Seems to have installed just fine! I’ll run around and check for any errors and report back here.. I installed that right along with my 2.1 alpha3 test blog, click the link below to see it..

Oh wait, slaps self.. I just noticed this: “We’ve only tested bbPress integration with the most recent stable release of WordPress, 2.0.5.”

Alright, hmm.. maybe I’ll give it a shot then once.. maybe, I will have to cross the fingers though lol.. Wish me luck peoples!

I know this might sound, or, be a stupid question, but.. it’s safe to install bbpress right along beside 2.1 alpha3 right? If so, great! If not, is there anything I should know ahead of time?

I just upgraded my main blog to 2.1 alpha3 a few hours ago, and wouldn’t mind meshing the two together. So, lay it on me peoples! I’m ready..

Okay, so I’ve been all over the bbpress forums and I’m still a little confused. There’s talk about adding

require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

to the top of the config.php file and then someone else said not to. Do I have to add this? And if I add it, do I have to recreate the forum again from scratch?

Also, it tells me to add <?php bb_get_header(); ?> to the header.php file but when I do that it just loads a white page with nothing on it. What am I not understanding about the instructions?

I’m trying to make the bbpress forums page look the same as the other pages on my site.

I don’t know why, but my bbPress wouldn’t get the right time either. Keep playing with the timezone (+ or -) until a recent post has the right time. That will fix it in the shortrun. I am mountain (-7) and had to use Atlantic (-3) for it to work. The config.php file takes the timezone not that of the poster, but rather the timezone of the server it lies in. That is why you must play with it.

Thanks, teknoseyr, it worked. The problem was that only a few words are yet traslated, but this will change soon, I hope: bbpress has a lot of future.

[teknoseyir]

Hi,

Try changing values like that:

$bb->domain = ‘http://localhost&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’;

[sniss]

I have a rather strange problem. When I click the “Send Post”-button I get a 302 Found, with the following message:

The document has moved

here

.

The link points to bb-post.php. When I click the link I get the following message:

You need to actually submit some content!

My .htaccess file that was generated from rewrite-rules.php is placed in the root of the bbpress-installation looks like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /bbpress/

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /bbpress/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /bbpress/rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]

The $bb->mod_rewrite is set to true.

The post is inserted into the database, when I look at the frontpage of bbpress, but it is not redirecting properly.

My webhost is one.com.

Has anyone else experienced this fenomenon?

[antonskey]

thanks, that worked great, now if only i could get the bbpress->wordpress plugin working

[Trent Adams]

Anyone have an idea? I can’t stand having to have registration through WordPress because it gets more spam registrations than bbPress….

[Trent Adams]

The anarchy media plugin works to call many different file types, but it doesn’t work for youtube yet. It could take someone working the plugin for bbPress for it to work for youtube. I don’t know how, but maybe check out the anarchy plugin standalone to see if the file types there can work for you.

[Trent Adams]

I would imagine with the image plugin at https://bbpress.org/plugins/ because I don’t think anyone else has created the image side of the javascript unless I am mistaken!

Hi JohanMael,

I noticed you can post the image http://www.faces.kz/UCHITES_DETI_MOI.jpg in your http://forum.faces.kz/topic/1?replies=10

Could you please tell me how to do that?

Thanks & Regards,

0. XAMPPlite installation on a USB thumbdrive

with ‘WordPress’, ‘Mediawiki’, ‘Vanilla’, Gallery2′ running smoothly

1. BBPress install complete

2. See forum page, login

3. Write a post, click ‘send post’

4. Get a ‘page isn’t redirecting properly …. maybe cookie warning’

5. On Forum main page the post is visible, a click brings above warning

6. Check again config. php $bb-> path = ‘/’; and ‘settings. php’; can’t find the wrong reference ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’ I entered in 1st install page (and changed in config. php to ‘/’.

7. Can someone point out the file to change?

Thanks for your help

Detailed log of events below

0. XAMPPlite installation on a USB thumbdrive

with ‘WordPress’, ‘Mediawiki’, ‘Vanilla’, Gallery2′ running smoothly

1. Extracted bbpress into htdocs directory

2. Changed bbpress config.php (see below)

3. Started install and went throught step 1 (see below), step 2 (got password) and

4. Came to the site ‘knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum (typing: ‘http://localhost/bbpress/&#8217;)

(strangely ugly, so apparently theme did not load, somewhere I set a wrong path?)

5. Tried to login: Access forbidden!

=>You don’t have permission to access the requested object.

It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

6. Clicked on any other link on the forum page and got the same result

7. Checked config file of ‘Vanilla’ (‘settings.php’) there the same parameter worked (irrelevant as Vanilla is Vanilla and bbpress/bbpress)

=>Note: Write protection can not be the problem as it is XAMPPlite on a PC so nothing is protected

8. Changed config.php $bb->path =’/’; and now I can see my forum

9. Login, okay

10. Go to ‘Topic – ADD NEW’ and write a new topic, click ‘Send Post’ and get

11. ‘The page isn’t redirecting properly’ This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies’

12. Start the never used IE and with ‘localhost/bbpress’ go to the forum. click on any link and get (after long wait) nothing

13. In Firefox try other links it all goes to the same ‘the page isn’t redirecting properly (cookies are enabled)

=> So I think in 1step install the ‘Location: X:htdocsbbpress’ has to be changed but in what file?

14. Check ‘settings.php and register.php’ but the wrong string ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’ from below is not found.

15. Do you have an answer?

bbpress config file

// define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’);

// define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’);

// define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);

// define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// $bb->domain = ‘http://localhost/bbpress&#8217;;

// $bb->path = ‘X:/htdocs/bbpress/’; (=> changed to ‘/’; and could access forum, add a post, but can’t see)

// $bb->name = ‘knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum’;

1step install

login name: admin

website: http://localhost/bbpress/

location: X:htdocsbbpress/

I am receiving a parse error when attempting to install bbpress. I receive the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/.delta/kpeatt/canadanoise/board/config.php on line 71

when line 71 of config.php states:

$bb->wp_home = http://canadanoise.com; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

I fail to see a problem with that line, so any help would be appreciated

Hey Trent -thanks for replying so quickly. You’ve definitely given me something to think about.

If it is somewhat easy, then I think I’ll wait a bit and see if anyone can give a hand with this (Ill completely understand if no one wants to though, since I’ll probably be the only one to ever use it), because on the current site I’ve been using punbb as a blog – my hope is to have all that content separate from the forum.

I may just take your advice though – Thanks.

I was wondering if someone could edit the plugin bbPress-Post so that comments are shown in WordPress from the forum replies or have new comments in WP itself be added as posts to the topic in bbPress. Would this be difficult or possible?

Thanks,

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Sorry, one more thing. An example of this is my forum if you want a look (click on my name in this post). I was using Nucleus and phpbb for comments and moved over to WordPress for new posts and eventually moved phpBB to bbPress.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I haven’t heard of an export from bbPress to WordPress, but I don’t imagine that someone couldn’t write one in a hurry if they understand both programs. If you already have posts in punbb, you could easily export those posts to phpbb format and then use the import from phpbb to bbPress.

If you already have your comments and posts in a forum, why not setup a new WordPress blog once you have all your posts imported into bbPress and then have all new posts in WordPress go to bbPress for comments and further discussion. That way, all your old posts are already in the forum and all new posts will end up there as well. This is easily done with the bbPress-Post plugin. All new wordpress articles are created in bbPress and a link is placed in the wordpress post to the corresponding bbPress post.

Just something to think about.

Trent

Hey folks.

I’m currently using punbb and snews, and I’m interesting in switching over to wordpress and bbpress. I honestly should’ve used wordpress in the first place, but new things frighten me (lol)…

Anyways, what I’d like to do is put all my punbb posts into wordpress – and the only way I can see that happening is if I first import all the posts from punbb (to phpbb) to bbress and then to wordpress.

That’s probably overly complicated, but I can’t imagine how else this is possible and I have no real technical skill –so what I’m wondering is how difficult would it be to get the posts from bbress to wordpress? (or maybe someone has another suggestion.)

Thanks for all the great work.

Ahni

[yottabite]

ear1grey, I concur.

I’m already using tags like WP “categories” as they are the most easy-to-use feature of bbPress (thanks, AJAX), and quite analogous to what we call “forums” anyway. After all, we’re just talking about context really, and tags achieve that easily.

My only real complaint is that the word “tag” is so generic it ends up meaning many things and nothing all at the same time – category is a much better “tag” for “tag”.

Here is the error I’m getting when I put

‘”require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”‘ into my bbpress config.php file:
