You are looking for integration then, to include WordPress bits in your bbPress.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply).

[fokjulle]

Here is config.php:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*********’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘********’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*********’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘**********’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ”); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

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

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

?>

Yes, I use PHPMyAdmin…

[chrishajer]

Maybe the database you used for WordPress has a different collation, but WordPress didn’t care about the difference where bbPress does care and gives you an error?

Do you have access to the database with something like phpMyAdmin?

Who are the bbpress designers that you know of that can convert a template I choose into a bbpress design? Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

To make bbPress look like your WordPress theme, you are going to have to do some XHTML and CSS work with a new template for your bbPress forum. It doesn’t sound like you will need user integration, so you can skip that part of the installation/integration, but will will need to either include WordPress in bbPress to get access to your WordPress header and foot or manually add those items to your bbPress template.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply):

There are also a couple WordPress forum plugins:

http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/

(might not work anymore with WordPress 2.5)

Never tried either of those but they might be options instead of creating your own theme to make bbPress look like your WordPress installation.

How do I add a sidebar into a forum for bbpress?

[antonioperez]

Hello everyone. I am attempting to incorporate bbpress into my current wordpress site at http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/wordpress. I don’t want bbpress and wordpress to share any user data as the wordpress site will only be available to members who pay for the service. In short, the bbpress forum will be a kind of online mentoring tool. What I want to is to basically embed bbpress into my wordpress so that when someone navigates threw the site, it will appear as a smooth transitition.

Thanks

Does anyone know where I can still download ThemePress?

Or is there any similar theme for bbPress 0.9?

Previous thread on this topic.

[chrishajer]

When I was not logged in, no errors. When logged in, I see a Javascript error:

Error: favoritesToggle[1 === isFav ? "removeClass" : "addClass"] is not a function

Source File: http://trashmedia.co.za/forums/bb-includes/js/topic-js.php?ver=20080401

Line: 55

 

I have a 0.9.0.1 installation and I checked there and I have the same exact same error.

It looked like the error was related to favorites, so I figured I would mark something as a favorite and see if the error would go away, but it didn’t.

There is already a ticket filed for this problem with a solution posted there as well:

I use this little plugin and my users love it. However, it stops working when using _ck_’s “Change Number of Front Page Topics” plugin.

How to restrict number of Latest Discussions on front page

Not sure which one is causing the problem, but thought it would be worth posting here, in case somebody wants to troubleshoot it.

[eyal8r]

I see some threads of integrating/patching earlier version of bbpress to accommodate Categories for forums. However- that was for version of 0.8xxx. I have version 0.901 and want to group my forums into categories. How do I do this? I’m shocked that this isn’t part of the standard install…

[fokjulle]

I’m testing my new BBPress installation; I created a second – “normal” – user account for me, and am posting things to test everything. I noticed that, in Firefox, so far so good. However, I noticed something in IE: when I am not logged in, everything loads fine. But once I’m logged in (as a “normal” member), and navigate to various threads, the page loads, but with “errors” (as seen at the bottom of IE’s status bar). The CSS seems to mess up slightly, but otherwise everything loads correctly.

If I click on the report, it says that the “object doesn’t support this property or method”, on line 56, character 2.

Why is this, and how do I fix it?

I’ve updated this theme. If you’ve been having registration issues, please download it again and replace the following files:

login-form.php

register.php

register-success.php

[chrishajer]

I think you would probably want to edit the template files to include those blocks of code from your static page into bbPress, not the other way around. bbPress needs to do its thing, but you can edit the template files and include the sidebar and header into the bbPress pages.

[freewaregeek]

Hi everyone, i want to know if is possible to integrate bbPress into static HTML webpage, if yes how ? Thanks in advance. To see an example :

This is my site :

Feeds access the database just the same as page views, so there should be no delay in new posts/topics showing up in the feeds from bbPress.

I don’t know how often RSS forward or similar services grab those feeds though.

[jaydedman]

We came up with a hack for email notifications: http://showinabox.tv/forum so people can get an email when someone posts to a thread they are following.

We are using RSS Forward.

But it seems that our bbPress feed updates itself very slowly.

Anyone know how often feeds refresh by default?

[Ryan]

You’re right, it’s the new user notification plugin that I had forgotten about downloading.
