Hello,
I just activated the plugin for post counts on my forum and it works just fine. However, I wanted to add the post_count() string to my profile.php in my template. However, where I wanted to add it was under the “Member Since” information and that isn’t stored directly in the profile.php.
My question is this: How can I add it in there and have it display like the other information for all my users?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I’m currently in developement of a gaming website over at http://www.hooligans-gaming.net
I’ll be using WordPress along with bbPress to bring out the site to it’s full beauty as soon as time grants it.
I wanted to know if there is a plugin out there or a way I can make it so when I post a news post on the front page that it will also post in a forum I will have created called “News & Updates” to serve as an archive of sorts.
The forum would be locked except for those posts.
Any ideas?
I am a bit confused about the wordpress and bbpress integration plugins.
Is WordPress Integration(0.7) plugin necessary? it was last updated a year ago, and I now have single signon between the two apps without the WordPress Integration plugin. Does it do something else that I am not aware of?
thanks
I had not seen this posted before and I just (finally) figured it out so I thought I’d share.
If you’d like to give the user a friendly redirect back to the topic (or forum) they were at just before they logged in (instead of the front page) simply open the login-form.php template in your theme and add this BEFORE the final </form>
<input type="hidden" name="re" value="<?php echo "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].'?'.$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="<?php echo bb_get_option( 'uri' ) ?>" />Should work on anything except maybe IIS.
Hopefully you folks can help me. I have a few questions about integration and bbPress. What I have right now is a custom built populated member database with passwords, usernames, emails, etc.
What I would like to do is get bbPress to “hook” into this database instead of having to have two member/user tables to keep synchronized. Is there a certain way you’d go about doing this, that perhaps isn’t too messy? Or will it require rewriting a lot of code?
I’ve found a lot of WordPress integration help here, but really not much on integrating with other types of websites (aside from template editing). So any help would be great, even if you just give me a little push in the right direction. Thanks. 
Just wanted to put out my bbPress installation that I’ve worked on. It’s completely integrated (for user accounts, authentication, registration etc) with a very customized WPMU install as well.
Our system gives users the ability to manage a custom avatar (uploading, then cropping to 2 different sizes), plus handles all of their (extended) profile information.
Hope you like it!

Hi,
I don’t mean to post twice, but I realized that I replied this to a thread that had already been resolved.. so I am posting a new topic.
I am trying to integrate bbpress(0.8.3.1) with wordpress mu (1.3.3), and I am having some issues with cookies for login/logout.
I’ve tried setting this: (“MD5hash” replaced with my MD5)
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_MD5hash';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_MD5hash';
However, that didn’t seem to allow single sign-on login(meaning, if I am log into wp, go to bbpress and find myself already logged and vice versa)
Watching the cookies during the login/out process on WP MU, I found that the cookie names that WP MU uses are: “wordpresspass” and “wordpressuser”
So in config.php for bbpress, I used:
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';
This works somewhat, let me explain:
This scenario works:
Log into WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself already logged into bbpress.
Log out of WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself logged out of bbpress.
Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU, I find myself logged into WPMU
This doesn’t work:
Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU (I find myself logged into WPMU) AND THEN when I try to log out from WPMU, I can’t log out.
I refresh BBpress page, and I am not logged out either.
If I log out from BBpress at this point, then I am logged out of WPMU as well.
I have a feeling it might be something with WPMU, but I thought I’d post here first since this is where I found all the information about the integration. Thanks for your help. I am appending my config.php relevant to the integration part.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
thanks for your help.
Is there a way to remove the second “forum” from urls? I have setup my forum just like this one, mysite.com/forums/’forum’- seems unnecessary.
Also is there a way to remove /topic/ from posts? It would be nice if everything was off the root like WP.
I set up bbpress at board.veryserious.org. It worked just fine for a few months but all of a sudden today it shows me blank page when I go to the board.
board.veryserious.org/register.php for example comes up just fine but board.veryserious.org/index.php appears to be blank (o kb). Has security been compromised somehow?
I’ve uploaded the folder onto the server, and it’s going through the install process perfect. The catch is it looks as if I’m missing css files – as if someone turned the style sheets off on my browser. Any ideas on this?
