You used to be able to do that with bbSync, but I have no idea if it will still work in the latest release of bbPress and WordPress.

I am running the latest build (as of now) of 0.9 bbPress and WP 2.5 Beta (yesterday’s build).

They (so far) seem to play together really well (great job on the out-of-the-box integration to you bbPress guys!).

I have a question. Is it possible to make a post in WordPress and somehow have it added to a forum in bbPress and comments added to that post in WP added to the topic in bbPress too?

How would one go about achieving this?

Thanks,

Garry

[chrishajer]

Would an approach like this work?

As some of you know, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress altogether and as I learn more I am also getting really amp’d for the new releases of both. However, after looking at the trac roadmap…

I see WP 2.5 still has A LOT of open tickets where as bbPress 0.9 has 0 tickets open. Is it just not updated or is today’s release not realistic?

Any answer about the Email Notification plugin? I agree that it’s necessary to allow users to get emails when a new response is posted.

bbPress does a much better job at archiving conversations and making them searchable. The Email Notifications will help me ween my community off email lists.

The 0.9 release is being compiled in “branches/0.8” of the bbPress subversion repository. Trunk is already heading toward 1.0-beta.

If you want to test 0.9, then grab the files from here (zip download at the bottom)… https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/0.8

BackPress is not used for 0.9

[Sam Bauers]

What is currently in the “branches/0.8” directory of the subversion repository is pretty close to what will be released. Trunk is already heading towards 1.0-beta, don’t use it. BackPress is not required for 0.9 and will be part of 1.0-beta

Hi bbPressers.

I’ve made a new theme called Scoun. Hope you like it.

At the moment I’m using it on my own site, so for a demo go here:

For download go here:

Oh, thanks Mark – I’ll do that when I get home,

[gkp99]

No I didn’t – must not have bookmarked the RSS – what are those files for? Do I just put them in the bbPress root?

Thanks Chris,

Did you see this?

[chrishajer]

1. Yes it’s possible to make bbPress and WordPress look the same.

2. I don’t know about the widgets. I suspect if you include the WordPress functions in bbPress you could probably do that.

3. You probably want to redirect all your bbPress logins through WordPress since the WordPress registration function is more robust.

The level of integration you’re looking for is beyond what most people will help with for free. It’s all possible though (I think: not sure on the widgets since I never used one.)

You need to make sure you have backpress installed also: http://svn.automattic.com/backpress

[howtogeek]

That plugin didn’t work quite right for me, but I was able to hack together my own hard-coded version for both bbpress and wordpress.

Thanks!

[howtogeek]

You’ll have to create your own custom theme for bbpress in order to make it look like it’s part of your site.

[gkp99]

Well I just uploaded the latest nightly build of 0.9 and I can’t get it to install so I would just wait for the official one if I were you.

Garry,

[chrishajer]

What are you expecting from integration? Integration here means the user information is shared, that’s about it. If you want your bbPress installation to look like your WordPress blog, there is more work to be done. I’m guessing that’s what you’re expecting: you want your forum to look like your blog?

[crazlunatic]

I added the code but nothing changed:

Hi, I’ve installed the 0.8.3.1 version into the wordpress v2.3.2 directory.

I tried to localise bbpress in french using the fr_FR.mo found in http://www.adilade.fr/blog/41/bbpress-traduction-francaise.html#comment-281

But when I add the french mo file in bbpress/bb-includes/languages, and the line

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

into config.php file

I’ve the Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader in E:wampwwwhyporecrs_next2bbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

After many hours of research and tests, the problem seems to be due that there is a confict between wordpress fr mo file and the bbpress one.

Note that to use the header and the footer from wordpress in bbpress, I’ve added:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);

}

into the config.php file

(the bbpress template could then use get_header(); and get_footer(); of wordpress which is very convenient)

Please how can I solve this issue ?

thanks in advance

[chrishajer]

crazlunatic: did you try it? That looks like what you need to do for integration, to me. Oh, except I think you need to do that before you install, so that your user tables are integrated. If you changed that after installation, install again.

Integration next week will be different with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the latest bbPress 0.9.

[chrishajer]

rahul286: the false option always works for all servers. The other options work but require some configuration on your end. So, setting it to false is the quickest and easiest way to get going. It’s not a problem with bbPress, it’s a problem with configuration on a lot of servers.

[crazlunatic]

That is great. I really appreciate your help but now I want to integrate it into wordpress. How can I do this?

http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/

This is how I edited my config:

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘craz_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

/* Stop editing */

[chrishajer]

It looks bad because the path to your style.css is wrong. The stylesheet should be here, but it’s not:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

So, where is it really? I suspect the path in the config.php and the URL you are using to access the forum are not the same, and that’s why you see the forum without any styling.

Wait – it’s actually here:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

So, in your config you called the directory forums but you actually installed it in the directory bbpress. You need to fix your config.php.

You have this:

$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/’;

It needs to be this:

$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/’;

(or, you can leave the config alone and change the name of the bbpress directory to forums.)

Fix that and everything will look as it should. You may need to do a hard refresh or clear the cache in your browser to see the effect of the changes. CTRL SHIFT R in Firefox.
