There are only minor changes from bbPress 0.9 templates to 1.0 templates – you will just not have a few minor features that are new in 1.0 with a bbPress 0.9 template. You might have to make only a couple of minor adjustments after upgrading.

However the reverse is not true – a 1.0 template will not work with 0.9 – it breaks a great deal of backward compatibility.

@trent –

That’s how the plugins operate. WP user is created when logged in w/Facebook, so when used with an integrated bbPress, the cookie would carry over, and the user should too.

Integrating Facebook Connect w/ bbPress or WordPress, IMO, is incredibly more significant than OpenID ever was. Most of my users had no idea what it was when we used it for logins, didn’t think the redirect was safe, and thought it was way more work than needed, but when we put Facebook Connect up, registrations and comments went up. It’s easier to tell someone that they can login using something they use frequently as opposed to explaining how/what OpenID is. Facebook seems more usable.

Just an addition that there apparently are some subtle problem with some of my plugins even on 1.0a6

I intend to try to fix things up to at least 1.0a6 but any bug particular to an alpha is low priority.

Can posts to multiple blogs on an WPMU site be visible as topics on a common bbPress forum?

I’m looking for software that enables users to organize their work in their own blogs , but have each of their blog posts also be displayed as a new topics in a common forum. Does bbPress and MU work together this way, or does bbPress only create forums that are related to a single blog?

I’m not a WP or PHP developer, and have been looking for this feature on any platform. Thank you for you help.

One thing which I liked of Vanilla forum is the smooth ability for any user to add any number of custom label/value pairs into his/her personal profile.

This is nice as anyone willing to list any custom information like links to twitter, blogs, flickr, home address, phone number, age, chat, birthday, sex, whatever, can do it without effort, and the interface is kept really clean and smart.

Is there anything the like in bbpress, which I couldn’t yet find, please?

[chrishajer]

You can use the “Admin can post anything” plugin to allow certain roles to post HTML.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

Not sure what version you’re using, and what version this will work with.

[chrishajer]

@mzimmers – no, it will not work with WordPress; it’s a bbPress plugin. There are other plugins available for WordPress, but only this one for bbPress as far as I know.

[marcoapaulo]

Hi

As said in the title, can I use HTML code in the posts I made in bbpress? I don’t want to show the code itself, I want to use code to insert, for example, tables and that sort of thing.

Thanks in advance

[deadlyhifi]

This looks great. I was very confused why WPMU doesn’t supply a list of numbers in the cookie like WP2.7 does. It was causing me to not be able to log into WPMU…

I will give this a go. Thanks.

Hi there; I’m new to bbPress and uploaded the platform to my server yesterday. I’m trying to find some decent templates but, in the meantime, I’ve noticed that Firefox (my regular browser) is having issues displaying Kakumei correctly. It looks fine in IE. Does anyone else have the same problem? Do you know how to resolve it?

Finally, if you know of a bbPress theme that looks like Copyblogger’s WordPress theme, please let me know!

Cheers,

Helen

Ipstenu is right when he says: “the other thing to do is re-replace all your AUTH/SECURE etc keys in BBpress with the ones from WP. ALL of them. Every last one.”

Even though I followed the video exactly, my define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’ was missing a in the middle of the string (even though I had copied the whole string from ‘ to ‘ before. So apparently at 14:00 in the video, when you save the settings, bbPress (can) screw up the BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY that you put in, when saving it to the actual cfg file.

The spammers figured out how to defeat the old Human Test so I updated it:

and I will be updating it again later this month to make it even harder

I tried for a little while to figure out how they were doing it and realized they are just counting CSS markers. I also tried to find the right people in Google to talk to about this to no avail.

I think they would worry about blackhat SEOs manipulating this so they aren’t giving details.

bbPress clearly gives such meta info at the start of each topic, so unless someone radically changes their templates, it’s already in there.

I share my solution here :

[netcompetency]

Ehlo all,

i just want to share a solution for BBPress 1.0 Alpha 6 – WordPress MU 2.7 cookie integration — or a hack. My problem is that after installation of WPMU and BBPress, i can not make a single sign on : to make a user log in to BBPress can access WordPress without another login and a user log in to WordPress can access BBPress without another login.

I just use Cookie integration with WordPress installed at

/home/usr1/myweb

And bbpress at

/home/usr2/myweb/bbpress

After Googling i found hint about cookie domain, SECRET KEY etc, but it does not work …

When i check the cookie, the cookie from BBPress is appended with some words for example :

wordpress_logged_in_170v36454

meanwhile the cookie for wordpress is simply

wordpress_logged_in

I then change a line of code at bb-settings.php from

define(‘BB_HASH’, $bb->wp_cookies_integrated ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb->uri));

to

define(‘BB_HASH’, ”);

Somehow IT WORK !

Thanks for your reply!

The post you linked to was talking about including bbPress into WordPress, which is the opposite of what I’m looking to do. I have the CSS and template files edited, and everything is in the correct spot and doesn’t work too slowly. The only problem is those few lines of CSS for my WordPress theme aren’t included on bbPress pages.

If anyone could help me out with this, I’d be eternally grateful!

When I view my cookies with Firefox it shows that they are setting the exact same cookie. They both set the cookie under the same site and even the same name. When I log in with bbPress it sets another cookie with the same name as the WordPress cookie. I need help thanks!

Hi,

I have integrated WordPress and bbPress. They both share the same table for users. I can login in to a user in the database from both WordPress and bbPress. SO they are correctly sharing the same user table. However, when I login as a user for the blog and then click on the forum then click to post in the forum it asks me to log in. I imagine it has something to do with cookies. I have gone through the docs on integration and the post by _CK_ but nothing has made it work yet.

Please help me identify the problem. If you want I can post the config files for both WordPress and bbPress.

[sig183]

awesome – thanks for the replies!

the other thing i considered was perhaps there is a hack to get 2.7 (which looks and feels a whole lot better than 2.5 for me) working with the 0.9 series of bbpress? as far as i can see only the login cookies break when you integrate 2.7 with 0.9 and maybe this wouldn’t be too difficult to fix? perhaps easier than having to re-hash all the plugins that work great with 0.9 but break with the alpha?

thanks,

Dan

“UPDATE: These steps are valid for previous version of BBPress. May not work with WP 2.6.X and BBpress Alpha”

how to make sessions outside bbpress with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0 alpha6 ?
