define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

The DB has not changed. You shouldn’t even have to run the install script.

[travelsuperlink]

so mdawaffe, all the database structure are keeping same as the version I download? I just need to follow up the normal installation procedure?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

There’s no good way to do this right now. We can make this pluggable in a future version of bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE

Might work if you load wp before you load bb.

Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you have any blocked users, you should run upgrade_160() found in bb-admin/upgrade.php. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Just overwrite the files and you should be good to go (backup first!)

I’ve just upgraded bbpress and am running into this error when I use the WP function get_footer():

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/drills/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2139

The forum in question is located at http://43drills.com/forum/

The error can be found just above the gigantic RSS button in the footer in the above link.

Well i have try many time and i still cannot make bbpress play nice with UTW. Anyone know a trick on how to use UTW and bbpress at the same time?

[mozey]

cmcraft, thank you, exactly what i’m looking for.

[kannued]

I figured it out!!!! All of the many problems!

1) The no input file specified occurred because I was not calling for install.php in the bb-admin directory. I was calling for it in the bbpress root directory

2) I downloaded another version of bbpress and uploaded it to my server. Transfer took a lot longer than before which makes me think that the file got corrupted when originally downloading.

3)Created an htaccess file for bbpress root, and created my-plugin directory with the two plugins

4) Read carefully

[lstelie]

Hello,

Another thing.

It would be great to have bbpress CSS (DIV and others) named bb_mydivname, because curently the naming sheme interferes a lot with WP one (for example both can have a <div="header"> )

[lstelie]

Hello,

I have a problem with a non engluish install.

The lang variable is WPLANG both in WP and bbpress (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/6?replies=29) so when the WP integration settings are set on in config.php, bbpress tranlastion doesn’t work anymore.

Any tip ?

[brunotorres]

I did this: http://brunotorres.net/unsorted/phpbb2bbpress.phps

Worked fine to me, importing a phpBB database with about 30000 records, including users, metadata, topics and posts. It takes a lot of time to finish, but works.

The code is a mess. I just finished doing this. Maybe I’ll make it better, if there’s people interested.

You have to use it on a fresh instalation, since it’ll delete any existing data.

It was just tested by me and I can’t ensure it’ll work for anyone, but I’d like some feedback.

Enjoy!

[Atsutane]

Thanks It work now

[Atsutane]

if i not mistake line 20 should be this ..

$bb->name = ‘New bbPress Site’;

Try to make sure u write it correctly without leaving any syntax.

[kannued]

And I did use this site for my installation and integration.

[kannued]

Hello

I had WP working. Then I installed bbpress into WP as a sub directory of WP.

ie. /wp/bbpress

I filled out the config.php file. But I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /wp/bbpress/config.php on line 20

Line 20 appears to be this:

$bb->path = ‘/wp/bbpress/’;

So what could I be doing wrong?

mdawaffe,

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Do you know the date of the nightly or the revision number you installed?

[travelsuperlink]

Hi, Gurus,

I installed a old version bbpress at my webpage. Now I want to upgrade the old version to this formal bbpress 0.72. what should I do? any documents talking about this?

many thanks,

Franky

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

andrea_r,

What is the goal? Are you trying to to have mu and bbPress share the same user table? bbPress and mu are using different databases (as opposed to different tables in the same database)?

I can help, but I need to know exactly how things are and how you want them to work.

I think this is your situation (apologies if I misunderstood you):

You have mu and bbPress installed and working off of different databases. You want bbPress to store its content in that separate database, but you want it to draw its users from mu’s database.

If that is the case, this is what should work. The top of bbPress’ config.php should look like:

//These are for the information about the database into which bbPress should store its content

define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress');

define('BBDB_USER', 'username');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');

// This is the information about mu's database. bbPress will look for users in this database

define('USER_BBDB_NAME', 'mu');

define('USER_BBDB_USER', 'mu username');

define('USER_BBDB_PASSWORD', 'mu password');

define('USER_BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');

// You just told bbPress to use that mu database to look for users, but it doesn't yet know the name of the *table* to use.

// Change 'wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta' to be the table names of mu's user tables.

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta');
