Good job, I can’t even get bbPress to install within my wordpress directory so your ahead of me!

I got an error when I clicked on the only topic you have posted.

An un-related comment…I think your glare is upside down on your logo, the white should be on top, not bottom. I would recommend you glare the city and not the text…just being helpful. Site looks clean, great job!

I would like to put up a bounty for anyone who can make me a converter for my Xoops 2.0.14 (CBB 3.05) forums to bbPress. If anyone is interested in doing it I will reimburse them with the stipulation that I must test it to ensure it works and it must be freely available after the bounty is closed.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Thank you.

Hi Everyone!

Just got a WordPress and BBPress integrated site working. I adapted the default theme to make it match our custom WordPress theme. Comments appreciated!

Yay – got it! I removed the ‘fix nofollow & _blank’ code, and discovered how to add the _blank in by experimenting. bbPress wraps the URL in double quotes, so I used this;

Click here to get it.

Works fine. Just got to add the nofollow bit back in, though that affects forum spidering from what one of those other posts says. Well, at least I can open external links in a new window (or tab in Chrome). Thanks for the help!

I just re-added _ck_’s code to bb-tweaks;

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);

but it isn’t adding the rel=”nofollow”. No worries though, this is fine;

If it’s just you doing it and never a member, how about the “admin can post anything plugin”?

[amyhello]

What’s your secret, Atsutane?

I have the blog and forums kinda working — but when you go from the blog to the forum, it doesn’t carry over the password/username. It requries you to sign in again.

[chrishajer]

So you want links that are in replied to open in a _blank window? Just certain ones, or every one automatically? This would make any link posted in a reply open in a new windows (i.e. adds target="blank" to any link)”

Has anyone, including yourself, posted the procedure or a how to on how this was accomplished? I would say a good 50% of the currentl questions in the forum are related to integration of [WP|WPMU]/bbPress and possibly BuddyPress. If it wasn’t that difficult, there wouldn’t be so many questions. Please point me and everyone else to a definitive guide on how to pull it off, and we can resolve all these troubling integration issues.

Thank you.

[Atsutane]

I do mine perfectly with WP 2.7.1 and BBPress 1.0 RC1

[amyhello]

I read that. So did you ever get it to work?

So I downgrade my WP back to 2.7. Is there a way to do one sign in between 2.7 and BBPress 0.9.0.5 – without having to sign in again?

Sam mentioned that he might set up a codex for us to start documenting bbPress… so I thought it might be useful to round up useful links with info we could cleanup for a bbPress codex:

Sam, very interesting. Could you possibly quantify that a little more? I think it would be really helpful for folks who have growing forums and are thinking about how they will scale.

A rough user count and the infrastructure investment (servers) for each bbPress installation, for example.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

bbPress isn’t a plugin anyway. It’s a separate app.

[lukeishere]

The place I work have started using BBpress so I thought I’d give it a go on my doctor who fansite,

http://www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/forum/

I have to say it’s really easy to use and customize (like wordpress) so thank you to everyone involved!

[John James Jacoby]

This isn’t that difficult, and there are many sites that have been doing this for months now, including my own if you excuse my defense.

Glad to see someone is taking charge of this however. Best of luck to those guys.

[wordsmithbob]

I installed the bbPress plugin and that went fine using the auto install. (I have WP 2.7) Then I activated it and got a fatal error. I tried re-installing it but now it won’t install because it’s already in the directory. All I remember about the fatal error was that it concerned Line 72 and said something about Akismet. I’m pretty clueless about this stuff. My WordPress expert is incomunicado so I’m hanging out here on my own. Any ideas?

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Are you certain the bbPress files are in a subdirectory of your WordPress installation? Can you post a directory listing showing where the files are located?

[michael3185]

Cheers tinskii – I’ll try that right away. Atsutane’s idea worked great, but to have it automatically updated is really neat.

I’ve read in a lot of places that the Meta HTML tags are ignored by Google and others, but it’s got to be useful if some search engines still use them. Many thanks. I’ll even hack around with the code and see if I can learn anything. Though I think there’s something wrong with bbPress. Whenever I modify anything, it stops working (hehe).

[Arturo]

this is very good, my only problem with integration is shown the buddybar on forums page… i’m waiting the start of this project, thanks for the news chris!

[michael3185]

Ah, I think I’ll have to look at this idea again after some months of learning Javascript, bbPress and more CSS. Thanks for the help though!

[exchequer598]

I have WP-MU 2.7.1 + BuddyPress 1.0.1 installed and set up at http://huddle.inversekarma.in. I have copied bbPress 1.0 Rc-1 to http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums. Now when I try to navigate to this address, I get the “The page you were looking for was not found” error. Is there something wrong with my htaccess? Please help! Thanks

[johnhiler]

_ck_ prepared a list of the top 100 sites here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-top-100-april-2009-update

The largest site has 1.6mm posts; the site with the most users is wordpress.org, which has 7.5 million users.

Hope that helps!

[manishneo]

has anyone tested bbpress scalability in terms of no users,topics and comments

[Atsutane]

Actually u can archive that using JavaScript, CSS and Bbpress action hook. You can use CSS to hide the “Post Form” and make it visible back using JavaScript.

It kinda like using JavaScript to expand navigation menu. Well that should give you some idea

[chrishajer]

At WordCamp Chicago today I heard a presentation by Jeremy Wright of b5media about their integrated WPMU, BuddyPress and bbPress installation. Word is that the plugins that were used to accomplish the integrated logins and BuddyPress bar in the forums will be released in the near future at http://labs.b5media.com/

Right now, the only thing I can find about the installation is here:

I believe the user who will post this information is Terry J. Smith (registered here, but no posts yet.)
