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

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 ?

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?

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

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');

Did you put your .htaccess in your bbpress install?

If not doing that might solve your problem, if you cannot login to generate a htaccess check out this thread and grab the multiviews htaccess

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What you’re trying to do should be done in bbPress’ config.php file, but you’re really close

Put your index.php back the way it was. In bbPress’ config.php file, put the following two lines right after the <?php line.

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

define('WP_BB', true);

It seems you’ve found the correct path to use in you system: /home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php

So it should now look like:

<?php

require_once('/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

Then, copy your bb-templates/ directory to my-templates/ this is so you can modify the template files without editing the original ones; bbPress will use the files in that directory automatically instead of the original ones.

In my-templates/front-page.php (and any of your other template iles), you can now call any WordPress template function, even get_header().

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I don’t believe a plugin is necessary for this. The core function tag_heat_map() is just the same, isn’t it?

See my comment here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/67?replies=3#post-295

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You should always feel free to discuss this or anything eles on the mailing list: https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You should be able to use any bbPress functions you like in WordPress as long as you

require_once('path/to/bbpress/config.php');

[landofmidnight]

I hacked up this little plugin that lets you change the size of the tag cloud without hacking any core files. (And, yeah, that’s all it does.)

It does, however, require you to change some code in your template to call the function.

(I took the code from template-functions.php line 1150 or so, the tag_heat_map.)

See it here or download it here.

You can comment about it on my site if you wish. My Release Annoncement.

[spencerp]

Keeping on the original topic at hand here, and no rush of course.. But, will, or could someone eventually make a “delete forum” plugin for bbpress, or maybe even add it into the core?

Just was curious, IMHO..I think it would be a great asset! Especially for those that *are not* experienced with the database/phpMyAdmin.. Again, just was wondering..

spencerp

By the way, I do know my way around the database and such, but.. it still would be *alot* easier to hit the “delete” button by a forum, then going into a database.. LoL!

[Zambu]

Sometimes all of these comments are way over my head, so I have to just keep trying and trying…until I figure it out.

I kept having problems with this topic, until finally I figured out the the .htaccess file that should be changed was NOT the one that already existed in my www (root) folder but rather i had to create a NEW .htaccess file and store it in my forum subfolder.

I tried the suggested simple version first (i.e. “Options +MultiViews”), but it would not work on my server. I then used the more complex version to create a new .htaccess file with the following contents:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /forum/tags.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/$ /forum/rss.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /forum/rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]

</ifmodule>

You can see above that I already changed the “/path/to/bbPress/” part into “/forum/” as that is the name of the subfolder on my root directory in which I store my forum (your subfolder name is probably different, so be careful to use the correct name for YOUR subfolder, not mine!).

Put more simply, “forum” is the name of the subfolder in which config.php is stored. So…I created an empty .htaccess file, put the above noted gibberish into the file, then stored the file in the “forum” folder on my server where config.php is already stored.

Now it works like a charm!

Hope that helps some of my fellow newbies out there!
