Topic: WordPress deep integration
Sorry for yet another WordPress integration topic. I’m mainly interested in integrating my WordPress header with BBpress, and I’ve read just about every page on the topic. I tried the deep integration suggestions by editing my bb-config.php to include:
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
include_once( ‘../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );
}
I’ve also tried setting the path to wp-load.php instead with no luck. I keep getting an error saying that the file or directory does not exist. My WordPress and BBpress installs are in separate directories, but on the same level. Ex:
/home/wordpress
/home/bbpress
Is the path I have correct? Also, I went through every file in the template and changed:
<?php bb_get_header(); ?>
<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>
to
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Are there any other suggestions?
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that I’m using WordPress 2.7.1 with bbPress Alpha 1 and my website is http://www.rivenwow.net
Topic: WordPress 2.7 options
I’m setting up a new web site, which is running WordPress 2.7. (Older versions aren’t an option because keeping them up-to-date with security releases is much harder.) The site’s going to need a forum, and I would like to use bbPress if I can.
Has anyone worked out the details in running WordPress 2.7 with the current stable release of bbPress 0.9.x? I know that seamless integration won’t be ready until 1.0 is ready, and if the developers say don’t use it yet, I won’t use it.
But if I do try to go with the current bbPress, what are the gotchas? Is there any integration possible at all, or do I have to wall them off as completely separate products with separate logins? If my client wants integration now, do I have no choice but go with something else like SMF?
There is one additional concern I have, though:
I had integrated bbPress 0.9 with a WordPress 2.5 site about a year ago, and loved how well they fit together — you guys really did an awesome job. Then 2.6 came out, and the incredible delay in bb’s WordPress integration seriously burned us. The web site got hacked twice due to 2.5.x security flaws that seem to be fixed in 2.7, and in the end we finally had to bite the bullet, delete the forum (it wasn’t getting that much use anyway), and upgrade WordPress. While the purist in me would love to work with bbPress again once 1.0 is available, I can’t shake this suspicion that when some future version of WordPress comes out, those of us who are using bbPress would get burned again because the developers are simply more interested in an ambitious future release that’s more than a year out. While 1.0 looks like an incredible release, a point upgrade to address compatibility would have been a really, really nice thing.
(Sorry if this sounds like a rant — I just would really like to trust this product again!)
Thanks,
Richard
We are looking for a new bb-platform for our online community which has over 20.000 registered users and our phpBB has now 1,2 million posts on 52 forums. There are 30.000 new posts every month and about 1,2 million pageloads per week. In the rush hours there have been over 500 users online at the same time.
I find bbPress very interesting but will it be able to handle the load our bulletin board will have?
Hi all,
Lately, I been contemplating switching to BBpress from MyBB1.4 (http://www.mybboard.net/) . I am wondering if it is worth the move.
I compared the two here: http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/bbPress+MyBB
It seems to me that the main difference is there are more plugins I would have to install with BBpress whereas on MyBB they are included.
The reason I am considering the switch is because there seems to always be problems with plugins on MyBB, otherwise I am happy with it.
So I am wondering, how reliable/user-friendly is BBpress? More specifically, are plugins and other Mods relatively trouble-free to work with? and overall, is relatively easy to manage?
Of course, I understand this probably isn’t the best place to ask about this. I would appreciate it if you could keep your opinions as unbiased as possible.
On a similar note, is there anyone that switched over from MyBB? and if so, Why did you switch over?

Topic: Eblah SQL -> bbPress
Hello
I use Eblah SQL Beta 4 for a few forums and so far it hasn’t let me down over ANY of the major forum packages out there.
But I want a php forum for various reasons. Has anyone written a converter? Or is anyone willing to look at writing one?
You’d have a very greatful bloke right here if so.
