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.

Have a look at this:

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

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.

[chrishajer]

1. What version bbPress did you install?

2. Did you integrated with WordPress? If so, what version?

3. Do other things work on your forum, like viewing existing topics? Trying to eliminate a permalink problem.

[bludshot]

I am the keymaster for my bbpress forum, and I want to change my email address, but it won’t let me.

When I am logged in as the keymaster, in the front end, when I go to “View your profile!”, the edit link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit&#8221; and if you click on that you get the error “User not found.”

Also, if I go to the admin area and click on Users, and then click Edit for the keymaster there, it also says User not found. (And the link there is http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit too)

For a normal user test account I made, the link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile/test/edit&#8221; and when you click it it lets you edit the profile.

Even if I type in the URL manually, filling in the keymaster’s username instead of test, it still says user not found.

Is this normal?

[johnhiler]

This would be huge for my forum… some of my best members are getting their posts regularly marked as spam, and it’s really upsetting for them!

Does anyone know if bbPress 1.0 has built-in support for this? Or if a plugin along these lines has been built in the past year?

[bludshot]

The rest of the problems I was able to fix by putting

<!–[if IE]>

<style type=”text/css”>

#thestyleswithproblemsinIE { yadda yadda…

and for IE6 I used this “_width: ” hack to solve another problem.

So yeah, all in all these are not BBpress issues, just css issues, but I originally posted because I’ll take help wherever I can get it. And my replies to the post are to help anyone in the future who may be searching. (Since I hate finding a post on the web of someone who had the same problem as me, and then seeing they replied saying “nevermind i figured it out” and not posting the solution they found!!)

[chrishajer]

There was this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts

If post_status 2 is a reply marked as spam, then that query would take care of it. But I think it could strand information in other tables that is related to that reply. I’m thinking specifically where the last reply is attributed to a topic or a user. Not sure what happens when you delete the reply that is referred to in another table.

I wasn’t able to get WP 2.7 + bbPress 0.9 in sync but when I tried WP 2.7 with bbPress alpha 6, I am able to get a sync but not fully.

Dividing this into 4 cases :

CASE I

Logged in from : WP

Reflected in other : Yes

Logged Out from : WP

Reflected in other : Yes

Complaints : None so far

CASE II

Logged in from : bbP

Reflected in other : Yes

Logged Out from : bbP

Reflected in other : Yes

Complaints : None so far

CASE III

Logged in from : WP

Reflected in other : Yes

Logged Out from : bbP

Reflected in other : No

Complaints : Unable to logout. Doesn’t reflect anywhere.

CASE IV

Logged in from : bbP

Reflected in other : Yes

Logged Out from : WP

Reflected in other : No

Complaints : Unable to logout. Doesn’t reflect anywhere.

I guess the only problem is that logging out from other than where you logged in doesn’t logged you out.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Let me try and get back. < WP 2.7 + bbPress 0.9 >

[yokima]

WP 2.7 and bbPress Alpha 6 works fine for me – no issues

[bludshot]

I’m trying to convert the theme “bbpress-forum” to look like my wordpress theme here: http://blueleafcanada.ca/

I’m having problems getting it to look right. You can see it here: http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/

It looks slightly different in FF than in IE. For FF, it has this strange problem where the top left logo is being “crushed down” a couple pixels. Also the 3 menu buttons are being crushed down too. I understand HTML and even have a pretty good understanding of CSS and the box model, but I have no idea what’s causing these problems and I can’t figure out how to fix them.

Also, the thin side bars have a gap in them under the header, which I’d like them not to have, and I just cannot figure out how to fix it.

If anyone has any ideas or expertise on this, I’m all ears.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum

I thought I read in these forums that the problem with eliminating “forum” or “topic” from the URI would make it hard for bbPress to know if you are talking about a slug or a forum. I can’t find that reply now though. I though the comment was from _ck_.

[chrishajer]

Update: although there are four topics on the front page with the same slug and same title (WP Thumbnails on BBPress – Integration), you can’t access any of them now. They all result in a 404.
