Hi ,

I just installed bbpress 1.0-alpha-2 with wordpress 2.6.3, but not intergete with wordpress. the installation is very smooth. but when I access my forum, got Http 404 error(page not found). and my server supports permalink . following is my bb-config.php, please help to take a look.thanks a lot.

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘******’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won’t have to remember the phrases later,

// so make them long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get phrases generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have a different phrase.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match each key to

// the value of their equivalent keys in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

?>

please, could anyone tell me how to reverse the replies order of every topic or only the specific one?

I am trying to install the bbpress tool. I am not very skilled at what I am doing, kind of learn as you go. I have a site vuuch.com and a wp blog at vuuch.com/wordpress. I now want to install bbpress. I have downloaded the install, extracted it and copied to /forum. When i go there I am asked a bunch of things I am not real sure about. This is where I am stuck. My wp blog was installed using godday app installer, so I was removed from so details…

I get “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress” which I think is normal. There is a bb-config-sample.php file at the location.

Questions:

What is the database it is looking for? My guess is i either point it at the wp db or create another one. I would like to create another, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS???

If there are other things I will need to know on the next few step, please point them out.

I think I need to use something call c-panel to create the db but I am not sure nor do I know how to run this…

Thanks so much

I am trying to install bbPress version 0.9.0.2

Installation URL: http://forums.seocoalition.com

Hosting data:

Operating system Linux

Apache version 2.2.10 (Unix)

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL version 5.0.51

So it goes through the whole process and completes it, but when you go to the main page, there is nothing. No error messages, no output, nothing at all.

Since I don’t know what the problem is, I am at a lost as to what to do. I search of the forums hasn’t provided any answers.

Here is the end of installer message:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Create table bb_posts

>>> Create table bb_topics

>>> Create table bb_topicmeta

>>> Create table bb_users

>>> Create table bb_usermeta

>>> Create table bb_tags

>>> Create table bb_tagged

Step 2 – WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Integration not enabled

Step 3 – Site settings

>>> Site name: Internet Marketing forums

>>> Site address (URL): http://forums.seocoalition.com/

>>> From email address: seocoalition@gmail.com

>>> Key master created

>>>>>> Username: admin

>>>>>> Email address: seocoalition@gmail.com

>>>>>> Password: XXXXXXXXXXX

>>> Description: Just another bbPress community

>>> Forum name: SEOC

>>>>>> Topic: Your first topic

>>>>>>>>> Post: First Post! w00t.

>>> Key master email sent

Installation complete!

For security reasons I have X’d out the password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been working on this for a few weeks and its finally complete. There are still a few small bugs left and I’m sure I’ll find more, but I have launched the forum in its present state.

I’m using a few of _ck_’s pluggins. “Instant Password” and “Human Test”

I made quite a few modifications to the core to support what you might call “Virtual Forums” for lack of a better term.

My site lists apartments, I have pages for around 26,000 cities in the U.S. I wanted to have forum content on each page but didn’t want to create 26,000 forums for a few obvious reasons. The main being that probably 99% of the forums would never get any content.

My solution. I created 2 generic forums and 51 state forums. On each one of my apartment city pages I integrated the forum content from the state forum in which the city resides. For example, the Boston, MA apartment page would show content from the Massachusetts forum.

The trick is that if someone creates a topic from the Boston, MA apartment page, the topic is inserted into the bbPress DB with a new column that contains the latitude and longitude of Boston,MA.

If someone creates a topic from the Newton, MA (10 miles from Boston, MA) apartment page. The topic is inserted in the bbPress DB with the latitude and longitude of Newton, MA.

What this allows me to do is show forum content from any City in the U.S. with the forum topics sorted by distance (and secondarily by date) from the City the user is currently viewing.

To show you an example. (Scroll down under the map to view the forum content on the right hand side)

Boston Apartment page

Newton Apartment page

Each forum topic has the City and State that the user posted from prefixed to the actual forum topic.

As you can see the forum posts change order based on what city you view. This is not that useful without many forum posts, but once the forum starts to fill up it will appear that each city page contains a “Virtual” forum based on that city and the cities that are nearest to it.

Hopefully this will not only allow me to engage a much larger audience as most of the forum topics will be relevant to the page they are viewing.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comment. This is very much still a work and progress and can definitely be improved. The #1 thing I’m not happy with is the location of the city forums. I’m working on a redesign that would move the forums, or at least a link to the forums, up near the top of the page.

You can also view the regular apartment forum which has a modified very of the default template.

Hi.

I wondered if it possible to have links to the Login/Register page on BBPress instead of the login boxes.

But i didn’t want to use hyperlinks in the template because i want it to show the links such as to access the site Admin, users profile and logout.

Thanks.

Thanks first for your help.

I had an old version bbpress 0.8. Did not upgrade for a long time, thinking to do it for the beta version release. Now I guess it is a good time to do the upgrade, since holiday season my web traffic is low.

But what should I do to upgrade from bbpress 0.8 to bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 released?

I have a new bbpress forum integrated with WordPress 2.5.

I have 2 topics and 2 posts so far. However ,when I go into the admin panel and click on Manage and Topics and/or Posts there is nothing listed. It looks fine on the Forums page but nothing under Topics and Posts.

Why is that? How do I fix it?

Thanks!

Thanks for this forum integration into WP.

Just what we needed for the blog.

I have one question here….

Why is BBpress much faster than WordPress?

They are freshly installed into a same debian server and wordpress would take a while to load. Most amazingly BBpress just take les than a second to load. Anyone got suggestions?
