It is pretty simple to just copy the bbPress tables into the WordPress database. If you use a mySQL export script, it will actually create the tables syntax and install it perferctly! It is way easier on many integration plugins (not just this one) when they are in the same database!

ccmve,

It is – and it will make your life a lot easier. Makes your config simpler too.

Well the switch gives this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /xxx/bbpress/my-plugins/bbmenu.php(123) : eval()’d code on line 1

Isn’t there a simpler way? Like always underline Forum unless $rw == get_bb_location()

So if current isn’t present in the li list, uinderline Forums. If this is possible, it would solve all problems

Hey Ardentfrost,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to your reply – i really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Here’s the config file:

<?php

require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('BBDB_NAME', '*******'); // The name of the database

define('BBDB_USER', '*******'); // Your MySQL username

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '*********'); // ...and password

define('BBDB_HOST', '**********'); // 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://blog.lumanation.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 = '/bbpress/'; // Example: '/forums/'

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = 'Lumanation bbPress';

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

$bb->admin_email = '********com';

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// 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 = 8;

// 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 = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab'

// 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://blog.lumanation.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://blog.lumanation.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' );

?>

Hey guys!

sorry i didn’t get back to your replies sooner. Thanks for the effort!

Yeah i am trying to work out whether to use bbpress or wordpress or both. But most importantly want to get away from phpBB2

I see both *press being powerful. I am not sure whether to offer both tools on our site, or just go with wordpress.

BBpress has allowed me to keep all our previous years content from phpBB2. But i am just not sure whether to use it or not.

Our members might get confused where to post entries and how to reply/comment.

I’d just go with bbpress but at the moment wordpress seems to have a lot of goodies like themes/pplugins that i am using.

Sorry i realised I am crapping on!

Any ideas/recommendations?

[chrishajer]

Is anyone else having a similar problem? Or, alternatively, does anyone in the know have an idea of how I can troubleshoot this? It’s painful to make a post with the way things are now.

Still using .73 and using the following plugins:

allow-images.php

bb-limit-latest-discussion.php

bb-memberlist.php

bbpress_sitemap.php

notification.php

onlinelist.php

Thanks.

[davidbessler]

Thanks Nate, I’ll look into that … must’ve gotten lost in the shuffle when I migrated.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get started? Main issue is how do I get bbpress to “receive” email? Does this HAVE TO involve cron jobs etc …?

[Trent Adams]

Another call to all the template authors. With 0.8 coming out right away, you might want to take a look at the new way that templates are going to be called. You have to make sure your theme information is included in the style.css (check top of default template style.css for info).

As well, themes will have their own folder in the my-templates/ folder. So, /my-templates/theme-name/ ! It still only needs the changed files in there, but you can check out the Themes Documentation for more information!

The last real thing you might want to do is take a snapshot of your template for the admin area. After you have the snapshot, it is best to create it in PNG format and call it screenshot.png

Just a heads up! It will be wicked!

[mozey]

is there really going to be an 8.0 in 3 hours?

http://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

[drmike]

Shuldn’t have to change anything. That’s all bbpress code.

[spencerp]

Just to update everyone on this.. I’ve upgraded the forums to the very Latest SVN files for .80alpha, and the latest file changes for the Forum Categories enhancement by SamBauers..

http://spencerp.net/forums/

I plan to tweak some more things though, and also release the “Gathering” theme for bbPress then. It’s still on my To-Do list, and it will get done then folks!

Just thought I would bring a little attention to the bbPress installation that they are using over at wordpress.com support forums. I really like the design of that support forum. Looks good Micheal!

Ironically, there is a post with the “notification” tag for a plugin that does what you want. Read through this thread on the notification plugin as this plugin will notify you of a reply and there is even a thread for an alteration of the plugin that makes it send out a reply for every single post that is replied to!

Trent

[stagger]

I found an email notification plugin for WordPress here:

http://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html

and somehow related to bbpress I’ve found a plugin called TracNotification here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/wiki/TracNotification

But I don’t get it. Do I have to install Trac completely on my server just to make bbpress send out notifications?

[Geezerjim]

I’m using this code in my Graphic Display Ranks plugin:

$path_to_subdirectory= bb_get_option('uri') . "my-plugins/ranks/";

$get_config = $path_to_subdirectory . "gdr_config.php";

include($get_config);

The plugin works just fine on the forum, but on the admin pages I’m getting these warnings:

Warning: main(my-plugins/ranks/gdr_config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brightan/public_html/bbPress/my-plugins/display-rank-images.php on line 43

Warning: main(my-plugins/ranks/gdr_config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brightan/public_html/bbPress/my-plugins/display-rank-images.php on line 43

Warning: main(): Failed opening ‘my-plugins/ranks/gdr_config.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/brightan/public_html/bbPress/my-plugins/display-rank-images.php on line 43

I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with the path, but what am I not seeing?

[mattpeckham]

Doh, figured it out. I had http://www.mikecarey.net in the home/siteurl options but just mikecarey.net in the config.php. I just switched lopped the ‘www’ off in the blog options and bingo, working fine!

[mattpeckham]

Hmm…well, my forums are like this:

http://mikecarey/forums

And the config file is set like this:

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mikecarey.net&#8217;;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mikecarey.net&#8217;;

[Trent Adams]

This will be a big issue for quite a few people I think. In fact, there has been 2 occurances that I could have used an export function and frankly, the wordpress XML format would be my preference!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Great things coming as mdawaffe is doing some pretty major changes to the entire issue of TIME in bbPress.

A friend who loves WordPress (www.jcbd.com). Gave me this to work with the plugin.

It goes in the rss2 file.

<description><?php

if ( strstr( get_topic_title(), ‘[Members Only]’) ) echo ‘[Text of this post available to logged-in members only.]’;

else post_text();

?></description>

To see this work go to http://koma-inu.org/bbpress/

Do not log in.
Firefox or Safari sould get the same results.

if you have the forum as a sub folder in wp installation and have the wp_siteurl and wp_home url set you shouldnt have a problem..

if you dont have the instllation that way… go to

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

and look up the cookies section to fix the problem

[Sam Bauers]

Check here for a categories patch (not a plugin).

[mattpeckham]

I think I’ve got everything set correctly in my config.php file, but for some reason whenever I login to WordPress then switch to my forums, I’m logged out of bbPress. If I log into the forums then switch back to WordPress, I’m logged out of WordPress.

I have the ‘define’ and ‘require_once’ lines in my config.php file, and registered WP users *are* showing up correctly in both locations…isn’t it supposed to be possible to login once for both? Note I’m using Safari…

Cheers,

Matt
