Thanks for the encouragement.
Actually, fel64, your suggestion of reverse-engineering the HTML skeleton of a bbPress page to make standalone pages that can use the same stylesheets makes perfect sense and is probably what I’ll end up doing.
Hi!
You can use WordPress Pages inside bbPress. I’m testing an integration between bb and wp and it works flawlessly. Look for some posts about including wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php in your config.php.
Okay, I posted my issues to Trac. I’m a Trac newbie, so please be gentle if I broke conventions somehow. Feel free to correct or add to my descriptions:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/672
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/673
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/674
Not repeatable for me. Topics made since .8.2 in my active forums on Linux / php 4.4.4 I think have been made by a direct call to bb_new_topic(), and under xampp topics made normally also do not have this problem.
Riddle: do please add these to trac if you haven’t already. Login is the same as here.
I’m a little confused. The word “portal” is such an overloaded term that I’m having trouble seeing what bbPortal *does*.
Does it simply add a distinct front page to a bbPress install? Can it be used to supplement bbPress with freestanding pages under separate tabs? Or something else entirely?
I’ve looked back at other bbPortal posts, gone to bbportal.org, etc. and still don’t quite get it. Thanks for any light you can shed.
It’s not off topic at all to talk about WordPress. I’m saying that the development of the two products is very much done in parallel, so if a decision is made about how tags should be inputed in WordPress (which is likely at this stage as tags are in development in WP), then that will likely affect the bbPress implementation. Perhaps you will get a better answer asking on the developers mailing list or by submitting a bug report on the Trac site.
The SVN address is https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/
You can also browse that address with a web browser and find specific plugins.
Latest versions of individual plugins are in:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/<plugin-name>/trunk/
for example:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/support-forum/trunk/
Is there a way to do standalone pages in bbPress, like the undated “pages” in WordPress?
I’m starting a new project which must consist of a discussion board plus a small set of freestanding pages. The forums and pages need to have the same look and appear as tabs in a coherent navigation structure. I don’t need the freestanding pages to be in a user-friendly CMS, although it would be nice. I’m trying to decide whether to use bbPress alone, bbPress+WordPress, or something completely different.
I was attracted to bbPress in the first place because I thought I could use WordPress’s undated “pages” feature to supplement the forums. But now I gather from other posts that bbPress+WordPress integration is far from straightforward.
So, is there any easy way to present freestanding pages which are uniform in style with bbPress? Or should I give up and go with the competition? (I’m also looking at Drupal, ugh.)
I have a question about the plugin fel64.
What will happen in bbPress if the post is paginated? Generally, every post on my site is 3 pages (for a reason), but I would only like the first page to be submitted to bbPress. Is this possible?
Anyone know how to install a plugin from https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/ through SVN? Can’t seem to find the URL to checkout from…
i think i figured it out. just make sure that in your config.php in bbpress, you dont have slashes at the end of $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_site_url
My bbpress folder is inside of my wp folder, but when I login to wp and then click on bbpress, i have to log in again. is there an easy fix?
should i do what this topic says?

Look at the Forum Restriction plugin post for info on how to fix the admin page and the keymaster problem.

The bozo field when editing a profile still is not a checkbox, but is otherwise fixed.
I just upgraded and “the bozo:1 thing” appears to be fixed.
RatherBeBiking: I’ve reponsed to your query in the bbPress forum “Plugin: Avatar Upload” topic.
Anyone have the syntax for checking out plugins via the repository at http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/ ?
I’ve tried every possible permutation I could think of and still no go…
YAY!!! I figured it out!
<?php global $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_identity == ”) {
echo(‘Welcome Guest’);
} else {
echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘.jpg” alt=”avatar” />’);
}
?>
Hi, I am trying to install bbpress for the time. The installation process seems to be working fine but when I use the forum it is not working correctly. I can not access my profile, and when I write a new post I am taken to Apaches 404-page.
Trying to access my profile at the url http://ip/~xxx/xxx/bbpress/profile/1:
The requested URL /~xxx/xxx/bbpress/profile/1 was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I also get the same message after posting, but when I return to the forum the new post is created. So I guess the database is working at least.
The URL in the error message is shorter then the real URL. Currently I use http://ip/~xxx/xxx/bbpress/ but the error message the ip is not shown.
I am using the ip while waiting for som DNS stuff with the domain. Can that be the problem, using ip/~ ? Or do you think it might be something else? I am clueless, but the is not so strange since I am a newbie here.
quigley05,
Try http://pastebin.ca/582386 as your main .htaccess file and delete the .htaccess file in the bbPress directory.
patrace – What theme are you using? It looks great!
Well crap.
I tried to upgrade to the new version of bbPress today, and now my entire setup is, well, broken. All I get from the forums is “Doesn’t look like you’ve installed bbPress yet, go here.” yet I have already installed them (it gave me this earlier, so I went in, cleared the database tables as there wasn’t anything important in the forums yet, and reinstalled completely) and have confirmed this by checking the database to make sure everything was there. Now I can’t post anything in WP because every time I try, the bbPress install gives me the same “Doesn’t look like…” message. I’ve gone ahead and disabled bbSync until I can figure out what is up.
Yeah, in your theme’s template file register-success.php. It’s not bad grammar, it’s actually a bug; it should read
Your registration as Username was successful.
I’ll go submit a trac ticket.
Make that “I’ll go have submit a trac ticket which are #669.”
i believe another problem (and this might be an integration issue) is that the users who have either logged in to bbpress using their wordpress logins (myself, Trent and one other user) or have attempted editing their profiles have had their emails within wordpress changed to “1”. that’s it, just the number 1 which would explain why I did not receive an email when both Trent and mdawaffe signed up for the site.
