Read my posts above with regards to running bbPress in a sub-directory and having WordPress mod-rewrite rules in the parent directory.
Another update:
I just wrote an add-on to my WP plugin, and it works with BBPress. It relates to the post author, just like the WP plugin related to a post or comment author. It even uses IDs which turned out to be the same in both my installs. I have two users and they did migrate.
Now why am I having the login problem?
Anyone have a workaround?
Holy cow! I stand corrected. I didn’t need any of that. The BBPress guys were right.
I just tried changing every THE, like the_author, with post, like post_author. I just noticed it was called in the post template with post and not the. Holy cow I can’t believe I did that. So simple.
So as soon as I get my upcoming designs site up, I’ll have this and other plugins available for download.
Right now, if anyone wants an avatar plugin that works in WP, WPMU, and BBPress (but only if its integrated), reply! It’s actually a WP plugin but only when BBPress is integrated. I made it that way so it can require_once my main plugin, which is obviously for WP.
So if you want avatars in both, my plugin should be nice!
I’ve got to get to work on my site!
I want to hook, et whatever, into the author id of a post to make my avatars plugin work with BBPress.
The docs just say it’s the same as WordPress, but not exactly. The tags are different and my original plugin doesn’t work anyway (or perhaps it’s an integration problem with my installs. I’m running MU).
I’m looking for equivalents like these or anything related
$the_author = get_the_author_id();
Where are the docs for the plugin API, basically? I don’t require you to look into what exact hooks, etc. I need, just lead me to info. If you want to do more, that’s fine, too. 
Hi,
We’re using bbPress 0.8.2.1 integrated with WordPress 2.1.3. Before upgrading to 0.8.2.1 everything was ok. But after upgrading, something has broken.
bbPress cannot count these values properly:
– Numbers of topic and the messages of a member in his profile. (For example, a member who had 6 pages of messages in his profile, has only 1 page now)
– Number of “topics with no replies, topics with no tags, unresolved topics” values are wrong. Each has less pages now.
– In admin panel, the number of members is not accurate. bbPress says there 714 members; but this value is 6109 (this is the correct one) in WordPress.
What can be the problem? I can tell the plugins we use, if necessary to solve the problem. Thanks!
An update:
I don’t think my integration in general is working too well, because my avatar from my own avatar plugin is not displaying my user’s av. Of course this could be my plugin, and perhaps I need to work on an integration for THAT, too – ha ha.
But I’m really worried about my MU integration..
Looking closer I think it is the plugin in the sense that the post doesn’t bring up WP-type post code, but BBPress and the plugin doesn’t have that written. It’d have been nice for it to be more integrated on its own. I read others use their plugins on the forum pages. Sigh.
I was able to import it perfectly, except now I cant log in with any of the usernames and after I had the new password generated, the admin account from SMF doesn’t have admin privileges on the bbpress board.
has anyone tried hacking this to limit the types of embeds.. say, make sure it’s only from x-tube/youtube/etc… maybe a url check?
I searched, but there were only similar problem and another (only similar) MU problem was not replied to.
I have an MU site I’m building and I installed BBPress for it. Everything’s fine except for this issue. I installed the three integration plugins, and I logged in to the forum with my WP info and it shows my display name.
But here’s the thing. (This is not a browser thing but I find it funny to note I can see both instances of the problem at the same time..) In Firefox I’m currently logged into the forum and not WordPress, in IE it’s the opposite. If I log in to WordPress, it doesn’t log me into the forum and vice versa.
I want to get rid of BBPress’s logging system altogether and especially the registration, because I don’t want to chance it that it won’t work for my MU, like I read in another thread.
Currently I know this will be very annoying to my users, and I don’t want that.
Any help? Thanks.
I’ve been working on updating a theme to be more ‘navigable’. I found the new_topic function could not be used when viewing a topic, so I modified the function to return a proper ‘Add New Topic’ link when called from a topic view (topic.php)
The code changes can be found in ticket 736:
http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/736
Here I added a ‘New Topic’ link in the topic meta section:
http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/coaching-youth-soccer
I need to go back and change the bottom into a table like I did with the FutureKind theme. That will solve both the border on the headers and the spacing is an easy fix with line-height. I haven’t released it because I still have to clean up some CSS laziness that I did and put in some conditional code for bb-topic-views (so it will still work right if people don’t have it installed)
The server load on dreamhost is always wrong (as with their microtime so the page render time is always wrong). Dreamhost uses a NFS filesystem where the files are remote from the server the code is executing on. So if there is a file queue, the load will be artificially high, it’s not CPU load, it’s disk load (which affects the overall load numbers).
I only paid $20 for that dreamhost (for a year promo) and will not be renewing. It’s mind-boggling that some people pay over $100 a year for that hosting.
I put together a plugin that will allow you to include navigation links to flip forward or backward through forums and/or topics within a forum.
http://plugins.baptiste.us/plugins/nav-links-for-bbpress/
This is a first stab. No online config, etc. yet – just the main code to get the right links and forum/topic IDs. I hope to add some things to it and improve the API a bit to let templates get individual ‘next’ or ‘previous’ links.
I ended up having to do direct DB queries – I couldn’t find a way in the main bbPress code to get me the info I needed, but I’m not super familiar with the core code either so I may have missed something. But no functions or class methods jumped out at me.
I’ll post the bbPress plugin URL for it once it’s approved, but you can download it from the link above.
Here’s a look at what it does on a forum I’m still setting up/messing with.
Topic Nav – look in the meta section under the RSS link:
http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/test-topic-2
Forum Nav – look under the list of topics:
http://onthepitch.org/talk/forum/soccer-parents
Yes – I know the forum navigation disappears in forums with no posts – side effect of the action hook I used to insert (it seems to return without applying filters when there are no posts – which I guess makes sense if you’re figuring there’s nothing to ‘filter’. But many filers append 
)
This definitely makes navigation for my setup much easier.
hmm, good find _ck_! I hope they fix it soon.
I currently have a phpbb board and I want to switch to wordpress/bbpress. I was wondering with the phpbb>bbpress script also move all my users over? Also when I integrate bbpress and wordpress will that also allow my users to keep their same username across all three installations?
When are you going to make kakumei too available _ck_ ? I’ve been drooling over it for a week or two now
Aha! It’s nice, I think it needs a small bottom border on the Views and Hot Tags headers, you know, like the other headers 
.
Again, I think the list of views could use a bit more space between lines.
Seriously, what’s with your serverload O_O. Do you want some free hosting for that stuff? It’s not healthy to live in a server with 9+ server load.
Just tossing your post a bump because I would like to see a plug-in that allows for greater customization of profile page. I am using BBpress for a guild forum and it would be really useful to add a screenshot of their character and links to their armory profile etc.
Oh sorry, I’ve created a new main theme so this one isn’t visible anymore by default.
However thanks to a theme switcher I pieced together you can now see it this way:
http://bbpress.dreamhosters.com/forums/?bbtheme=kakumei-too
(I’m calling it “Kakumei Too” for lack of a more creative name right now)
You can switch to other themes using the toggle in the bottom right.
This is definitely worth doing. bbPress needs to have template functions that allow you to get the ‘next’ or ‘previous’ forum and topic. This would allow themes to include nice navigation links like ‘Next Thread’, ‘Next Forum’ instead of always having to jump to the front. WordPress does this for posts.
I’ve looked all around and I’m just not seeing anything like this.
I’m going to mess around with some code – it looks like the BB_Walker has a stepping ability built in that SHOULD make this pretty trivial, but I’m still getting comfortable with the inner bbPress classes and such. I’ll post here if I come up with anything. If anyone else has tried this or knows of a plugin that exists already – let me know. I couldn’t find one. Again – this isn’t pagination when you have lots of posts/threads. This is when you are in a topic or post view, being able to navigate to the next post, thread, or forum – i.e. like flipping pages of a book.
I just discovered something and wanted to run it by the forum. I agree…when I registered in bbPress and then logged into WordPress as the administrator, that new registrant was not given a role.
However, after I actually logged on as the new person and then logged BACK on as the administrator to see what was what…the person’s role was actually changed to “Subscriber” – my default role in WordPress.
So, if this is true, and I’m not missing something that could catch me up…it seems that this whole issue might be mute. Once the user actually logs in, their role is set as the default role so their rights are restricted by that role.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I perhaps missing something that I’m really going to regret if I don’t fix this?
Thanks,

No I don’t mean a folder within a folder, that’s just fine and not a problem. I mean executing one within the other where they are both running at the same time on one page. That’s a huge amount of code and memory for any server, shared or dedicated.
The nice thing about the registration and login process is you can route back to any page you want as the wordpress system is much more developed. I have the code around here somewhere and posted it before…
see #5 on the list in this post:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-intregation-between-wordpress-038-bbpress-not-work?replies=7#post-10428
Two things:
I DO have my bbPress folder running inside my WordPress folder. You’re thinking this is a bad idea??? Any suggestions as to why? I thought I read on here that it wasn’t a bad idea to this. I probably read wrong though……
Second — if my bbPress IS actually inside my WordPress folder, any other ideas why I’m getting the error message?
I guess one more (sorry)…if you’re forcing all registration links to go to WordPress, where does this process take your users after they register? Back to bbPress? To WordPress? That might work…but for my site, I’d need it to go back to bbPress; I’m dealing with a lot non-techies and any weirdness will throw them for sure. I need to try and make it as easy as possible for them.
Thanks again for any help,
K
Ah apparently Detective’s method is for sites running WP at the same time as bbPress (not just integrated, running within each other – which I do not recommend). So this won’t work for most people.
I solved the problem by forcing all registration links to go through WordPress but obviously that’s not a perfect answer (and needs core hacks).
So this problem needs to be revisted again
