Go to bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

Scroll down to Manual bbPress config file settings

Copy that stuff into your bb-config.php

The alpha of bbPress works with WordPress 2.7, but there is no target release date that I know of.

[chrishajer]

If you just want to find out about new posts being made, I think I would follow the RSS feed of either recent posts or recent topics. That way you could see when new things are being posted. You could set up and RSS to Email thing and have an email sent when there are new items in the RSS feed if you don’t care for RSS.

If you want to moderate new posts and new topics, before they’re visible, you might want the BB Moderation Hold plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/

That was good for older version of bbPress. Not sure if it still works.

[chrishajer]

If it’s essential to have a unified login, then you are going to need to use the alpha version of bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Are you trying to access a WordPress site or bbPress site? Did you integrate bbPress with WordPress?

[chrishajer]

I think the closest you get to that is tags. There is an RSS feed for each tag, but the concept of categories or keywords does not exist in bbPress AFAIK.

[ekitel]

I realized what I did wrong, I didn’t follow all the steps quite sequentially, I had to set the keys manually in bb-config.php, and copied the define statements directly out of wp-config.php without realizing the constant names were supposed to start with BB_

Anyway this was an upgrade of both WP and bbPress, as opposed to brand new installs, and they seem to be working pretty well so far…

[lasthero]

What is that?

[ekitel]

I have integration working in that I can also log into both with the same user name and password. No problem with posting to the forum.

I really need to be able to be automatically logged into bbpress when I’m logged into WordPress, but this doesn’t work at all. I followed all the steps also, but it’s still not working. Any ideas?

Another weird thing was that every time I tried to save new salts in the bbpress wordpress integration it would log me out of bbpress and not save. I added the info manually to the bb_topicmeta table and now I can change and save these values any time from the options interface

[level200]

Really!! when will bbpress and wordpress 2.7 work together? any updates available?

[Dwenaus]

I have to integrate some sort of forum in a WPMU 2.6.5 website that will be going live in 20 days. I’d love to use bbPress but not sure which version I should use. the stable .9 release (which as far as I can tell does not integrate well) or the 1.0 alpha and hope for the best. any advice would be apprecated. It is essential for us to have unified login, other features are less important. thanks in advance

get_header() is a wordpress function. If you try and load that within bbPress it will not know what to do with it, hence the error.

There are various discussion about this on this forum, but as yet I haven’t seen a successful way of loading wordpress function into bbPress.

[deadlyhifi]

Have a look at this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/share-solution-for-bbpress-10-alpha-6-wordpress-mu-27-cookie-integration

[12thharmonic]

First what I’m using

WPMU 2.7

BBPress 1.0alpha6

BuddyPress 1.02Beta

I watched the screencast, read multiple threads. I am working with a BBPress install that is well established.

WPMU http://headonradionetwork.com

BBPress http://headonradionetwork.com/forum

Once I completed the WordPress end of things, I was logged out of BBPress. I cannot log into BBPress with WP details or BBPress details. I can log into wordpress fine. Any login I try on BBPress tells me the username does not exist.

Any ideas? What other info would be useful?

Cheers Dears!

chrishajer, are you aware of the code in bbPress which takes the _wp table(required upon WordPress and bbPress integration) and somehow uses it in integration? If so, that might be a solution.

I found a a program which takes two MySql tables and makes a table consisting of those two tables contents. Here it’s description:

MySQL Join Two Tables Software 7.0 – Download

Combine (horizontally) two MySQL tables into one based on a common column of data from each table. The original two tables are not altered but a new table is created with the results.

Download here. Secure-order personal license for product here.

I don’t think this will work however because of the multiple references to wp_users, and bb_users.

I just thought of something, would it work if I changed apltest’s users table to be called wp_users(or bb_users)(along with changes all references to the users table in the APL code to wp_users)?

Thanks for your input.

It all went well until…

I can log into both as admin fine using the same username and password, so integration worked well, BUT, if I log into the forum I have to then log into the WP too, and vice versa, it doesnt do both at once.

I try and go to the post thats there to read it and it takes me to my WP 404 page.

The intial welcoming message that comes with BBPress is at http://1stangel.co.uk/art/friends/topic/your-first-topic

My WP is http://1stangel.co.uk/art and the BBPress is at http://1stangel.co.uk/art/friends

I followed the video really carefully

So two problems. One pretty major lol

[mikeumus]

Here are two links to the whole apltest database(2.jpg starts off down the table list where 1.jpg left off):

[chrishajer]

Can you take a screenshot of the listing of tables in the two databases, or at least the database you want to integrate with?

[mikeumus]

So I logged into phpMyAdmin and did not see anything that looked like table prefixes, but I’m new to this. I saw two databases and this is what one of their structures looked like:

Table Action Records1 Type Collation Size Overhead

benchmarks 6 MyISAM utf8_general_ci 2.3 KiB –

All I need to do is make it so that users don’t have to create two accounts to access the Tournaments section of the site.

Akismet seems extremely sensitive to boards posts with links in them, so many valid board comments get moderated into the spam queue on a regular basis. That’s fine – but what’s troubling is that the moderated users often post and repost their comment over and over, flooding my spam queue! They have no idea they’ve been moderated, because (as I understand it)… bbPress doesn’t give any message to the user when their post has been marked as spam/moderated.

This reposting by users makes it a lot more work to clear the spam queue. I have to unspam one of them, and then delete all the others. Is it possible to somehow improve the user experience when a post has been marked as spam, so that a user knows they’ve been moderated and that an admin will review their comment soon? That will at least get rid of most of the re-posts, which would be a godsend…

[chrishajer]

If your _config.php does not have a table prefix specified, that means it’s hard coded in the software, or there is none. (oscommerce is like that: no table prefix.) Can you look at the database with something like phpMyAdmin and see if there are tables with no prefix, or if there are some for this software all with the same prefix?

[mikeumus]

And how would you get that relationship?

More direction please.

I’m trying to link my wonderful WordPress blog and bbPress Forum(live @ http://www.l4dt.com/) with some wonderful tournament management code(testing, but live @ http://www.a-mnow.com) and have already quite shyed away and scared myself at the thought of trying to connect any two databases, so direction at all would be great.

Here’s what the tournament management _config.php file consists of:

_config.php

_______________________________________________________________________________________

<?php

//This is the new config file, almost all settings have been moved to the database.

//You no longer need to edit this file,

//unless the installer is not able to edit this file because of permissions.

//Just run the installer at /install/install.php

//Database server connection settings

$database = ‘mysql’;

$database = ‘apltest’;

$database = ‘?????????????????’;

$database = ‘apltest’;

$database = ‘p50mysql71.secureserver.net’;

//Do not change strict_mode, unless you know what you are doing

$database = -1;

?>

_______________________________________________________________________________________

^ There is no table specification!? wtf, but that’s not how you link databases, by giving them the same table prefix, right? But does it have to do with the table(s)?(I’d think so, but that’s all I can fathom)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the link to the site which gave me the tournament management code, “Autonomous LAN Party”:

http://www.nerdclub.net/alp/

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Any hint at making that relationship would be most excellent.

Thank you for your time and input.

The “example.org/forum-slug/topic-slug” type chaining is not on the cards, nor is completely removing “forum” or “topic” identifiers.

If anything, I think it dilutes SEO value to shove the forum slug into every single topic and it also causes problems for permalinks if the topic is moved between forums. Not to mention the fact that it can make topic URLs quite long.

Those two plugins that chrishajer has linked to will probably be incompatible with 1.0 alpha 7.

[yokima]

found out by myself..

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-5/

[bludshot]

bbPress 1.0-alpha-6

Yes I did “simple” integration with WordPress 2.7

Everything else seems to work fine on the site. I can view posts, edit posts, edit profiles of regular users.
