I used xdforum, but could never really get the look I like.

http://www.bui4ever.com/xdforum

Plus I’m stil having problems with the redirect. BBPress, IMO, seems to have much better integration and look.

[djuggler]

Because I like to be difficult, I have my WordPress installed at ~/siliconholler.com/blog/ and mapped to http://blog.siliconholler.com/. My bbpress installation is in directory ~/siliconholler.com/forum/ and mapped to http://forum.siliconholler.com/

It mostly works. When I try to look at the default topic http://forum.siliconholler.com/topic/1?replies=1 I get a 404. If I try to view a profile http://forum.siliconholler.com/profile/1 I also get a 404.

.htaccess currently has Options +MultiViews and I have also tried the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

My config.php reads:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

…

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

$bb->domain = ‘http://forum.siliconholler.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/’;

$bb->name = ‘Reality Me Discussions’;

$bb->admin_email = ‘validemailaddyhere’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->akismet_key = ‘properkeyhere’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com’;

/* Stop editing */

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

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

Any suggestions?

djuggler,

exmple.com/blog and examl.com/forums will work fine.

You will probabl need to customize both WordPress’ an bbPress cookies to share logins, though, since bbPres won’t be in subdirectory of WordPress. See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/113?replies=5#post-566

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Does your username have a space in it?

If so try this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4

[talkaboutdesign]

Some new updates, added search bar to the home page, added some images to forums and posts. Next i’m gonna work on the header, as well as some new profile fields and theme.

[marky]

What about putting your blog at http://www.example.com/ and putting the forum at http://www.example.com/forum/

Or, at least have http://www.example.com/ forward to http://www.example.com/blog/ automatically.

I am not a fan of splash screens.

[Atsutane]

1. U need to load wordpress function inside bbpress.

Put this inside config.php “require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”

2. Use wp template tag inside your bbpress template.

For example. Make a clean header.php and put “<?php get_header(); ?>”. Replace it with your bbpress-template header.php.

To make sure bbpress gonna look alike your wp static page. I suggest u try refer single.php or page.php inside your wp theme folder.

Here is my example. Using Kubrick page.php

//Start Header.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<div class=”post” id=”post-forum”>

<div class=”entry”>

//End Header.php

//Example item = front-page.php

//Start Footer.php

</div>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

//End Footer.php

So everytime u load bbpress index.php you will get the same page like your static wp page.

3. Add some of bbpress css style inside your wp css file.

Im sure u not gonna use all bbpress style maybe only some of it. Maybe you can start copy bbpress style from this point “/* Front Page=================================== */” untill the end.

I dont know if this gonna help you but i try my best to keep it simple hope it gonna do some help.

Side note: to load bbpress as wp static page. Create new page, and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”

[djuggler]

Thank you for bbpress!

This thread comes close to answering my question but misses an important concept “where should bbpress code reside to integrate best with wordpress?”: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/38?replies=29

The directory structure I am planning on using:

domainname.com (splash screen, redirect to /blog or whatever)

   |

   |—/blog/ (wordpress code in this subdirectory)

   |

   |—/forum/ (bbpress code in this subdirectory)

   …

Incase the spaces compress I’ll show that another way:

http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)

http://domainname.com/forum/ (bbpress)

Am I making a mistake to not use this directory structure:

domainname.com

   |

   |—/blog/

   …      |

            |—/forum/

            …

http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)

http://domainname.com/blog/forum/ (bbpress)

OR here’s a silly one. Noting that wordpress and bbpress seem to share the same filename only with index.php, should all code be in the same directory: http://domainname.com/ (wordpress and bbpress code here with some magic done to the index.php file? like index.php for wordpress and renaming bbpress’ to index-bb.php)

Which directory structure is going to make for the happiest co-existence of wordpress and bbpress with the intention of having them seemlessly interact? My gut feeling is that it just doesn’t matter as long as wp-config.php gets included within the config.php for bbpress.

Thank you!

thank you for you reply

but i check many times the path of “wp-blog-header.php” is correct.

[fokjulle]

My URL is http://www.trashmedia.co.za.

I simply want to do two things:

1. Make BBPress look like my current theme, or use the same CSS.

2. Load BBpress as a Page, so that my Sidebar and navigation remains as is.

At this point, I can find info on making BBPress look like my theme, but I undertand almost none of it. I need it typed more simply. Also, I can’t find any info on making BBpress a Page.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’ve just had one hell of a night trying to figure out this bbP/wP integration stuff. Eventually, I thought I’d do a clean test install and work from there to see if I could isolate the issue, so I installed:

BBpress 0.7.3

WordPress 2.0.5

on

Apache 2.0.59

mySQL 5.0.19

PHP 4.4.4

via MAMP on Mac OS 10.4.8

with WP in root and BBpress as subdirectory “discussions”.

I then configured wp-config.php and config.php like so:

<?php

define('DB_NAME', 'database');

define('DB_USER', 'root');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define ('WPLANG', '');

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

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

?>

and

<?php

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

define('BBDB_NAME', 'database');

define('BBDB_USER', 'root');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

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

$bb->name = 'the Forum';

$bb->admin_email = 'email@email.com';

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -8;

define('BBLANG', '');

$bb->akismet_key = '***********';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

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

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

?>

(the 8888/9 ports are MAMP defaults; 192.168.0.149 is the LAN IP of the computer I’m running this on)

Then I ran the install scripts, and lo and behold, everything seemed to be working great. Then I began to add plugins one by one, and, to make a long story short, found that:

Whenever the Sidebar Widgets plugin was activated along with a separate widget (including those included with it, del.icio.us and google, as well as akismet, which has a widget built-in), trying to load a BBpress page would yield a blank page. However, if Sidebar Widgets was activated but no widget plugins were, it would work fine–I could even use the integrated widgets (RSS, categories, calendar, etc) on the blog. Likewise, if Sidebar Widgets is deactivated, but all the widgets are activated, it still works fine.

Also: the Front Page Topics plug-in for bbPress, regardless of any other plugins in wP or bbP, yields a similar blank page on posting a new reply, starting a new topic, making a new forum, or logging out. If I go back and refresh, the topic/reply/forum HAS been created… but the logout attempt is UNsuccessful. Like I said, I tried this with no bb or wp plugins, as well as a variety of them, and its always the same result.

Ok, its 4:15 in the morning, I have class at 8 and I’m going to go pass out, but hopefully this is enough information for someone to tell me what gives…

Thanks for reading/any help.

open_basedir restriction in effect, most likely your path to “wp-blog-header.php” is not correct.

[otilija]

Ive looked though the warious theads on this but have not found a solution.

When I log in to wp and then go to the forum the the username field is filled in but the password field is blank and clearly I am not logged in to bb.

A far as I can see I have followed the instructions to the letter but its not working. here is my config.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

$bb->domain = ‘http://whipup.net&#8217;;

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

$bb->name = ‘the whipup forum’;

$bb->admin_email = ‘zerospam@kinetic.com.au’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->akismet_key = ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

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

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

/* Stop editing */

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

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

[zimpet]

After a while… It seems that anyone else is facing this problem with bbpress. So, I did a research… and I found a solution for my problem. Maybe there are others around need a way to solve this problem. As far as I understand it is a bug, cause wp-redirect sets a wrong status header. If you add a line saying:

status_header(301);

before

wp_redirect( $re );

is called within bb-login.php, all is going well.

[suleiman]

is there anywhere i could just copy and paste the code? maybe into a header.php file?

[hanbit]

hi,everybody i install wordpress and bbpress successful

the next i want to do is make bbpress use the wordpress’s theme

first i edit config.php,

add:

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

for example

<?php

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

then , copy bb-templates/ directory to my-templates/

edit my-templates/header.php

add <?php get_header() ?> in it

my-templates/foot.php

add <?php get_foot() ?> in it

but the appear some mistake

the message :

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/domains/chinalin.org/public_html/wordpress/wp-

blog-header.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/kim/:/tmp:/var/www/:/usr/local/lib/php/:/etc/virtual/) in

/home/myusername/public_html/wordpress/bbpress/config.php on line 2

what else should i do ? please tell me the others setting .

I do not know. Can you help localize? Look at this post.

bbPress International

Я не знаю. Можете вы помощь локализовать? Посмотрите этот столб.

[peiqinglong]

I would start styling the table. Copy and paste the original code from the style.css from the bbpress into your new theme and then go from there.

[ear1grey]

Sounds like you also need to split an existing topic… where a non-bozo-but-misguided user has replied to a topic when they should have started a new one.

[talkaboutdesign]

Yea, i saw this plugin after i edited the files. I switched to the plugin.

[talkaboutdesign]

Im working on integrating it with wordpress. Check out my forum for updates on progress.

Looking good

(As an aside, I see you’ve edited the core files to allow image tags. There is also a plugin for this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5 )
