DJPaul is right, you need to complete your integration. You’ll need to do than copy the defines over. For reference, what version are you using?

Well are you sure they work? Because unless I am misunderstanding what you’ve explained above, it seems it isn’t.

You need to set up cookie integration for your BP / BB properly.

And obviously you need to look on / ask at the BBPress forum for help importing information. That is not a BuddyPress subject.

I remember the days of ezboard! Truly old school!

You’ll need to contact Yuku support in order to export the contents of your board.

That’s the first thing you’ll need to worry about.

Second of all, since BP forums run on bbPress, you’ll need to find some type of generic importer for bbPress. This will have to be a custom job since there isn’t a built-in import function in bbPress yet.

Not easy I’m afraid.

Yes, it will still be possible to do this, but it will take a little smoke and mirrors until forums aren’t only for groups in BuddyPress. Forums don’t care who made them, but BuddyPress still needs a mechanism to gather and present the information outside of a group setting.

If it doesn’t make the 1.1 release I’m hoping to find the spare time to offer a “forum directory” plugin at the 1.1 launch, probably similar to the members and groups directories.

Bpisimone, I think what you meant was discussed in another topic, I was writing about editing images from 3 different directories to adjust my design, which can become a bit annoying when upgrading.

In this topic it’s about making the forums look the same like the rest of the site, including buddybar (this one is already working on the bbpress default theme), header, navigataion and footer. Or did I get something wrong?

Hey there,

I have found sort of a solution that works for me. I needed two Plugins for bbpress:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/105

http://www.adityanaik.com/projects/plugins/bb-private-forums/

You can set which forum is visible to who. Glad I found those.

Cheers,

It must be possible somehow, b/c these forums here are integrated the same way. It is still stand-alone, but looking the same like the rest of this site. Please guys, tell us your secret.

The equivalent to wp-config is bb-config in your bbpress/ folder. I do have a path to my wp-blog-header.php, but that was for put the buddybar on top of the forums. I also have experimented with ThemePress, a theme that’s supposed to load your header and footer, but it all looks messy and won’t show the buddybar, or the link to the forums in my nav.

Any other ideas would be welcome.

I would like to know how to solve this too! I haven’t found any plugin for bbpress yet.

This is the best post I have seen on the subject.

Could someone direct me to a complete guide about how to set up the forum at the buddypress end or post a guide in here (wasn’t able to find anything)?

I have set up bbpress, but when I click on post new in the group interface I just get a white page?

Hey r-a-y I tried to get to burts website and download his XMLRPC- debugger but his site is down or something it just says address can not be found. I have the same problem you did where I can not post to the group forum but a new forum gets created for the group on the forum’s main page. Not sure what to do at this point. Maybe you can send me an email with the debugger so i can check for the errors that are causing this.

I also tried downloading a new xmlrpc file and replacing it with my current one but no help there it was the same file size.

Thanks for any help or guidance to a solution,

Aaron.

Oh I am using all the up to date wpmu buddypress and bbpress software available.

@John James Jacoby, i DL the zip from the trac. I can also confirm that there must be some issue with the trac zipper, because i don’t have a bbpress directory in buddypress/bp-forums/ directory.

@Andy: Should i still report this issue in trac?

I have another issue with the Side Wide Activity widget. It doesn’t show the status updates and some other things. Could this also be due to an issue with the zipper?

Welcome Albert.

This has been covered quite a bit in the forums, so search around for a bit and see if you can find what you’re looking for. Long story short, it uses something dubbed “deep integration” for lack of a better term, but it isn’t recommended for everyone and will be an obsolete method soon.

@21cdb, did you DL the zip from the trac, or did you SVN? I think there’s an issue with the trac zipper and it not including the external bbPress library. Can you verify that you have a bbpress directory in your buddypress/bp-forums/ directory?

I’m using wpmu 2.8.4a with the latest trunk (r1757) on my local machine.

When i’m trying to activate the forum on some group i get the following error message:

Warning: require_once(/home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 25

However Forums Setup on the dahsboar says:

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install

I tried to re-install, but still get the same error. Any suggestions? Is this normal with the latest trunk?
