Yeah, give it a shot.

I knew it was something simple.. some sleep helped me figure out I was missing a ‘global $forum’

I got it working with the following:

In my theme’s functions:

<?php



function show_bblogin() {

global $forum;

if ( $forum ) {

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();

} else {

echo '<a href="/forum/">Visit the Forum!</a></br>';

}



}

?>

and in my sidebar:

<?php show_bblogin(); ?>

Works like a champ.

fel64: you’re right, bb_forums is indeed empty. however i’ve run through the entire installation numerous times, including the page you linked to, and nothing ever populates there. which is strange. should i put some dummy data in there to trick the install?

[fel64]

Sounds like your bb_forums table is empty. If it is, bb thinks it hasn’t been installed yet. Just continue with this install from here: http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/forum/bb-admin/install.php?step=1

I thought of what you said and I’ve looked and found nothing. I looked in wp_options and saw bbsync which I deactivated & deleted.

[chrishajer]

Do you have an example of where this is happening?

Maybe there is something with a previous integrated installation that is fouling things up? A WP plugin maybe? Some data in a wp_ table that bbPress is trying to read?

Hi all,

I’ve got some weirdness going on with my attempts to install bbpress. I have successfully installed it a number of times in various directories but always removed it (by deleting all bb_ tables in the database, and deleting the directory as well) because various features I wanted/needed at the time weren’t available.

However I just installed it for a client and that went well so I figured I’d give it another shot on my site. Unfortunately whenever I try to install it, things go fine until I get the “Finished! Now you can log in” message — then I get the message “Doesn’t look like you’ve installed bbPress yet, go here.”

And I’m stuck in this inescapable loop. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times all with the same effect. Hopefully someone here has an idea what’s wrong

BTW I’ve got bbpress & WP on the same database and have my config variables filled in for integrating

Thanks!

I’m using the ThemePress theme, that uses the header/footer from the integrated wordpress install as well co-mingles the various template functions. What I’m trying to do is put code in the wordpress sidebar (not widget) that will show the bbpress profile link/login ONLY when the user is in the forum, otherwise it will show a link to go to the forum.

In the sidebar, I’ve tried

<?php if ( $forums ) :

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();

endif; ?>

Thinking that, since I can supposedly use each other’s functions, the if if ($forums) would work. I was wrong.

I also tried trying to set $is_forum = 1; in front-page.php and in the sidebar:

<?php

function show_bbmenu()  {

if ( $is_forum ) :

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();



endif; ?>

}



show_bbmenu();

?>

Among other things and apparently I’m overlooking something stupid and easy but I’m afraid insomnia is not being kind to me this morning.

Here is the Danish language file for bbPress 0.8.2.1. It is still in preliminary stage, but I hope that it will help Danish users getting started with bbPress. It added the original .pot file as well, if you would like to do your own translation using poEdit.

Download:

http://www.familietraef.dk/?dl_id=11

Setup:

1) Unzip the files.

2) Upload the da_DK.mo and da_DK.po files to your ‘bb-includes/languages’ folder. (Note: if you do not have it, create the folder)

3) Edit config.php – find define(‘BBLANG’, ”); and change to define(‘BBLANG’, ‘da_DK’);

Enjoy!

Yes, it’s been done:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/the-result-of-phpbb2bbpress?replies=1

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb?replies=26

These are old posts, but yes, it can be done. You might need to make some modifications to the linked scripts to make them work with your version of phpBB and bbPress.

But, it can be done, yes.

[samhughey]

I have a phpBB forum. Can bbPress import those forums?

Thanks,

You can put bbPress in a iframe if you want. Or you can do more integration and just use the style and header and footer from your wiki into a bbPress theme to make bbPress look like your wiki.

[thetooth]

ok so how can i add bbpress to my wiki can i just add an iframe or do i need something else

Thanks SamBauers – I now see it

Hopefully one of the other developer will through in a word as to their predictions for the system – I am very curious to know.

[Sam Bauers]

Right after this topic was started there is a sudden flurry of activity from mdawaffe in trunk.

So lots is going on now.

[kineda]

After giving up on bbpress over half a year ago, I decided to give it another shot. The software seems to have matured a bit, and after testing some other routes, I figured it’d still probably be the best bet for integration.

Let me know what your thoughts:

Thanks, the release of version 4 of that project is scheduled for 21st September 2007.

Version 4 is the first public (open-source) major release.

‘I (sambauers) am in the middle of finishing a major release of my own open source project…..’

Impressive looking work.

Thank you Trent,

This worked perfectly!

Took me a while though to figure out why setting the cookie with the same password hashed as the one in the database wasn’t working, reason being, bbpress stores your password into the database as md5(yourpassword), fine — obvious!

BUT … it stores your password in your session cookie as, md5(md5(yourpassword)) — So, there you go

[dvdiveguy]

During installation when I go to step 2 I get the following access violation message

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0AF7B927

Second Step

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

1. Created table dvdgbb_forums

2. Created table dvdgbb_posts

3. Created table dvdgbb_topics

4. Created table dvdgbb_topicmeta

5. Created table dvdgbb_users

6. Created table dvdgbb_usermeta

7. Created table dvdgbb_tags

8. Created table dvdgbb_tagged

At this point the tables have actually been created in the database but I can’t go forward with the installation. So if I start again I get the following.

First Step

We found Steve who is already a “Key Master” on these forums. You may make others later.

First Forum

Forum Name:*

Description:

Double-check that username before continuing.

From here everything goes fine and I get this

Finished!

Now you can log in with the username “Steve” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

Username

Password

*Your WordPress password*

Login address

Diver Forums

Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint. All done!

Unfortunately, I never got a valid password in the process so I can’t login. So I tried the password reset and the send me the password features but to be able to email from my server I need to put 2 ini_set statements before the mail statement so it knows which smtp account to use (this is for server security). the problem is that I will have to search all the files looking for the mail function.

Can you help me out here.

Here is my System Info

PHP Version 5.0.4

mySQL Versions:

Server: 4.1.12

Client: 4.1.7

I’m adding to this because I have since found and edited the registriation_functions.php file so it would send emails. I used the reset password functions to get a new password via email. The first step had me go to a url with a key at the end. Once I got the password I tired to login and got a Key Not Found error. So I took the key part of the url from the first email and forced it into the user meta table in the database. After that, I could login successfully. However, now when I create a topic and post it and then try to view it or any other things like edit users or forums it always returns an unable to locate page error. Well that’s where I’m at now. Its 2am so I going to bed.

[Trent Adams]

Just searching around a bit, does this help?

As you know about bbPress (hense posting in this forum), the only way to change a username is to do it directly through the database. Since there are very few people who can do this here and I doubt they will, the best would be to just login (or register) as jezmck for future posts.

Thanks for letting us know about the bug. It will be fixed in the next release.

I guess ex is a valid CSS unit of measure, but I think it’s for height and was not intended here. Maybe a typo combination of em and px. Maybe…
