BuddyPress.org

One way of doing this is to create a new textarea profile field entitled “Signature” and call it within each BP component you want to use it in.

I know one of the BP mods, John James Jacoby, does this for one of his BP sites, specifically the bbPress forums (eg. a forum thread – http://delsolownersclub.com/discussions/topic/what-will-your-next-mugen-part-be), but I believe he only uses it for the bbPress forums and nowhere else across that BP site.

However, I don’t think it would be *too* hard to call it within the group forums and the wire (I say *too* hard with a little skeptism! hehe). You just would need to edit your BP theme in a number of places to do so.

Thanks for that Tracedef!

I forgot to upgrade the Buddypress Support plugin in bbPress as well! *bangs head on table*.

The thing that threw me off was the version number of the BuddyPress bbPress plugin; it was the same as in BP 1.0.1, so I thought I didn’t need to upgrade!

@el_terko:

Sorry for not being clear!

What I mean by “deep integration” is calling WordPress into bbPress. You can do this by doing what Necati above you said. Then you can just follow the steps I have listed above.

@Necati:

Thanks for posting that for everyone! My instructions weren’t the clearest!

[EDIT]

I decided to post the full code again for clarity’s sake.

On line 2 in bb-config.php (located in your bbPress forum install), add this:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

Now, add this to your bbPress theme’s functions.php (if you do not have a functions.php file in your bbPress theme folder, create one!)

function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {

echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar">';

bp_adminbar_logo();

echo '<ul class="main-nav">';

bp_adminbar_login_menu();

bp_adminbar_account_menu();

bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();

bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();

bp_adminbar_authors_menu();

bp_adminbar_random_menu();

echo '</ul></div>';

}

add_action('bb_foot', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action('bb_admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

I also made one last change to the function because it wasn’t XHTML validating before! See if you can spot the change

Hi r-a-y,

What do U mean by keeping “deep integration” ? Do I need to add step #7 of Terryjsmith post, and then do your magic with bbPress theme’s functions.php ?

The above works for me too on the front page. But as soon as I try to go to admin pages it spits out errors, not able to find the wp-blog-header file.

I am by no means a coder but it worked when I changed the bb-config.php add to:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

In case someone else faces the same problem…

I’ve had no issues with the current trunk version of bbPress. bbPress has been so furiously updated the past few days/weeks, it’s hard to use a RC version because Sam updates the trunk minutes/hours after releasing it once someone finds a bug. Also with WordPress 2.8+ happening, and with cookies changing each time something new comes, bbPress integration has been a constant challenge for not just users, but developers also.

Things should start slowing down soon, but man is all this activity exciting!

But I did go through it and 1.0 RC3 was still laughing at me like the dog on Duck Hunt. Oh how I hated that dog.

That made my day! haha

And I’m still a laggard on BBP 0.9.0.5.

Hey Chris,

There’s at least several of us using 1.0 alpha 6 still.

And there’s a few on 1.0 RC3 (including these forums on buddypress.org).

Looking forward to your updated tutorial when you figure everything out

[EDIT]

Our good friends at UMW have updated their integration tutorial for BP 1.0.2, WPMU 2.7.1 and bbPress 1.0 RC3:

http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress

I haven’t tried it myself, but thought it might help some of you!

I haven’t been able to get anything but bbpress alpha 6 to work with group forums. Perhaps others have a different result. I’m running on MT dv also. I banged my head against it for some time and realized finally that it was an issue with my hosts file. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=426

Any kind of integration between WPMU and bbPress? Do you have a URL to your site that I can see?

Okay everyone!

Here’s an update to my code for the BP admin bar in bbPress.

Keep the existing recreate_bb_admin_bar() function, but for the last part (the add_action’s) use this:

add_action('bb_foot', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action('bb_admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

This uses bbPress’ default header and footer hooks instead of WordPress’, so in theory, you could get rid of wp_head and wp_footer in your bbPress theme.

You’ll still need to keep the deep integration code in your bb-config.php though!

Also this code is updated so you can see the BP admin bar in the bbPress admin area. The code before did not work for that!

Hi, I had the same thing. I had it working on 1 site but not on another. Turns out I forgot to enable the buddypress plugin in the BBPress admin area.

hth.

2 things you can try here. 1. Disable discussion & then enable it again. 2. Try creating a new group & see if you still have the same problem.

notme31, step 1. Make absolutely sure that you’re using the same name & pw on the BP forums setup as you used for your keymaster on bbPress.

You can try my integration tutorial at The Easy Button. Read through it and see if there’s a step that you’ve missed. Or just start from the beginning. You can contact me directly if you still can’t get it worked out. Maybe we can get it working together. Good luck

Hello,

I did ALL you say, even trying “xmlrpc – Say hello from bbPress” plugin, and I received the “Hello from bbPress!” msg but Forums dont work, no way, i am desperate, i have tried bbpress alpha 6 rc1 rc2 rc3, i am just out of ideas.

Can you tell me what more i could check in my server? i tried same procedure in other server and it works ! but its not my server, and in mine no way … phpmemory is 64 mb so…

i have tried for 5 days…. right now there is integration of users, if i log in wp mu I am also imn bbpress but i dont have “enable forums” options, i have the infamous ” Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”

hi, I am having a similar issue. When I try to post a topic, as admin or otherwise, I get the same error – “There was an error posting that topic.”

It posts to the forum though, I can see it there, but it just does not show up on the buddypress front-end. I do have that line ($bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;) in bb-config.php

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

EDIT: Fixed by: upgrading taking the following from the buddypress download – /buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress-plugins/buddypress-enable.php moving to bbPress plugin folder and overwrite the existing one.

I’m on 1.0.2 and still have the issue on the home page, but it is limited to Group Forum posts that are listed. The group forum posts themselves also have them, while the posts that show in BBPress do not ….

For the thing with [p] tags and similar in the Site Wide Activity widget:

Upgrade to BuddyPress 1.0.2, and read this post: https://buddypress.org/blog/news/buddypress-102/#comment-1173.

It will not correct any existing items in your Site Wide Activity, but new items will be fixed.
