Hello,
I have a WordPress installation with BBpress and I would like to use an external WordPress Authentication to use username and password from another Mysql DB.
Do you know any easy way to do it that will be compatible with bbPress???
Thanks!
James
To have access to bbPress functions from WordPress, you need to include bbPress inside WordPress. Then you can put that link wherever you want using bbPress functions. Read here:
http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/
Find bb-load.php in that page.
So long as it’s in a separate folder from WordPress, you should be fine. You don’t want them in the same folder.
Try turning off permalinks in the admin. My guess is they’re not supported in your current configuration. If that works, and you can view everything, then you just need to configure permalinks.

but how to display the admin menu (admin link) in the header of my wordpress, when i’m connected to bbpress?
thanks 
I think the WordPress user registration functions are more mature than bbPress. Maybe you could use that somehow?
I never knew that page was there so I never tried to access it directly. When I access it in 0.9.0.2 or alpha (r1637) I get no information as well, just the heading
“IP Information
Last 30 posts”
but no data. My guess is I don’t understand how it works, or it’s broken. Can someone explain or show what it’s supposed to display?
I guess my earlier idea about a plugin is already handled by bbPress, but it’s just not working.
My site currently does not have a user management system where people can register etc. I’m looking for a system to integrate that I can just piggyback off of and access the users table to do my own development.
Would bbPress be a good fit here? I played around with the code a little bit and I just included “bb-load.php” and I was able call functions like ” bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ )” without actually displaying anything related to the forum.
The only downside is that it added about .2 seconds to my average php render times.
Gives errors on the forum and topic .php pages.

@sam:
That’s what i say to my users, but some of them just don’t get it … for them it’s much easier to just add text into the Reply form than click “edit”.

Another plugin i need (probably will implement this in two or three weeks) is “Private Discussions”, a plugin to replace Private Messaging. Instead of private messages, two users can have a private discussion. Hopefully, the plugin will need only a few template tweaks and no additional files in the bbPress root folder.
It should work in a similar way to Vanilla’s Whispers, but without whispers in a public discussion.
Here is how to correctly install Avatar Upload.
The “Additional Info” is not too detailed.
Here is the instructions on how to get the plugin (currently) on your bbPress site:
1. Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory.
2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section.
3. Follow the file movement instructions:
In the “additional-files” folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere.
- Move the entire “avatars/” folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the “default.png” inside.)
- Move the “avatar-upload.php” to the bbPress root directory.
- Move the “avatar.php” (inside the “my-templates” folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move “my-templates/avatar.php” to “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/” (So it is like “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php”.)
I hope this helps someone 
Interesting – never noticed that before. You might want to log in and file a bug at trac.bbress.org.
The alpha release looks all different though. That line is no longer present and there are many other options on the profile page.
When I use my keymaster account, and try to edit a user, there’s a part of the administration section that says, “Allow this user to” but there’s no form, text box or anything else to fill in after it. This line appears between “User Type” and “Custom Title”.
So what’s the point of the “Allow this user to” line? Looking at the code, it’s supposed to be for specifying specific user capabilities (like whether they can add posts, edit posts etc.) but it doesn’t seem to be fully functional yet. Is this expected?
If it helps I have the latest bbpress version, it’s 0.9.0.2.
Thanks.
in my forum?
Se http://dino.cows.se/malte/bbpress/ and about this forum text. Then you get what i mean.
How can i get å,ä and ö to work in bbpress?

Please help.

I think this is the fourth time I’ve heard about this now. I have no idea what’s causing it. I think we need a new tag for it.

Do you have access to server logs? Maybe something is being logged there.
With a password failure, you should get the “Wrong Password” screen. But that’s not happening. It’s almost like the password is good but for some reason, it still thinks you didn’t log in.
I tried from the failed password screen, the “you must log in to post” screen and even a different browser. I can’t seem to get it to work. Maybe there will be something logged several times from all my attempts (my IP right now is 75.22.31.202). I even tried a password reset and I couldn’t log in with the new password either.
This is integrated with WordPress? What version for both packages?
And, in your case, since this was sudden, what could possibly have changed that caused this? New software for bbPress or WordPress, or possibly something got updated on the server?
Suddenly, my forum stopped allowing anyone to log in. It simply redirects to the front page.
I recently upgraded from an early bbPress 1.0 alpha to the newest one, but the problem was happening before (it was on and off).
Now, nobody can get in.
What can I do to fix this?
http://forums.llamaslayers.net/ is the URL.
I like the overall look and feel of the forum, feels very complete. I do think there is too little contrast between colors. That light blue is hard to work with. Check this:

What version bbPress are you using? Do you have access to error logs? Maybe you have a problem in a template that is erroring out and causing the blank screen after you post.
I made a test post and I did indeed get stuck on bb-post.php, but my post made it through (and can be deleted now, since it was just a test).
Is there not a solution for this problem?
I can see it has been fixed in the bbPress forum.
What’s version WP-MU compatible with bbpress 0.9?
I used version 1.5.1, but still does not work. View link:

Thanks
Can you post a link to your forum?
Also, WordPress 2.6 won’t integrate well with bbPress 0.9.0.2. The logins won’t work on both the blog and the forum at the same time. But that’s not why you have this problem.
What directory structure did you use to install the forum? Is it in a sub-folder of the WordPress folder?
