Maybe we should chip in some money for _ck_ to make a really nice emoticon plugin. Some of my forum users would probably chip in as well.
lol, sorry, just read about how to submit in the forum. My bad.
How do we make a bbpress forum submission? I am going live in less than a week & have made quite a lot of interface tweaks to suit the style of my site. I’d love to submit mine for inclusion on the showcase.
Let me know.

Put all the bbPress files that are in the archive you downloaded into a folder in your webspace. If your website is at http://www.example.com/ and the files on the server are at /var/www/vhosts/yourname/ and you want your forums at http://www.example.com/forums/, just create a directory called /var/www/vhosts/yourname/forums in your webspace and upload the files there.
Put all the bbpress files into one folder though, exactly how they came out of the archive. By default, when you unzip the files, they are in a folder called bbpress. You can use that or rename that to forums, then just upload the whole thing to your webspace.
This is an old post about converting from PHPBB2:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb
The Google Summer of Code project for bbPress is going to focus on importers for bbPress, so if you are not using PHPBB2, you might want to wait until the GSOC project is over. There will probably be an announcement if they complete the tools.

Is it possible to convert PHPBB posts/user db to bbpress?
Any help would be appreciated.
If you look at the plugin, it’s pretty simple. Line 12:
if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')
If you want to allow other users to do everything that this plugin allows, you would need to change ‘administrate’ to whatever permission your users have. I am not going to post exactly how to do it, since I think it could be a potential security hole, but that line right there is the key. Take a look at the plugin and see what I mean.

I think you need to include WordPress in your bbPress so you have access to WordPress functions like get_header:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
Then, in your template, you need to do something like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
That will include the WordPress header. If you do the second part without the first, it will fail because get_header is a WordPress function.
I think…
Actually, the bbPress secret can live in the database. But you are right that the WPMU one cannot, mostly for login compatibility between blogs within WPMU.
Obviously you should choose your own secret and salt values, not the one’s given above.
my mistake,
make sure your BB_SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_SALT value on your bb-config.php are the same with SECRET_KEY and SECRET_SALT value on your wp-config.php

i just solved my login cookie issue after one night debugging…
i found these things:
– by default, wpmu generate auth_cookie as “wordpress”, but bbpress generate as “wordpress_xxxxx(hash)”
– wpmu not using “database secret” for cookie hashing, but it use the SECRET_SALT constant defined in the wp-config.php, bbpress using “database secret”. so the cookie result will never be the same.
you need to update your bb-config.php file to meet these situations.
assumed you’ve successfully install wpmu + bbpress, then edit your bb-config.php and add these line:
define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘yourreallysecretkey’);
define(‘BB_SECRET_SALT’, ‘yourreallysecretsalt’);
$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.yourdomain.com’;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;
and try to login… voila.. you can switch to bbpress and wpmu without re-login…
good luck,

_ck_:
The insert function in Comment Quicktags for bbPress can easily be reused to insert smilies.
Can you please show us how? Thanks
How to change it to all user can post embed object?
OK, I have the bbpress login and the wp login using the same user database under wp. The only issue that I have left is my loss of keymaster under the bbpress install. My problem with this is that I did auto-installs of both programs…so I didn’t get any options to set the keymaster/admin settings. I have read this post: wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-2539 and I think that that it’s what I need to do. Problem is…I don’t know how to change this. I don’t see any code that looks like that which is being referred to. Anyone have a more detailed description of what I’m trying to do? Thanks.
Thought this may help those that are still having trouble integrating the two:
http://www.kineda.com/how-to-integrate-wordpress-and-bbpress-in-3-simple-steps/
I figured it was just browser functionality, not based on the software.
I wonder what header the other software sent, (if that’s what did it) and then if you could just send the same header in bbPress to cause the same behavior in the browser?
No.
There is a plugin to allow users to post images:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/
There is also a plugin called “Admin can post anything”:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/
You can also browse around there to see if there are some I have forgotten about. I thought Trent posted a while back about a plugin that allowed users to include all sorts of things, but I don’t know the status of that. I think that was for keymasters and admins only, as well:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-youtube-in-bbpress
Man…i’ve been trying to get bbpress in integrate (sso) for about 4 days now. I’ve tried just about everything these forums have recommended. I first installed WordPress (upgraded to 2.5.1), and then installed the newest version of bbpress in a subdirectory, like http://www.mysite.com/forum. I then went to my “wordpress integration” section of my bbpress installation, set it up as directed…and now I can’t login to the admin section of my bbpress site. I looked into seryi’s suggested changed above, but my code seems to be correct in my pluggable.php file. I tried the “fix admin” plugin from here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/. I also tried this process (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-2539) of changed the phpmyadmin, but I’m confused on what to add where. Is there anything else I can try in order to get this integration working?
chrishajer is right – bbPress probably wouldn’t have released without some tightly knit coding to escape malicious scripts as a standard practice. Though, if you do want to delve deeper into guarding against attacks, there are some pretty handy tutorials on managing databases here: http://www.microsoft.com/hellosecureworld7
I wonder when it will be released for beta testing.

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. Just upload the bbpress folder to a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, then access the installer.
http://www.example.com/ <— if this is WordPress
http://www.example.com/bbpress/ <— put the forum here
Then access that URL and start the installation.
See: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/870
You can make the change yourself to fix this using this changeset:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1499
Or alternatively you can go directly into your MySQL database and remove the row from the bb_topicmeta table with the meta_key of ‘avatars_show’.
Hi,
Hello all,
I’m currently working on an install of bbPress on a website that uses the Equal Height Column CSS technique.
There is a known issue with this and anchor tags as explained at length here:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/appendix/equalheightproblems
Unfortuantely it doesn’t seem like there’s an easy work around.
So my question is…
How easy would it be to remove the anchor jumps from the ‘post’ topic/ ‘edit’ topic etc?
So for example when you post a reply it doesn’t go to
topic.php?id=5&replies=2#post-8
but
topic.php?id=5&replies=2
instead?
Any help with this would be massively appreciated. It’s one of those horrible design headaches.
