[Process of Illumination]

Hi, i read

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums. Users who register on your WordPress blog will have the appropriate role applied to their account when they first login to bbPress.”

but since i dont see the “Settings” area in my bbPress admin, how can i set it the proper way?

thank you very much,

the Process

Thanks Chris. My version of bbpress is the latest stable one at the time of writing: 0.9.0.4.

Just changed the secret key in both bb-config.php and wp-config.php to a 37 character long string of letters only, and we have success at http://www.atcv.net/bbpress . Awesome. Thanks v much.

But I get the following at my wordpress root http://www.atcv.net:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/philipsh/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

so perhaps my integration with WordPress remains flawed?

[swaymedia]

yeah but for 0.9 is the user WP roles/permissions intergrateed with the user/permissions of BBpress?

[chrishajer]

Best? Well, Alpha is not recommended for production sites since it’s in a state of flux. For stability, you want 0.9.

When is 1.0 going stable? I don’t think there’s an answer for that yet:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10

And re: RSS feeds for each forum: yes (any version.)

[chrishajer]

BTW, I was just looking at line 22 in bb-config.php in the trunk. You didn’t mention what version of bbPress you installed.

[chrishajer]

I think the problem is with the secret key from WordPress. There have been problems in the past with characters that are allowed by WordPress causing problems in bbPress. If you can change it in both places, I would do that.

[chrishajer]

My guess is you have a config error in your bb-config.php. Loading this page:

http://www.atcv.net/bbpress/

Gets me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/philipsh/public_html/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 22

Line 22 is around the database password. Maybe the previous line is not quoted properly or is missing the semi-colon. My guess is that you have an error in that file and if you fix that, things will probably be OK.

If you have a text editor with syntax highlighting, it will be easy to find the PHP syntax error that is causing this.

Actually it’s not broken, until Google crawls my page it won’t pick up any results. This forum has not been opened yet, a la no G bots taking a peak yet.

As for the looks, it’s fine that it may look like others out there. From what I’ve seen, in the niche’s I follow, bbPress is not common…at all. Therefore slight modifications of the usual theme seems to work.

Hi,

New WP install 2.7.1 at /.

Working just fine.

Downloaded bbpress and uploaded to /bbpress

Went to /bbpress in my browser and went through the install screens.

wp-config.php did not have a secret key, so generated one, inserted, and FTPd over.

Completed the installation.

But now I can’t see my wordpress at http://www.atcv.net, but get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/philipsh/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

Can’t access wp-admin either, get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_option() in /home/philipsh/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 21

Any and all help gratefully received.

Hi,

In the latest version of BBPress, are the user roles/permissions well intergrated with the WP roles/permissions.. ?

[John James Jacoby]

Your search is broken.

If I search for “yaris” it doesn’t find anything, even though the very first topic has Yaris in the title and body.

Otherwise to be honest, it looks exactly like every other bbPress theme out there. This isn’t meant to discourage you, quite the opposite actually. It’s a good start and it’s awesome to see another person catching the bbPress bug.

Welcome to the forum and to bbPress and keep it up!

[John James Jacoby]

Curious of bbPress will eventually support the idea of tapping into BuddyPress’s site-wide.css file located in the active BuddyPress theme directory?

I realize this would take a little bit of hard coded style foresight, and it might even be better set as a plugin for bbPress, but I think it would be a nice little added touch.

Thoughts?

[cldnails]

Thanks refueled, these would make some nice standalone bbPress sites.

[cldnails]

Yes, as mentioned Adsense is compatible, with the addition of code, with bbPress. Furthermore, I just finished integrating Google Search w/ Adsense into my forum, which I think will convert nicely once the forum is actually opened to users.

[cldnails]

This is my first jump into bbPress and to be honest, I like the included template. So, I went ahead and used the included and am in the process of modifying it so it fits my needs.

Grayline bbPress Forum is for my automotive blog The-Grayline.com, so the theme is slightly modified to mimic my wordpress blog.

Mods:

Integrated Google Search

CARP Feed Parser for Updates on Blog in Lower Corner

Swapped Latest Posts w/ Forum Sections

The RSS feed for the blog in the bottom right has been floated to the right, so that when logged in the visitors information is displayed to the left and it all looks pretty. Please let me know what you guys think.

There are known issues with BuddyPress, bbPress and translations, IIRC

[sumit1988]

which version of bbpress are you using exactly and which language do you want to have bbpress in?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-ican-i-integrate-my-bbpress-forum-into-my-wordpress-layout

[sumit1988]

sorry… the widget link thing sould be something like:

<a href="http://www.youdomain.com/forumpath/" target="_self">Visit my forums</a>

[bruinfelix]

I’ve installed this version of bbPress, and evrything works perfect

[sumit1988]

ok that avatar thing is an other concern. I think you should ask that question in the comments of the plugin itself or the plugin homepage or an extra topic in the plugins support forums.

To the theme thing.

Yes it’s my theme. I forgot to say: the navigation thing i mentioned is only usefull, when you use a self-made navigation like i do. If you use the wordpress sidebar to navigate through your site, you should use also the sidebar to link to your forums. E.g. you can do the following:

Go to you widget options in wp-admin, add a text-widget to you sidebar and write something like:

Visit my Forums

in the widget. Save and you’ll get a forum link in you sidebar.

I don’t know how to display the hole wp-sidebar in bbpress. I think thats a little bit more difficult. But you could write in your bbpress theme a link above the forums itself that links back to you wordpress.

In my opinion the easiest way to “integrate” the themes is, to use a self-made navigation.

Many wordpress themes use self-made navigations also.

Oh and i almost forgot. Do you know how to get the avatar uploader plugin to work? I can install it, but when i upload an image the image isn’t displayed. No matter which browser i use. I’ve tried to CMOD the “avatars” folder to both 666 and 777, but it still doesn’t work. And all the files are where they should be.

And is it possible to transfer avatar images from bbPress to WordPress, if so, how?

Any ideas?

[najkiie1]

Thanks.

So there is no way at all to make a plugin or something do it for you? That’s bad, but i’ll have to try

How do i do with the menu? I can’t link the menu to another page in wordpress. I can only link to pages in wordpress… how do i link it to the forum page, which doesn’t belong to wordpress..?

I must say you’ve (if its yours) done a very good job with your theme, and no i can’t see any difference between your blog and your forum, exept that the forum is moved like 5 more px to the left. Awesome job!

hi

of course it is. But not the way you think. You have to work around a little. I’ll explain:

check http://www.sumit-online.de/forum/

fully integrated with a navigation that links to my wordpress sites.

BUT:

This is not the wordpress theme! Maybe you can see a little difference in my head-picture between the forums page and the others.

You have to copy/recreate your wordpress theme in bbpress. bbpress uses the same theme system than wordpress. so you do a theme for bbpress that looks exactly like the wp ones. you also use the same navigation. Then i looks fully integrated like my bbpress. But it isnt really THAT integrated. it does the job…

and if you e.g. want to change a navigation menu or something other in you theme, you have to do it in BOTH! WP and bbPress theme.

hope you can figure it out now

[najkiie1]

The title might get you a little it confused. What i was trying to say was; how do i integrate my entire wordpress forum into my wordpress theme… i made an example image below

http://rapid-photo.com/uploads/15untitled.jpg

(forgot to add the footer on the image..)

So is there any way to do this? I noticed there is a “WordPress Integration” thing in the settings, but thats not what i’m looking for, right? That will just “transfer” members right?

I had some trouble with installing bbpress before, i couldn’t login as admin. I played around a bit with it and then i found out that i had to change the settings in “bb-config-sample.php”. I’ts a really good forum, i like it.

Thanks.
