Hi.
I want to create a forum on my WordPress 2.7 website and I decide to try bbPress, but I don’t know what integration method will be the best and I wonder wheter it is possible at all. I want fully integrated bbPress and WordPress (common header, footer, user database, etc., saying simply bbPress included in a WordPress page). Could you help me? Or maybe should I use an other script like Simple:Press Forum, punBB or phpBB? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
rootf.
Hello, I want to use bbPress but I am not using WordPress for my website at all. Do I need to have WordPress installed and setup on my domain for bbPress to work??

Hi, so I’ve run into a bit of a problem on the installation process. I get through all the steps but then when I press complete the installation if gives me the following error:
The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.
I deleted and then re-uploaded bbPress 3 times and each time I get this result. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I’m trying to install it on a subdomain, forums.wearelabor.com, and trying to integrate it with WPMU/BuddyPress. Any and all help very much appreciated.
My forum is on bb-press 0.9.0.2
I tried to use an old language file after 1.04a-2.7 deep integration but it didn’t load. I changed define(‘BB_LANG’, ”) in config.php and copied the old .mo file to bb-includes/languages.
Is it possible to use a language file after deep integration?
DB Error in bb_insert_topic: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'topic_id' at row 1
INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_id,topic_title,topic_slug,topic_poster,topic_poster_name,topic_last_poster,topic_last_poster_name,topic_start_time,topic_time,topic_open,forum_id) VALUES (”,’Your first topic’,’your-first-topic’,’1′,’admin’,’1′,’admin’,’2008-12-16 05:10:50′,’2008-12-16 05:10:50′,’1′,’1′)
This problem has been around since the previous 1.0 alpha releases. The installation would say that it was successful but it would not create a topic as that error in the last stage would indicate.
The first forum is created and it says there is 1 post but upon clicking said forum it presents you with a “New Topic in this Forum” form. When you post a new topic, it gives you an error: “This topic has been closed.”

Curious to know if plans exist to ever use a templating engine like Smarty in order to separate logic for design.
So that no more code and HTML are in the same file
Anyone have any idea when bbPress 1.0 will be release?
I’m not asking for a specific date … it would just make it a lot nicer to know if bbPress is within a month of being finished, 3 months, 6 months, etc..
The reason why I ask is because for this past year, I’ve been under the impression that the 1.0 release was going to be “soon”.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I have an old issue with bbpress-wppress integration that I can’t solve.
I use this wp-plugin to sanitize user names;
What this plugin does is that whenever a user registered as “Joe” tries to log in as “joe”, “jOe”… can login.
However bbpress is not compatible with this plugin, when activited bbpress reports this error;
Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in 
wampwwwwordpresswp-includesformatting.php on line 453In formatting.php line 453 obviously we have wordpress function sanitize_user and it seems bbpress doesn’t like to have this function modified.
I just wanted to ask if anybody knows another way to sanitize usernames because it is a pain to have all the time people complainig that they can log in because they registered as “Joe” and try to access with “joe”
