I haven’t tested this, but at least one person was able to get this plugin to work:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/threaded-posts/

[tfab69fr]

Unfortunately this causes an error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _http_build_query() (previously declared in E:wampwwwrs_prod_nextforumbb-includesbackpressfunctions.compat.php:21) in E:wampwwwrs_prod_nextwp-includescompat.php on line 45

You could use create a new Role, and then restrict access to a specific forum only to people in that role or higher using Hidden Forums:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

You’d still need a hook into Paypal, if you wanted to automate purchasing of access to your premium forum… but you could take that code from some of the existing WordPress or WordPress MU programs out there?

[sumit1988]

i think i remember, that here in the forum are a lot of threads that says:

WP 2.7 + bbPress 0.xx = Nope!

WP < 2.7 +bbPress 0,xx = yes

and finally

WP 2.7 + bbpress 1.0 = yes

So, either you downgrade your WP or you use the alpha version of BBpress.

You shouldn’T get issues with login then…

[yokima]

Ah yes, I did have issues with logout as well. I did however combine it together with MediaWiki shared login so that’s pretty good for me so far..

[chrishajer]

Looks like the message is from this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/automated-forum-moderation

Line 40 of automated-forum-moderation.php

I wish that bbPress could incorporate the same type of threaded functionality that WordPress has, because I think it just works amazingly well.

[rboatright]

I know I’m commenting on an old thread, but there you go.

I -love- the threaded comments in Intense Debate, but it’s a blog-comments system not a forum.

I wish-to-heck that bbPress had threading, and if it did, we would switch from ID in about oh, 2 seconds.

[Sam Bauers]

That isn’t an error caused by core bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Shouldn’t that require_once be at the top of the wp-config.php file, right after the opening <?php ?

Yes, you want the hidden forums plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

> I’m also wondering if bbpress is easy to setup with Yahoo Small business hosting?

So long as the server has PHP and MySQL, and can send email, then it will be fine. If it can’t send email, then there are plugins to use an external SMTP server.

Additional: I noticed that the tags field is being pre-filled when I look at the Add A New Topic form that sits below the list of posts tagged with tag X. That’s great.

What remains is the behaviour of bbPress when sending it a URL …/tags/X where X does not exist yet. The Forum now decides to revert to the default query and shows all available tags. It could, like a Wiki, have chosen to show an empty Topic list with the pre-filled Add A New Topic form. That would make sense to me.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

In your bb-config:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_econome'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';

In your wp-config:

$table_prefix = 'wp_econome_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

Looks like you’re missing an underscore in bb-config.

Also try changing this on your bbconfig: $bb->sitecookiepath = '/starteconome/blog/';

I have linked up a bbPress Support Forum (i.e. with (un)resolved indicators) to a web application that it is supposed to support. The web application generates tags that are context-sensitive and links with these to the bbPress Forum, so users are one click away to do a …/tags/abcdef query to the Forum and hey presto, all posts concerning the application page come up.

If somebody has a problem, they can click another link and insert a new Topic post into the same Forum. However this comes up with blank title, post body, and tag fields.

It would be brilliant if there were a way to insert the new topic’s title, part of the post body, and the tag into the New Topic form. Nothing fancy, just three parameters on the #postform URL would do. These parameters are cleaned and stupidly inserted in the form fields, ready to be accepted by the user.

I have done all the above directions but still can’t seem to get anything to work. It is not detecting the cookie and having be already logged in to bbpress after wordpress login. I have been working on this for some time.

I have the exact same scenario that schmitt has at the beginning of this thread.

Please help me out here, I have posted several thread but no one has helped me or taken a look at my config files.

Here they are:

bb-config.php

<?php



// ** MySQL settings ** //

removed for security



define('BBDB_CHARSET', '');      // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');          // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here



// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase.  You won't have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated.  You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the "SECRET_KEY" in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '7k67k67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '67k67k76k67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', '67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'thisisone{crazy}sectret9084biugfhKey'); // Change this to a unique phrase.



// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!



// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BB_LANG', '');



/* Stop editing */



if ( !defined('BB_PATH') )

define('BB_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( BB_PATH . 'bb-settings.php' );



// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.



$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_econome';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.fabuso.com/starteconome/blog';  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'

thanks for the reply chris. I looked at the alpha 6 version and as far as I can tell it can be used as long as I don’t mind unsupported plugins and major changes in the eventual 1.0 release. any other hints or comments on this.

[tfab69fr]

Hi all

After upgrading:

WP2.5 -> 2.7

BBPress 0.9.4 -> 1.0 alpha 6

WP is running badly.

In order to get access to functions of BBPress, I have these lines at the end of wp-config.php:

if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');

Into the index.php of my WP theme, I wish to display the last topics of the forums, by doing:

<?php

$forums = get_forums();

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

for ($i=0;$i<3;$i++){

$topic = $topics[$i];

?>

" title="See the message of <?php topic_author();?>"><?php topic_title();

<?php } ?>

The display of the latest messages was working well and still working well after the upgrade, BUT WORDPRESS GETS INTO TROUBLE:

– the css style for the back admin of WP is not working

– the hooks into the plugins are not called anymore (add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘init_js’); where init_js() is never run)

– custom query vars are not detected into the url

Well, when I remove the require_once into the wp-config.php (see below), the trouble disappear.

//if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

//require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');

How to get it working with the bbpress function without trouble in WP ?

I think this is a very important point for the BBPress integration in WordPress

Thanks

I’m just wondering if bbpress has a few features that I require, I currently maintain a website that has wordpress and phpbb on it. The forums has a whack load of sub forums along with ones only visible by certain members, I’m wondering if it is possible to make sub forums along with special ranks along with moderator and admin?

Because currently trying to make my wordpress theme work on the forums is being a real pain, I’ve gotten it to work for firefox but in IE its a mess, so I’m hoping bbpress could be my salvation if you will.

I’m also wondering if bbpress is easy to setup with Yahoo Small business hosting? I also maintain another site in works that requires a way to post “ads” kind of like craigs list but can only be posted by an admin.

Help on any of these issues would be great.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Go to bb-admin/options-wordpress.php

Scroll down to Manual bbPress config file settings

Copy that stuff into your bb-config.php

[chrishajer]

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…
