i am under the impression that there is a default theme with bbpress, mine is not loading, everything else is working. (Well, its installed and ic an add forums etc), but it looks like its not finding a .css file of anysort. any ideas?
evelardiez,
bbPress comes with such a script. Download the software, fill in the details of you database connection in config.php
, and when you first browse to your forum’s URL, you’ll be taken through the installation procedure.
See https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
bbPress does not have email notification. It sends email for a couple administrative things, but not when new content in posted. It does, however, produce RSS feeds all over the place.
That said, an email notification plugin would be a welcome.
Yea, I agree with lstelie.
WP use subversion to manage each localized file:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/
How do bbPress’ developers think about managing localized file?
great job man, just what I was looking for.
I second this request; bbPress is absolutely perfect, and I’d love to switch, but I have a six-year-old phpBB support forum filled with support topics for users to search through. What a shame it would be to lose all that info!
What exactly did not work?
I tried the same code as above but it did not work for me. I’m not sure if htere is a get_settings in BBpress but, you can use $_SERVER;
If I remember correctly BBpress has an email notification system built in.
Also when bbPress has a true template system, I’ll be making the default skin sort of like Andy’s Sandbox theme, so you won’t have to try to get around my CSS if you don’t want to.
I need a bit of help still with the login issue
My config for this section
// 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 = ‘wp_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.energizedeating.com/blog’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash
// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.
//define(‘WP_BB’, true);
/* Stop editing */
define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );
require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );
?>
Thanks,
Gary
i saw in the “how to delete a forum?” thread that it has to be done from the backed db, is a post similar? i had expected to see this option in the admin, or an option on the post itself, but i’m not sure if this option isn’t available, or if something is wrong with my install
thanks
and let me just add i am so happy bbpress is ready to roll
On one of my installs I can use the .htaccess created by bbPress, BUT, I also get the 500 internal server error with the tags. I have the above correction in place and I still get the 500 internal server error.
Multiviews still works just fine though.
bbPress should get along with WPMU just as well as it does with WP. See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
how do bbpress and WPMU get along?
root9, this is due to a typo in bbPress rewrite rules. Use these instead: https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks
Yeah, that was a little confusing. Thanks for clarifying.
FYI, I just recieved an email from the bbpress dev mailing list about this being updated. It is now less confusing on the config sample to.
When I use this option
$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.
Set it to true, and use my prefix, I am running into this error:
bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate' AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, '---', 1 ) = '*****[moderated]*****'
bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate'
Even if I intentionally put the wrong db prefix, it still gives this same error.
But as long as I use keep using the old integration code in the config file
// use the WP user table for your bbpress user list
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');
the login works just fine.
Those two line look fine to me.
You are definitely missing files, though: http://www.thai-boxing.org/muay-thai-forum/bb-includes/
Not all of them are there.
Are you trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress? That would explain why bbPress did not complain that wp-functions.php was missing.
Try
require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');
in bbPress’ config.php.
