There’s been some discussion of integrating WordPress, bbPress and MediaWiki before (“MediaWiki, bbPress, and WordPress integration” from spencerp and “Wiki Integration: WordPress & bbPress” from XXP), but this goes beyond authorization, because once users can log into forums, blogs and wikis with the same login, they naturally assume they can start mixing the wikitext they use on the wiki with forum posts and blog comments.
Zechs’ MediaWiki Markup for WordPress does precisely that–for WordPress. It seems to be working all right, but it’s not one of the plugins that magically works in bbPress just by dropping it in. I tried that. The general lack of documentation yet on writing plugins for bbPress does not mix well with the lack of documentation for this plugin, written by a fellow who seems to live a few blocks away from me, but for whom English is a second language.
So, given that I’m obviously not the only person trying to get MediaWiki and the *Presses to play nice, perhaps someone would be willing to point me in the right direction of where I’d get started getting this plugin to work for bbPress as nicely as it does for WordPress?
Welcome to bbPress! The first place I would start would be to look over the bbPress documentation because that has the information needed for installation, customization, integration with wordpress and all about themes!
After you get going, if you have questions along the way, do a search in the forums for similar problems that you are having and if you can’t figure out what to do, then go ahead a post a question back in the forums and we can try and help you out!

I’ve integrated the icons into the support-forum code. I’ll see if I can commit it.
Would someone guide me about the procedure to install bbpress on my server?
I am using wp 2.1 & my theme is anaconda 3 Column.
Kindly also suggest, how to integrate both: bbpress forum & my blog : http://www.medinmark.com/blog/
Here is a theme called Scene wich was first developed for Vanilla Forums and now adapted for pigmotel.com wich uses bbpress integrated with wpmu.

Like it?
so1o, In your recent update to support-forums, the upgrade function doesn’t work for me. I’ve made a patch for it that turns that function into a single SQL query, which should be a lot faster than looping through API calls and running queries one by one. Was there a reason that you didn’t just use a single query? I’ll post the patch if you like, or try to commit it.
Check out above site. It is running with
allow-images, bb-avatar, bb-memberlist, bb-post-count,
bb-privatemessages, display-name, forum-restriction and private-forums.
bbpress .80 with categories patch.
Akismet puts every post by me, the logged-in keymaster, into the spam queue.
Is there something I can do to prevent this? Could it have something to do with being integrated with WordPress?
I’m using bbPress 0.8 (although it did it with previous versions too).
im done..
let us know how it goes.. if you have any issues. create a ticket here
https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/newticket
and set component as support-forum
I upgraded to .80, and used the .80 version of the plugin, but unfortunately I am still having the same erorrs with wpmu integration.
At the top of my pm page it displays:
bbPress database error: [Table ‘suleiman_bbpress.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1
In addition, when I send a message it gives me the following error in the table displaying “Sent Messages” under the “To” column:
bb_get_user needs a numeric ID
Interestingly enough, if I go into phpMyAdmin and browse the bb_privatemessages table, I can see that my posts have values for pm_id, and id_sender, but id_receiver has a 0 value. So too, predictably does “seen”
bbPress has a function called bb_rel_nofollow() which can be added via filter to functions which output a link (… not functions that output a URL).
For example:
add_filter('post_author_link', 'bb_rel_nofollow');
Hi,
bbPress 0.80 is really nice, thank you. 
Turkish version of bbPress 0.80 is ready, we have a bbPress page on WordPress Türkiye.
Downloads and docs:
bbPress Turkish version 0.80 (whole package)
bbPress Turkish .mo file
bbPress Turkish .po file
Documentation
I don’t know anyone that has successfully done it (at least I can’t remember a post or anyone bragging about it), but I created a TRAC ticket for a future version on this issue:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/579
You might be able to play with rewrite-rules.php in the /bb-admin/ folder to get some direction on what to change in the meantime to play with it, but I don’t believe it is pluggable (for a plugin).

I’ve read some posts and it looks that lots of people want to play with their permalinks. WP handles great this link customization but I was unable to find anything for bbPress. Does anyone had any success with changing the mod_rewrite rules and modifying the current permalinks?
Thanx.
My hot tags only use the first, third and forth parameter. It only shows one size font. Any ideas on why the second parameter does not work.

I guess I don’t really have any ideas off the top of me head here. I guess it is hard to conceptially figure out why it is important to run the wp header in bbPress. Why not duplicate the wp header information in header.php in your bbPress theme (in bbPress format) and then each one automatically calls the content and stylesheet needed for its own content?
Even all the errors that you are recieving with the logged in parts would be gone if you used each header independant of each other. The systems knows the user logged in for both sites through the use of cookies and has nothing to do with the actual system calls.
The only importance would be in you plan on having wp content in bbPress side or vice-versa. But, if the content is only based on each side, the system does this by default.
Does that make any sense? I am really trying to really understand what you need to do a bit better so the solution will just ‘jump out at us!’
Trent
We all know that the AutoMattic guys use their own stuff, but after each site has been skinned with all their CSS magic, sometimes it’s hard to see… I thought we should savour the moment the wordpress.org forums ran with the default bbpress theme 
Great patch thanks. The instructions are clear and precise.

Thanks
Note -You must assign a category to all forums . Tested assigning only three of my forums at first —- syntax errors. Set them all and no errors.
The support forum functions were removed with 0.8 and so10 placed these functions into a plugin. I am sure there is only a few small changes that will not take very long.
Trent
Trent –
I’ll post the errors when I get home tonight. I think that it probably had to do with changes in the database, if I remember correctly I think it was with the “topic resolved” field?
Len
the topic resolved functions have been removed from the core bbpress distribution. but the functions are converted over to a plugin.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16
suleiman, i would suggest you to hold on and not install the plugin right away. I will be updating the plugin today evening . after that you can use the plugin and it will recognise all your topic statuses. I will put a note in this topic when it is done.
That is a good question. I have yet to test it on the most recent version of bbPress. I guess if nothing else you can run it on an install of 0.74 and get it working and then upgrade bbPress to 0.8 afterwards if nothing else. What were the errors?
Trent
