No help I’m afraid…sorry. But am I to understand, that when I upgrade to the latest versions of WordPress & bbPress, integration (functioning correctly or not) is already built it, without the addition of plugins etc….??

[pad]

Can someone PLEASE help me, this is ridiculous!!

I have the respective integration plugins enabled on both WordPress and bbPress

1) If I sign up in WordPress, the bbPress user has an inactive role

2) If I sign up in bbPress, the WordPress user has NO role ***AND*** my Key Master account is DEMOTED to a role with no abilities to post, edit profile or anything.

Please someone take some time quickly to help me solve this issue, it must be something I’m doing wrong here.

I’m using the latest 0.9 release and WordPress 2.5

Hi

The role mapping has always been set in the admin, but I clicked ‘Set Role Map’ again – didn’t work. Did a test registration from bbPress… the user in WordPress has ‘no role for this blog.’

Again, I sign up in WordPress, the user in bbPress is ‘Inactive.’

Could this possibly be something to do with the Role Manager plugin in WordPress? If it is, it’s weird as my default role is still Subscriber…

I really want to sort this ASAP as members will be seeing the forums from next week and it will be bad if they can’t access one or other section until I’ve manually changed their roles.

[pad]

I’m running the latest version of 0.9 and WordPress 2.5.

How easy is it to make so that if a user signs up on either WordPress OR bbPress’s register scripts, the correct user role is assigned?

Right now, if a user on my site signs up on WordPress, they get a Subscriber role but no role on the forum. If a user signs up on the forum, they get a Member forum role but no role on the blog.

I dabbled with the plugins to supposedly fix this but succeeding in little more than somehow stripping both my WordPress AND my bbPress admin priviledges, which I had to put back in phpMyAdmin, to much strife. Yes that’s right, I ended up as a bog-standard member on bbPress and a Subscriber on WordPress. It was NOT fun.

I really want to fix this as this is all that stands between me and a fully integrated WP/BBP. Thanks in advacne

I just got an email from someone with a WordPress 2.2.2 site, and all of the sudden she lost the ability to create a new post (in the last month anyway). She gets a javascript error. Take a look at the screenshot:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ajax-permissions.jpg

She is using IE7. I did not get the same error when I logged into her blog and created a new test post or page (with either IE7 or FF.) So, she cleared her cookies and everything is back to normal. Maybe it’s something simple like that for you as well.

I wonder if there was some sort of update on the server (or a couple different hosting companies or something) that is causing these problems. Maybe they upgraded a package because of a vulnerability?

[chrishajer]

How about the “Human Test” plugin?

[crazlunatic]

So what I did was take my original WordPress template and put it in the templates folder and it gave me this:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/wp-content/bbpress/

This is what I want except I want to center it, add some grey boxes behind it and that is pretty much it. How do I do this? Because I’m using the same CSS I used for my original blog template which is at http://vistarewired.com

[rich! @ etiviti]

I’ve had problems with godaddy hosting and with other applications in the past. (caching of htaccess files)

What if you took a copy of bbpress/db and created a local test site and see if things work properly? (xampplite)

Howdy,

WordPress 2.3.3

bbPress latest from yesterday

Wordpress Integration

I’ve created a very simple wordpress plugin to attempt to allow wordpress posts and comments to also be put in a bbPress forum.

When I make a post and my plugin attempts to:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../bbpress/bb-load.php');

I get a blank page, and the post/comment does not get sent to bbpress. I’ve have traced this to the point where bb-settings.php calls this line:

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'template-functions.php');

but no matter what I put in template-functions.php (even writing to a file), I get the blank page.

I’ve checked all my error logs, and there are no errors being logged, not even a 500 error. I’m at my wits end, and late on this project, please help.

Thanks,

Christopher

Hi when i try to install the 0.9 Trunk this error comes up

Warning: require_once(/var/www/web112/html/testeite/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.plugin-api.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web112/html/testeite/forum/bb-admin/install.php on line 17

I was checking my Google sitemap stats and saw this recently for my bbPress sitemap:

URLs not followed

When we tested a sample of the URLs from your

Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible

to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects.

Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect

and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect

target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

Further reading led to this:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=48551&hl=en

So my questions are:

1. What is the reason this is a 302 header (temporary redirect) vs a 301 header (permanent redirect)?

2. Can it be changed in the code or with a plugin to generate a 301 header so Google will follow the URLs?

3. If this is not possible, what would the proper permanent URL be for a tag URL like http://www.example.com/forum/tags.php?tag%3Dghosts

BTW, I am using the Sitemap plugin for bbPress by Richard Boakes. http://boakes.org/talk/topic/31

I can modify that to write the proper permanent URLs to the sitemap if that’s the easiest way to go about it. Or, maybe tags URLs should not even be in the sitemap (they are just pointers to content that exists elsewhere anyway.)

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am currently looking into deploying a site powered by WordPress. I have a phpBB3 forum (with no users) which I would like to keep. I have seen the wp-united plugin for phpBB3, but it isn’t currently being supported. The option of using bbPress seems good to me, but I would like a seamless and fully functional integration with both WordPress and WordPress MU.

If I have to ditch the phpBB3 for the functionality I desire I will do it. I know what my potential userbase will want (post count, ranks, avatars, signatures, embed pics/vids in post, search, PM, etc). For the view, I would like a topic and post count, last post, and a description of each forum. Also subforums would be nice too.

Right now I only have a rudimentary understanding of PHP, but I know HTML and CSS, so I could style the forum myself.

I am a big fan of open source software. I only feel that there isn’t enough cooperation in the open source world. It would be awesome to see some of the best open source projects come together to create a mega kickass platform. My ideal would be (Drupal – please don’t flame me for this one -,Wordpress, and phpBB3). Drupal for the management of pages and function, WordPress for the content publishing, and phpBB3 for the forum.

When I achieve proficiency with PHP I will try to develop a universal user/session platform where the login and session is unified with whatever software you decide to install on top of it. This would be an internal database, not an openly accessible one. I have heard of OpenID, but don’t know anything about it.

WordPress appears to be the best content publishing engine out there, hopefully they become the best forum out there too.

I too am jazzed about the prospects of a WordPress powered forum.

Any opinions, best way to learn PHP, etc?

BTW, this thread is starting to sound like the beginnings of a development group. Mods, plugins, and software to follow soon.

I have found this discussion very stimulating, and would like to participate in future developments. I could deploy a site to use as a testbed.

Same problem here: latest versions of WP and bbPress, FR_fr .mo gives same error message (Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader).

If I get rid of the FR language setting everything works fine.

Maybe it is because WP and bbPress use the same localization routines…

I think one solution would be to merge the .mo files of both apps into one so we have to load only one language file. Because apparently if I load only the WordPress FR localization I see that common terms in bbPress are translated.

I don’t know much about .mo files, does anyone have a clue on how to do that?

[deckardr]

I can’t believe we are the only four drooling over how awesome this plugin functionality will be! My fluency in php isn’t that great, but I would love to help test out this plugin. I’ve got multiple wp and wpmu sites which have a mix-match of different plugins running — it would be an honor to provide you with feedback on compatibility. Thanks for what you’re doing for the open source community!

[chrishajer]

You used to be able to do that with bbSync, but I have no idea if it will still work in the latest release of bbPress and WordPress.

I am running the latest build (as of now) of 0.9 bbPress and WP 2.5 Beta (yesterday’s build).

They (so far) seem to play together really well (great job on the out-of-the-box integration to you bbPress guys!).

I have a question. Is it possible to make a post in WordPress and somehow have it added to a forum in bbPress and comments added to that post in WP added to the topic in bbPress too?

How would one go about achieving this?

Thanks,

Garry

The 0.9 release is being compiled in “branches/0.8” of the bbPress subversion repository. Trunk is already heading toward 1.0-beta.

If you want to test 0.9, then grab the files from here (zip download at the bottom)… https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/0.8

BackPress is not used for 0.9

[gkp99]

Well I just uploaded the latest nightly build of 0.9 and I can’t get it to install so I would just wait for the official one if I were you.

Garry,

I added the code but nothing changed:

Hi, I’ve installed the 0.8.3.1 version into the wordpress v2.3.2 directory.

I tried to localise bbpress in french using the fr_FR.mo found in http://www.adilade.fr/blog/41/bbpress-traduction-francaise.html#comment-281

But when I add the french mo file in bbpress/bb-includes/languages, and the line

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

into config.php file

I’ve the Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class cachedfilereader in E:wampwwwhyporecrs_next2bbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

After many hours of research and tests, the problem seems to be due that there is a confict between wordpress fr mo file and the bbpress one.

Note that to use the header and the footer from wordpress in bbpress, I’ve added:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);

}

into the config.php file

(the bbpress template could then use get_header(); and get_footer(); of wordpress which is very convenient)

Please how can I solve this issue ?

thanks in advance

First off all – I’m sorry if I m posting in the wrong place.

I have just uploaded the latest nightly build of 0.9. I have configured bb-config.php but when I visit bb-admin/install.php I get this error

‘Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. in /home/.omaha/gkp99/www.cocoadummy.co/forums/bb-settings.php on line 365

I am using the same database as for a new install of WP 2.5 (latest build as of now).

Not sure what I’ve done wrong – any ideas? It looks like it’s calling a file called functions.core.php that doesn’t exist.

Garry,

[chrishajer]

crazlunatic: did you try it? That looks like what you need to do for integration, to me. Oh, except I think you need to do that before you install, so that your user tables are integrated. If you changed that after installation, install again.

Integration next week will be different with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the latest bbPress 0.9.
