Hello.

I have a WordPress blog installed at:

http://www.mysite.com

And another (with another MySQL database) installed at:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog

I would like to install bbPress into my ‘otherblog’ like so:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/forums

Could someone just clarify what I should put in my config file (as I am getting confused about the correct URL to enter). I am also confused about integrating the BB into my blog. Last time I uploaded (FTP’d) the whole folder (i.e. the ‘bbpress’ folder) to:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog

Was this the correct location? Should have uploaded the contents of the ‘bbpress’ folder to this location or should it have been uploaded to:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/forums

Also, where exactly should I put the .htacess file (to enable permalinks), last time I put it in:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/bbpress

I’m sorry if these are simple questions but I don’t want to damage my existing installation of WordPress.

Kind regards,

MadDoc

I have custome made theme and template, so it probally going to take me a lot of hours to manually change everything in bbpress to wordpress. I am thankfull that you posted the above links. Hopefully it will save me some time.

[Trent Adams]

Yeah John, it would be nice for sure! The thing is that most people use bbPress standalone and not WP integrated. It isn’t too bad just getting used to CSS and editing the template of your theme at bbPress. Just changes to header.php, footer.php, front-page.php and style.css mainly! Good luck!

I am not sure of the actual path, but I would imagine that it will be in webspace formatting with forward slashes off localhost or whatever and off the actual server (web server that is) host. Better wait for someone else who has installed on a localhost to answer I guess, but I would imagine that path is not right in your config.php

[john24]

Thank you Trent. It would be great if bbpress did this automaticly. I am going to try those methodes.

[Trent Adams]

Here are a couple of good places to start (I have never done this, just edit CSS and template to match myself):

I just installed bbpress and now how do I get it to work within my current wordpress template?

[CMoseley]

I’m not sure exactly what your asking. I copied and pasted the code in my WordPress template into my bbPress template. Works fine in WordPress, gives me the above error in bbPress.

The code I used was:

<?php

if ($rs = aggrss('http://onctalk.com/wp-commentsrss2-custom.php'))

{

// dump the structure

//echo "<pre>";

//print_r($rs);

//echo "</pre>";

echo "<a href='" . $rs[link] . "' style='color: #000000; font-weight: bold;' >" . $rs[title] . "</a>";

echo $rs[description] . "<br />";



foreach ($rs['items'] as $item)

{

echo "<p><a href='" .$item['link']. "'>" . $item['title'] . "</a><br/>" .html_entity_decode($item['description']). "</p>";

}

if ($rs['items_count'] <= 0) { echo "Sorry, no items found in the RSS file <img src='http://www.soderlind.no/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt='' class='wp-smiley' /> "; }

}

else

{

echo "<!-- It's not possible to reach RSS file -->";

}

?>

I don’t know if I fully understand. You have your own template in /my-templates/kakumei2/ and that is all you should have to do. If that is your ‘bug free’ version of default theme, then you don’t have to copy over the default theme to /my-templates/ as it is the constant one that changes (hopefully bug free) into /bb-templates/kakumei/ and you shouldn’t worry about that one. Just the templates that you work on or change in your /my-templates/ directory.

I’ve copied bb-templates/kakumei/ to my-templates/kakumei2/ and started my own template in my-templates/kakumei2/ .

The kakumei2 template is basically bb-templates/kakumei/ so it will have the same bugs.

What to do now?

[mirce]

Lol,

I am preparing to switch from PHPbb to bbPress.

PHPbb has indeed many more MODs but its a nightmare when it comes to security and spam.

[Trent Adams]

As long as you have your plugins in /my-plugins/ and your template folders in /my-templates/ then you should be able to go and just overwrite the files from the download into your bbPress folder. The download files don’t have the things you need to protect:

.htaccess

config.php

/my-plugins/

/my-templates/

As long as all your changed files are in the folders, you can go ahead and upload!

I have my template in my-templates and made some changes to

I’ve made some changes to some files. The biggest changes are to the template files. How should I update now and not to loose the changes?

Thanx.

This sounds suspiciously like:

I think it was narrowed down to integration with WP by member: baptiste.

I don’t know if it was solved yet or why it happens, but it seems like we’ve talked about it before.

[flatworm]

if ( !defined('BBPATH') )

define('BBPATH', dirname(C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress' );



?>

Are this last lines correct if the path to my bbpress is: “C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress” ?

[CMoseley]

Just tried renaming the plugins folder and doing a test post, and the same thing happened.

I’m running bbPress 0.8.0.

Around a week or so ago, I ported over an RS Discuss forum to bbPress (which is what you see right now). Did it using just SQL Queries, so I don’t think it should have effected anything in bbPress.

[CMoseley]

I’ve setup bbPress succesfully and all that good stuff, but now I have this weird issue. Any normally “escaped” characters are showing up in all my and my users posts.

Example:

http://onctalk.com/bbPress/topic.php?id=165&replies=1

Not a clue whats cuasing it, but its pretty annoying, so any help would be appreciated.

Also, if I attemp to edit the post, then delete the slashes, they just reappear again, and if I left any existing slashes, more of them appear to escape the new “/” that was written in my edit post. (Which is why you see ///” instead of /”).

[macwise]

*bump*

Does anyone know how this can be achieved without doing a custom query. (using built in bbpress or wordpress commands)

[ccmve]

I think my problem is slightly different though since bbpress is incorrectly mixing the directory path with the URL and adding extra slashes.

>>The only thing I can say is: have you deleted all occurrences of ut8_encode? There are more than one.

I deleted all ut8_encode. You can see my script.

>>If so, please send it to antiswen at yahoo dot es (yep, es, not com).

I don`t know spanish (yahoo dot es?), that is why i put it on my blog.

I just got about a dozen links to comments made on bbPress New Version Release posts on the front page of my wordpress dashboard. They are also appearing on planet.wordpress.org – I assume it’s a bug?

[Trent Adams]

The TRAC version of bbPress has a fix in it that has it so Akismet doesn’t filter trusted users. The ticket is here. If you don’t feel comfortable upgrading at least the 2 files in question to the TRAC version, all you can do until this fix gets put in a release is set Akismet as false in config.php. I am not 100% if you can just take:

/bb-includes/akismet.php

/bb-includes/functions.php

Those 2 files out of changeset 722 and apply them and have this fixed, but I would backup those 2 files you have already and then try it out! If you are adventurous that is!

Trent

[fel64]

Have you entered all the right details in your config.php? Since you’re sharing databases it should have the same database info (name, user, password) as wordpress’s wp-config.php.

Yeah I call this a debugged version – Chrishajer sums it up nicely.

[kirkk]

To fix this, i have uploaded all my files and directories without installing them on localhost… First, i uploaded wordpress to my web server and installed it then uploaded bbpress and installed it on web server…

… before of that “above” , i had installed both of them on my localhost then i had uploaded them to my web-server, but that moment i had problems with slashes. Because there is an confusing section about slashes between the normal windows and web server…

And i recommend that do not change the folder name of your “bbpress” after u upload it to your web server . I tried it two or three times after i installed both of my wordpress and bbpress on my web server, it caused slashes to head backwards…

Now i have solved all my problems

forward to hearing from you with the same

(sorry for my english if i made any mistake, it is not my first language)

There has yet to be a user registration approval plugin and hopefully there is one soon! In the meantime, some users have been using the admin create user plugin so that they can turn off registration and only have the admin create users through the admin. This is the only thing even close right now!
