bbPress.org

I want to show wordpress recent posts list on BBpress forums.

Can anyone help me?

It’s been two days since I started trying to install bbpress and I’ve scoured the forums and the internet to try to find an answer without much luck (isn’t there a FAQ somewhere for people like me?)

Here’s the details on what I did.

1. Created a new database called “bbpress” in cpanel, the database name it gives me is thechonx_bbpress

2. Added user from my wordpress database, thechonx_chinker

3. downloaded, unzipped bbpress, edited config-sample.php and renamed it to config.php (how I edited it is shown below–I think I should change BBDB Host, but don’t know what to change it to)

4. Created a folder in my public_html root (where all my wp files are uploaded) called “forum”

5. Uploaded all the files (minus original “bbpress” folder) to “forum”

6. Opened this address in my Firefox browser (I am running Mac OS Leopard 10.5.1): http://www.thechonx.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php

–attempted other URLs like localhost led to blank pages or 404 pages

7. Received “Cannot Select DB” error

I’ve tried a dozen other variations of the above, mostly changing config file info but no dice. Help please!

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

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

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

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’); // …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 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 the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

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

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.thechonx.com/forum/’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Rumble in The Chonx’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘thalia.kwok@XXXXX’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 8;

// 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 BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ”; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.thechonx.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.thechonx.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

query style, numeric and slug-based permalinks, what is the difference ?

Hi peoples.

I translated my bbpress to Heberw. Recently I moved a host (from goDaddy to site5, if you are curious).

and moved my Db from one to the other.

I used the wp-backup plugin to create the SQL, and imported it using the phpMyAdmin at site5.

After some games it worked fine with my blog:

http://www.humus101.com/

but the forum’s text is all question marks:

http://www.humus101.com/forums/

Any ideas as to what to do ?

Alright, I have added everything it asked for, got got it directly and it is all right, that I can find. I also searched through the php files to see if I could tell where and when the error is occurring.

The database is there, and the login and password are correct; could I possibly have the ‘BBDB_HOST’ wrong?

I’ve been trying to hack the 2col_fixed_left theme provided by bbpressraw.com (many thanks) to fit into the website for the small nonprofit that I work for. I’ve gotten pretty far with it, but I’m stuck on a weird ordered list issue that looks fine on FF but is pretty screwy on IE.

The site can be accessed at http://www.belovedcommunitycenter.org/forums. The frontpage looks fine, but the topics.php displays the post number and author name over the post content.

Any tips folks have for a amateur designer would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Kyle

Is there any way I can use an email address as the user name?

This is OK in WordPress but not in BBPress, so integrated logins dont work.

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Hi all,

I’d like to be able to post to my forum from another page and when I see the <form> attach to the reply area in every topic, they all have a _wpnonce hidden value send which mean I don’t understand. Could someone tell me what if this value is not given or wrong? (compared to what?).

Tks for help

Hello Everyone

I have integrated WordPress with bbPress and skinned them the same, but when I log into bbPress, or add a forum/topic/post i get a redirect error. I dont know what it wrong.

Hello, I need urgently a designer to port WordPress theme to BBpress with some little modification. Please let me know (of course pay for work).

Many thanks!
