Hi Chris,

I’ve actually made a plugin that makes theme integration between BBpress and WordPress an absolute breeze (one click!), but it used to require one of my customized baseline theme’s.

Last week I converted it to work with any standard BBpress installation but alas hit some bugs in the BBpress core. I have posted about them, but have had no reply yet. You can find the post here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/overwriting-template-functions

Basically all of my original customized themes have a far more usable div nesting in the header and footer, so that it matched 3 of the most common wordpress theme’s (standard, sandboz, K2); thus anyone loading up an integrated BBpress would see their own website styling/menus etc. While not 100% accurate, it saved me a great deal of time when customising.

But then last week i converted this into a much better plugin. It reads the directory of the wordpress theme you are using and automatically outputs the WordPress theme’s header and footer files with the necessary BBpress code injected. It effectively encapsulates your BBpress forum inside wordpress pages for seemlesss moving around (basically like simpleforums).

But the whole thing’s on pause until we can get answer to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/overwriting-template-functions . On a side note, as someone who is attempting to build plugins for BBpress, getting answers to questions like these to help development is really difficult, and the standard answer of “read other plugins that’s how i learnt” really doesn’t help when you come up against something new. Maybe we should have a plugin developer section (as the current plugin section has become a request section)?

I need to have two domains pointing at the same bbPress setup each with a different template.

Should I setup two installations and point them both at the same database. Can you even do that?

Any ideas?

Hi All,

Here’s my situation…

I have installed 3 instances of bbPress on one WordPress blog. I want to keep them separate in case I need to scrap one – but I’d like to make them so if someone creates an account on one they are logged into all.

I currently have them sharing cookies but not a database.

What should my next step be?

Thanks

_ck_,

I might be missing something here –

I just installed bbPress (0.9.0.4) on a different site and still get the same message with instant password. I don’t have bbPress and WordPress integrated.

What could I be doing wrong?

Here’s the link – just started building it live yesterday so not much action yet…

There is no simple theme integration solution that I am aware of. Because bbPress is in a state of flux, many people are saving their energy for developing for it once 1.0 stable comes out.

You need to create a database first, then supply that database name to the installer. In addition, you will need a database user, password and maybe host name.

This information comes from the company that hosts your website. If they allow you to set up a database, somewhere on that page or near that page will show the database name, user name, password and maybe host.

> 3, I don’t choose the Show Advanced Settings (default), it is still stuck step 1.

You probably need to do this, but first you need to get the host name from your website host.

> It is always (There was a problem connection to the database you specified.

> Please check the settings, then try again.)

I am going to guess this is because you have not entered all the proper information, or you entered incorrect information. Your host may have to help you with some of these details.

> Is it terrible to install it?

No, not once you have all the correct details. If you can’t tell bbPress how to connect to your database, you’re going to be stuck right there until you get some help.

I’m using WordPress 2.7.1 and just installed the latest alpha of bbpress. Looking around I see lots of very old chatter about Themepress being the best solution for sharing a theme between the two products.. but it doesn’t seem to be available/work anymore.

So what’s the latest? I’m going to make the assumption that someone picked up on themepress’s work and has come up with a solution to integrate WordPress and Bbpress themes. What’s the latest and greatest?

Best,

Jason

Thanks, Chrishajer.

More question:

1, Do I create database first before running install.php? Both I try ( no database to install and after create database to install), it doesn’t work.

2, I can’t find the path where is I created database save in, so I entered localhost in the Database Host. I really don’t understand what is the database host and search it in internet, is it belong to company? I use Mysql 5.0.45 . and bbpress-0.9.0.4 . How can find the path about my database in Linux.

3, I don’t choose the Show Advanced Settings (default), it is still stuck step 1.

It is always (There was a problem connection to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.)

Is it terrible to install it?

How about replacing the bb_mail() function?

I take some days to install the bbpress forum software and still can’t pass step 1.

I have checked many topics at “install”, “installation” and “config.php” etc. in FORUMS and try it.

After read these topics, I was confused.

1. If I only need forum and don’t need blog. Do I need install WordPress?

2. Do I need to fill the Show Advanced Setting in step 1? I checked the bb-config-sample.php file, it prompt “If you are installing for the first time, leave them here.”

WP and bbPress are not integrated.

Registration is not required on my WP blog, so it does not send any emails at all.

We used to use some Perl classes with previous versions of bbPress engine to send emails, but after upgrading, we did not managed to configure them. So I want to see if there are any other ways to send emails.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I see you have WP on your site as well. Does it send emails when users register?

Do you have bbPress integrated with WP?

What version of bbPress are you running?

[dvdvideosoft]

Yes, it is just for sending emails from my server.

It is not spam. Try to register on my forum http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/forums/index.php and you will not receive the registration email.

[andrew-stacey]

I’ve now uploaded a plugin for LaTeX support to the plugin page here at bbPress.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bblatex/

[chrishajer]

It should not require any configuration. Is it just not sending email from your server?

With thousands of posts in your forum, is this just spam or do you really have a problem with registration emails being sent?

Now I got an extra headache, my WP widget column disappeared.

I’m switching back waiting suggestions.

update: sorry, it was a wicked weather widget blockng sidebar, not PHP5 extention, but bbpress install problem remains

[dvdvideosoft]

I just do not know where to read about it.

[dolver]

Cool — thanks for the ideas folks. The solutions seem a little out of my league. It is not a huge deal though. That functionality isn’t completely necessary.

[McDot]

Can this plugin be downloaded anywhere right now?

Any plans to update this plugin for the current version of bbPress?

This works for me!!

It’s a great script forum!

I’ve made some cusmotization, i can give you the url to see!

[adeboy]

This is a great example of integration, login with WP and use BBPress for the profile and then log out through BBPress. I’m trying to copy the setup myself as it works well. If you ever read this then any info on your method would be very useful such as what plugins you use

[chrishajer]

Where did the automatic part come from?

I imagine you could create a script to create a forum automatically when there is a new movie posted, but this is not something that is built in to bbPress? This would be some custom stuff you’d need to do. It would be pretty neat.

For the older versions of bbPress, there was bbSync https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/ which would create a new topic in the forum for every WordPress post (I believe that’s how it worked.) You could do something similar (but create new forums for every new movie.

[chrishajer]

Sam, I think they mentioned “NOT for WP”.

[chrishajer]

To integrate 0.9.* with WordPress 2.5 and later, you should read this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17409

That post has a lot of good information. I agree the documentation needs to be better.
