I’m integrated on http://www.rabies-ls.com – though I think I’m a bit late for your weekend conference!

[tbronson]

Yes, I need an image uploader/file attachment thingie as well.

It’s the usual: I’d write one…if I could.

Is there something inherent in the current (0.8.3) bbPress set-up (plugin API, or whatever) that makes creating an uploader particularly difficult? It seems to me that anyone with Some Skills could whip one up in…minutes?!

Thanks!

so – tested a lot.

my blog has now an error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘summerdb.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT p2c.category_id AS cat_id, COUNT(p2c.rel_id) AS numposts, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(max(posts.post_date_gmt)) + ‘1’ AS last_post_date, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(max(posts.post_date_gmt)) AS last_post_date_gmt FROM wp_post2cat p2c INNER JOIN wp_posts posts ON p2c.post_id=posts.id WHERE 1 = 1 AND posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND posts.post_status = ‘publish’ AND posts.post_date_gmt <= ‘2007-11-18 15:26:18’ GROUP BY p2c.category_id ORDER BY numposts DESC

if i try to login in bb-admin like: http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/bb-admin/admin-base.php

i was redirectet to http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/

i can login with all my users from wordpress into bbpress.

i have all things done that was sayed in zhe docu and in this forum.

in my config.php under bbpress and in the wp-config.php.

but it doesn’t work very well and i don’t know how to figure out what i do wrong.

anyone has a tip or a little workaround?

thanks

The “No input file specified” error is because you are using pretty urls. Are you using GoDaddy as your host? Because I was having that problem with them too even though my pretty urls worked with wp they did not work with bbpress. I transferred to another host and everything was better.

[joeby]

OK… I’m trying to integrate bbpress (whatever the current version as of 11/17/07 is) with wordpress, hosted on my site.

It’s a train wreck.

In no particular order, but all of equal importance…

bbpress recognizes all the usernames from wp, however my admin account doesn’t give me access to anything. When it was first installed I was able to log in with admin and the random password and get to the dashboard.

Actions are all met with “No Input File Specified”. In other words, Can’t read posts, can’t read can’t enter forums, can’t view profile.

I saw the plugins to integrate, and downloaded the WP plugin, which says is activated (although I’m not sure how to edit it appropriately with the prefixes), and apparently there’s a plugin for bbpress but I can only find the “trac” version of it, not the original, and anyway can’t get to the dashboard to do anything with it. When I could, the trac version didn’t show up, even though I had uploaded that to the my-plugins directory as instructed in the integrating section…

Here’s the url for the WP site and the bbpress site…

wp: http://www.seekgoddaily.com

bbp: http://www.seekgoddaily.com/bbpress/

Does anyone have time to help me out?

[bedbugger]

I run a forum where people share advice, much like bbpress. Most posts are started by someone asking a question, so bbratings is not much help.

It would help a lot if people could use a feature like bbratings to rate responses to the post, rather than the post itself. That way others who come along could see the best advice.

Is this possible with bbratings, or does someone else have any ideas? (Warning, I’m kind of a noob.)

[chgogrrl99]

Ok…Success!

So, first of all, thank you for all of your help.

I guess what I was doing wrong was creating a sub-directory called “forum” and then uploading the bbpress folder into that. I think that changed the address when it tried to access the files. For instance, rather than being http://www.my_site.com/forums it ended up being http://www.my_site.com/forums/bbpress. My guess is it couldn’t find it.

So, what I did was, and I’m sure everyone reading this is thinking “Duh” was to create a sub-directory named forum so the address would be http://www.my_site.com/forum and then upload the bbpress “files” not the folder their housed in. Worked like a charm and even the sign-in page for step 1 looked like a WP sign-in sheet.

Thanks again for you help. I’m done for the night, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon as I try to set this thing up. Have a great night.

Whatever file your wp-config.php is in is where you normally want your bbpress folder. That would give you one of two things:

http://www.site.com/ (where this is actually WordPress for your site)

http://www.site.com/bbpress (bbPress forum)

OR

http://www.site.com/ (website)

http://www.site.com/wordpress (WordPress blog)

http://www.site.com/wordpress/bbpress (bbPress forum)

Lots of people use WordPress alone for their website. If you are using it for your site, and your site is at http://www.site.com, and you want bbpress in a folder called bbpress, then drop the bbpress folder into the root folder for your site (wherever wp-config.php is.)

IF you don’t need integration, and you have a website, a blog (WordPress) and want a forum (bbPress) just put the bbpress folder at the same level as the wordpress folder. So you would have this:

http://www.site.com/

http://www.site.com/wordpress/

http://www.site.com/bbpress/

If you are not concerned with integration, and you have a website AND a WordPress install, then I would do the option directly above (with bbpress and wordpress directories at the same level.)

Hope that makes sense.

_ck_’s “bbpress topic limit” plugin seems to screw with the count for this plugin – I get 9 pages for topics which only have 3, and other weird calculation errors – anyone know of a fix?

[chgogrrl99]

Well, guess what? I just went and deleted all of the bbpress database tables and deleted the forums sub-directory.

I’m going to do a fresh install. I think I should have installed bbPress inside the WP subdirectory and I think you and I have discussed this before.

But, I’m an idiot today I guess. So, if you don’t mind, this time when I install I should ftp bbPress to wordpress correct? WP is the main page (top level domain).

So the url would be what? http://www.my_site.com/wordpress/bbpress?

Or, am I totally off base here. Once again, I’m hosted by Yahoo and cannot make a .htaccess file and I will leave my mod_rewrite = false if that makes a difference.

BTW, I’m not going to register users on the main site, so there’s no need to integrate WP with bbPress.

Thanks

[chrishajer]

A URL to your site would help with some of these problems.

If your website is at http://www.my_site.com/, whatever folder beneath that level where you installed bbPress is the URL you should list in your config. So if you installed it in /forums/bbpress then yes, that is that is what would be in your config.

Normally, you would use a subfolder right inside your website root folder. So, when you unzip bbPress, it creates a bbpress folder. You can rename that to forums if you want to access your site at http://www.my_site.com/forums/ – if you put that bbpress folder inside the forums folder, then the URL is going to be http://www.my_site.com/forums/bbpress .

[chrishajer]

It’s not located at http://bluejavamug.com/bbpress/bb-admin/ ?

Are you sure all the folders and files made it up there on upload?

Do you have an .htaccess file that might be rewriting it in a bad way?

If you login as the keymaster, is there a link that says (Admin | Log out) after your name where Admin is a link to the admin panel?

Maybe you’re not logged in as the keymaster?

[chrishajer]

I thought it already did that?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/46

Admins can configure maximum allowed file size

(bytes) and dimensions (pixels) of images from

within the admin page (credit: Sam Bauers).



Images that exceed maximum dimensions are

automatically resized (and sharpened if truecolor

images).

Or are you asking for it to do something different than that?

[chgogrrl99]

Could I have entered the path wrong in the config file?

I have http://www.my_site.com/forums and in the forums sub-directory I installed bbPress.

Should it have been http://www.my_site.com/forums/bbpress?

[dabblesmith]

I just finished installing bbPress with WordPress MU and did the integration on install. Problem is, I can’t find the bbPress admin panel. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

[chgogrrl99]

Hi,

I’m in the process of installing bbPress. I’ve uploaded it to my server and now I’m at the install.php step 1.

So, here’s my question: Should the info on the first page match the info I placed in the config.php file? Should User Name be the same? Forum name be the same? And, where it says location does that mean http://www.my_really_cool_site.com/forums?

This may sound like a weird question, but I don’t want to chance screwing this up.

Thanks

[chrishajer]

You just need a link in your “Pages” area to http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/ – it’s installed properly so you just need to link to it so people know it’s there.

I’m not sure about the rest of your questions. bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it doesn’t become part of your WordPress installation. To make it look like your WordPress installation you need to do some CSS work. As for the creating new topics, I did not receive a confirmation for me account creation, so I could not log in to try that. Is mail being sent from the server? I waited about 10 minutes but still no confirmation.

In management, I can create a forum. But when I try to visit it, I get the “Doh” WP page!

I think the bbPress Admin page is not able to create the folders, etc that are needed (or really, is not creating). I think the folder has the right permissions set, but I don’t know what going on really.

Sorry this is vague.

Here’s a link to my forums: http://jackhammr.org/bbpress

[fel64]

BG: bbsync, avatar upload and some custom code. If you want some help doing it, just start a new topic.

[Andrew]

Outstanding. Well done.

[honewatson]

Nice clean layout. Did you do the theme?

How about some gravatars?

I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?

(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)

It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. I tried searching a bit, but I can’t seem to find a decent tutorial on how to use the WordPress header, footer and background color (of the main content box). Can you guys help me a bit in the good direction?

I have already installed bbpress, using the same database as wordpress and I configured config.php to match the integration.

Regards,

DM
