Thanks for the tip. I’ve been trying to get this work too.

For the alpha version of bbPress there is this plugin that allows you to use an external SMTP server:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/

There’s also this for 0.8.x and 0.9.x versions of bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/trick-to-fix-some-email-problems-with-08x-plugins-on-09x

There was someone here who was just displaying the password on the screen too, but I can’t find that right now.

I’ve started a project to allow people to integrate apps like bbPress into existing Rails applications. From the README:

The Integration API is an Open Source project with the goal of making

it easy to integrate an existing Rails application with any number of

off-the-shelf apps, such as WordPress, Beast, PunBB, or Vanilla. The

focus is on enabling transparent single sign-on between the

applications.

The basic idea

---

The key idea is to add a web services API into the existing Rails

application, which allows one or more 3rd party apps to get the

information they need, when they need it. The API should be

configurable enough and general enough so that it can be added to any Rails app without modification. The Rails app stays in control of all sign-in and sign-out functions.

…so, the idea is to write a plugin for bbPress that works something like WordPress’s LDAP plugin. But I’m not a big bbPress coder … anybody interested in helping with this?

I ended up using Jeriko’s Import RSS feeds into your WordPress blog hack instead. A bit of PHP fiddling and it gets me where I’m going.

[quidoloremipsum]

i wonder if there’s bbpress plugin that can display graphical ranks (something like phpbb’s default stars under user’s nickname…)? if no – did anyone though about writing such plugin?

Is bbPress ever going to get as sophisticated and easy to use as WordPress?

[chrishajer]

I was just able to download it now without a problem.

Maybe just Internet weirdness, solar flares, hamster died, something like that.

Tons of plugins. Modeled after a combination of the bbpress forums and ck’s great bbshowcase board. I have no link on my main page yet but will add one today (just launched).

Looking for feedback on performance. Thanks! I did notice it hanging on some onvertigo javascript?

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress did you install? Maybe it’s a bug changing from a category and then back not working.

I have an Alpha 2 installation, and I created a forum, made it a category, then added some sub-categories. Then, I unchecked the “Forum is category” on the top forum, and it became a regular forum, and I was able to post in it. At that point it was just hierarchical, with a top level forum and three sub-forums, not a parent category that would not allow posts. I think this is exactly how the “Forum is Category” functionality is supposed to work.

The forum is looking great rense, and also the BBpress Live. Excellent!

[hornymelon]

I guess the version numbers would help. I’m on wordpress 2.51 and bbPress 0.9.0.2

@sambauers

thanx for info sam.

i wanted to have bbpress loaded into wpmu (as i see it). I’d like to create a page under wmpu, where bbpress can be loaded into.

Same as i had integrated Phorum.org forum into Mambo.

thanx for info, i’ll be watching that trac ticket.

[Sam Bauers]

@rensenieuwenhuis

Awesome to see bbPress Live in use.

The post to a forum stuff is coming really soon. It may require you to update bbPress to the latest Trunk though…

[Sam Bauers]

@buzz_lighty

Yes, integration you describe is possible. The only problem is if you try to load WordPress inside bbPress

@zachblank

As above. All the issues are being compiled on a single Trac ticket:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/972

[_ck_]

Try 0.0.2 and please report back on the plugin page for the plugin instead of here.

[v5etboyphc]

so anyone could please help me out?

blog: http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl

New forum on R-Project and statistics in general, based on BBPress 1.0 alpha-2I didn’t change much to the original code (other than some minor tinkering on the CSS).

Plugins:

• Support Forum
• Unread Posts
• Post notification
• Moderator post notification
• Google adsense
• Akismet

Also use BBpress Live to mirror on my blog what’s going on at the forums. Finally, the forum is accessible through a ‘page’ on my blog: http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl.

In the future, I plan to use BBpress Live to send a selection of my blog-posts to a subforum.

Since the “Page links for bbPress” Plugin is now integrated with Alpha 2’s Kakumei Theme, the “Topics Per Page” Plugin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/) will break it’s functionality.

It would be great to have both of these working simultaniously.

[fuzzmop]

I’ve been wondering how to remove the borders or padding in the stylesheet for Kakumei. I can’t find *anything* that would lead me to changing this. I’ve tried this:

table, th, td, tr { border: 0; padding: 0; }

But it doesn’t work unless you’re “adding on” to it.

Here is an example of what I’m trying to do: http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2452/paddingtp9.png

I’m running BBPress 1 Alpha 2 if that’s of any help.

Can someone please help find out how to remove the border/padding? It would be greatly appreciated.

@eagano – Hello, I am an experienced WordPress and bbPress developer. I followed your example exactly and have the integration perfectly. Only issue is when I load in WordPress functions bbPress becomes buggy. I am still able to login as before on each eite and become logged into the other. Although being logged in as a Key Master i am not able to access bb-admin nor am I able to reply or post a new topic. when looking at a topic i see the reply header at the bottom of the page but the for is missing. Investigating showed me that the details in bb_current_user and different with the functions integrated. And ‘allcreds’ is non existent in that object. making me unable to do anything on the bbPress install. Thanks for your help! Grate comments above.

Hmm,

With all the path and cookie info stripped out of bb-config and wp-config, cache and cookies cleared, the logging into bbPress:

wordpress_logged_in_URIHASH => /forum/

wordpress_URIHASH => /wp-content/plugins

wordpress_URIHASH => /wp-admin

wordpress_URIHASH => /forum/my-plugins

wordpress_URIHASH => /forum/bb-plugins

wordpress_URIHASH => /forum/bb-admin

Note the trailing slash on the /forum/ path.

The only ‘integration’ info in the bb-config.php is the db connection stuff. That’s it.

Now, this may be/probably is totally natural, that `wordpress_URIHASH => /wp-content/plugins

wordpress_URIHASH => /wp-admin` cookies are set, and this goes to highlight how wrong my perspective is! Here I was thinking that I had configured at least part of it correctly, the auth cookie stuff, but it was doing it all along, haha.

I wonder if one of the WP user permissions plugins (WP-Sentry comes to mind) is affecting this -nah! Cookies are set before output is sent.

Time to back off of this.

Users will just have to log in twice (between the blog and the fora).

Thanks rowoot.

Simply put, this deletes the account as soon as it’s made. I know it’s not perfect because it still sends the registration email and requires extra queries. I’ll try to make it work before any queries are made and then I’ll submit it to the plugins repository.
