Ipstenu – I have always installed bbPress and WordPress together like this, without a problem:
/var/www/example/wordpress/
accessible here http://www.example.com/
/var/www/example/wordpress/bbpress/
accessible here http://www.example.com/bbpress/
Are you suggesting NOT to install it like that?
There’s no existing way that I’m aware of to integrate 2.8 with bbPress 0.9. The two plugins which allow that sort of cookie integration were broken when WordPress changed their cookie method in 2.8…
3 days that I’m trying to find a solution and finaly it works ! (WordPress 2.8 + bbPress 1.0 rc3).
My solution, for a WordPress in the root and bbPress in a folder:
1) I don’t use the bbPress integration plugin for WordPress
2) Default wp-config and bb-config
3) Simply put AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY in the two config file (and double check that it’s the same)
4) Go to good ol phpMyAdmin and check that:
in bb_meta: in wp_options:
bb_auth_salt = auth_salt
bb_logged_in_salt = logged_in_salt
bb_nonce_salt = nonce_salt
@mikemcd22, sorry, only noticed your question today. I just do a Google search, eg., “php while loop” and tons of useful sites pop up. I don’t use one in particular. I haven’t gone very deep with it though, just enough to modify my theme templates to do things like the original question, add menus. Oh and the loop (which I didn’t need in the end) was to set a count for the number of recent posts which are displayed on the front page.
I doubt I’d use any other forum software now, as bbPress does everything I want, and is so easy to modify. If I can do it, I’d guess almost anyone can.
No, you should copy the folder from bb-templates to a new folder name in my-templates.
So you’d have /public_html/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei and also /public_html/bbpress/my-templates/ipstenu
But all you really need is to port over the files from kakumei that you want to change.
To make everything look like it’s one website is easiest to do with custom theming (or deep integration, but frankly that seems unreliable to me).
The site in question is using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/ – bbPress is not a plugin, so it cannot be integrated the same way.
You can also allow for anon posting, though I don’t know if you can make it so that people can invent their own nicks on the fly.
Can’t answer that last one, as I don’t know if anyone’s tried.
That was a great tutorial my friend, it seemed simple but I haven’t done it yet and before I do I have few questions.
Will WordPress 2.8 work with bbpress 0.9.0.5 or do I have to do WordPress 2.8 with bbpress 1.0-rc-3?
Thank you in advance.
To have everything looking like one website.. like example: http://www.bliuzonaktys.lt/?page_id=75
Maybe posible to have forum communication without registration,that people can write theirs nicknames?
And posible maybe to convert db form wp-forum to bbpress?
Hi all,
When I move my template files into bbpress/my-templates I get the following error when trying access my forum:
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/databasename/html/forums/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45
Is it normal for the template files to disappear in the bb-templates directory after you populate the my-templates directory with templates/themes?
Thanks
The only similar case I can see is an issue someone was having with IIS and REQUEST_URI… _ck_ wrote this plugin which resolved the issue:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/infinite-loops-on-posts-and-profiles#post-17396
It sounds like your situation is pretty different… but maybe worth looking at?
The official word is that non-ASCII characters won’t ever officially supported is usernames, for security reasons:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19400
Instead, display names in 1.0 can now be in unicode…
Integration works! I finally figured out that every time I accessed the options.php file on the WP side, it was kicking me out of bbpress admin. So every time I entered the Auth_Salt and the Logged_in_salt, they were not being retained. What a dummy! So simple… Hope this helps others noobs while the veteran techies are laughing at me!
onelove, you may need to hand-edit your sql statements. Can you paste in line 1064 of your sql file?
Okay. So bb_repermalink is being called with a $location of ‘front-page’. $_SERVER is returning the null string and $_SERVER is also empty.
This causes the code at line 784 to bb_load_template 404.php because the null $uri does not contain the $check string which, in my case is ‘/bbpress/’.
SO… my question now is… why in the *heck* is the REQUEST_URI null?
How do I turn on the ‘bb_log’ing facility, and where does bbPress place the log file?
With bbPress v 1 RC – I had the same need and ended up putting this into the topic-tags.php template – and it worked great:
<div id="topic-tags">
<?php if ( bb_get_topic_tags() ) : ?>
<?php foreach ( $tags as $tag ) : ?>
<?php if ($tag == end($tags)) 
>
<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a> <?php tag_remove_link(); ?>
<?php else >
<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a><?php tag_remove_link(); ?>,
<?php endif;?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<p><?php printf(__('No <a href="%s">tags</a> yet.'), bb_get_tag_page_link() ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php tag_form(); ?>
</div>
This added the commas appropriately.
Good job on guessing the link there, John! You’re exactly correct. I also get an infinite loop when I go to the one forum, i.e.: http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=1.
I’m wondering… could this possibly be due to not having any posts recorded for the forum?
i have all my WP contents installed in my root and also a folder called “forums” under my root… what should I do?
With the setup you describe, I think you have bbpress as a subfolder under your WP install, and I’m not sure that’s a good idea. But I have no proof. I always suggest having WP in a non root folder, due to htaccess weirdness.
very strange, i have converted phpbb 305 to bbpress 0905 with just one error in users (password filed was to short)
u installed some mods or etc that affect phpbb database?
and your phpbb db is large? better to convert on localhost
Thx again, will be that support in BBPress 1.0?
But how do I change the corresponding links? If I just translate “topic” in the htaccess, bbpress will understand the translated urls but still generate links with the original “topic”, wouldn’t it?
