Check out the bbMenu plugin, it adds a menu to you bbPress. Don’t think it works with rtl, but perhaps you can convert the normal css (see plugin) to the rtl css
The plugin:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbmenu-12-released?replies=6
And to add a tab:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-addmenutab-10?replies=1
If any changes are needed in the rtl css and you make it work, let me know
I didnt know i cant leave email address on this forum, sorry about that. Now i need someone who can integrate BBpress to my existing portal. Any takers…?
My .htaccess located in /forums/ had a permission of 644.
I didn’t delete the htaccess, just disabled permalink.. so I still have the contents of the file (I pulled it directly from bbpress rewrite php file):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forums/
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forums/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

Did you follow the instructions to the letter? I know most people don’t have the correct permissions on their .htaccess file in the bbPress folder or don’t just put the 1 single line of code in for problems.

Do either of these plugins give you an idea or work for you?
Trent
Thanks for responding.. there was one problem I fixed here…
Noobish CSS Question
If you have few posts (and a lot of tags) the tag list would run off the page. While this is rare, it is common in cases where all but one of the forums would be private- new users would see the ugly tag overflow.
Thanks for a great theme… much appreciated.
It appears your server is Microsoft-IIS/6.0. When I access this page I get this error:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for bbPress.
Are you certain your server has MySQL installed? And if MySQL is installed, did you fill out the database details in the config-sample.php, then rename that file to config.php?
At first I thought it might be a syntax problem in the config file, which is a possibility too.
I need someone familliar with BBPress to integrate BBpress onto a portal that i am developing now. Pls email me at froots@gmail.com if anyone is intrested. Thanks in advance
I’ve got wpmu and bbpress both installed and working. I’ve also got the user databases integrated for the most part. Things work well so far for the most part. If a user registers through wpmu the user is created and they are also able to login to bbpress. However, if a user registers through the forum they are not able to login to wpmu because no role is set.
I installed the bbpress-integration plugin <http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/> to the mu-plugins directory which should fix the problem, no dice. I’ve read that some people just remove the bbpress registration and just make everyone register through wpmu to avoid this. That just seems dirty to me.
If anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear them
Hi there, here’s my first attempt on BBpress , although I have been pretty good at making website’s with WordPress but this was my first attempt to have a forum’s at my very new blog.
Here’s the link to my forums powered by BBpress.
http://www.aguywitha.com/_main/forum
I had a choice of integrating it with wordpress using the wordpress header and footer … but in my case i felt that designing a bbpress in itself like my wordpress theme was a bit easy for me as I was having some difficulties with integrating it with my blog interface … so I managed to make the default kakumei theme look my original wordpress blog theme … and integrate the users …
Although there will always be small changes being made on the forums as this was the first time i went through the BBpress code and I just love the simplicity.
Thanks a lot …
Where do I put this code? In bbpress/register.php somewhere I’m assuming?
Hi
i have a website.It has its own login system that use session and cookie. I want to add bbpress to my site. How can i combine these two different login systems.
When a user login (logout) to my site, he should login (logout) from forum automatically.
I noticed that bbpress doesn’t make use of conditions while wordpress and gallery2 do. I’m kind of frustrated so I’m just going to disable permalinks for now, but I believe that if wordpress and gallery2 work then bbpress should be able to work too. I haven’t figured out how, though; hopefully one of you can since this is a frustrating problem.
I have read the other threads on this forum, tried the suggestions there, and no matter what I do I can’t seem to get permalinks working for bbPress.
At first I had wordpress configured to run in the root of my site (while physically being in /wordpress/) and thought that might be messing up bbpress, which is in a subfolder, so I disabled that feature of wordpress and configured it to run from the same folder where it is installed.
Even after doing this, I haven’t been able to get permalinks to work. I have tried both option +multiviews and the output from the rewrite php file, both without success. The error I get is “No input file specified.” I am saving the .htaccess file in the root of my forums folder. My forum is installed at http://www.u77.cc/forums/ and I am hosted with goDaddy. Permalinks are working with my wordpress and gallery2 installs.
Thanks,
Hi,
I have made ja translation based on yours. Thank you!

How can insert image in bbpress?
I have the same thing. I tried everything. When i click on ‘show topic’ on my ne forum, or any other – i am redirected to main wordpress page.
The most stupid thing is that just after i installed bbpress, it was working. But after i was trying to integrate with wordpress – several bugs have occured, so i deleted bb and cleared the databe, but now after another install, it simply doesnt work, just like the topic says.
Hi Susan,
Is sounds like maybe the .php file extension on your computer has become “associated” with MS Picture It? If so, try changing the file association for .php on your computer.
I would start over. Download a new copy of bbPress and make the changes with a text editor like notepad or download a free copy of something like editpad.
Trent
Greetings, I downloaded BBpress, and when I went to make the changes I noticed that all the php files had be saved as “MS Picture It” files… can someone help me with this… changing the file extension does not help at all…
Thanks!!!
Susan
feature suggestion:
change the “install” column to “action” and in addition to the “install” link, create a “readme” link with a link directly to the svn readme. The full path and filename should already be known. If you keep it outside of trac, it can be viewed directly in the browser since the correct headers are sent.
ie. https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/plugin-browser-for-bbpress/trunk/readme.txt
optionally you could use the curl/fsockopen fetch and format the readme.txt into pretty html with colours and bold so it’s easier to read.
(you could then also include a direct download link in the “action” column so it would be three lines: “readme” “install” “download” )
@schmitt, Thanks for the feedback 
No I don’t have an SVN for the k2 BBPress theme, but what changes would you submit. Before posting please think about my following points.
(a) I have not yet implemented a “proper” tab bar , like the solution posted by Sabutay as “normal” users don’t like editing things…. what ever I implement as a template would be wrong for the majority of people.
(b) fam-fam icons, I do want to do, but I don’t want to unnecessarily bloat the theme, just installing a ccs file is kinda cool. Just using a css also makes the theme more “secure”, i.e. anyone who developed their theme from the original wordpress kubrick theme has had to keep releasing updates in order for the theme not to be vulnerable to XSS various attacks.
