I have installed wordpress in the main dierctory, and bbpress as a subdirectory. They are both working fine.
I read the following entry :https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
However I would like to doble check.
“defining WP_BB as true” does it mean ..= ‘wp_bb’ ; or …= ‘true’ ; ?
and,
“define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address, respectively.”
does it mean :
$bb->wp_home = ‘url of wp’;
and,
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘url of wp’;
Thank you!
So10. That is beautiful! There are 4 or 5 of you that really are rocking and rolling! I will do some research here because really there are about 20-30 plugins now for bbPress bouncing around. I will try and think of a way to get them listed in one place…..
Trent
I would love to see something like sub-forums implemented into bbPress earlier in the “game”. I think that would be so awesome. phpBB hasn’t even gotten to that “point” until phpBB3 beta or whatever.. lol!
I know it might not work, and function extacly like “that”, but.. atleast it’s a start of it..

<?php $topics = $bbdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE forum_id = $forum_id ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10”) ?> gives me a error:
bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10’ at line 1]
SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE forum_id = ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10
This plugin is another simple one. It allows you to set an inactivity limit on threads shown on the forum main page. The default is set to 7 days, and if you like that setting, then all you have to do is put the file in your my-plugins directory. If you want to change it, it’s easy enough (desciption in the readme).
You can download the file and read the instructions at http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_limit_recent_activity/
You can see it being used at http://www.rayd.org/forums/ (notice how there are no threads in the “Latest Discussion” section whose last post is older than a week).
Enjoy!
I think I made a similar script yesterday. I didn’t make it as a widget because I never did much customization with wordpress itself.
Anyone got an example of this being used? I might want to change the way mine looks if another looks better. (if you want to see what I did, you can view it at http://www.rayd.org/ … the right side forum list thing)
Yeah true.. Trent, thanks for clarifying that for everyone, and me!

/Me didn’t get to bed yet, so.. my brain is now working in reverse, compared to your’s.. since you got the sleep.. lol!!
Needs to be an option though because with that code in there, it will exclude when most users wouldn’t really need anything excluded. As well, that is only for the sidebar part, not the widget.
Trent
This is the block of database code that Trent had “fixed” up for me, to exclude the one forum.
(Found near end of plugin file)
function wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar() {
global $wpdb,$bbpath;
$bbtopic = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status = 0 AND forum_id NOT IN ('3') ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10");
Where => (‘3’) is the forum id to exclude..

You’re so awesome!! It works!! Thanks a ton!!

It isn’t put in as an option, (though it would be easy to do), but all it really is, is adding SQL statement to exclude a forum. Maybe a guy should put a plugin code option for number of posts displayed as well as excluding a forum.
Trent
Glad to see someone is using my plugin The plugin has been listed before but it gone now, thank’s for re-posting it.
Maybe u can send me the fix and i add it into the plugin.
Since the contact information is in the post, I am closing this post.

This is currently the only way that bbPress gives new users passwords. It serves a double purpose. The first is a record of a password for a user if they don’t end up changing it and second of all, it makes sure that people register with an actual email address (which stops most spam bots right there) because they have to retrieve their password from email.
If you need something, I would assume it would require a core hack unless someone can develop a plugin. Right now, I don’t think anything is in the works.
Trent
I don’t know if this plugin is listed anywhere in the forum (can’t find it), but this is a plugin that will have recent forum posts from bbPress in your WordPress blog. Sidebar or otherwise. I use it and it is a great little plugin:
Recent bbPress Discussion in WP Plugin
As well, if you want to exclude a particular forum from the list, I have a little fix. Reply if that would help you.
Trent
OK, I’ve solved the problem!
The version of PHP on my server is 4.4.4, which should be compatible with bbpress. I recalled that in my moodle installation, we hit issues that could be resolved by adding a .htaccess file with the following line:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
i.e. asking for php to be interpreted as php 5? (I’m not a php person – is that correct?).
Creating a .htaccess file with this line in it and dropping it into my bbpress folder solves the tag.php problem . . . .
ardentfrost, maybe you can help me..? I’m using the bbPress Post (0.02) by mByte, and with his plugin.. I had made a forum for the blog posts to show up, however.. I would like to make the blog posts, stay ONLY IN the “Blog Article Discussions” forum..
Instead of them showing up in the “Latest Discussions” part of the forums index page.. And just have ONLY the threads made in the forums, show in the “Latest Discussions” section of the forum.. Is there maybe something that could be done for this?
I’m basically asking to exclude one of the forums, from the “Latest Discussions” section. Thanks in advanced..

I’ve reuploaded bbpress – makes no difference.
I’ve removed plugin (display_name.php)
I temporarily renamed my_templates folder to return back to default template.
The forum now sits at http://www.learning2goblog.org/forum
Click any of the tags and it takes you to the correct page. Click on the breadcrumb to take you back to tags.php and it dies as described.
All very strange . . . .
Since Ahni was interested, and I’ve been itching to do a conversion script to see how easy/hard it can be, I figured I’d chime in. I’m not familiar with either application’s inner workings, but looking at a database and comparing — now that I can get into!
So, technically, I’m only interested to do a direct convert based on what he wants, if I get around to it at all (don’t want to make any promises here). Anyone else would be more than welcome to modify whatever code I write later on. I can make it publically available. Should be pretty simple, I would think.
You might be able to use the integration plugins for WP and bbPress prior to the export/import to sync the users first. Then the import would work off the WP users table.
Trent
Little duplication, but since this is a sticky post, I thought I would add it here:
It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.
bbpress-integration plugin
This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.
If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.
wordpress-integration
The first plugin will work for most users, but the second is available if needed.
Thanks,
Trent
Spencer and I got this going. It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.
bbpress-integration plugin

Thanks,
Trent
Trent, you’re so awesome!! After talking with Trent on GoogleTalk, he has helped me get this problem squashed! And, I had to slap myself twice, because I didn’t upload the bbPress Integration plugin, to my wp-content/plugins folder…
Thanks again for letting me know that Trent.. as well as the cookiedomain settings you gave above!

What about it doesn’t work? Do you get an error?
