I’m just throwing this in, but is it just me, or did I miss something, but I feel like work on bbPress has stalled? We haven’t had a new version in a while.

That’s a nice site, and I love the fact that you made a ‘fancy’ menu without using Flash. Also I really like the effect of that Start Selling badge . The colour for stickies in your forum is a bit dodgy though, it might look nicer if you used the sidebar orange for that (and for the green headers maybe).

I don’t understand the necessity to use WP headers, though. Surely the amount of work needed to standardise the header is far less when you just copy the code? That’s got poor maintainability I admit, but there shouldn’t be anything you need to edit often in templates and if you really needed it you could write and use some wrapper functions that would determine which stuff to load.

I agree that the user integration is satisfactory, however I would love to see a standardized method of doing the theme integration. The problem I had was that the wp/bbp precautions were layering, and lots of stuff was getting double escaped, etc. I could not complete a satisfactory integration without editing included core files, which did not make my sysadmins very happy.

[bbolman]

I definitely agree with you on the “it would be better if they worked right out of the box” bit. I feel like, while the user-integration was worked on pretty thoroughly at the beginning of development (and don’t quote me on this cause I’m just guessing) the theme integration aspect could have used a lot more work. The whole idea is that the two softwares should be able to just be thrown together and work for joe shmoe, but really, you have to have a pretty good idea of what you’re doing to really get it going.

[atomastro]

I also want to add some kudos to the bbPress project for including pagination out of the box, something WP sorely needs.

In reference to Vili’s post, this is how I did the integration for 2Checkout.com’s install of WP and bbP, however it still left something to be desired. There are occasions where POST or GET content is filtered more than it should be because both systems are running concurrently. Once this gets hashed out, I would have no problem using this for a professional project again, however the amount of work to get around this is currently prohibitive.

[atomastro]

Thank you very much. I have to say that the integration process (that is the full integration with the theme and all) was not straightforward or easy enough for the average user, I had to do some wacky stuff to get it working correctly on more than one occasion. This is currently the only problem I have with bbPress. Hopefully at some point, bbPress will plug right into a wordpress theme out of the box, or at least be much easier to do.

[bbolman]

Very nice. Great integration.

[atomastro]

I have recently completed the new 2Checkout.com, which is now using a fully integrated WordPress and bbPress install to run the homepage / community site. Everyone should have a look:

Awesome, quicktags will do for now… thanks!

Hi,

I installed bbpress and adapted the design, but now, when a users attempts to register or login, appaers a blank page or apparently does nothing.

When I reload the bbpress page (for example, http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress) the user appaers login it.

How can I do resolve the problem with blank pages? Thank you,

[Trent Adams]

In bbPress 0.8 and 0.81 (and below) it is just dropping the plugin file into /my-plugins/. When 1.0 comes out (hopefully soon), the plugins are activated in the admin area, but not right now.

They are automatically activated. If you do not see any change, perhaps they lack the functions which hook them into bbPress?

[brucewhittignton]

Sorry to be asking so many questions, but I’m having trouble finding answers to these basic questions and I figure it’s easiest to ask them one at a time. Also, I think I was seduced a little by how easy it was to get WordPress going. bbPress seems a lot harder. Anyway:

How do you add moderators? In the admin page, I can see who they are, but can’t add anybody.

Do I have to get the people that I am inviting as moderators to register themselves, and then I can go and change their privileges? Or can I somehow add them on my own (which is what I’d like).

Thanks!

I freaked-out last night and did a reinstall and closely followed all instructions on this site and http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-ultimate-bbpress-guide/. I believe most of my frustration has been caused by an ever-shifting hosting environment during this project. The domain has now resolved and everything is working nicely again (after re-install).

About those header errors: I did find whitespace at the end of wp_config.php. Those few invisible spaces kill me every time.

Now, on to outstanding misc. CSS issues…

Thanks for the help.

[dyaddydad]

Still giving me that error – Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d120217802/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cmdavatar.php on line 193

I just replaced Dan’s plugin with yours.

Thanks.

[dyaddydad]

Got ya! Thanks a lot.

[bozzy]

Yeah, I tried changing the width for secondary, but all that did was make the sidebar smaller. the line was still stretched across the whole page…

[Griffology]

Works great vilimaunula! I really love Dans/Vili avatar thingy It’s a nice solution.

[Vili]

Sorry for the confusion.

It’s a WordPress plugin. And no, you don’t need to install any avatar-upload thing, or indeed any other extra plugin to get this to work.

The function works both on WordPress and bbPress, but since it is a WordPress plugin (and thus a WordPress function) you will need to make WordPress functions available to bbPress. This is covered in the Integration with WordPress page in the bbPress documentation (see the last section, “Functions”).

I hope this clears things up a little.

[fel64]

No documentation. “1” means true, “0” means false. Sounds like you need the fix.

[brucewhittignton]

Thank you!

I have my wordpress install as the root of my website and then there is a folder beneath that for ‘forums’.

So, my directory structure looks like this:

/var/www/wp-config.php

/var/www/forums/config.php

In the bbpress config.php I have these (relevant) lines:

$bb->path   = '/forums/';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.website.com';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.website.com';

For yours, since you have WordPress at wp_01, you would have something like this:

/var/www/index.html <---- your website home, not WP home

/var/www/wp_01/wp-config.php

/var/www/wp_01/forums/config.php

your config.php:

$bb->path   = '/wp_01/forums/';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.intar.org/wp_01';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.intar.org/wp_01';

Ok, this time I deleted all the Media Wiki tables from the database, then reinstalled Media Wiki. This time, I didn’t use a prefix for the table names.

I uploaded Authpress.php and added the code to Localsettings.php.

Now when I try to login, I get these errors:

Warning: Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet supported in classes at offset 33 in /web/abc/abc/citizenkeith.com/forums/wiki/includes/User.php on line 224
