mdawaffe asked:

Did you put the .htaccess file in the forums directory?

I guess I could have missed it, but I didn’t see anything talking about .htaccess during the basic install process. This looks like yet another item for the 1, 2, 3 Install List. I sooo appreciate the desire to keep this SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE but if a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 process would actually cover everything, that would be effectively more simple than a three-stepper that leaves out just enough to throw folks a tiny bit off track. Just my 2 cents.

Atsutane:

Ok, now header.php only includes: <?php get_header() ?> and nothing else. It looks better now. How do I get the sidebar, etc to move over? I want it to be completely seamless. Thanks so much for your help so far!

[Atsutane]

tgpuckett,

it seem to me u put get_header(); inside header.php without removing all the original content

[talkaboutdesign]

i got this to work fine, check out http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/

I’m also working on modifying the theme, and will be releasing a download for it in a near future.

[tgpuckett]

OK, so I’ve done that, and it looks kind of muddled. How can I get bbPress to ingore it’s own stylesheets and just get all the info from WP’s theme?

I just found and installed bbPress today. I was surprised at how well it went. Now I am familiarizing myself with it currently I have two oddities that I do not understand. I tried looking at the docs but they seem limited at the time. Please feel free to direct me if I am mistaken.

1) users registered for -1 year. both of my users registered today have this. Seems odd. I can’t find anywhere to manipulate this

2) weird stats. Below is what it says in my dashboard

* Posts per day: 44.132

* Topics per day: 11.033

* Registrations per day: 22.066

* Forums started 2 hours ago.

I tried doing a post recount thinking it may reset this.

any ideas?

thanks

peiqinglong’s clarification:

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

Should be included on the 1, 2, 3 Step Installation Page, which should read:

1. Unzip to a sub directory of WP e.g., ‘bbpress’. This will become part of your forum URL http://yourcoolsite.com/bbpress/.
2. Copy config-sample.php to config.php and fill in the necessary details.
3. Load bb-admin/install.php and do what it tells you.

Let basking be the RESULT of the process, rather than hogging up 33% of the 1, 2, 3 process.

[tgpuckett]

OK I’ll try it without. Thanks

[Atsutane]

Yeah that the main point. But i think if u using version 0.73, u no longer need to put define(‘WP_BB’, true);

[Atsutane]

shedrock,

even if wordpress and bbpress are using different database u still can have the same user database. The only u need to do is to make sure wordpress and bbpress database name and user is the same.

To call your forum from wordpress, maybe u can try making new static page and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”. So everytime u click on that page, u will be redirect to your forum.

P/S: maybe this will only work if you enable pretty permalink for wp.

[tgpuckett]

OK, so let me get this straight;

To make bbPress and WordPress match, all I have to do is add:

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

define('WP_BB', true); in my bbpress config.php file (edited to fit my directory structure of course). and then in the theme’s header.php, I put get_header() and bbPress will grab the header from my WordPress install, and all will be right in the world?

[tgpuckett]

Thanks so much! I’ll check these threads and report back w/ any problems.

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

If you copied and pasted the config.php file exactly as you inputted it, then the problem seems to be that you didn’t fully fill out the config file.

Config-sample.php should be renamed to config.php and this is what you should be entering (leave anything I didn’t include here alone):

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

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

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘the pass to the database‘); // …and password

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

$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’

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

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

Give your forum a name and enter your email…

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

And that’s it…go to shadesofblack.free1k.com/bbpress and you should get the installer.

Hello all,

I’ve successfully installed WordPress and bbPress on my site, http://www.macuserblog.com, and I’d like to know how to make the bbPress installation look like my WordPress blog. I’ve already done the integration with users and such as is possible in bbPress’ config.php file, and the next step is configuring the theme so the transition between WP and bbP is as seamless as possible. Thanks!

[peiqinglong]

I would like to mirror the favorites on my WP homepage, but topic_posts() is a bbpress only function…is there a plugin or hack so that I can get the favorites to my WP homepage? Thanks!

[preckie]

oops, i tried another version of the config file, i made everything i edited in the “only useful for wordpress integration” part and placed the values “false” and here’s what i got when i tried logging in.

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, ‘—‘, 1 ) = ‘d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘preckie_wpdb.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

[preckie]

i uploaded the bbpress folder into the wordpress folder, and then i edited config-sample as shown below: (slighty edited)

// Just the

domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash

here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com’; // Example:

‘http://bbpress.example.com’

// There should be both a leading and

trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb-

>path = ‘wordpress/bbpress/’; …….

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘my-domain-name.com/wordpress’;

// WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing

slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘www.my-domain-name.com/wordpress’; /

and when i’m going to run install, nothing happened, it just lead me right back to my blog. so i tried another version of my installion… this time, i moved the bbpress folder into the main directory, and edited the config file: trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb-

>path = ‘/bbpress/’;

i was then shocked with what i saw.. the installion message! i entered a username for keymaster: admin and it said that it’ll use my wp password. i tried logging in but i couldn’t. i was taken right back to the index page. i’ve surfed around this forum and realized that wp integration options in the config file will only work if bbpress is uploaded into the wordpress directory. but i really can’t do that because as i’ve said, i tried that in my first install yet nothing happened. help please!

[suleiman]

I am integrating WPMU and BBPress and I have users and cookies shared perfectly. My problem is that prior to the integration my username (admin) was set as a keymaster.

But after it admin is no longer a keymaster.

I need to find a way to set him to keymaster.

I have tried $bb->new_keymaster = true; in my config.php file, then re-running bb-admin/install.php, but that gives me the error that No Such USername exists.

All I need to do is set the user admin to keymaster status. Any help much appreciated!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

abbaanthony, It looks like you’re using a copy of the code-in-development.

Try using the official bbPress release.

[Atsutane]

mdawaffe,

Actually i need to disable both plugin at the same time

[doubter]

thanks, waffe. i am going to try that. mozey, i get the same satisfaction. and yes waffe, i am having no problems with my wordpress.

[talkaboutdesign]

Hey guys, i downloaded bbPress and was able to successfully integrate it with my word press installation. Visit my forum and check out new style that i’m working on. I’ll be releasing this as a theme in a near future.

Hello, I was directed to this topic by mdawaffe [via https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/52?replies=23%5D and am having a bit of difficulty implementing this.

On my site, I’m not using a subdomain, instead I have bbPress located in a seperate folder from my WordPress installations ( localhost/wordpress and localhost/bbpress). I modified the code somewhat and it the problem hasn’t subsided.

Here’s my modified code in bbPress’s config.php:

// Cookies, bbPress fix

$bb->cookiedomain = 'localhost';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Thanks!

[abbaanthony]

I have tried to add the above line to my install of bbpress and I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare allowed_tags() (previously declared in /home/taacus/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/general-template.php:602) in /home/taacus/public_html/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 949

What am I doing wrong?
