– Login Redirects to last visited page
It seems to me that if you are integrated, both bbPress and WP use the wp_users table in the database so wherever you login will be redirected to the last visited page (as both programs do this now). It is easy to have th login in the header.php of your template in bbPress and just adding the login box to WP in sidebar also has login on every page.
– Display selective content based on which side the user’s on (bb vs wp)
Once again, I think this is done by default. WP has its theme and content. bbPress has its theme and content.
– I seem to be having some issues with relative paths? (Actually, I think I may have just figured this out, and I may just be dumb)
Relative paths are easy to figure out, we can go into this more if you didn’t get it.
– Some other thing I’ll ask about in 7 minutes or less, I’m sure…
Shoot. That is what we are here for.

Thanks again. Hey, since I have you here, maybe I can ask you a quick one…I’m looking for a way to display content solely based on whether it’s a wordpress page or a bbpress page. For instance, I would like to have the login controls for the wordpress site be in the sidebar when wp is loaded, and the bbpress controls there when bb is loaded.
I imagine it wouldn’t matter which way the user logged in, but there are a few things I would like which I haven’t been able to achieve due to the way I have to put absolute path for redirects, etc. Here are the features I need, maybe you can suggest a more elegant solution for them?:
– Login Redirects to last visited page
– Display selective content based on which side the user’s on (bb vs wp)
– I seem to be having some issues with relative paths? (Actually, I think I may have just figured this out, and I may just be dumb)
– Some other thing I’ll ask about in 7 minutes or less, I’m sure…
I’m a beginner, but not a newb. (anymore). I feel I am getting a pretty good grasp, but I still get confused now and again. Thanks for any feedback you can give.
Looks like the table is there and you’re running into the WPMU bug that I believe Trent and/or spencer talk about in this thread.
Actually, spencer posted a fix for it here :
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/401/page/2?replies=66#post-2733
Sorry about the bug. I highly suggest upgrading to .80 as soon as that version of bbpress is released. It addresses that issue.
Every one here knows about bbPress’ annoying “-1 years” time bug. I’m sorry to say that, because of some server reconfigurations, that bug has struck here at bbPress.org (oh the irony!).
I am very pleased to say that this should no longer be an issue in the upcoming bbPress 0.8.
Thanks guys – I’ve installed .73 and we appear to be closer. It now at least renders the page but still doesn’t create the database table and hence gives the follwoing error…
bbPress database error: [Table ‘db189779439.p2tbb_privatemessages’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM p2tbb_privatemessages WHERE id_receiver = 1 ORDER BY created_on DESC
bbPress database error: [Table ‘db189779439.p2tbb_privatemessages’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM p2tbb_privatemessages WHERE id_sender = 1 ORDER BY created_on DESC
Can I just manually add the table to the database? I have bbpress integrated with Word Press if that makes any difference. Your help is much appreciated.
Brad and I will work on a write up for converting to bbPress from other programs. Sad part is, everything seeems to convert over to phpBB, so most of the writeup will be converters to phpBB and then the 2 phpBB => bbPress converters we have here 
Trent
PS. Or you can install the trac version of bbpress… or just wait for when .80 comes out (I wouldn’t suggest this since it was supposed to come out 2 days ago and, well… here we are)
Sorry man, I updated the plugin 2 days ago to be compatible with the new .80 release of bbpress. You’ll have to get the most recent .73 version. If you can’t figure out how to get it from /plugins, you can go to http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_private_message/
In the post above, from this post in that topic down to be exact. Then use the phpbb => bbPress converter in these forums.
Trent
Solution From Trent!
Here is something for drupal to phpbb and then you can use the converter back to bbPress maybe…..?
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=489446&sid=412af8780d34d31955c08dc174f28a75
has anybody tried a converter for Drupal Forums to bbPress?
You will have to create .htaccess file in the installation folder and add
Options +MultiViews
in it. refer to https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
for details
cheers!
oh please feel free to.. try checking in the code. if you do not have access, may be you can add a patch file and i’ll check it in for you.
Ok i hope that last part:
“Sending all your database e-mails to all major world-wide spam sending mafias…”
Is a joke? I am moving from phpbb because of spam and this does not sit too lightly on me…ok i need to take a chill pill.
Ok back to the task as hand. It totally does not work for me i get no databases installed? When i run it, I get all the exporting scripts, then point 8. about the mafia. And then I get a row of numbers “39816”
I’m using 0.75. Is there a version conflict?
Thanks.
Hi Everyone.
I’m trying to install this on my forum but getting the following message when I try and run the /pm.php file:
bbPress database error: [Table ‘db189779439.p2tbb_privatemessages’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM p2tbb_privatemessages WHERE id_receiver = 1 ORDER BY created_on DESC
bbPress database error: [Table ‘db189779439.p2tbb_privatemessages’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM p2tbb_privatemessages WHERE id_sender = 1 ORDER BY created_on DESC
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_load_template() in /homepages/34/d139864185/htdocs/pig2twig.lineindustries.net/forums/pm.php on line 19
I’m sure all files are in the correct locations. Is this due to the WP integration issue discussed above? Does anyone know how to fix? I’m guessing I could create the tables manually but suspect I’ll still get the Fatal Error to the undefined function.
Thanks for any help. Tim
I still run 0.74 I believe, I will check it when I have the time 
That would be ideal. It was just that this way I could release it without getting permission to integrate it first. If you are happy to have me work on your plugin, then just say the word. I could create a branch with the changes, or just dump a new version of the plugin in once you have seen it. I’m not sure that I have commit access to that folder in the plugin SVN though.
Who knows. Maybe wordpress.com will spark some kind of hosted bbPress solutions. May be wishful thinking though….
Trent
I changed this up a little bit and made it work for the up and coming 0.8 theme. It would be nice to have someone test it again on 0.75 as I don’t have an install anymore, but I think my directions should work. Download is in the first post of this thread or check out the entry on my blog or over at the complete template and plugin blog, Pro Forum

*EDIT*
Null I am using the original logo again.
Its all css now, I got the php and html done, I have to do a lot of css work to make it look good.
It’s exactly what I did, and a bit outdated. I might have to switch themes.
Typo and it stripped the link. It is working now above as well as here:
