I noticed someone had done this (lotsofcars blog??), where bbPress loads into a standard static wordpress page. I have the ‘execphp.php’ plugin installed, should this be as simple as copy-pasting the index code into the body of the page text (using html view), and making sure the paths to the rest of bbPress files are correct?? Or is there another, smarter method?

[andyro]

OK, it totally works now. Thank-you. I didn’t realize I had to CREATE a .htaccess file under my ‘/www’ folder, I somehow assumed it would already be there in the installation package, and I only needed to add the MultiViews line to allow pretty permalinks – perhaps this could be clarified in the installation instructions? I am a complete ignoramus regarding all of this stuff, so the fact that I even got it working is a testament to its simplicity. The creation of the .htaccess file had me hung for several hours though. Otherwise, great work, I am looking forward to trying this out now!

I have two WordPress blogs (2.0.5) sharing a user database and attempted to get bbPress to share that user db as well. It installed successfully, but I can’t log in either!

I know it’s pulling the info though from my User Database, because the username in the sample post is linked to the same site I’ve set in WordPress. I checked my config.php values, and I know the syntax is correct based on the comments in config.php and the comments above, so I’m a bit confused.

I should note that I’m attempting this on a local test server, so all my config.php values are “localhost” values (such as $bb->domain = 'http://localhost';), I don’t know if this would throw things off at all.

[whitelion]

i have the same problem , i can login in bbpress but i can’t admin it

this i the config values..

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.addisababba.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/blog/forum/’;

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

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

In which line of style.css describ those color????

f.ex: sticky color is on the line 161 of style.css

1) the color of your forums name? (the one on the right-top corner)

2) the background color of forums ?

3) the title of table ?(the gray one on the top: Topic — Add New » Posts Last Poster Freshness …)

4) the original topic color ? (there 2 colors i think)

5) those words color? (Hot tags, Latest Discussions, Forums, View..)

6) the white line under under those title: Hot tags, lastest discussions…?

7) all link words ?( add new, no-reply, untag… the original color is green)

all link words ?(when mose hover)

background color of the bottom section of forums ?(there is : xxxxxxx is proudly powered by bbPress)

---

9) Now, when u add a new topic, theres a table which ask u the subjet, the content, the tag and the ection. i want to change the background color of this table, which line it is?

10)Now, when u look at a topic, theres the original post and reply. the background of each one is on which line?

---

11)last thing..: i want to also change those word (the word, not the color) : ‘Enter a few words(call tag)separeted by spaces to help someone find your topic’ and ‘ pick a section’

Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andyro]

Thanks, I will try this (first need to figure out how to access .htaccess – reading about this now!

Will bbpress have an option for members to have signatures, where they can add text or links?

I’m looking at starting a new forum, having used SMF & PHPBB forums in the past, but i really like wordpress so have installed a ‘test’ site using bbpress, and am really impressed, but its an important feature that i’m need to be installed.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

andyro,

It looks like you need to set up pretty permalinks.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

$bb->domain = ‘http://acd.us’;

$bb->path = ‘/cms/bbpress/’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://acd.us/cms’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://acd.us/cms’;

Try those values.

Hi ,

how to determine if its a member or an admin ( by admin , i mean the administrator and keymaster levels ) ?

if not , where can i find a good documentation about bbpress template tags like wordpress’ one ?

TFYT .

[lordcoder]

Hi all ,

i recently installed BBPress , and oh man , its very easy to use and the installation taked only 3 minutes , but its the customization that was very interesting , about this , how to customize titles ?

I dont want the whole title like this : POST_TITLE > SITE_TITLE , is that possible ?

Thanks .

[andyro]

I have bbpress loaded inside wp (like this: (wp/bbace/’). All bb pages show, except when user profile is clicked on (the respective users from worpress showed up automatically) I get:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/profile/2 was not found on this server.

Or when a topic is posted (the post goes up) but I get this error:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/topic/3 was not found on this server.

On the server side, there is nothing under ‘topic’ or ‘profile’ – should this be looking for a .php script, or something in the mysql side of things?

Any pointers would be appreciated…to view the site:

Thanks in advance!

mozey, would you mind helping out a fellow mu’er and post the code to your working mu/bbpress integration?

I’ve been stumbling again and again on getting the user integration to work, let alone the cookies!

I wroted plugin for WP, which create topic and post in bbPres forum, when you publish post in WP blog. Plugin can edit post in bbPress forum, when you edit it in WP.

Page of plugin.

Sorry for my English.

Theere is this,

https://codex.wordpress.org/User:RobLa/bbPress_Auth_for_MediaWiki

it might be a little old, but I think it is relevant. MediaWiki / WP /bbPress

[mrjain]

very nice design. A couple years ago on stumbled onto WordPress and glad I did. I feel the same way about bbPress, but i’m sure it will be rock solid and full of features a lot quicker. I was looking at phpBB, but I’m going to implement bbPress.

take care,

here is the whole config file (partially edited to protect passwords etc)

<?php

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

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

// 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://acd.us/cms/bbpress&#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 = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Member Forum’;

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

Hi again, what about grouping forums?

F.ex. if 10 forums already exist (http://jug.org.ua/forum/forums/list.page , i want to switch this forum to bbPress), it is handy to sort them out in some way.

Or just add smth. like “separator” between forum groups

And, do smth. with forum deletion; it can be quite complex and painful process to place existing topics, tags and comments somewhere.

[AphelionZ]

Thats neat. Makes my eyes water with joy.

Everything has been slowly gravitating toward WordPress on my site, i can’t wait until everything i need is right in that admin panel and I can kiss major PHP overhauls goodbye.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

They are some of the settings you set up in bbPress’ config.php before you first installed things.

[devils_advocate]

“Are you integrating this with WP, or is it a standalone install?”

I’m integrating bbpress into a wordpress installation…

“Please tell me the following settings:

$bb->domain

$bb->path

$bb->wp_prefix

$bb->wp_home

$bb->wp_siteurl

(sorry) where would I find this information in bbpress?

DA

[devils_advocate]

Sure.

I guess I’m confused what the plug ins are supposed to do and how they act within wordpress and bbpress.

I opened up and looked at both plug-ins (changed the “.php” to “.html”) to see.

And I realized that what I’m seeing in the installation pages in bbpress IS the plugin content of “display-name.php” preceding the regular Installation content.

And in WordPress – when I “activate” the “bbpress-integration.php” plug-in I can no longer browse any part of my WordPress blog – the only page I get – regardless of where I try to go in the wordpress blog shows me the contents of the “bbpress-integration.php” plugin. I’m looking at a Trac page.

With the wiki link, etc…all links not working because they are using my domain as root of the url.

so – I’ve been trying to make this installation work without the plug-ins…and I get stuck at the first bbPress screen [login in the header all correct; my first post -1hour<–saw the post on this> etc] and am not able do anything from there.

so far I’ve inched through a little progress every 2nd or third installation try…but right now I’m stuck

I’ll try your first suggestion – I figured the other one “true” NOT! out on my own….

thanks!
