OK so i successfully completed a BBpress / WPress integration…logins are all synced and i can successfulled login to bb or wp…thats all straightened out and everything appears to be working great..

one bug im noticing now is in WP, in my Visual Editor [write post], all the icons that were once there (Bold, Italic, Font, Font Size, Add Link, Add pic…etc.) that hole graphical bar dissappears…

i’ve narrowed it down to some kind of caching problem…because i deactivated the integration pluggin in wordpress.. removed the line of code in my wp-config.php…cleared my cache and the visual editor re-appears

now when i went back in to re-activate the bbpress integration plugin and got the bbpress back up, and go to check out my visual editor in WP, its there ! great!!! but just to be sure it wont go away, i clear my cache, refresh the page, and its gone again….any ideas?!!!?!

THANKS FOR ANY HELP MY NINJAS

Hey Allen, this is Allen. I found your fix here:

Can’t Login!

If anyone else has this problem you might need to add “www” in front of the URLs in the config file. I am guessing this is needed because of my redirection in the site’s root htaccess file.

Ok, I added data in the bb_forums table and now the forums come up. Yay! My problem now is that I can’t get into the forum admin section. When I installed bbpress, it found user “chanzero” and assigned my account as keymaster but when I log in it won’t show me the admin link, nor can i surf to /bb-admin/

I looked at my RoleID in wp_users and it’s 4, which I think should grant me access to BB admin?

[allenhenderson]

I just installed bbPress, ran the plugin for WordPress to integrate the users, and I cannot login as the administrator. I am using the password for wordpress (I’ve even reset it and re-installed bbPress to make sure I had the right one).

Trying to log in at the top just takes me to the login page. Trying to login on the login page just “resets” the page, with no option about recovering a lost password.

Is there anyway to reset / recover the password that bbpress thinks is my wordpress password? Does this sound like some other login problem?

[chrishajer]

Can you add this line to your config.php right after the 4 MySQL setting lines:

$bb->debug = 1;

That should provide some useful information. Not sure if it will help here though.

The bb_users table will not be created automatically. You’d have to copy it and the user meta tables from the WP ones.

The counts problem is strange, and not one I’ve heard of before. Do you any plugins installed?

[fel64]

Yeah, give it a shot.

[Nola1974]

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.

[chanzero]

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?

[chanzero]

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.

(Did I mention I got stuck in an elevator at my office for an hour last night? grrrr)

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/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter?replies=33

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,

Sam Hughey

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.
