I had a custom theme built for my wordpress site and it matches my CubeCart (which is in it’s own directory – wordpress is on site root). I am not proficient with this theme. Should I have someone do this for me or can I do this simply?

You can set the bbPress cookies to whatever you want to integrate with your site’s cookies. It is a matter of defining them in your config.php and can be found at:

Sorry, I can’t help with the tags. Maybe this will help: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/433

It is limited, never checked how many, but it’s

taken care of automatically.

?>

Not that I know of, and I know why it’s a problem (it messes up the layout when wide images are used.) Maybe just post the image parameters and ask people not to insert large images. Ban those who won’t comply

But maybe someone will consider the image size limits for a plugin.

Have fun

I’ve managed to create a plugin that adds titles to replies – and documented it. The plugin is available for download from my website:

http://www.classical-webdesigns.co.uk/articles/36_bbpress-plugin-add-titles-to-replies.html

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

One other thing, re:

“Preview sounds good – but better yet would be an AJAX thing that means you don’t even have to reload the page when you post. “

That’s what I meant by using the DOM. In fact there would be no need for AJAX even – by using the javascript DOM you can ‘preview in place’ the post you are currently working on. If users do not have javascript enabled, then graceful degradation would mean that a button to view the preview on a separate page would be visible.

Sounds like your admin is marked as a bozo, and you need to use this plugin: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822

You do not normally need to moderate all the admin’s posts.

[bbpressfans]

actually, I’m bbpress fans, even I dislike the bugs, so I try the latest version, 0.8.1, but It still have some bull shit function, why admin post new reply still need to be moderate? after logout show no new reply.

is it necessary?

so sorry I lost control myself for looking just a simple forum app for my blog.

why so hassle to use it.

Hello boys and excused for my bad English. I want to insert in sidebar of mine blog made in wordpress the total number of the topic of the forum bbpress that they find themselves in the rows statistics.php. How I must make?

Hi,

I want to integrate my (non-wordpress) site with bbpress. It is an easy jobb with punbb: You simply include a single file(common.php) in your pages and then you can use punbb’s functions.(link). Can it be the same thing with bbpress?

I need this because I want to show or hide a part of my web pages based on that my bbpress form’s user is logged in or not .

[Atsutane]

it seem to me u set $bb->mod_rewrite = true; Follow the instruction here and u will be fine

[Jonathan Landrum]

Just to be sure, I’m starting fresh so I should bash this:

mkdir forum

cd /forum

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

Right? Did I miss anything?

Edit: It was right. Thanks guys!

[chrishajer]

1. No, you can use the same database and that’s actually preferred if you want to integrate things with WordPress in the future.

2. Yes, look inside the config.php and you will see the lines for WordPress integration.

Please read here for more:

Did you put your custom themes into folder under the my-templates directory?

Have you viewed this sticky and this was no help?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/693?replies=2

Also, please provide a URL where this can be seen. Sounds like the path to the CSS is borked. The URL also helps someone determine what sort of hosting you’re using.

[Atsutane]

If u want to integrate your wp with bbpress then u should use the same database. But if u dont want, having new database also ok

[Atsutane]

Try this .. Live demo here

Get the file from here

[dcoffin]

I have WP installed already and running. I would like to try out bbPress.

Do I have to create a new database for bbPress?

or

Do I refer to the wp database in the config.php?

Hello, I am importing phpBB posts into a new bbPress forum, which will be integrated with WordPress. How can I do this with the least bit of headache? Thanks a ton!

[kfordham281]

Thanks teknoseyir! I was having this same issue and your solution worked great.

I’m trying to integrate bbpress with wordpress using a theme i created. The problem is:

My wp theme uses mootools. BBpress uses prototype. When I’m trying to include my template headers, neither my mootools, nor bbpress prototype functions are working.

Please help me with a solution. Of course, I can just disable thoose functions. But the second questions I got is:

Does bbpress really needs those ajax libs? Can’t those just be replaced with a smaller js function (used only for ajax http request, if this one is the only one bbpress uses so far)?

Please help!

Ohh, I forgot to tell that I’m using the mootools v1. The theme I’m trying to integrate both of them can be examined at http://www.e-stas.net/pm/

If punbb uses the same markup in posts that phpBB uses (the square bracket things) maybe a few changes to phpbb2bbpress can give you a direct conversion script. I could have a look if you provide me with a database dump from punbb. Also, if you are trying multistep conversions, there’s a script to go from SMF to bbPress

[chrishajer]

I think it would be really cool if there were a team working on writing importers to get as many people as possible involved with bbPress.

[Hoot]

I read another topic that was trying to convert from punbb to BBpress and they suggested convert to phpbb then to bbpress, but I am having troubles converting to phpbb, It gives me errors when I try and convert the members list (the phpbb forums haven’t helped yet) so I was hoping someone could help me convert so I could get on to BBpress asap.

[lonemadmax]

From what I see in topic 856, it seems I’m late again. Does your last message mean that everything’s OK now? I still don’t understand how the cache of 3 different browsers conspired against us, so maybe there’s a problem with the script. Maybe a recount is needed after use. Or it does something wrong to the database under some circumstances, I don’t know. I can say that I didn’t have your problem, but I’ve only tested with bbPress 0.74 and 0.80, and barely enough to have a feeling that it worked (posting after the import is one of the few things I tried). And all feedback I’ve had has come from this topic, so if it is something in the script, you were the first to notice.

I hope you keep that image up Chrishajer because I made a TRAC ticket based on it!

Alright, I just went ahead and remove those two things. I’m planning on working at the Gathering theme for bbPress now… Thanks again Sam for everything!

UPDATE: I’ve decided to remove my MediaWiki, or better known as the Codex. I merely installed it to play around, customize, and get familiar with it.

The whole reason for removing it is, I really don’t have the time for it. I don’t have time to add anything to it, make a theme for it, and customize it anymore.

As for this article, it’s still a good reference guide as what To-Do for getting your MediaWiki, bbPress, and WP login/registration working together. I hope you find it as useful as I did. Well, I guess that’s it for now. Tata.
