Thank you for the help. 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

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

[gkp99]

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.

[crazlunatic]

That is great. I really appreciate your help but now I want to integrate it into wordpress. How can I do this?

http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/

This is how I edited my config:

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘craz_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

/* Stop editing */

[chrishajer]

It looks bad because the path to your style.css is wrong. The stylesheet should be here, but it’s not:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

So, where is it really? I suspect the path in the config.php and the URL you are using to access the forum are not the same, and that’s why you see the forum without any styling.

Wait – it’s actually here:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

So, in your config you called the directory forums but you actually installed it in the directory bbpress. You need to fix your config.php.

You have this:

$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/’;

It needs to be this:

$bb->uri = ‘http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/’;

(or, you can leave the config alone and change the name of the bbpress directory to forums.)

Fix that and everything will look as it should. You may need to do a hard refresh or clear the cache in your browser to see the effect of the changes. CTRL SHIFT R in Firefox.

[crazlunatic]

Hmmm. I think that might have helped but my forums looks reallly bad

http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/

Edit: Actually now when I log in, it takes me here: http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-login.php

And yes I did make changes like adding the functions code, but I don’t think I need to use it, do I?

[gkp99]

I just made a test post with the title Bob’s Post but it has been saved and is displayed as Bob/’s Post. Is this a bug?

Thanks

[crazlunatic]

Hello. So after I have installed it, I’m taken to a login screen where I login, and then I get taken to this page. http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/

Why is this? I’ve tried reinstalling 3 times and the same thing happened.

All of my plugins are 0.9 compatible – if not, I will make them so, just give me a bug report. You should always be using the newest version of my plugins BEFORE you upgrade.

Virtually all of them tested working under the current beta. “Admin Instant Menus” may stop working if the WP menu system is folded into bbPress before release.

“Year Long Cookies” should not really be necessary any more because of the new 0.9 “Remember Me” option on login, unless perhaps one has a forum on an intranet and you don’t want to bother people with logins, ever.

[Sam Bauers]

Please post here which versions of your plugins are compatible with bbPress 0.9

Here are the ones I look after that I have tested so far.

• Restrict registration for bbPress – version 2.0.3
• Sphere related content for bbPress – version 0.2.1
• Support forum – version 3.0

More to come.

[_ck_]

The auto-close-tags was broken in earlier versions of bbPress but if I am not mistaken, this is possibly fixed in 0.9 (out any day now).

I just tested it on bbshowcase.org and leaving off the end tick simply treats the open tick like any other character (ie. no text is converted to code)
