Looks like that information is stored in the bb_meta table in the bbPress database, with the following values:

meta_id: autoincrement

object type: bb_option

object_id: 0 (always zero in my case)

meta_key: these 4

user_bbdb_name

user_bbdb_user

user_bbdb_password

user_bbdb_host

meta_value: your database name, user, password and host.

here’s a second one for ‘deep integrating’ with WP ( our customers struggle with that

http://www.pagelines.com/posts/deep-integration-with-bbpress/

Wait, is this just an installation procedure or integration procedure?

First is installing bbPress, second is deep integrating..

Chris,

The forum was set up and functoned for years with the split databases. Posts are saved in the bbPress db, whilst users are saved in the WordPress db. Now, for some reason, bbPress cannot read the user info from the WordPress db. I’ve tried to reinstall, but once I’ve completed “Step 1” and click the button to move to “Step 2”, the page is redirected to the forum homepage and I never get an opportunity to get to “Step 2”. I assume the installation script realized that there is already an installation of bbPress present and refuses to go further.

My questions is, how (in the code) are bbPress and WordPress tied together? What could be fouled up that makes it impossible for bbPress to read the existing user data from WordPress?

[johnhiler]

bbPress markup sounds suspiciously like hyper text markup.

[benbt-japan]

bbpress markup requires < > not [ ] around the tags.

[benbt-japan]

This new forum has just been installed, but I have noticed – as I write a guide for non-English users of the forums in Japanese – that bbcode does not seem to be working. The url is http://www.language-global.com/language/forums/ but it might be quicker just to tell me if the following bbcode ‘tags’ work on bbpress :

[ul][li][/li][/ul] & [strong][/strong]

The message beneath the posting box includes all of those in the list of allowed markup, but none of them are working at the moment. Have also searched the admin area for some control over bbcode but couldn’t find any.

Very happy with the look and feel of bbpress after wrestling with a certain WP plugin for almost two days without achieving what I have achieved with this forum in one afternoon.

[johnhiler]

What do you mean about the bbPress querying the WordPress database for user data? I thought most posts are showing up as Anonymous?

If they are different database, then that explains the problem. You want to install both WordPress and bbPress inside of a single database, if they are going to share users. This guide to integration might be useful.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

It’s a bit outdated, but I’m guessing it will give you a nice lay of the land.

[cloner]

OK…..in bb-config.php, there is a line that reads:

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘6koHWRD9d{XOEQ-S5+T[Or|TK[at.G8Qo~s,Z$]n:Yt:Ts%+uVpO.]MI3$’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

Then, in wp-config.php, there’s a line that reads:

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘6koHWRD9d{XOEQ-S5+T[Or|TK[at.G8Qo~s,Z$]n:Yt:Ts%+uVpO.]MI3$’|P]tL’);

Notice the line in bbpress is missing the characters: ‘|P]tL’

I don’t know if the ‘ between and | is the end of the phrase and the P[tl is code, or if the whole ‘|P]tL should be added, but it seems odd that they don’t match EXACTLY.

Reckon this is an issue? I don’t know why it would have changed, but something’s askew.

[guarda-faro]

I already know that plugin. In fact I found the operative version of the same and I proved it. It has some deficiencies that I did not like. I rejected to use it. I do not understand the reason bbPress does not include the use of static pages. He is not so complicated. On the other hand, I prefer not to use plugins, if I can avoid it. For that reason I prefer to find another form through some function that I can incorporate to the code of my template.

Thank you

I applied the patches suggested via the trac and your comments but my rss feed is still returning invalid in Chrome, Opera and Firefox (in Safari it works fine)

it does seem to be something wrong with the markup via an extra space in front of the xml declaration somewhere…

Anyone have any ideas??

Chrome:

error on line 1 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

Opera:

XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 1, Character: 1)

Error:XML declaration not at beginning of document

and it shows a space in front of the initial <? xml

Firefox:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

Location: /rss.php?topic=2074

Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

Update: I seem to have gotten it working, by inserting the following code directly to function bb_safe_redirect within functions.bb-pluggable.php, right before the line checking against $allowed_hosts:

$allowed_redirects = array();

$allowed_redirects[] = 'offsite-feedback-forum.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com/wordpress-installed-directory';

add_filter('allowed_redirect_hosts', 'add_allowed_redirect_hosts');

I originally tried to do this from a plugin, as the code above is copied from a handy WordPress plugin, but I was not able to get it to work without sticking it right within the pluggable.php file. If anybody has a better suggestion, I’d love to avoid editing the core files if possible!

[johnhiler]

Three quick questions to help scope out the situation.

1) Which versions of bbPress and WordPress did you have working together?

2) What version of WordPress did you upgrade to?

3) Where did your users disappear – just in bbPress, or also in WordPress?

Also – is this your forum?

[K. Adam White]

I’ve gotten BBPress/Wordpress integration working, and now I want to use BBPress to handle all login duties—I would like to make it so that when a user accesses the login link from WordPress, it redirects them back to the page they came from after they log in to BBPress. So, the user will ideally travel:

A page [not logged in] -> BBPress bb_login.php -> Originating Page [logged in]

This is another thread relating to redirection but it seems very outdated, I can’t find the code they reference. Redirection works splendidly whenever you are internal to BBPress, is there any way to have it work when you’re coming from an external wordpress page?

This is kind of a re-post, my first post attempt is being held with an “Array: Voices” status, whatever that means…

[H]

I am working on an ajax function, and currently I write a plugin which gives the last post of the logged-in user.

The post should be displayed using the post.php template of the current theme.

I try to get the last post from the DB as an object, and give it to the bb_post_template() function, like written below, but that doesn’t work.

What should I do?

I have $user = 2 as an example.

$lastpost = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM bbpress_posts WHERE poster_id = ".$user." ORDER BY post_time desc LIMIT 0, 1");



foreach ($lastpost as $bb_post)

{

$id = $bb_post->post_id;

$post = bb_get_post($id);

if($post)

{

bb_post_template();

}

}

[Ben L.]

<?php

$user = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id() );

echo $user->user_login;

?>

Thanks, it works

No problem, Alex!

I haven’t use TinyMCE (for comments) with BBvideo. Why not try using BBcode Lite? https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/ It works with BBvideo.

[johnhiler]

When I just add a normal YouTube link, the video embed shows up for me when bbVideo is activated!

But I had to turn off bbVideo, because it didn’t work with TinyMCE enabled and the rich text editor turned on… I guess that extra a href code threw it off?

[Kevin Ryman]

Hello there! BBvideo supports 14 video streaming portals. They are listed below.

How to embed video using bbcode ? What syntax?

[Gautam Gupta]

1) Yes, you’ve heard correct that project is almost dead as no development is taking place for weeks. Also, more chances are that it will be converted into a WordPress plugin (but some methods might be made available to transfer your data from the bbPress install to the plugin).

2) bbPress 1.0 was almost a rewrite of 0.9, so a lot of code changed and the plugins became incompatible. _ck_, a major plugin developer and contributor to the project left because the project was not getting attention from months. You can check her website – http://bbshowcase.com

3) Can’t say anything about the timings….

4) That has been reported in #1181

[imcoach]

Yeah, I’ve just spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out… At first I thought I was just reading the instructions wrong. I’ve been trying to read into it and plop code randomly. I’ve gone over the instructions as to which file to put where about 5 times……..

…I’ll let you know if I figure it out, lol.. if I don’t give up shortly and go back to phpbb.

thank you chrishajer. it works!

But I changed my mind, i prefer latest discussion on top.
