bbPress.org

Just tried to integrate bbpress and wordpress, and now I can’t login to bbpress. I had two users set up in my forum — a key master and a normal user — and I’m getting responses that neither exist. I’m wondering if the problem may be related to the “Locked Out” thread of a couple of weeks back, but I’m not getting any error message when I try call the forum. But neither of my user names is recognized, and I donno how to get into admin to see if they’re still there. I’m using 0.9.0.3 bbpress and 2.7 wordpress. I installed both of them separately then later tried to effect the integration; they reside in separate databases on the server (ddigger1_final and ddigger1_bbpress); bbpress is in a subdirectory of public_html, as is wordpress.

Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve been using wordpress for a while was looking for a good way to integrate a forum with my site tried out bbPress seems great so far.

I’ve made a template to match my main site you can find it at http://www.webguideuk.com/forum

My site is a tutorial site for web design with tutorials and forum to get further help/chat.

Let me know what you think.

Went to upgrade to current version bbPress. Got stuck at 2) Upload uncompressed files? To where, how? “cause then I visited URL and was not greeted by installer, so I guess I did not upload files correctly. It said to rename config.php to old and save, but then does not say what to do with it. I am getting horribly spammed. When I get moderate emails from WordPress, follow link, it will not accept my password to delete or mark as spam. So I want to install Bad Behavior. Can’t figure that one out either. I go to admin page and can’t admin anything. At this point I think I should just shut the blog down. Do you think there any hope?

A little about me: I’m working on a hobby web site. It was going to have a forum, a few database-based applications I’ve written the back-end for, and in the process of deciding what should go on the front page, I figured I should start a blog too. I have a version of the site sort of written using phpBB as the the forum and the templating engine for the web apps, but it’s very frustrating getting phpBB to do what I want it to do…you really can’t do much without editing the core code. On the recommendation of a co-worker, I decided to check out WordPress/bbPress. I’m not sure WP/bbPress is the right solution, but I haven’t found anything I like better….it seems like it’s pretty easy to rearrange things on the page and add new elements as needed.

What I want: My forum should appear on the site similar to a Page. I don’t think I need “deep integration”…I’m not terribly concerned about data integration, other than the fact that signing into WP should sign you into the forums and vice versa. I don’t need the forum to be able to interact with other pages on the site…if I need data from my other apps in the forum, I’ll just grab it from the database using a forum plugin. But I am concerned about appearance integration…I want the WP header and footer, including my logo and nav bar, to show up at the top of the forum page, and I want the forum theme to be similar to (if not identical to) the WP theme.

What’s the safest way to make this happen? I’m very new to WP/bbPress, but I’m not afraid to write code…a certain major website pays me a good bit of money do so during the week

I’m currently testing both versions of bbPress on my site, and I can’t seem to find any way to get the forum to send the registration email to new users from version .9.0.3. On 1.0.3, I have been using the SMTP Mailer plugin with great success…is there anything similar for .9.0.3?

Thanks

Howdy!

Just wanted to see if anyone had a fix for a salt value. I’m working on installing the latest bbpress alpha 1.0.4a intp wordpress mu 2.6.5 with working buddypress integration. I can log into wordpress and bbpress independently, but the values aren’t passing.

Here’s how I’ve mapped the keys and salts (notice one is missing):

????? –> WordPress “auth” cookie salt

SECURE_AUTH_SALT –> WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt

LOGGED_IN_SALT –> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt

AUTH_KEY –> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY –> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY –> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

I’ve tried almost everything, and was hoping someone had a solution.

Cheers,

E

I needed to figure out how I can make a link on my main page (wp) to my forums. my site is willclan4food.net

I know my config file is right and the database name, user and password are ok. I installed WordPress no problem.

when I go to /bbpress , I get the inital screen where you enter the details but as soon as I went to step 2 I just got a blank screen. As soon as there is a config file I get nothing !!.

I’ve looked in the errors and I see “open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/bb-includes/db.php) is not within the allowed path(s):”

Is open_basedir the problem?

Thanks

Hi there i just installed bbpress 1.0-alpha with wordpress 2.7 everything went great untill i started creating useres.

If you go under admin to the user edit profile page i get this error under user type

Warning:array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: the second argument should be an array or an object in functions-bb-template.php on line 2021 >Key Master

Warning:array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: the second argument should be an array or an object in functions-bb-template.php on line 2021 >Administrator

Warning:array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: the second argument should be an array or an object in functions-bb-template.php on line 2021 >Moderator

Warning:array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: the second argument should be an array or an object in functions-bb-template.php on line 2021 >Member

and so on for all user types

this is what i got from line 2021 in functions-bb-template.php

<option value=”<?php echo $r; ?>”<?php if ( array_key_exists($r, $user->capabilities) ) echo ‘ selected=”selected”‘; ?>><?php echo $n; ?></option>

with this error only admin can post comments all other users i guess dont have a type assigned because of this error

wordpress and bbpress our using the same data base, i can login to wordpress and go to bbpress and still be loged in so i know that part works just something with transferring the user type is not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You might want to create a static page outside of your bbPress installation that still uses the matching header and footer you have in bbPress. Well it’s very easy.

Make yourself a directory above bbPress with any name you’d like, let’s say “/about/”

In “/about/” make an index.php with this content:

<?php

require('../forums/bb-load.php');    // change /forums/ to your actual forum path

add_action('bb_head','about_css');

include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."header.php");



function about_css() {   //  put any custom CSS you want in here

echo '<style>

img {border:0;}

</style>';

}

?>



<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; About</h3>



<h2>About</h2>



Your "about" text goes here!



<?php  include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."/footer.php"); ?>
