Some success. I found where things were getting stopped up. In the config section looking for “what are you going to call me” (By now I had a few choice words.) I included an apostrophe. When I removed it, the installation went smoothly and I can get into the admin side of things.

Can I now, after the fact integrate with wordpress by making the changes in the config file? Or is it plugin time. bbpress is inside the folder containing the wp files.

Interesting (16:12 CST):

Your bbPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/) is not a subdirectory of your WordPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate).

Sharing login cookies is possible but is more complicated. See the documentation about integrating bbPress and WordPress.

In the meantime, remove the http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate setting from your config.php file, or you may not be able to log in.

I’ve heard of this problem recently but have not seen a solution.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-result-is-empty#post-13571

I thought I saw something regarding RSS checked into the code around revision 1044 – 1046 so maybe it’s fixed in development:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1045

[fooddude]

I’m running bbpress 0.8.3.1 integrated into my wordpress 2.3.3. BBPress is in the same database as my WordPress. The problem is, I can’t get a feed from the front page. If I point Feedburner or whatever to bbpress, it discovers a feed (wordpressblog/bbpress/rss.php), but it returns a not valid error. If I go to it in my browser, I get a blank page.

I’ve tried reinstalling bbpress, and switching to the default theme to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

[chrishajer]

There are lots of people out there who know how to fix it.

I think the problem you are having related to glob() is fixed in revsion 1075. I would download that as a zip archive. It works around the fact that glob is not available on some servers.

You can download any revision you want right here (look at the bottom of the page for zip archive and download that, when you find r1075.)

There is a quick fix also:

thanks for the info. Have installed and sync’ed WordPress and BBpress on xammp now. Really there is nothing like an install you can play with without worrying about it all crashing

Re the integration plugins with security issues, what is the situation with those?

[johnwade]

Meant, drop and I’ve started over. WordPress went fine. bbpress went into a folder called forum and got this error:

What do you mean by dump? It doesn’t look like there’s anything there to save, so I would drop the tables and start over by letting WordPress and bbPress create new tables in the database with the proper (different) table prefixes (from your configs.)

[johnwade]

I was just reading the cookie reference as to the forum being placed inside the wp folder. I don’t know how I missed that in the installation instructions. I know I was supposed to provide a path.

All in all, a strong arguement for starting from scratch and inserting the bbpress folder into the wp folder. Will update shortly.

[chrishajer]

Interesting…

I don’t know why it would redirect to the home page vs. giving you a failed login attempt. I registered, received my email, tried logging in, and it seemed like it just redirected to the front page of the forum again.

Is the WordPress installation going to be here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/ ?

If so, with integration, the bbPress installation should be here then (I believe):

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/Forums/

but it’s actually here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I wonder if the cookie path is wrong and that prevents bbPress from setting the proper cookie and thus thinks you’re not logged in, or that you logged back out since there is no valid cookie?

I checked the cookies that were set and I have a cookie path of /puppyplaydate/ for wordpressuser and wordpresspass. I would expect the cookie path to be /Forums/ with this setup.

As a test, I just stopped accepting cookies for my site (integrated with WordPress as well), then tried logging in. If I tried to log in while I was viewing a forum, it just silently redirected me to the forum home page. This seems like confirmation that it’s a cookie issue at this point. I can make mine do what yours is doing.

If I set the 2 cookies manually in Firefox, I am logged in! Check this out:

Screenshot of me logged into your forum:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-profile.png

Screenshot of the cookies I manually set (note path /Forums/):

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-cookies.png

Here is the response from your server where it tries to set the cookies with a path of /puppyplaydate/:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-response.txt

HTH

Integration works fine.

If you are using WordPress 2.3.x you need bbPress 0.8.3.x and if you are using WordPress trunk (2.5 alpha) you should use bbPress trunk r1075.

Essentially cookie hashes and paths have to be sync’ed and a plugin is needed on the bbPress side to set WordPress roles if they register through bbPress.

I’ve assembled most of the details here:

Or you can comb through the integration tag here:

It is, because i took out the pt_BR, i have put in config.php, and it works well, but i need trasnlation to portuguese, portugal.

[Sam Bauers]

Your WordPress table prefix needs to be different to your bbPress table prefix.

[chrishajer]

Did you clear out the user in WordPress and start over by creating a new user? Did you reinstall WordPress as well? I wonder if any modification were made by bbPress to the WordPress tables when you tried to install bbPress with the same table prefix for both bbPress and WordPress.

Can you try just logging in as a user, or registering a new user, then logging in? Does that work, and does the forum work, it’s just that you can’t access bb-admin directly?

[chrishajer]

I believe that is due to the language files. Look here for more info:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-wordpress-038-bbpress-in-another-language

It looks like your site is in Portuguese, but maybe this Spanish thread will be useful:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/en-espanol

[chrishajer]

In your config.php, you should start with mod_rewrite being false. I suspect you have it set to true or slugs, and that is creating problems for you as well.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

That should take care of the bb-admin issue, unless you are currently logged in and NOT a keymaster or admin. If you are logged in as a regular member and try to access the admin page, I believe you are directed to the bbPress installation instead of admin.

UPDATED INFO after thinking about it: It’s also possible that this redirection is occurring because the creation of tables and modification of tables did not go well, and it’s not reading your user information properly and it does not know you are keymaster with access to bb-admin.

Regarding the SQL errors, is it possible your WordPress installation already used ppd_ as a table prefix, and then you used it in your config.php for the bbPress table prefix as well? If that’s the case, the errors are because it is trying to create tables that already exist or modifying tables with the wrong names. From the snippet of config.php you posted earlier, you showed $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'playdate_'; but also ppd_ in the line below (the ‘for example’ part), and the errors here show ppd_ as the table prefix. Oddly enough, there are some errors with just ppd and no underscore as the table prefix as well.

Seems like it’s a combination of configuration things at this point. Maybe the $bb_table_prefix was set to the same thing as the $bb->wp_table_prefix with the exception of the underscore (so, ppd vs. ppd_). That info doesn’t agree with the piece of the config.php you posted though where you said $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'playdate_';

I suspect the whole picture has not been posted since you’re working on it and trying things and then you make a change and the old information no longer applies.

Right now, you have the database connection issue figured out. You should be using different table prefixes for wordpress and bbpress: wp_ and bb_ are the defaults. In the bbPress config.php, the $bb->wp_table_prefix should be the same as whatever it is in your wp-config.php and THAT should be different from the bbPress table prefix, set earlier in the config.php at $bb_table_prefix.

[covertandcloaked]

I addressed the 99% rule and have learned that I am in the 1% and made it to the installation page. However, Not sure yet what it’s all about but I did get:

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE ppd_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment

bbPress database error: [Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table]

ALTER TABLE ppd_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)

1.Created table ppd_forums

2.Created table ppd_topics

3.Created table ppd_topicmeta

4.Created table ppdusers

5.Created table ppdusermeta

6.Created table ppd_tags

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

Finished!

Now you can log in with the username . . .

When i post in my blog apear this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader in /home/blogtug/public_html/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 163

[alexandreperei]

I already did it. See at http://www.blogtuga.org and the forum at http://www.blogtuga.org/forum

[alexandreperei]

How can i do this, i already install bbPress, and everything is fine, i used the bbsync plugin, i already configured it, but what i have to do more?

[kernow]

I’m a bit confused. What is the current situation re WordPress and bbpress integration. I’ve browsed the ‘help’ guides, and some mention integration is fine, others mention a plugin which currently is under a shadow re security. Currently I’m having a problem with my forum integration, so am planning to install versions WordP and BB on xammp to experiment.

Assuming I’m installing the two on locahost, what should be edited on the config file to ensure it works correctly?

[chrishajer]

Yes, absolutely on the localhost issue. I always have to change that since my database is on a different server. What DB_HOST is used in the WordPress wp-config.php? If you are using the same database, user and password, but with different tables, then the BBDB_HOST and DB_HOST should be the same value in both files. Whatever you are using in WordPress you need to use in bbPress since you mentioned previously that you were going for an integrated install.

Very simply, the DB_HOST and BBDB_HOST are just machine names where the database lives. If the database (MySQL) is on the same machine as your web server, then localhost is appropriate. If it’s on another host, then you need to enter the publicly accessible name of that host, like mine is always something like db1234.perfora.net. That machine exists on the Internet, and MySQL connections to it are done via port 3306 by default (you don’t need to tell it to do that.)

Once this database connection issue is resolved, I think there is still going to be the error with the bb_walker stuff…

[chrishajer]

The db connection problem is a most certainly a problem with the information in config.php. If you can post your config.php , someone might be able to help. When you edit the details, be sure to edit carefully, or maybe just change one character rather than trying to obliterate the whole db name, user, password or host. Something could be lost in your editing.

On second thought, it’s not going to help much to post the config.php because it’s not that there are syntax errors, it’s a problem with the details. Posting the config with the details there or not will not help to debug it.

Did you cut and paste the whole section from the wp-config.php? Did you change the name of the constants from DB_NAME and DB_whatever to BBDB_NAME and BBDB_whatever for use with bbPress?

Also, are you trying to use a port or socket with the db connection?

[covertandcloaked]

I have not done anything, plug in, or template, just unzipped the download from bbpress website, unzipped, made the appropriate changes to the config.php and uploaded. I will delete everything from server and my computer and download and start from scratch. However the link offered earlier to .8.3.1 has a note in the thread saying not to use it if there is planned wordpress integration, which is my goal.

Where and what should I download to begin again?
