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?

[johnhiler]

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…

[mikemcd22]

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?

[stevebooth]

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?

[stevebooth]

$permalink is http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

[stevebooth]

How do I turn on the ‘bb_log’ing facility, and where does bbPress place the log file?

[jenz]

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.

[stevebooth]

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?

[daniellejosh]

i have all my WP contents installed in my root and also a folder called “forums” under my root… what should I do?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

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.

[arthaseo]

thanks

[jurasiks]

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

[jurasiks]

Thx again, will be that support in BBPress 1.0?

[Florian]

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?

[johnhiler]

Ah I see. That exact error has been reported by someone else using the latest bbPress together with Hidden forums… and they even suggested a patch to functions.bb-forums.php that they claim fixed the issue!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/when-there-is-no-forum-to-display-warning-is-generated

Or if I’m reading this correctly, you could also create a general folder and leave it as public… so that there’s always at least one forum, and it’s never null?

[johnhiler]

There are some discussions on the subject (and links to plugins) here:

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

Hope that helps!

[johnhiler]

Hey Chris! I guessed the url from Steve’s profile link… and was able to reproduce the issue he mentioned:

http://www.stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

I did notice one strange thing – when I signed up for an account and clicked on profile, I got a Redirect Loop error in Firefox:

http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=3

[thion]

Things like “tags” or “topic” can be translated directly within .htaccess file, as for the “post-name” – I think there’s no way to manipulate this yet, it is being sanitized deeply within bbPress core.

[johnhiler]

Ah shouldn’t have assumed it was htaccess. This is from an earlier post:

500 Internal Server Errors are usually either related to your .htaccess file or to your file permissions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/500-internal-server-error-1#post-13073

Here’s a number of reports from users who ran into similar issues – it was usually resolved by one of those two solutions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/500-error

Maybe try the permissions angle? Or if not, you could browse the 500-error tag for other possible approaches…
