Okay, I’ve managed to get it working (kind of) by installing without integration and putting it in later from the admin panel.

Even though I defined the ‘user abilities’ mapping, so that Admin = Key Master, when I’m logged in as the WPMU site admin I cannot access the bbPress admin panel.

Any way I can change the database directly to give me access? bbPress is definitely using the WPMU userdata, I just need these role mapping to work!

Hi, I just started a bbpress forum. I have been messing with the php files (mostly guessing). My question is how do I change the Profile Fields, I don’t want people to put in their Occupation and whatnot, I want them to put their Name and maybe Date of Birth or something, where do I change this?

[chrishajer]

I would say they are completely different. You can download them for yourself from here:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/

Then compare.

This report sounds similar, although it sounds like they may have been using an earlier RC:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-mu-271-and-bbpress-10-rc-integration-problem

There was a solution linked from there … hope that points you in the right direction! There was also an integration guide someone created here:

http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress

Hope one of those helps!

What are the current installation instructions for bbPress, BuddyPress and WPMU?

Using the RC2 of bbPress, and the current trunk revision of WPMU, I go through the install and add the secret keys etc, define the primary WPMU blog (1), and get to the end but it asks me to create an admin account – it always used to use ‘admin’ automatically.

Am I doing something wrong? When I use the username ‘admin’ it brings an error that the user already exists….

Hello.

How is it with the language files to bbpress? Are there any changes in the 0.9.0.5 files to the current 1.0 (rc-2) beta?

[johnhiler]

Sometimes you can lose admin access during integration:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17417

Installing the plugin linked from that post usually restores access – try it out and let us know how it goes!

[thegiancarlo]

I managed to successfully install BBpress with wordpress integration. Every thing was going smoothly until both BBpress and WordPress repeatedly keep forgetting my password resulting in me having to reset it every time. Now i can’t get into the admin section of BBpress. I can only log in.

[johnhiler]

Hopefully we can leverage the WordPress theme directory code:

https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

In the mean time, do you know of any extra themes beside the ones on bbshowcase?

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

If we assemble a list of available themes, we’ll be all ready to go when the bbPress theme directory comes out eventually!

[Sam Bauers]

It probably won’t ever work. Try bbPress 1.0 instead (but you will need to export a trunk version from SVN).

[Arturo]

yes Sam i’ve always the www in front.

i’ve modified COOKIE_DOMAIN in wp-config with define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.site.com’); (without www but with .)

and in bb-config $bb->cookiedomain = ‘.site.com’;

I can login in bbpress and in WP when i try to login i’m redirected to the same page (wp-login)… so with this nothing change.

What else can I try?

Thanks!

I am trying to use the deep integration with Worpress 2.8 and bbpress 0.9.0.5. I have edited the bb-config.php file and when trying to load the page it is blank (white)

Here is what i have put in the bb-config file:

require_once(‘/home/graphics/public_html/wp-blog-header.php’);

Here is my URL: http://graphicsmania.org/bbpress/

[Sam Bauers]

Does your site always have “www” in front of it?

In any case, try changing the COOKIE_DOMAIN in WordPress like so (note the dot in front of the domain):

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.site.com');

Also enter this value in bb-config on the bbPress side:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.site.com';

Doing this will log you out, but you should be able to just log back in.

Single quotes are bad HTML anyway and shouldn’t be used…

Checking with trunk: If I add in a link: <a href="http://bbpress.org">This is a link</a> it works. If I edit that post, I get this: <a href="http://bbpress.org&quot;">This is a link</a> It gets even weirder as it goes on.

Why is this really familiar? I think we had this once before…

(tags working, pagination of users working. We’ll get there! )

Thank you for your continuing work and effort on bbPress.

I upgraded from RC1 to RC2 and something seems to be messy with the way additional markup is handled.

So far, users could use syntax like this:

<a href='http://bbpress.org'><img src='https://bbpress.org/test.jpg' /></a>

to link a picture for example.

Now with RC2, the ‘…’ upper commas aren’t recognized any longer but instead you’d have to write:

<a href=http://bbpress.org><img src=https://bbpress.org/test.jpg /></a>

and “…” quotation marks will be automatically added.

Now the problem is that once the user edits a comment with such markup later on, the now present “…” will again not be recognized and turned into broken code instead.

[Arturo]

i’ve upgraded wp from 2.7.1 to 2.8, checked all the key for the cookie and

AUTH_KEY in wp-config is the same of BB_AUTH_KEY in bb-config, the same for SECURE_AUTH_KEY – BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY,

LOGGED_IN_KEY – BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY – BB_NONCE_KEY.

i’ve installed and activated the plugin bbPress Integration 1.0-rc-2 configured with the url of bbpress (http://www.site.com/forums/) saved the option, copy/past in wp-config.php for the “code” in the box which is:

define(‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘e99db1aecc456188d6dc1ccc37528ff8’);

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.www.site.com’);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/wp-admin’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

i’m able to login in bbpress side, and i see the cookie wordpress_e99db1aecc456188d6dc1ccc37528ff8 for /forums/bb-admin, /forums/bb-plugins, /forums/my-plugins, /wp-admin, /wp-content/plugins and /.

i’ve other 2 cookies bb-user-settings-1 and bb-user-settings-time-1 for /forums/bb-admin.

when i try to go in wp-admin i’m slogged from wp and 2 new cookies appear, wordpress_test_cookie.

when i try to login in WP side i’m redirected to the login page every time.

if i remove the code generated by the Sam’s plugin i can login but i’m logged out from bbpress…

how resolve this problem? thanks for the help.

bbPress uses the display name by default for most functions where the user needs to be identified by name. Check how the default template does it.

The only time the user login is shown is if the user has no display name set.

[Florian]

I am searching for a way to show the author with his or full name instead of the username.

Is there a way to hack the template to do that? Or a plugin?

Alternatively, is there a way to make the full name the default setting for all users?

I already tried using the Use Display Name plugin, but it had no effect. Probably because it was written for an older version.

I’m using bbPress 1.0 RC2 integrated (not deep) with WPMU 2.7.1 and Buddypress.

[Sam Bauers]

We have bbPress physically located a subdirectory within WordPress.com (WPMU), you can call that “bbpress”. We do it this way because we point *.wordpress.com to the same host (well not exactly, but for the point of the example let’s say we do). Anyway, because on WordPress.com all blogs are given a subdomain, we need to intercept the forum subdomains and push them to the bbPress code before WPMU executes. That’s what this .htaccess code does.

You could do it without fewer rewrite rules if you didn’t use pretty permalinks.

[Sam Bauers]

I tend to use these terms and they are all potentially mutually exclusive, no one type of integration absolutely depends on the other although the first one generally requires the second one to work (99.9% of the time).

• Cookie integration – Sharing of login cookies with WordPress
• User database integration – Sharing of user data tables with WordPress
• Deep integration – Including the WordPress codebase (PHP) inside bbPress to allow use of WordPress functions inside bbPress

Help! I’m using bbPress 1.0 rc-2. I’ve completed the installation process. But after I’ve tried the first log in to changed my password I could not go back to dashboard. It has an error message like this.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_is_search() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/bb-includes/defaults.bb-filters.php on line 70

I’ve just downloaded bbpress 1.0 rc-2 today.

[johnhiler]

Was curious what the message said, so plugged it into Google Translate:

Title: Download bbPress 1RC2 Translation Castilian / Spanish

Now you can download the translation of bbPress to castallano Spanish version of the new 1RC2.

Found in the downloads section http://www.buddypress-es.com

Alongside this, you will find translations of BuddyPress 1.0.1 and WPMU 2.7.1

[Jose Conti]

Ya puedes descargarte la traducción de bbPress al castallano Español de la nueva version 1RC2.

La encontrarás en la sección descargas de http://www.buddypress-es.com

Junto a esta, encontraras las traducciones de WPMU 2.7.1 y BuddyPress 1.0.1

Thanks Sam. I’ve yet to try this, but I will tomorrow and will let you know how it works. I suspect probably better than I could ever do on my own.

My guess, is this works if bbPress is installed in a directory off the WordPress root called “/bbpress/” ?

Does this mean that some/all of the code above goes into the WordPress .htaccess file to prevent it from taking over, or does it go in the bbPress .htaccess file?
