here’s one problem mozey, you can’t access the admin backend of bbpress anymore after you’ve done this trick!

I’m signed in as my site admin, and although WPMU recognizes me as the admin, BBPress does not.

Thanks for your help !

doubter:

Are you trying to incorporate the look of your main site into bbpress or functions of WP into bbpress? If you are looking to make bbpress look a part of your site, I highly recommend that you remove all the WP code from config.php. Then make a my-templates directory inside bbpress directory, make a copy of the contents of bb-templates and drop it in there. Then modify the files to match your existing site. See an example here: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/

doubter,

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.captainsdead.com';

That line in the code you pasted is missing a single quote at the end (before the semi colon).

Hope that works

[doubter]

hey gang. i typically can figure stuff out on my own, but after a week of trying to install this i have hit a wall. i am sure i am missing something fairly stupid, but any help at this point would be very helpful. i am trying to incorporate bbpress with my wp blog @ captainsdead.com. I am currently receiving this error.

arse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/captvan4/public_html/config.php on line 55

thanks in advance, very much.

There’s a phpBB importer script available in this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/3

But it doesn’t convert BBCode yet. I think that feature is in the works, though.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

mokona,

The error is actually caused by the line above that on. Delete the line that says:

define(WPp_BB', true);

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress grabs the 40 most popular tags. You probably have fewer than 40 tags, so it’s grabbing a couple tags with 0 topics in them.

This will clear up on its own as you accrue more tags. Otherwise, you can manually reduce the number of tags bbPress shows in the hot tags area. See this post about customizing the tag cloud.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

cvanp, if it’s not a subdirectory, it isn’t as easy. You’ll have to change WordPress’ cookies and bbPress’.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/113

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

There will be a filter for the title in the next release. Thanks!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Perhaps you have not yet set up Pretty permalinks.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Afther bbPress is installed, if you wish to use WordPress’ template tags, you will need to include a line like the above in bbPress’ config.php.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

zapata,

That is a bbPress plugin, not a WordPress plugin. It should be installed in bbPress’ my-plugins/ directory. See https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#customization-folders (the bottom of that page).

I am so happy that this has been released, and I can’t wait to get knee deep into the templating system. I do have one question, though. phpBB provides converters for people that would like to swtich from say, vB to their script. It would be great if there was a way to switch from phpBB to bbPress. I realize that’s a big request, but it would make my life so much easier. My husband recently told me he wanted to add a blog to his site that is already running a phpBB board, as his webmaster/design/tech-head, my first answer was, “Okay, but it’ll have a different members system. If we could convert his phpBB to a bbPress, I could then add the WP and integrate them.

his site: http://www.emmaus-way.net

my site: http://www.tammyhartdesigns.com

[peiqinglong]

If you want it to have the same look as your site, don’t edit the config.php like that. Create a folder inside bbpress directory called my-templates and make a copy of all the files in bb-templates and paste it into my-templates and edit those files. Example: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/

[mokona]

Hi, I think I’ve got the same problem.

I’m trying to install bbPress into a subdirectory of wordPress and I want it to have the same template of my main site.

I’ve looked this topic and I’ve uninstalled bbPress and made some changes to my config.php, that now looks like:

<?php

require_once('/home/wererabbit/demon.wererabbit.net/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

define('BBDB_NAME', '*****');

define('BBDB_USER', '*****');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '******');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'mysql.wererabbit.net');

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://demon.wererabbit.net/';

$bb->path = '/forum/';

$bb->name = 'Forum';

$bb->admin_email = 'lum@wererabbit.net';

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

$bb->akismet_key = false;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://demon.wererabbit.net';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://demon.wererabbit.net';

define(WPp_BB', true);

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

?>

Now when I try to install I get a parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/.nevermore/wererabbit/demon.wererabbit.net/forum/config.php on line 57

line 57 is:

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

I think there’s something missing but I do not catch it.

[peiqinglong]

Does bbpress support email notification when someone answers a post that a person is subscribed to?

[peiqinglong]

Sweet! Thanks!

[peiqinglong]

mrjain,

Of course, I would be glad to help.

[tekhawk]

just a thought anyone want to modify this plugin so that you can add icons to titles

[tekhawk]

quick note

i had to add this line to my header.php file

<script type="text/javascript" src="'. bb_get_option('uri') .

'my-plugins/bb-emoticons.php?bb_grins_output=javascript"></script>

add that to the steps to get this to work if you are having troubles with clicking on the icons not working

Hope that this feature gets added to the package soon

[kannued]

I discovered the answer to my question on the definition of user types.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/160?

But as for the other problem of having a forum designated as private, for now, I will have to create multi-bbpress boards.

[randykopplin]

This is all to complicated for my simple mind.

Need someone- to install and intergrate bbpress into my WP forum.

Is it possible to totally intergrate bbpress into the forum, so that the Forums show up in the main window of the template the same as the topics from WP?

Or do I need to create a totally new template to run under bbpress that matches template for WP?

WP is at http://www.hasslefreemarketing.com/notebook

[cvanp]

Nope, my layout is as follows:

http://localhost/wordpress

http://localhost/wordpress2

http://localhost/bbpress

All three share the same database, with the prefixes wp1_, wp2_, and bb_. I have the second WordPress (wp2_) hacked up a bit so it uses wp1_users and wp1_usermeta, enabling me to have a Gawker Media style Blog Network (multiple blogs, single logins). I was hoping to share that wp1_ table with bbPress, and it appears to have done so, just didn’t let me log in.

Also, I don’t get an error message, I just get directed back to the homepage as if I had done nothing.
