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.
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 */
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
More to come.
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)
There may be some trickery you could do using iFrames to get the two different domains sending cookies at the same time on login. It wouldn’t be pretty though, and you would have to really test your code for vulnerabilities.
I think it will be something like this
<?php echo '<a href="'.get_profile_tab_link( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ), "edit" ).'">edit your profile</a>' ?>
(untested) the “edit” part is just a guess…
get_user_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' )) will get the profile link for general stuff, not the edit tab.

I get this:

Everything goes through without an error.
I’m trying to delete some posts. When I hit “delete” the post turns red. When I refresh the forum, I find that the posts are still there. They do not show up in the Admin panel of Deleted posts. I was able to delete before… the last one was about a week ago. I haven’t done anything to the forum since then. The last change I made was adding the Report Post plugin, but that was BEFORE I deleted my last post (2/25/08).
I’m running the latest released version of bbPress, which is integrated with WP 2.3.
Here are the plugins that I am currently running in bbPress:
Use Display Name 0.7.2
BBCode for bbPress 0.1
Quote 0.2
Show Post Count .73a
Page Links 1.0.3
Indicate New Posts 0.8
Simple Onlinelist 1.5
Move It 0.14
Censor 0.1
Page >> 0.7
Unread Topics 0.4
Comment Quicktags for bbPress 1.1
bbPress Polls 0.27
bbEmoticons 0.72
Enhanced Registration 0.1.0.1
Report Post 0.12
bb-benchmark 0.17
Actually, this was fixed and tested when Gravatars was implemented in core. I’ve further refined the fixes today and tested across numerous browsers.
Maybe your CSS was cached? Another reason to be running with a CSS version in the stylesheet link uri perhaps?
I’ve noticed there is a serious problem with the way the CSS works for the default Kakumei theme (and any other theme based on it).
As you add information to the post author field on the left, it will start to vertically overflow and start to overlap the next post. This is because the designer unfortunately decided to use a shortcut via position:absolute making it impossible to clear:both columns.
Here’s how to easily fix it by appending two simple lines to the very bottom of the style.css and no need to search for and edit/replace other lines.
.threadauthor {position:relative; float:left; margin:0 -110px 0 0; right:110px; }
.poststuff {clear:both;}
If you don’t want to edit any core files, simply put this into a plugin (make a new one or any existing one)
function fix_kakumei_css() { echo '<style type="text/css">.threadauthor {position:relative; float:left; margin:0 -110px 0 0; right:110px; } .poststuff {clear:both;} </style>';}
add_action('bb_head', 'fix_kakumei_css');
Tested working in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari for Windows. Would appreciate MAC browser feedback?
(I will attempt to automatically include this hack in my plugins to help avoid edits since it’s usually my plugins that add so much info to the left but the new gravatar in 0.9 will also cause the overflow)
Should actually be a core fix now that I think about it.
Wonder why it doesn’t error out here with either quote? Can someone please provide the full text of a post entry that causes this problem, BEFORE it’s inserted, so it can be tested on other platforms?
I’m not able to get this working in WPMU/bbpress:
Using newest versions of both (fresh install 3 days ago)
Site: http://geekdc.com
bbpress: http://geekdc.com/forum
bbpress config.php :
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://geekdc.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://geekdc.com'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'
//if ( isset( $bb->wp_table_prefix ) ){
$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;
$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
$bb->cookiedomain = '.geekdc.com';
$bb->path='/forum/';
//}
/* Stop editing */
Stock WPMU wp-config.php
Using the following plugins on WPMU:
bbpress-integration.php
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress-integration.0.74.zip
Using the following plugins on bbpress:
wordpress-integration
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-integration/
display name
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/
Is there anything else I need to do?
When I first log in to WPMU I get the following cookies:
geekdc.com wordpress_test_cookie (content:’ WP+Cookie+check’)
geekdc.com wordpressuser (content username)
geekdc.com wordpresspass (content: hash)
I go to the forum, and I’m not logged in.
I log into bbpress and I get two more cookies, exactly the same execept for the expiration dates. The WPMU expires at the end of session. The wordpress expires in one week. I do not get another wordpress_test_cookie.
Yes, you need a feed reader. IE7 has one built in, Firefox does too, and you can add RSS feeds to a Google personalized homepage (which is what I took a screenshot of.)
Autodiscovery works fine for your site. Here’s your latest posts feed: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums/rss.php
Google Reader is a feed reader as well. Try viewing your feed there.

Really, I can’t find any place it’s NOT working:

I figured out how to get the Latest Discussions view. Thanks. You were right. It was in the My Views plugin. I just had to activate “Topics I’ve started/ Topics I’ve Participated In”. Thanks again for all your help.
That latest discussions plugin is for wordpress… I’ve been talking about the latest discussions view in bbpress that is part of the My Views plugin.
Thanks. Would you need to have WordPress in order to use the Latest Discussions plugin? You have WordPress and bbPress integrated together, and the plugin’s page said that the plugin will generates Latest Discussion list from your bbpress forum into your WordPress. I’m not using WordPress on my forum.
I’m using whatever the current release is…
My Views actually extends the latest discussions and makes a view out of it.. maybe _ck_ can help answer why yours isn’t working.
Oh. I didn’t know there was a Latest Discussions plugin. But it seems to work only up to .8 and I have version .83. I tried the latest version of My Views, but it didn’t include a Latest Discussions file. What bbPress version do you use?
I think my avatars are an okay size. Thanks for joining my forum by the way.
Ah, the problem appears to be that the latest discussions plugin isn’t installed, or it would show up in the list… I think it’s in a separate file.
If you downloaded the MyViews plugin a while ago, there was a bug in the svn system where some of the files weren’t getting included. You might want to grab the latest version.
ps.. your avatars are a weird size.
latest-discussions is nowhere to be found. Could it be anything else?
