Please where Can I find : auth_salt and secure_auth_salt, Still stuck at the 2nd installation steps. Trying to integrate wordpress and bbpress

I formerly had login integration working between wordpress and bbpress, but it stopped when I upgraded to bppress 1.0. For wordpress I’m on version 2.8.3. Perhaps i did something incorrectly. These keys are not present in the bb-config.php file.

BB_AUTH_KEY

BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

BB_NONCE_KEY

I added them to the bb-config.php file from the wp-config file. All the salt keys match the ones in wordpress, and I checked the meta table in the db to be sure.

i added the following line to wp-config and bb-config

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/lhw/’ );

Is it possible that bbpress wasn’t installed correctly to use the new security features? Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I’m seriously considering dropping FluxBB (that i’m currently using for a large messageboard) and using BBPress.

I would stop using FLuxBB for various reasons (mostly because i feel like FluxBB isn’t really alive anymore development-wise and also because i’ve been using wordpress for many many years and really digg the WP/BBpress community & coding) but… i was wondering is BBPress would do the job for a large messageboard with many users and connections everyday ?

I’ve tested BBPress many times, installed the latest version again yesterday for a test run and tested many plugins, tried customizing themes to see if it would fit my needs etc. and it looks sweet but there’s one thing i can’t tell: would BBPress work fine with many users ? Would it be just as good and even better than FluxBB once i’ve installed the plugins needed and export everything from FluxBB to BBPress ?

Do any of you use BBPress with hundreds of users on a daily basis ? It is running smoothly ? Is it responsive and fast ? It is made to work with huge amount of users and connections ?

Thanx for your feedback. I’d really appreciate any experience you have / had.

I know there are many topics out there dealing with this, but there doesn’t seem to be a set way of doing it. Right now, I have…

require('/home/jwrbloom/public_html/wp-load.php');

…in my bbconfig.php file. I have changed all of the bb_get_header to get_header in my bbPress theme, and I have done the same with my footer. What isn’t carrying over is my site’s navigation. I’m using the Hybrid News theme for WP and kakumei for bbPress.

I’d like to have full or most of my WP functionality for my bbPress, but at this point, other than maybe adding some widgets to a sidebar, I’m not sure what my plan is there. I definitely need all of my header information.

What is the direct admin login path to bbPress? I have been going through the bbPress forum to get to admin page. I would like to go to it directly as in WP login.

Thank you.

I’m trying to get the wordpress functions inside of bbPress and vice versa, and therefore get the buddypress functions into bbPress as well. I tried the method described here: http://labs.b5media.com/blog/creating-the-anypress-solution/ but to no avail. In short, it involves adding this code to the bottom of my bb-config.php file:

// Include WordPress functionality

$currDir = dirname(getcwd());

// Make sure this isn't install or admin (go up if it is)

if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

$currDir = dirname($currDir);



if(!file_exists("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php"))

die("Cannot find WordPress integration files.");



error_reporting(E_ALL);

require_once("$currDir/wp-blog-header.php");

The only clues I have from my error logs are a 404 error and a white screen of death when I try to access my forum root, which is at /community. Also, my rewrite log is here: http://pastebin.ca/1572291

Please note that im using an external install of bbPress intentionally because I need the forums to be centrally located and somewhat separate from my blog. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

i would like to add the “first poster” column to my kakumei template.

I found three threads dedicated to this subject, but i cant put them together:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-author-name

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/show-post-author-next-to-last-poster

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/201

Is it true i ONLY have to modify my forum.php and frontpage.php in my templates folder?

I tried following some directions, but it only added the author to ONE line, so i am pretty sure i am doing something wrong.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi I want to make my bb press forum the same as my wordpress page.

Is there and easy way to do this?

thanks

Hello,

I’m planning to using bbPress on a WP site/blog I am currently working on, on my local. WordPress is up and running already, a relatively clean install save for a couple of themes, and some entries. No plugins yet. I download bbPress, upload it underneath my WP root directory (where the blog is), change config to match WP config (for my local it’s just changing out the database name; I have a username/password account set up already for each of test installs), and try to install. I get:

DB Error: cannot select

…on all pages. I’ve looked at both bb-config and wp-config and the database values are identical, except for the suffix variable naturally. I’ve checked the database, only wp_* tables are there. I am using a fresh bbPress download.

Just for completeness’ sake (comments removed for brevity):

bb-config.php excerpt:

/** The name of the database for bbPress */

define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');

/** MySQL database username */

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘username’ );

/** MySQL database password */

define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );

/** MySQL hostname */

define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );

/** snip snip **/

/**

* bbPress Database Table prefix.

*

* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique

* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

*/

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

wp-config.php excerpt:

/** The name of the database for WordPress */

define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’);

/** MySQL database password */

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);

/** MySQL hostname */

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

/** snip snip **/

/**

* WordPress Database Table prefix.

*

* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique

* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

*/

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Again, I have a username/password user setup on my local MySQL database for testing purposes, so yes, it is expected that those will be staying the same.

Any info on this would be great. Thanks!

Ashfame tracked down this post that mentions our fearless leader:

What is the future of bbPress? Through the grapevine, I’ve discovered that Sam Bauers no longer works for Automattic but he is still involved with the bbPress project. How much he is involved I don’t know. It’s interesting to me because I’ve always attributed bbPress as Sam’s project but in reality, Matt Mullenweg wrote bbPress in the time span of a weekend and then handed off the project to someone else to maintain.

So if Sam is not the lead project developer, who is?

http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/860-future-bbpress-undecided.html

The clincher is that Sam is no longer listed on the automattic team page (although earlier versions of that page on archive.org show him there) : http://automattic.com/about/

So for whatever reason, it sounds like Sam has possibly moved on professionally?

Sam, if that’s the case – I just want to thank you for all of your hard work! You’ve been a real gift to the bbPress community, and we greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication.

If that’s not the case, I hope you’re having a relaxing few weeks off.
