That’s great news, OzPoker! Glad to hear the upgrade went well.

You’ve been warned though!

I’d like to comment for anyone who comes across this thread, if you do this just to get into the bbpress admin panel, *none* of the changes will carry across into BuddyPress -> Groups -> Forums views. You have to run an external bbPress installation for that to happen.

Copied the file as you recommended and still can’t find an admin panel for bbpress. Where do I go after copying the file?

Also, I took the bb-config.php file from the root, but there’s bb-config-sample.php in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ are those the same?

Anyway…where’s the bbpress admin panel?

Best,

Dainis

PS: Is it because I installed buddypress first and then used the one click thing to install bbpress? I really don’t feel like wiping everything out and starting over just to re-order the installs…

Speaking of trolls… an ignore plugin for bbPress would be a good thing to have. I found one… but it’s quite old (last update in 2007).

@auturo Since I see you and others are posting some new questions in the forum about bbpress integration. perhaps ya’ll should follow Boones’ lead on it regarding (whether to maintain an external installation of bbPress or migrate over). https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-after-bp-upgrade I believe the groundwork for what you need to know is here.

You’ll need to add a bb-config.php file to the bp-forums directory in order to access it. You can take a look at this thread.

you may need to do something like bpGroups which sends an xmlrpc request to BP and updates the activity.

Do not bump your post after ~16 hours. 48 hours, sure, 16, no.

install bbpress with cookie integration (use the same key in bb and wp config), add the deep integration code at the top in bb-config require_once(‘/full/path/to/wp-load.php’); and then you’re ok.

if you want in the activity the bbpress post atm is not possible, this require a plugin or other stuff.

BuddyPress’s standard “forums” links are created with the assumption that BP is using the standard integrated version of bbPress. Since your installation is elsewhere, you’ll have to redirect those links. It should only be in one place:

In header.php of your BP theme, replace <a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_FORUMS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></a> with <a href="http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/forums/" title="<?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

As for your more general question, I faced the same issue with a project of mine (whether to maintain an external installation of bbPress or migrate over). I decided that, in the long run, it would be best to move to the standard, integrated version of bbPress. I described the process here: http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/upgrading-from-buddypress-1-0-to-1-1/

Not sure what’s causing your login issue, but it might be fixable by hardcoding the link into your theme’s header.php file. Replace <?php echo site_url( 'wp-login.php' ) ?> with the correct path to the login page.

Hey Arturo,

The CSS for the admin bar can be found here:

/wp-content/themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css

@DCCartwright – i think it’s a winner. I think you’ll find a lot of interest in this… Folks have hacked it (mediawiki) together in various ways..and you might benefit from a team effort with some of these guys that have done so.

I have a problem:

how do i pickup the group_id of the forum topic. Thant way i can build the link to the from topic from the home page.

bp_get_the_topic_object_permalink() – not working

Burt perhaps you can assist.
