BuddyPress.org

Same here. I pulled everything from the subversion trunks:

WPMU:

– Checked out revision 1908.

BuddyPress:

– Checked out external at revision 148. (that would be bbPress I guess)

– Checked out revision 279.

– Checked out revision 2316.

– Checked out revision 1629.

But I didn’t get a bb-config.php file in the root of my WPMU installation as expected (had set the root to chmod 777 before activating the BB Forums in BuddyPress).

In Component Setup of BuddyPress, bbPress Forums are enabled. When I go to Forums Setup it says “bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install”, but it ends there, just like Mariusooms reported.

This is a local install on Mac OS X in /Library/Webserver/Documents. All the other stuff related to WPMU and BuddyPress works flawlessly (Thanks guys for such a easy setup procedure).

Would appreciate someone telling us what I’m missing.

I managed to get this working correctly on a fresh install, but then got the white screen of death. Seems to be out-of-sync with Burt’s BP Groups plugin. On activating that with Buddybar for BBPress get cannot activate group plugin fatal error cannot redeclare IXR_IntrospectionServer in BBIncludes/Backpress/class.ixr.php line 873………

Any thoughts????

i’m now having this error. disabled the bbPress Forums and now when i try to enable then save, it doesn’t enable – it stays disabled.

Read these, I am sure they will help you.

I have the same error. I am using the same versions.

On your dashboard look for buddypress, then go to “components setup” and disable any of the options listed there. Afterthat you are not able to activate that component anymore, if you activate a component and click save, aparently it is saved but no. just click anywhere an click again on components setup and you will see that is not activated. Playing a little bit with this you will realize that at least 1 option will not be actitvated ever.

I don’t see what creating the page could do to interfere with the admin bar in bbPress…

That post has nothing to do with bbPress.

Something else is gumming this up for you… Hmm…

It might just be lack of sleep, but I still don’t understand exactly what you’re saying.

If the forums aren’t enabled when you go to create a group, then something isn’t installed/configured correctly. I promise you that when all is done correctly, it works perfectly fine.

David Lewis,

Give the BuddyBar for bbPress plugin a try.

There’s lots of ways to build bridges between platforms, but no one usually does it until they need to do it themselves.

I’ve never seen ccHost until now, and as powerful as it looks, it really looks like a competing project compared to what WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress already attempts to do, with the help of plugins of course.

People have built integrated logins for phpBB and vBulletin, so I imagine someone could do this for you too.

Create a page in your MU root blog called “forum” and leave it empty. Right now when the WordPress .htaccess file see’s a redirect to domain.com/forum/ it denies it saying the page doesn’t exist. Creating the page on your MU root blog will satisfy the .htaccess file, and still route to your bbPress installation.

Tricky eh?

Have you created a page in your root MU blog called “forum” by chance? Also, it kind of sucks but because bbPress pretty permalinks use “forum” to tell the URL that you’re clicking a forum, having your URL be domain.com/forum/forum/name-of-forum is the reason why most people install bbPress in “/forums/” or something else like “/support/” or “/discussion/”

What I’m saying is that it might just be that bbPress or WordPress are getting tripped up on what the redirect is, and maybe conflicting somehow?

Basically, you need to bang your head against it for a few more hours and figure out what exactly isn’t perfect. Something is out of alignment, and we can’t really tell you what without looking at it for you…

Burt Adsit made a plugin called bpGroups that was able to consolidate the essential user data, but with recent changes to XMLRPC, BP, and bbPress, my guess is that plugin no longer works as expected.

To be honest, WordPress has never really been “light” if you know what I mean, at least not like bbPress is. If you’re using the BuddyPress Group Forums, then you probably have a lot of userdata already available from previous queries in the loop. If you’re using bbPress only and trying to get specific userdata or xprofile data, that’s going to usually require some expensive queries to pull off; I would look at how bbPress already does it with userdata per post, and see how it’s able to to do it. Chances are it’s already been called or that the userdata has already been grabbed previously. If you don’t use an IDE like netbeans to trace variable values, then try a print_r or var_dump of the user variable in the loop, and see what it gives you.

Looks good Rohan. It’s kind of a pain that we have to create three themes for a consistent look… a BP home theme… BP member theme… and bbPress theme… but I guess there’s really no way around that.

How did you get the BuddyPress bar to show up on the forums page? Copy/Paste? I haven’t played with that yet. I found that I had to hard code my main nav bar in the forums header template as well. Which kinda bugs me… but that nav will rarely (if ever) change.

Thanks for the answer about the account. I was pretty confused about that.

Can you link us to your site please?

If you have this integrated as you say, you may be able to completely remove the login in bbpress and just use the integrated cookies to make it work.

Ah. It was a cookie thing. I cleared them all and now I can login. I wasn’t able to get the cookie integration options set properly when I installed bbPress. I’m still confused by step 1 however. Do you need two users? WP Admin and BBPress Admin? Or can you use the same for both? And how do you create the use “on the BBPress” side. Do you do that during installation or after?

p,s, are you aware that on Safari Mac you get a “strong” tag in this forum post editor every time you click in the editor window?

Please elaborate on step 1 in the first post. “1) you have bbpress installed and a new user created on the “bbPress” side which you granted “administrator” rights by the keymaster”. I’m on my third attempt now from scratch. Pretty aggravated. To put it mildly.

p.s. On my third attempt I got WPMU, BP and BBPress installed successfully… but now I can’t log into the WPMU admin side anymore. I get a bunch of redirects to the login page and then the page fails to load due to too many redirects.

It works for me… I’m using bbPress 1.0.1 as well.

FYI, I’m using _ck_’s BBcode Lite and BBcode Buttons Toolbar plugins.

Comment Quicktags does not work with bbpress 1.0.1, nor CK’s bbcode-buttons.

How is it done here? Maybe, Andy can tell us
