How about taking the latest topic RSS feed and using an RSS widget or plugin in WordPress to display those topics?
I think I saw another topic about the avatars so I will look for that rather than address this here.
0.9.0.4 is recommended for live sites.
Thanks, _ck_. I appreciate the feedback.
By the way, I’m running several of your plugins, including Human Test, bbCode, Subscribe to Topic and more.
For anyone wanting to extend your bbPress site, I suggest looking first at _ck_’s plugins under the Extend tab. Really great stuff.
I’m planning (/ trying !!**!!) to run WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324.
My Hosting provider won’t allow RPC calls on the same server, so I have to mount bbPress on a different domain and server.
Will it work?
Assuming, it will:
Is it better to put bbPress in the root, or in a folder (usually root/forums )?
What (apart from the cookie hash) are the issues that I’m going to face?
How would I configure the cookies?
Usually if you delete the bb-config.php file, and then go to you main forum directory, it will go through the install process again and create you a new admin login without deleting the existing tables.
If you were using integration and hadn’t set up the correct user as keymaster, and your keymaster still exists, it is likely that you are looking at the wrong user tables. (wp_user vs bb_user)
If you are trying to integrate with buddypress / wpmu, then deleting the bb-config.php
and following the https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt
file will get you up and running with user sharing.
To do the integration you MUST be running the latest WPMU 2.7.1 branahc and BuddyPress trunk and NOTHING more that 1.0 Alpha 6 of bbPress – see here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471
After that, you’ve got the usual cookie integration to do if you want to, see here:
http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress
Having been round this loop many times, I know how frustrating it can be.
Hope that helps.
I have a thread going on over at the BuddyPress forums, ( http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2027&replies=14#post-10855 ) I’m posting the summary here in case anyone can help.
“I’m running latest WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324
I an on a shared hosting service with HeartInternet.co.uk
WPMU works fine on its own, bbPress works fine on its own, BuddyPress works fine, however:
When I update groups to “Enable discussion forum” the forum isn’t created.
Users are shared fine, cookies shared, even admin login to bbPress works properly.”
Having gone through everything (many times…), I ran the xml-rpc test scripts and get the following error:
-32300 >> transport error – could not open socket: 111 Connection refused
Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
Thx.
Ipstenu, thanks for your help.
Looks like the nonce field is very important to prevent spam posting.
Form submitting doens’t work if you specify a wrong nonce. Take a look at my searchings:
post_form’s _wponce, what is it?
http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/bbPress/_bb-includes—functions.bb-pluggable.php.html
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
You can create a nonce key with this funcion:
bb_create_nonce();
I will continue with the searching and testings.
Hi I had a username and password that was created when I installed bbpress. For some or other reason this username/password is not accepted any more.
This is new install using latest alpha bbpress because I wanted to integrate it with buddypress.
I have a created a few forum topics but I can start all over.
The only solution I have is to delete the install and the tables and start all over again.
Can you please suggest how to proceed?
Thanks

1. To add anything to the login page, just edit the login.php or login-form.php in your template folder. Since the login form is just a tiny space, you might just have a small text link there to a full disclaimer file.
2. Yes, with the 0.9.0.4 version and the latest WordPress (well, 2.7 anyway), you can use one of these two solutions:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
It’s not advisable to use on a live site, and I think avatars are built in to 1.0. Try a test installation and see how it works for you.
hmmm.. that might be the problem then.. I am using an administrator ID, but someone else orig set it up and has the original admin (keymaster) ID.. Thought all permissions were the same… Is there a way to make additional ID’s with same permissions as the orig admin (keymaster) ID?
I have the latest versions of both WP and BBpress..
thx for the reply
@adeboy
where would you put the code:
require_once('../../bb-load.php');
$topics = get_latest_topics( );
edit: @kevinjohn: i wont read all of that but “thumbs up”
@chrishajer – Its not quite ready for primetime but you just make a very basic page with the bb-load.php include and then you can get the latest topics/comments and create some links. You need some simple css in the page to match your site styling for the links and target the top frame in the links
require_once('../../bb-load.php');
$topics = get_latest_topics( );
Your homepage might have adverts, widgets, maps etc which will often load in an iframe, as well as images, so the latest topics appear as part of the page build up.
One day i might get round to proper integration but until then, it works fine
@swaymedia – grow up
@Ipstenu
As I said, just becuase you do not want deep integration it doesn’t mean the majority won’t. It is going over the top to call it a “Silver Bullet” just becuase it might have deep intergration.
All I want to do is use the BBPress loop to add the latest topics on the index.php page of WP. … Getting told “oh well theres a plugin for that, for your sidebar” is probably the stinkiest response any one can give. People want to customize things, thats what BBPress is about, we dont want rigid fixed plugins. And not to mention really really lame. Deep intergration is the “right tool for the right job” for the majority of people using BBPress… except it wont be there.
@CK
both points are too weak to stop deep intergration and are probably really insufficient to fight your side of the argument. Dedicated servers will always be used for a large community base that has enough power to crush a shared server.. which is not that likely anyway.
Hey Guys,
I just installed bbPress with integration with WP, everything went well even the login integration.
But now I’m getting ‘Page not found’ for any page I try to access in the Forum.
I’ve installed the latest alpha version Version 1.0-alpha-6.
http://www.ceneffi.com.br/forum (that’s should be the forum)
is someone facing the same problem?
personally i think CK should stop helping out, it will at least put pressure on the Millionaires of Auttomatic to hire a proper Dev Team.
Right now where all being guinea pigs, being tested out… if we all voice our concerns… The will at least come out of “Target Audience Test Mode” and get the product finally going properly.
Can I hold two databases in same place using mysql, one is for forum and another is for myself (not for wordpress)?
When I install bbpress 0.9.0.4, it can’t been connected with forum-database(stick in step 1), although I use databaseConnect.php to test it that success connecting forum-database. But I use myself-database to replace it, it is work and pass step 1. 2. 3. (myself-database is first, forum-database is second in order.)
But it can’t be loged in, anybody password is incorrect in my forum. After using recovered password it still doesn’t work. I think the problem is forum-tables mixed with myself-tables, they stay in one database. So I want to reinstall bbPress but I worry to stick step 1 same before. Could you give me some suggestion.
I use bbPress 0.9.0.4 , not integrated with WordPress. My server use Linux CentOS, Apache 2.2.3, Mysql5.045 and Php 5.1.6 .
I’m having the weirdest problem with Firefox and logging in on a fresh bbpress installation. In Firefox, after logging in, any previously viewed page still shows the login form rather than showing that you are logged in until I hard refresh the page. I’ve tested this on multiple computers with various OS, and it’s the same on all, IE logs in fine, Firefox needs a refresh. Somehow I think this is a server configuration issue, as I haven’t seen this on any other BBPress installation, but it’s odd the behaviour only shows in Firefox and wouldn’t know where to start looking if it really is a server issue.
I started with an alpha 1.0 installation for integration with WP 2.7 and was having the same issue, so I tried a standalone installation 0.9.0.4 the other day and continue to have this behaviour.
Yep.. is everything same? or do we have anything else to consider?
@matiaspunx: what version did you integrate? The cookies are not compatible with the 0.9.0.4 version of bbPress and WordPress versions greater than 2.5 (like the latest 2.7.1 version.)
Also, did you try clearing all the cookies or using a different browser to log in?
These two solutions exist for making logins compatible with WordPress latest and bbPress 0.9.0.4:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-27-cookie-integration
People!!! Thanks for the replys!
@chrishajer: I have installed the latest stable version of bbPress: The “Brubeck” version 0.9.0.4
@_ck_: I have rebuilded the .po file… (¿do i have to rebuild the .mo file too?…)
I will try with the ayudawordpress.com´s translation… let me test it and i will talk again.
Thanks!
Definitely make sure you are using the newest Human Test.
If you are, and they are bypassing it, I need to know so I can break out the next level of protection.
I have not tried this plugin but it might help somewhat:
New Stop Forum Spam API Plugin; Block Fake User Registrations
Last but not least, if you have wordpress integrated they might be sneaking though there even if you have the links to it’s registration page disabled, it still leaves the api open (you’d have to physically rename/remove wp-login.php)
Hello
I’ve been using bbpress 0.9.0.1 for months without any big problem. But this time, I don’t know at all what happens :
When I post a new topic or reply to a topic, everything goes well except that instead of redirecting me to the topic, bbpress shows a blank page.
I see nothing special in error logs…
I tried to delete my cookies and post again but this doesn’t solve the problem.
Do you have any idea ? What could it be ?
I took a look at bb-post.php. If I echo “test”; before this line :
$post_id = bb_new_post( $topic_id, $_POST );
Then it works. But if I put it after, then it doesn”t display test.
So bb-post doest post the stuff, but there may be an error after that.
Thanks a lot for your help… I’m stuck!
Gautier
