Adding that line only allows you access to WordPress functions from within bbPress, it has nothing to do with making your forum look like your blog. For that, you will need to do some CSS and template work: none of it is automatic.

I found the answer here:

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

I guess that’ll learn me to read before posting.

I don’t suppose anyone has had a chance to check that link? I might have to take the forum down on it soon as I’m concerned about a infinite loop being live on the server.

I’ve been researching and can’t seem to find a solution to this….

It just seems odd as on IIS6 Bbpress worked fine…..

Hi,

I am just going through the setup of bbPress and I have 2 questions about the above.

1. Add cookie integration settings:

If you want to allow shared logins with an existing WordPress installation.

Does this mean that users who register for the forum are also able to write posts on my blog? I can’t imagine this would the case, but seeing this made me a bit nervous.

2. Add user database integration settings:

If you want to share user data with an existing WordPress installation.

What’s the benefit behind this, besides centralizing user data?

[_ck_]

Hopefully you’ve figured out that you can just edit front-page.php as you wish to accomplish all that.

[_ck_]

This is unlikely to ever happen as it goes against the entire concept of bbPress being “bare bones”.

For every plugin you think is very useful, another user will find it useless (and just slows down bbPress).

I’ve been debating creating a “plus” version of bbPress that will bundle many of my plugins to help get people started more quickly but that won’t happen anytime soon (at least not until 1.0 is mature).

ps. why do you use “private forums” and “hidden forums” together? Hidden Forums should be a full replacement.

[_ck_]

I suspect most of the efforts are probably going into BackPress so they can get TalkPress going (the wordpress.com version of bbpress). bbPress is benefiting from the work but I doubt we’ll see the resources you are requesting anytime this year (at least not until 1.0 is out)

The trac roadmap is a (very limited) resource you can use as a reference, sorry that’s all I can think of:

can you explain how you intergrated the wp functions in the bb-config.php , im having a lot of trouble with that

i appreciate any help

thanks

[724719]

i tried what you just and no I obviously put the <?php first lol

here is a screenshot of my situation.

http://picbi.com/upload/images/n3kenkd274fvqqx6jx.jpg

wordpress still works when i use that “functions” line, but logining to bbpress does not.

thanks

as i said, when i use the line, the domain http://www.picbi.com/forum results in a white empty page

Hi there,

I’ve been using bbpress for a while but I recently updated my servers and switched all the sites over to it. Much to my frustration I am experiencing infinite loops when attempting to edit or view any profiles or topics. Thus making a rather rubbish forum!

Admin pages work fine, WP integration went through perfectly, topics can be posted BUT not viewed.

Right so heres the spec:

Windows Server 2008

IIS7

PHP 5.2.6

MySQL 5.1.25

Both the latest versions of WP and BBpress, WP is installed absolutely fine.

With debug activated I get the following:

REQUEST_URI: string(31) “/journal/messageboard/topic.php”

should be: string(37) “/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=39”

full permalink: string(64) “http://www.XXXXX.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=39&#8221;

PATH_INFO: NULL

If anyone can help me out I would actually love them a great, great deal…..

I found this thread, which is quite old:

http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/bbdev/2005-July/000206.html

But the fixes suggested there are in the settings file already.

Help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Hi to all!

For a simple (!!!) project I’m using WP and BBpress: I’ve change all the precedure for the users registration in BBpress and I like to integrate it with WP.

I’ve perfectly integrate the forum with the blog (including the function file in bb-congif.php), but I cannot understand how can I include the registration block in WP.

Can someone give me any kind of information?

[724719]

i just read a post on another thread, and saw this checklist:-

1. You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

ME – yeahs I am !

2. You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

ME – yeahs I have !

3. You have matched WordPress "secret" database option with bbPress "secret" database setting

ME – yeahs I have!

4. You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

ME – I take its these two things i have to add to wp-config.php file: – define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”); define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

if so what do I change those parameters to, or do i leave them blank … im not that familiar with cookies .. (my site is http://www.picbi.com and the forum is http://www.picbi.com/forum )

5. You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Me – Yeahs I am

[724719]

it worked but when i logged in as admin in the blog and then go to login as admin in bbpress (both the same user).. it logins me in as admin but when I click on the “admin” link at the top.

I get this: –

Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 29

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 29

and yeahs the wp-blog-header.php is there, otherwise there would have been an error before i even logged in.

[724613]

Ok. I figured out how to get the single login working for both bbPress and WordPress…

I did understand the Function part of the setup.

I made sure the bb-config.php file looked like this.

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

While a TOS (terms of service) agreement for any forum during registration (as well as a age confirmation) I suspect it’s more likely your site got suspended for adult content?

In any case TOS and AGE confirmation are good plugin ideas. Here’s a plugin for TOS.

ps. “native american” = North American Indian. I suspect you meant instead that english is not your primary language.

This is a quick fix for now, until bbPress gets the well needed mass-edit:

If you have your bbPress integrated with your WordPress, then all of the bozo users will show up with no role in your WP users mass-edit. You can mass delete them from there. Look out, though, because non-activated accounts show up with no role as well. I’d check in bbPress for bozos and then delete them in WP after you know who they are.

[724613]

Ok. Yes. Any user I create in bbPress shows up in wp_users table.

So that means I completed the checklist.. BUT what am I missing that won’t allow one user login to carry from bbPress to WordPress and vice-versa, so that a user doesn’t have to login twice?

[_ck_]

It would not be too difficult to make bbPress look/work like that. Maybe a week of tinkering.

[_ck_]

bbPress does indeed need a mass-edit users like wordpress has.

[_ck_]

There is a long words/long links plugin for wordpress that someone ported to bbPress. Search for it around here somewhere…

[Sam Bauers]

If you create a new user in bbPress the user record should turn up in the wp_users table. That’s the best way to check.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress is not a competitor to WordPress, it is a complimentary product.

[724613]

sambauers-

I followed your checklist and feel I am doing everything right. I still can’t get it to work. How can I make absolutely sure I’m doing #5 (sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress) correctly?

1) You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

2) You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

3) You have matched WordPress “secret” database option with bbPress “secret” database setting

4) You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

5) You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

[729082]

Themepress seems to be the easiest way. Working under wp 2.5.1 and bb 0.9.0.2. I found it here.
