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!

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.

@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.

so anyone could please help me out?

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.

hey,

I am desperately tryin to integrate bbpress 1.0a2 with wp 2.6.2.

I have decided to use bbpress login system instead of wp. Now I have skinned my bbpress forum to suit wp theme, but I need to access sidebar via bbpress. (since my sidebar has a poll, some other plugins). I don`t want to replicate those plugins in bbpress !

There has to be some alternative way to do so, since including wp-blog-header.php does the trick but screws up the user integration.

I hope bbpress creators can think of something regarding this !

[Micheal Benedict Arul]

I must appreciate your work. Although I have given up tryin to integrate them.

I have finally resorted to using the login system of bbpress rather than wordpress login system. Since the cookies generated by bbpress is accepted and recognized by wordpress while it doesn`t work vice versa.

(basically if I login into bbpress, wordpress automatically recognizes me and wordpress admin is accessible, but if I login via wordpress, bbpress recognizes that I have logged in, but I can`t access admin section of bbpress)

So I was thinking about this in the shower, if I can get bbPress to set a cookie for / instead of /forum I think my woes would be over (See Step 2 above…)

Now, before looking into it further, I don’t think this is how it works. If the script calling for a cookie to be set is in folder ‘/forum/’ then the domain scope for that cookie is going to be set to ‘/forum/’ by the webserver.

But to test the obvious, I rushed to bb-config and tried variations on

// Cookie Scope

$bb->cookiedomain = '';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

No joy.

Maybe if I had the wp-login code on the forum site…with bb-admin cookies… let me try some things…

The ‘/’ cookie to rule them all is the way to go. If I can just get it to work…

Its my first time using bbPress and first time theming it. I must say, the easiest forum to theme I’ve ever come across.

I mimic WordPress (.com and .org) forums layout structure and color palette. Still working to iron out some css issue.

I wanted to update jquery to the current latest but it broke a few things. So I’m currently writing a plug-in that will hopefully update the jQuery and fixes the few broken items.

… i thought i did say.. i tried many different including this one already. but not just that i unable to log in into admincp but also unable to log out

[Micheal Benedict Arul]

There is a way. You can include wp-blog-header.php inside bb-config.php which is specified here.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

There is a problem though, when you include this file, you`ll have problems logging in to your bbpress admin side.

[v5etboyphc]

i tried many different ways to have same header and footer as WP for BBpress but every way i tried, I ended up with Unable To Login

and some ways did work but can’t log out and some when i press login or logout i got error
