I only have one forum, so there is no point in BBPress giving me a seperate front page and Latest Disussions list. Is there an elegant way for me to integrate the sidebar into the forum listings page? I tried chopping up the templates but I can’t seem to get the code right.

Great video & very useful, but…

Followed the info with WPMU 2.7 & bbPress Alpha & ok except cookies not working… Logging into WP as admin I get the 3 bbPress cookies set (I do get others set as well – these are just examples):

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Then moving to bbPress I don’t get logged in. I can manually log in as admin (the db integration works fine) but if I look at the cookies set by bbPress they include:

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Despite the keys & salt between bbPress & WP being the same, the names & content of the above cookies are different between WP & bbPress.

So, looking at the above it’s not surprising the login between WP & bbPress isn’t successful. So, where did I go wrong or what is the problem?

Thanks.

If you have a config.php file in an directory above it, temporarily rename that config.php to x_config.php or some other name. Now complete the bbPress installation and then again rename x_config.php to config.php.

That solved my issue.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php_e-issue#post-16264

But there instead of wp-blog-header.php and wp-wp-blog-header-bb.php must be used wp-load.php and wp-load-bb.php files.

Hi again,

Very strange – it worked for a while, and then broke completly down. I then deleted the database-copy, made a new copy and installed bbPress again, and now it works, with the correct settings. As far as for now, I can’t say anything about what went wrong. But thanks for your replies!

What is the .mo file named?

[supreme87]

Hi all,

I have a problem with localization of forum.

/**

* bbPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

*

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

* language must be installed to a directory called “my-languages” in the root

* directory of bbPress. For example, install de.mo to “my-languages” and set

* BB_LANG to ‘de’ to enable German language support.

*/

define(‘BB_LANG’, ‘it_IT’);

I have edited the bb-config.php and made the directory called “my-languages” in the root directory of bbpress with inside my languages file, but i didn’t see any change.

I have make a deep integration with wp 2.7

Thanks

[webdevelopment]

so i guess i answered my own question… apparently you have to use the unstable “alpha” version of bbpress with the latest version of wordpress:

Download

[webdevelopment]

i have wordpress 2.7 and im in the middle of the bbpress forum installation, however bbpress is asking for a secret key:

WordPress cookie secret key:

put your unique phrase here

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

the problem is that since wordpress 2.6 there exists 3 secret keys for wordpress and bbpress is asking for just one and bbpress has the name of the variable wrong “SECRET_KEY”:

/define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

what should i do? i calso cant find which version of bbpress i have, is there a different version that i need?

[supreme87]

I have found the problem! When i have pasted the auth key etc in wp-config.php I have been pasted the BB_AUTH_KEY etc

Be sure that in wp-config.php there is that :

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘x’);

and not:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘x’);

[supreme87]

I have the same problem of cookies of previous version of alpha bbpress, with this 1.0.6

[chrishajer]

Where do you see “Hot Topics”? I see Hot Tags and Latest Discussions. Which one do you want to hide?

Yes, it’s possible. You need to find the section in your template that displays them, then just remove that section. For Latest Discussions, it’s in the template file front-page.php. Removing that whole section won’t hurt anything.

If you remove Hot Tags, you will have a big white space over there. After removing that from the template file, you might want to adjust the CSS to make the other part of the page wider so it uses the space where the tags used to be.

Basically, it’s all done in your template files. If you’re using the stock template, you should make a copy of that, then make your modifications there.

Hi all

I have the same problems with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0.6 alpha, if I login in wordpress it logout in bbpress and viceversa.

I have put in wp-config and bb-press the same auth key – secure key and logged in key

the salts too in installation of bbpress (i have take that from wp-admin/options)

and then i have added in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

and in the bb-config.php

// Start integration speedups

// WordPress database integration speedup

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_charset = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_collate = ”;

$bb->custom_user_table = ”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ”;

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = ‘wordpress_sec_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->admin_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-admin’;

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-plugins’;

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/my-plugins’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = ‘/wp-admin’;

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/wp-content/plugins’;

// End integration speedups

Any Solutions? Really Thanks

@chrishajer: Do you know if the next release of bbPress will have integration with the later WP versions? I wish I’d just kept my old installation. ):

[my-apartment-map]

So I’ve done some more integration of bb-press as the user backend of my site. I’m just posting if anyone in the future is interested in this type of integration and to see how I’ve done it.

I’ve added a Sign in or Register link to the header on every page on my site. I used the Thickbox library with jquery to produce those non obtrusive popups that don’t get blocked because they don’t create a new browser window. (http://www.myapartmentmap.com, Click on the “Sign in” link to see it)

I recreated the sign in form and post to the same URL as you would if you were signing into bbpress. I created a new hidden field called “loginSmall” that tells me if the user is logging in from the small box or the regular forum login. If I detect that the login is from the small box I redirect the user to a new page after the login. This new page closes the Thickbox popup and refreshes the current users page.

So in effect, the user can login from any page on my site without leaving the page. I still have a few small bugs to work out but overall it works pretty well. The biggest downside is that my registration page still looks a little like its the forum registration. I tried to dress it up to make it look like the site registration.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

[maxelmagic]

Righto, same as the title suggests, I was wondering if there is a way to either hide the Hot Topics section on bbpress, or if there is a way to get rid of it completely if there isn’t a way to hid em?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress did you try to install?

I’ve seen it before but I’ve figured out why it happens.

The bbPress 0.9* series is designed for integration with WordPress up to 2.5.1.

[chrishajer]

How about the “Approve User Registration” plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/

[elizawhat]

I’m having the same problem, but I’m using WP 2.6 and bbPress 0.9.0.4.

I installed and integrated bbPress with WP a month or so ago and everything went fine. I can’t get it working with a fresh installment.

[Michael Alexander Freund]

I’ve tried to install bbPress in a several different locations, but i always get an errormessage at Step4:

---

Installation failed! The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again. Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Database installation failed!!!

>>>>>> Halting installation!

---

I cleared the database tables also and retried to install. But with no success. We use PHP 5+ and MySQL 4.1 on Suse Linux. I also tried to chmod some directories. No success.

As i took a closer look at the code, i can report that the errors is thrown from class-install.php on line 1513: $alterations = bb_install(); after doing a print_r on the alterations array, i can see it has now values.

EDIT:

further debugging shows the following errors:

Key master could not be created!

Forum could not be created!

So it seems, that the forum couldn be created. If i create it manually. The frontend works. but when i try to login to the admin panel, i always get redirected to the frontend without an error.

maybe this could help…

Hi

This may sound like an odd thing to do, but I’m intending to adapt bbpress to enable members to self-register and upload articles for review, and only Admins see these posts. (Therefore, _ck_’s Hidden Forum and Attachments plugins are great, as are the Instant_Password & Human_Test).

Though to stream-line this further: when a person registers, they post/upload there article in an a Submissions forum, but I don’t want anyone else (apart from admins) to see this type of post.

Could the bozo setting be used? That is, when a person registers, there status is by default bozo, therefore no other registered users can see this post.

Can this work, and how to default a registered user as bozo?

thanks

[circuit]

has anyone got any further with this yet? i’m moving from vanilla to bbpress today and i’d really like to bring all the vanilla threads with me.

[John James Jacoby]

Using the method above, a new user registering in WordPress is given the proper role/capability in bbPress. So far this appears to be the best integration yet. I will of course do more testing, but so far so good!

Note: This also proves compatible with the WordPress “Register Plus” plugin.

[marcoapaulo]

Anyone?!
