, that’s all I’m saying.

[AndrewRich]

Oh, and I am using version 0.9.0.5 from the Download page.

[leggo-my-eggo]

Yeah, that makes some sense. However, there’s a conceptual problem here, right? Because the recommended structure is to install WordPress and then install bbPress as a subdirectory (say, /forums). Which works great, but then I’ve got a home page created by WordPress, and since the deep integration only works the other way around, no way to use any bbPress content on that home page.

I also tried using the Latest Discussion plugin, but I have a modification that I need to filter some of the output supplied by whatever functions output the discussion and forum lists, and that plugin does not include a filter which allows me to do what I need to do, so I was trying to find a way to use bbPress functions on my WordPress home page.

For “deep integration” to be really relevant, I have to have a way to include bbPress content within my WordPress pages, right? Or am I really thinking of this the wrong way?

[raheelsayeed]

oh sweet!.. that will work,

I wish there was some more documentation for native apis for BBpress.

I needed more information regarding the bbpress sql apis. im making another DB, but thought of using the native bbpress commands for it.

And is there a way i could get an extract of something displayed in the topics view page.

Like,

All topics listed contain the topic title and a small extract from the post with a “read more” tag.

Basically im looking to grab some other text from a different sql table.

[AndrewRich]

Hello all,

I’m seeing the same problem as reported in this older thread where after unzipping the bbPress archive on my server and hitting the default page, the “let’s get started” link doesn’t do anything. Per recommendation I’ve gathered PHP info from my server. With the minimal installation instructions, I don’t even know where to begin troubleshooting, so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Just wanted to follow up with this. I tried the integration again from scratch with the same config as above, using WordPress 2.8 and bbPress 1.0-rc-3, but with the 1.0-rc-3 version of the bbPress Integration plugin.

The integration worked flawlessly, no issues with the code that bbPress Integration outputted, I can log in and out of both bbPress and wordPress, and access both admin panels.

Thanks for all of your hard work Sam, bbPress 1.0 is looking great!

[johnhiler]

This is definitely related to the phpbb3 to bbPress conversion. The AUTO_INCREMENT gets set really high by the conversion script, to avoid userID conflicts.

Previous users have reported fixes here – hope one of these fixes work!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-id-999999999#post-5521

Please let us know how it goes.

[johnhiler]

Hey guys – there are different levels of integration between WordPress and bbPress (these definitions are from Sam):

* User database integration – Sharing of user data tables with WordPress

* Cookie integration – Sharing of login cookies with WordPress

* Deep integration – Including the WordPress codebase (PHP) inside bbPress to allow use of WordPress functions inside bbPress

bbPress supports all of these (although cookie integration between some versions wasn’t supported until user plugins were created fairly recently).

I think what was asked was reverse deep integration, so to speak? Where instead of normal deep integration (allowing you to call WordPress from inside of bbPress), it would work the other way around (where you could call bbPress from inside of WordPress).

I think that’s where Sam is drawing the line re: integration, although I could be misunderstanding. He’s definitely said recently that he’s supporting normal deep integration (allowing users to call WordPress functions from inside of bbPress), so all deep integration isn’t off the table. My guess would be that it’s easier for Sam to program bbPress to support WordPress… than to demand that WordPress engineers program in full deep integration for bbPress.

Incidentally, I pull bbPress discussions onto my WordPress using the Latest Discussion plugins and it works great!

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp/

[leggo-my-eggo]

Gotta say, that was not the answer I was expecting, since there are so many posts on these forums advising exactly that solution. I also am a little confused about why you would intentionally limit the interaction between these two–obviously intended to work together–apps, but I’m sure there are complexities here that I don’t understand, and I certainly understand needing to draw the line somewhere, especially at this early stage of development.

As for using bbPress Live, that’s what I initially tried to do, but it hasn’t been updated since October of last year, and doesn’t work with WordPress 2.8, so that’s not really an option. If it did work with 2.8 I would be more than happy to use it instead of including bbPress in WordPress, as it apparently provides all the functionality I would need. Any chance an update is on its way soon?

All I really need is the ability to pull the latest discussions list and the forums list into my WordPress home page. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Hello, find here (http://dev.xiligroup.com/?p=1029) in second chapter of post when I opened bbpress: a short example how to add favicon line without modifying basic header but by adding lines in functions.php of your theme.

Hope helpful…

After convertation from phpBB3 to BBpress 0.9.0.5 i delete fake users and change IDs, but when somebody registers now his new ID is 140x… where i can fix this?

i mean how to say to bbpress that i have only etc. 30 users, so next ID must be 31,32,33?

[berberama]

If you’re not coding bbPress to work nicely with WordPress, then it’s not going to become a well known and widely used platform. The statement “…I won’t be writing support for this into bbPress at all, even if someone patches it to work. I gotta draw the line on integration somewhere…” come across as hostile and petty – Potentially giving bbPress bad PR.

I’ve had nothing but hell trying to get this to work properly and when talking to PHP coders, every single one of them has told me not to use it (these are guys that code for a living). They’ve given me alternatives, when I asked why, they said there’s not a lot of support (that there should be more) and the fact that it does not play well with WordPress (when they suggest, given the origins of bbPress, it should).

This is unfortunate; and sad.

[Tim Carr]

Another heads up here to say no issues integrating WordPress 2.8 with bbPress 1.0 RC3, both on subdomains and www domain.

Installation process much clearer, and asks for the right info, meaning no need to edit config files after.

To anyone having issues with integration – as obvious as it sounds, clear all of your cookies once you’ve installed. I had a couple kicking around from bbPress 0.9, but once cleared and logged in on either the WordPress or bbPress side, everything was fine.

[lstelie]

God bless Ipstenu !!

Thanks to your bit of code I ended in integrating wp and bbpress something I failed from day 1..

Thanks a lot !!!

Luc

[Sam Bauers]

WordPress is not designed to play nice with bbPress loaded inside it in this fashion. It will probably break things (not just visual things). I won’t be writing support for this into bbPress at all, even if someone patches it to work. I gotta draw the line on integration somewhere. Try the bbPress Live plugin for WordPress and see if it doesn’t give you what you need.

[johnhiler]

You might want to check out this Mass Delete Users plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

I don’t think it supports a bozo selection, but it sure makes batch deleting users a lot easier!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/show-search-form-or-link-to-searchphp-on-home-page

The Super Search plugin (with Advanced Search options) appears at search.php, and will be linked from your search results page – as it is at ck’s demo site:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/search.php?search=test&advanced=0&exact=1&posts=1&highlight=1&users=0&located=0&forums%5B%5D=0&maxcount=9999999&age=999999&direction=0&sort=date&order=0

Hope that helps!

If you’d like to integrate the cookies across different domains, definitely install bbPress .9 and not 1.0! That Cross Cookie plugin doesn’t work with v 1.0…

Good luck!

Hi All,

I want to put an option like search text box option, like how the bb press forums has that option.

I installed this (Super search – http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/) plugin and activated as by your instructions, but I am not able to see any kind of search text box button enabled and visible on my main page of Forums.

I am intrested to see search option on my forum main page like as the bbpress forum page (http://bbpress.org/forums/).

Please help me with this. whether am I using the right plugin or do I have to do any modifications or do I need to install any other plugin.

Thanks,

-Vikram
