I am probably being very stupid, but having installed bbPress I don’t seem to be able to add any more forums. I changed the bb_table_prefix in the config.php file, which resulted in a second mySQL database being set up, but the user only sees one forum. What am I doing wrong?

[Atsutane]

Do u mean something like this? http://www.atsutane.net/images/bbpressfavor.jpg

For Italian localization I used the word “Marcatori” for HTML tags, thinking about the meaning of HTML where M stay for markup. I think in english the Markers words can be used as well… what do you think ? For Tags an alternative words could be KeyWords even if actually Tags is widly used for the scope tags are used in bbPress.

Even if you get the right time for your post. My freshness still gonna be -1 year. It all happen to the newest post i make but the time posted is correct. Maybe it was a bug inside bbpress freshness function.

Ok, so I have the exact same issue with the k2 sidebar module. However, I think this means the issue somewhere in the widget plugin API.

Atsutane – I think this may be a solution for your akismet problem. Try disabling the K2 sidebar module plugin, and enabling Akismet. Does bbpress still work? If yes, comment out lines 374 to 475 of akismet.php, that is, from right before

function widget_akismet_register() {

to right after

add_action('init', 'widget_akismet_register');

This should allow you to use both plugins at the same time.

Let me know if that works.

I like the lightbox integration…any directions on how to do it?

[suleiman]

Try the following:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress_dbname’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘bbpress_username’); // Your MySQL username

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

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘USER_BBDB_NAME’, ‘wpmu_db_name)’); //your WPMU DB name

define(‘USER_BBDB_USER’, ‘wpmu_db_username’); // Your WPMU DB username

define(‘USER_BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password

define(‘USER_BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

// 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://hadithuna.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

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

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Hadithuna Communnity Forums’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@hadithuna.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 = 0;

// 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’, ”);

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘hadithuna.com’; // or .example.com if there was a . above

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

// 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 = false;

// define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

// 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 = false; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

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

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

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

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

?>

To rearrange the stuff, create my-templates directory in your bbpress directory. Make a copy of the files inside bb-templates and copy them to the my-templates.

Edit the front-page.php file. That is where you can rearrange what goes where.

To get the background like here, you have to integrate your bbpress to your wordpress like http://www.abunchofcars.com/forums

This is a great plugin… but, I don’t want every post to go to bbpress. It would be really cool to have a checkbox, that would only send it to bbpress if it was checked. Anyone care to tackle that?

[n22]

now, the layout of my forum is like: http://n22.awardspace.com/forums

---

(center all those things)

what should i do?

and how about adding a background wallpaper just like this bbpress forums?

[flufftronix]

Hi there, I’ve scoured the boards here for a solution to this issue but have only thus far found another instance of the problem. I’m running a WPMU install here and a bbPress install here.

Everything seems to be working fine, short URL’s included, except for user authentication. I can only login through WordPress. Login attempts through bbPress fail with incorrect account info, but don’t do anything with a correct user/pw combination either. WPMU is creating a cookie that bbPress uses, but bbPress seems to be incapable of creating that same cookie I think? Or..? Any ideas?

[Atsutane]

gsnixon,

the problem i have with ultimate tag warrior is because bbpress using the same name function. About akismet, i don’t know what causing it. FYI i dont have any widget plugin install. I only use k2 sidebar module.

[talkaboutdesign]

Next thing on the list is making img tags switch to display the way i want them to, using a specified width thumbnail, and then upon clicking showing full image using lightbox.

If anyone has any ideas about this, please share your thoughts.

[gsnixon]

Ok, so I tested all the combinations of the last two versions of WP and BBP… so its obviously something with my configuration.

But I found that if I install and activate the incriminated plug-ins in WordPress before trying to run the install script for BBpress, it returns the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_text' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_rss' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

Now we’re getting somewhere! Anyone? A hint?

[gsnixon]

Atsutane (if you read this) – did you every get the issue you mentioned in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/38?replies=46#post-862 resolved? That seems to be perhaps a similar predicament… You said you have akismet and ultimate tag warrior installed… do you have the Widgets plugin installed?

Check out new lightbox test: for images.

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&#8217;;

$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&#8217;;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://blog.siliconholler.com&#8217;;

/* 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.
