No, they each have their own database. Was bbPress supposed to be installed in the same database as WordPress?

[bbolman]

bbpress and wordpress are installed in the same database?

[kineda]

There’s only 1 user in bbPress (admin account/keymaster)

There are thousands of users registered on my WordPress blog, http://www.kineda.com.

None of the registered users from WordPress are showing up in bbPress.

It seems as if the wordpress-integration plugin in the /my-plugins/ folder isn’t doing it’s job. Is there a way to check if it’s running?

[so1o]

just to understand the problem.. you have more than 1 user in the system..

[kineda]

[kineda]

Yes, I have. As stated above, I added the wordpress plugin and activated it in the plugin control panel on WordPress. Then set the table structure to “bb_”

I then uploaded the wordpress-integration plugin into the /my-plugins/ folder.

So both plugins have been added.

[bbolman]

have you added the wordpress plugin and activated it?

[kineda]

I added the two lines to the top of the file:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

require_once( ‘/httpdocs/wp-config.php’);

Still only 1 user showing in the wp_users table.

[chrishajer]

I had a similar problem on bbpress.org/forums/, which resulted in a 408 timeout. I posted about that problem here.

Thanks for the bump.

[so1o]

on the top of config.php add

define('WP_BB', true);

and

require_once( '/absolute/path/to/wordpress/ config/file/wp-config.php');

I’ve been having this problem with bbpress.org forum. not just mine.

[teknoseyir]

Hi, after upgrading to bbPress 0.75, we faced with this problem, too.

The key master’s status had changed to administrator, and administrators’ custom titles had been reset.

I’ve added the given code to config.php and applied bb-admin/install.php, and admin is again key master now. But in topics, key master’s link to his profile and his custom title cannot be shown now.

[kineda]

I’m trying to integrate WordPress 2.07 and bbpress 0.75, but I’m not having any luck!

I’ve followed the instructions found here:

http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

The following is a copy of my bbPress config.php file.

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ”); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ”); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.kineda.com’; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/hype/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Hype’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ”;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘e9a77fed10be’; // Example: ”

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.kineda.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.kineda.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com’

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

After setting the config file, I went through the install process for bbPress. Then I downloaded the following plugins: wordpress-integration.php (placed in my-plugins) and bbpress-integration (activated in WordPress and set table prefix to bb_)

The only account that works through both logins is the admin account. When I check the tables for the bbPress database I see this:

bb_forums

bb_posts

bb_tagged

bb_tags

bb_topicmeta

bb_topics

wp_usermeta

wp_users

I checked wp_users and there is only 1 user in the database.

This is driving me nuts!!! Any help would be appreciated.

[ralphdagza]

Someone told me that this might work..

<?

get_header();

/* HTML Stuff here, if you need to */

include "bbpress.here";

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

?>

can someone PLEASE explain this to me.

what should i put here? >> “bbpress.here”

and another question, where is the place to install bbpress?

subfolder? or subdomain?

thanks

[ccmve]

Is it true that the ‘standard’ thing to do is install WP and BBP in the same database? If so, I’m going to take bbolman’s recommendation and copy my BBP tables into my WP database. Is it safe to copy these directly, or are the some alterations that need to be made first?

[mozey]

? so,,,,,,,,,,,, you want the first post to be the blog post itself, and all the replies to be comments?. it is doable, but why?

It sounds that playing with a cool DB migration tool would be woth your while.

[chrishajer]

This is almost always a config issue. The config needs to be set to the time zone where your server is, so maybe if you’re off by 2 hours you need to adjust your config by two hours.

Time management is being addressed (see last post for trac ticket):

[bbolman]

Uh…converting forum posts to wordpress posts sort of defeats the purpose of bbPress I think. Plus, if you have much of any posts it will eat up your database. Why exactly do you want to do this?

[ear1grey]

So, I think now you’re getting the function name “is_bb_search” (among other function names) from the db and you want to execute it to know if a particular list item should be marked as current.

If that’s the case then it’s what I described before, which is something like where the function name is defined in $rw["location"] so…

...

$page_location = $page->location;

$switch = eval("return ".$rw["location"]);

$current = ($switch ? ' class="current"' : "");

echo "<li $current><a href="$page_id">$page_item</a></li>";

...

[ear1grey]

…only the front page is id-ed as current as the forum link is active, while topic-page should return as current aswell, cause I want this page to be “under” the forum link as well…

<grimace />

If you do that (a) your page won’t validate and (b) there’s no guarantee of how the browser will interpret the content because HTML4 and XHTML specs require that element ID is unique in a page.

From HTML4 spec:

“id ID #IMPLIED — document-wide unique id —

class CDATA #IMPLIED — space-separated list of classes —

Yet another reason to use class="current". Using classes and ID’s appropriately is important.

Basically the part causing problems is using the require of wp-config. THis gets you the wordpress API in bbPress. I use this to have my widget sidebar in my bbPress pages. When you do this, bbPress uses the kses.php library from WordPress instead of bbPress. It makes sense – the library is generic. Why load it twice (plus the function names would conflict)

But something with kses 0.2.2 is stripping out attribute lists. I’ve been debugging it all morning and I can’t figure out why. I get so far as to see in wp_kses_attr that after checking for allowed protocols, no attributes come back. Still digging.

[chrishajer]

baptiste said: “The point of using a href is to hide the URL itself and have a clickable phrase. a is listed as an allowed tag and in kses it appears to be allowed. I can’t understand why it’s being stripped out of the post. It should not be”

Good point. I forgot I can do that with mine and it works fine. I am not using any WordPress integration plugin for mine – just user registrations are integrated. What integration plugins are you using and what does it get you?

I used the instructions here but stopped short of the cookies. I think all that is ‘integrated’ in mine are user accounts. Maybe I didn’t complete the integration and that’s why mine is acting different than yours.

Hrm…..

(edit: the link to “here” works exactly like you want it to in your install, but it does not. I grok your problem now. )

[baptiste]

This is bizarre. If bbPress integrated is using the WordPress version of kses, you’d think the same problem with href disappearing would happen in WordPress too, but it doesn’t. I’m still digging, but this is really puzzling.

I have confirmed, however, that ALL attributes are being stripped that should be allowed. href, rel, cite in blockquote, etc.

[baptiste]

All,

I’ve posted a few things on the forums about odd behavior I’ve seen – href attributes in a tags getting stripped, slashes not getting stripped, etc.

I’ve confirmed that these problems are due to the WordPress integration. I am running WordPress 2.1 and bbPress 0.75 and followed the documentation to do the integration.

When I stop loading wp-config in my bbPress config, the slashes get removed and href attributes stay in posts.

I’m still digging, but part of this problem is overlap between WordPress and bbPress. The docs talk about a constant WP_BB that tells the code there are possibly conflicting APIs out there. Setting it causes bbPress to use the kses code from WordPress instead. WordPress 2.1 uses kses v0.2.2 while bbPress ships with v0.2.1. My guess is something changed between the two that bbPress doesn’t handle.

As for the slashes in front of apostrophes, it MAY be part of it – I’m not sure yet if kses is used to strip slashes. I didn’t think kses got called except during posting, not during viewing. There is another library from WordPress that bbPress uses in integration mode (l10n) for localization – not sure if this is involved in anyway (doubt it)

So if you’re seeing weird behavior – it may very well be intergation. But the good news is it doesn’t seem to be overly difficult to fix. Still digging to find the ‘right’ way (though as a hack for the slash problem, you can include a stripslashes call in template-functions:

function get_post_text() {

global $bb_post;

// Hack to strip slashes until WordPress integration is fixed

return stripslashes($bb_post->post_text);

}

Anyway – just an FYI. I’ll dig more into the kses href issue and post if I find anything.

[mitoskalandiel]

lo all, I have the same problem as Staffan, when I use this fine plugin, I get no name name displayed, I have just installed the 0.75 of BBPress, and I do not have any option in my profile to enter a nicename at all, hence why the assigned database entry (‘user_nicename’) doesn’t hold a Nicename 😮

Well I could enter a Nicename via phpMyAdmin, but that’s surely not the way to work that out, because tbh I am way too lazy, to do that for every future user registering with the forum

==edit==

Nevermind my post above, just sorted it out, it works, IF you install BBP with the database tables from WP in the config.php, but NOT IF you install BBP without these information

So the nicename from the WP user-table is being used, also means, users have to enter their WP profile to change that, as this is NOT possible via BBP profile

Thx anyways

==end edit==

Anyhow, a pretty nice plugin, keep up the good work Atsutane
