It’s possible, but I think it’s difficult (much work).

What about making a template which looks the same as your XHTML document? (Featuring the same menus, navigation system etc. as your XHTML document). Then the bbPress forum looks like it’s integrated without being so.

[suleiman]

thanks for the hack vincent, I’m glad to see you got it integrated into bbpress. I’m using your hack myself

Warnings in PHP are just that: warnings. They don’t prevent things from working. You should not show warnings on a production site.

http://www.php.net/error-reporting

So, the problems you are having are likely NOT due to those warnings. What are the problems you have with the forum, aside from and ignoring those warnings? Maybe you have a bozo problem (where your posts don’t show up.)

What can’t you do on your forum? What version of bbPress are you using?

Hi, i’ve downloaded bbPress because i’m a lover of WordPress amb because i like bbPress very much. But now i’im in a big trouble.

I want to integrate bbPress in an standard XHTML website with any line of WordPress code, and so i need to know how i can integrate it from the beggining of the process.

Now i’ve just installed bbPress in a url rute like /mydomain.com/bbpress but i need to be shown in a basic xthml document, like mydomain.com/phorum.php

How can i do this?

I think it’s possible, but can you help me?

Regards guys from Mediterranean sea.

I’m waiting a good response form you as soon as you can, thanks guys.

Read this!

Of, thank you guys for reply…

@Trent

I’m sorry, maybe I did not explained myself clearly:

I appreciate the thing that developers like the accessibility given by ajax, and are using this in their application, but the point was to leave the core functions that are for displaying content (like wp_list_pages(); for example in wordpress) outside of ajax.

You’re right wordpress uses ajax in the core but the templating part and the content is not affected at all (only the admin CP). This way we have ajax but only where it is really necessary.

Sorry for bugging, I do understand that my problem is not the #1 priority of the project team but I was thinking maybe there is any solution, thats why I reported that. Sorry …

@Null

Maybe the problem was in the marketing. bbPress was from the start advertised as perfectly compatible and easy to be integrated with WordPress. That is a great advantage, because WordPress is already one of the most usable publishing platform on the web, and people like everything that comes with it – as a result they took bbPress as an another plugin for giant. =]

And everytime a visitor writes a comment in that wordpress posts, it will appear as a post in that bbpress forum? (and vice versa)

Unfortunately that bb Post plugin only toasts your bagels but doesn’t put anything on them. It’ll send WP blogposts as new topics on your forum, but comments/replies aren’t integrated. Someday.

A small, 18+ forum community for my online friends . I belong to alot of forums and wanted to run one of my own that was 18+ and more low-key then the typical XMB, SMF and PHPbb forums out there. I wanted a script that could have as little or as much as I wanted through plugins without all the un-necesary bloat and bbPress does that for me !

I’m using my own modified theme off of Kakumei.

Plugins include:

– Allow Images

– Avatars

– Memberlist

– Post Count

– BBCode

– Forum Restriction

– Onlinelist

– Since Last Visit

– User Time Zones

– Category Patch

A few more plugins and the forum will be exactly what I’m looking for.

[thierryyyyyyy]

on 2diabolos.com, everything is working fine. And actually, my wordpress plugin allow me to make what you propose (cookie_domaine = ‘.2diabolos.com’ and cookie_path = “/” for wordpress and bbPress)

But on “localhost” (my computer), cookie_domain = “false” and cookie_path = “/” works fine for the front-page, but not for topic pages … that’s not normal (to my opinion). But perhaps someone have an explanation ….

[providencebooks]

Thanks. I will try this and let you guys know how it turns out.

[Nola1974]

Crazy little thing, that google. First result.

The bbPress post plugin? The one that makes a new topic for every blogpost? That also integrates comments/replies?! How? I’ve got that plugin and I’d love it if I could figure out how to do it!

[fel64]

Not sure what the DXX theme is, but if it’s the one you’re using on your site yeah it’s ultra-easy.

First of all, don’t try to force bb into the WP theme … that rarely works. Your best bet is to open (or make if it doesn’t exist) your my-templates folder and start a new theme by making a new folder (call it dxx or something). Go back up into your main bb folder, open bb-templates > kakumei and copy style.css, then paste it into your new my-templates > dxx folder.

Using CSS you can then modify how your page looks (not what’s on it though). The basic way to do css is like this:

html element {

property: something;

}

For example, the code to colour links red with NO underline is like this:

a {

color: red;

text-decoration: none;

}

To change the way your forum looks, you therefore open the copy of style.css you made and change properties like that. There’s much more info at http://www.w3schools.com/css/. That is all you need to know.

So for example, what you would do for your theme is make links blue and no underline, make the header green, change the background of the page and put a border on the main div element. Some knowledge of HTML will be helpful but you can also pick this up.

Is it possible with a plugin (or existing functionality?) to create a bbpress forum topic everytime a new wordpress posts is made? And everytime a visitor writes a comment in that wordpress posts, it will appear as a post in that bbpress forum? (and vice versa)

Cheers all!

[Trent Adams]

Just through plugins I think. I know mdawaffe is using more wordpress functions in bbPress and maybe there might be more things that would be considered tighter integration. The bbPress-Post plugin already has the comments of WP controlled by bbPress, so that is why I speculate that it will be done through plugins.

Trent

[albert4000]

This one too:

http://www.informedbanking.com/resources/forums/

Its not nearly as big as Technorati but I’ve been tweaking it slowly but surely, integrating it in with a custom CMS / Wiki, WordPress, and now bbpress.

Thanks for the awesome software. I sent in a patch of themes.php last night – it needs a urldecode() in the current subversion revision.

[Nola1974]

If anyone is using ‘ Avatar pluginsuleiman, here’s a hack I use to show the WPMU’s avatar in BBPress:

In post.php, after the <small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small> bit I use the following:

<?php

$userid = get_post_author_id();

$wp_avatar = '/full/path/to/public_html/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';

$wp_avatarURL = '/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';



if (file_exists($wp_avatar)) {

echo '<img class="avatar" src="'. $wp_avatarURL.'" />';

}

?>

Probably not the most elegant, but it works:

Well I think I may pass at doing that one myself. I am working on a much simpler site and am using the DXX theme (my site is http://www.maconcardeals.com ). How would I make this theme work for bbPress? Is it easy? I mean for an ultra rookie?

[eware3000]

Nice work. I just downloaded bbpress today. Actually I’ve been downloading forums all day. This is the first one that seems simple and uncluttered. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[Null]

I also think people should realize that bbPress isn’t dsigned to be a plugin for WP in any way and the developers should keep in mind to not develop too much towards this too.

It’s a standalone forum, fast and light and should stay this way

[archasek]

in wordpress ofcourse yes. in bbpress there is not polish lang file (as i know).

yes i have plugin and js in my-plugins folder. tomorrow i’ll check it in my default.

in my wordpress, in adminpanel i also don’t have quicktags panel in visual mode in my adding post site. may it has something in common with bbpress plugin?

[Trent Adams]

No Maintenance Mode for bbPress. Could be a pretty simple plugin to write though. Any takers?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I know that you are frustrated cool2sv because WP and bbPress both use different AJAX, but it really only matters when you are doing what you are trying to do with running them both at the same time. Most users won’t be affected by this same problem you are having.

I am not saying what the developers of bbPress has done is 100% the right direction with AJAX in the core, but it was designed to be standalone and work that way. The WP integration was with logins and not developed to have them sharing libs. I have passed this on to mdawaffe, but the redesign of bbPress and its use of AJAX in the core most likely won’t be the #1 priority. WP uses AJAX in the core and so does bbPress. So which one should be blame? Automattic developers like AJAX in the core!

**Edit** As well, you could sent your request into the bbDevList as well. Just head over to the about page for the address!

I answered your other thread about this. There seems to be packages out there that automatically install all 3 components for you and to be quick (detailed explanation over other thread), no, bbPress and WP will never be a single install unless someone 3rd party does it (say a web host).

Trent

[Trent Adams]

If you have a local computer with windows or a Mac, you can always have the install of WAMP or an install that is similar. Do a search for apache, php and mySQL local windows install in google and you will find that there are many packages out there that can run them on your local computer instead of IIS. Packages like WAMP have all the packages together and a walkthrough on getting them all installed.

As for bbPress and WordPress installation together, I am involved with WP as well and can for sure tell you that they will never be packaged together for a single install unless someone makes their own release of the 2 packages together, but will not happen from Automattic because they are run completely seperate.

Does that help?
