Thanks Sam for getting back to me so quickly. I forgot to escape an apostrophe with a forward slash in the name for the forum.
New version added which seems to work. The whole implementation is a little unsavory though – passing HTTP auth to a PHP cookie – feels like double handling.
http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/http/http-authentication.latest.zip
Someone who cared a little more about how this works would bother to replace all the cookie based auth completely.
I’ll add this to the plugin repository too.
Check your apache error log for PHP errors using tail.
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
On the command line.
My development machine is a local install of Apache/PHP/mySQL on my PowerBook running under OS 10.4.9.
I’ve tried installing bbPress within a folder of my wordpress installation for a project I’m working on, but I’m getting blank pages from bbPress (ie. no content at all – just a white page). WordPress installed and works fine, but I can’t even get to the point of installing bbPress.
I’m running PHP 5.1.6 and mySQL 5.0.22-standard.
Anyone got any suggestions on how I can get content showing on the pages?
I have integrated bbpress with wordpress without problems.
To have the same header in bbpress and word press I include
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
in the config.php in bbpress, then I edit the header.php (bbpress) with some wordpress functions.
It’s runs ok, but the bbpress admin interfase can’t load.
There are some comments about?
Haha. All I know is… after wiping the database clean of the bbPress tables and files/folders and such in the htdocs folder for Xampp Lite/ localhost … tried to install it fresh again… it went just fine, except for that Stylesheet URL issue…. 
Not sure why, or what’s going on with it.. but apparently she’s holding a grudge against Xampp Lite and the localhost… damn bitch!!!! LOL! Nah, just kidding folks!

Many people including myself have implemented the themes of bbPress and WordPress by actually making a theme in bbPress that looks like WordPress. There is information creating theme available here. As well, doing what you wanted has been tried and documented on these forums before, so I would suggest a quick search. I know so10 has a patch on his site at:
http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/
Hope that helps!

An example: I have WP on http://www.loinhead.net/ and bbPress on http://forums.loinhead.net/. It works without problems for me and was very little work to set up.
You should certainly understand the integration process before installing as there are several key things you have to do differently – your config.php configuration will be very different, for example. If you have already installed bbPress then I think you will have to get rid of it and install it again, but integrating this time.
If you need help at any specific part of the process, feel free to ask here.
Also in mathematics integration is the opposite of differentiation.
The easiest way to add tags with spaces is to post the topic then add tags one at a time in the top right-hand-corner of the thread (next to the post title), which are not space delimited (must be added one at a time though!).
No plugins for any of those as far as I know. BBPress is great but perhaps a solution with (currently) more features and plugins like phpBB is for you.
That’s not a big problem, it can be done with a patch: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/698?replies=40
Hopefully this will be in a major release soon.
hi.
everything works well but i just cant add header from wordpress. i add to my bbpress config:
require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ )
my directories look like this:
/wordpress – here is the wordpress
/wordpress/forum – here is the bbpress
whats wrong ?
and i want to remove ‘views part’ .
I wasn’t asking to remove the whole ajax staff.
I was asking to reduce it. Once we need only ajax http requests feature, why we should use the whole lib?
Can’t we just write a function for that?
It would be also great to had the possibility of including or not including any ajax libs in forums API, those already predefined and distributed with the bbPress or WordPress?!
Still unresolved…..
You can get the file at: http://e-stas.net/files/fc.php/1
The version I’ve tranlated: 0.81
I will also support this translation once bbPress will be upgraded.
Thank you guys for a wonderfull bbs.
I’ve hacked together a first draft of “HTTP authentication for bbPress” using the LDAP authentication plugin as a model.
This is completely untested, but the basic premise is that you set up HTTP authentication on the entire bbPress install. The plugin handles the rest. You will need to install and turn on the plugin before setting up HTTP_AUTH though.
Download from here.
Do a search for ‘strike’ as we discussed the method to add in extra tags a few weeks ago.
Hi,
I’m new to bbpress, and I’m trying to install it. I already use wordpress. There are lots of posts that talk about integration, but I’m not sure what ‘integration’ really means.
Is there a site where I can look and see an example of ‘integration’? What are the benefits? How do a BLOG and FORUM integrate? Thank you!

This fix didn’t work for me. Instead of getting the “1” in the textbox I was getting before, now I get just a 1. I have tried removing it, changing to 0, all, but to no avail.
I’m the keymaster! It makes no sense that the keymaster can get bozoed.. Oughtn’t this be disabled?
I was able to remove it only by going into the database and manually altering isBozo to 0 after installing this fix.
ISSUE NOW RESOLVED. I have reinstalled bbPress, this time using only a pure text editor (TextWrangler) and a different FTP client. Before I was using Dreamweaver as my interface, and you would think, after years of web work and experience with DW’s thug-like behavior with relative paths, that I would have known better.
By the way, upon reinstalling without using DW, I did not have the initial reverse-slash issue. In other words, I am not having to use the path-to-url plugin, with or without its subsequent tweak.
By the way 2: I know this would be a “duh” comment for many, but just in case it helps someone avoid the problems I had: When running bb-admin/install.php, in the field where it calls for your web site, do not enter a trailing slash. I tend to add one out of habit, and I think that was the cause of some of my earlier problems.

I couldn’t find what a Bozo was either.

Last time I checked (about a minute ago ) I was still a man.
Glad it worked for you as well.
Since I only downloaded BBpress today this hack comes with “use at own risk warning”. Don’t know what other effects it may have on other parts of the script. Saying that, it works ok for me so far.

Have a look at my post at the bottom of the thread.
Same problem and not solved by the plug-in. A few tweaks and now works great.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/700/page/2?replies=48
Testing bbpress on localhost (xampp, windows) and viewing with firefox I get the same error in the stylesheet link.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/leebbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />
Created the plugin as Trent suggested but that didn’t solve the problem. Played around with the code a bit and now it does work.
Here is my hacked version.
<?php
function fix_bb_path_to_url( $url ) {
$url = str_replace(array('//', '\\', '\'), array('/', '\', '/'), $url);
return preg_replace( '|
([^/])|', '/$1', $url );
}
add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );
?>
Only difference is adding ‘\’ to the str_replace.
