BuddyPress.org

There’s a few WP plugs that might work (I’ve not tried them and cannot guarantee they will work):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-style/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bm-custom-login/

etc.

You should use wordpress hooks to do that,

but if it works that’s ok, but when will be the next update you’ve to hack the code again

OT “haaah “Che culo!””

You can also check out the following plugin as well

I think the idea is not to have BuddyPress permanently alter the WordPress related data.

I’m new to BP and so I’m not familiar with how all the functions work, but what in the original WP data structure would be altered by deprecating fullname in favor of using the WP fields?

…then really BuddyPress should be able to modify ALL of the original WordPress user info exactly like the profile admin panel does…

I would like that, actually. Or at least to have the option to have the profile be able to modify that information.

I want the original WP functionality that allows a user to choose which fields — username, first name, last name, or nickname — to display for them. I thought that was a great addition to WP and I don’t like that installing BP has effectively cut me and my users off from that choice without some serious code modification on my end.

I think the idea is not to have BuddyPress permanently alter the WordPress related data. Right now, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but past of the design and development process of BuddyPress is that it can be added and removed without any changes done to the WPMU data structure, apart from conveniences like changing a password, etc…

You can rename the “Full Name” in the BuddyPress to say “Nick Name” or “Display Name” or whatever you’d like, and then code your themes to use that info if you so choose…

To be honest, from a developers standpoint, I like how it is right now, as it allows me to keep things separate. If you’d like to open up the ability to modify the fullname, then really BuddyPress should be able to modify ALL of the original WordPress user info exactly like the profile admin panel does, with website, info, firstname, lastname, etc…

I’m with DJPaul; I would like to see BP’s proprietary fullname field deprecated and have WP’s native fields be used instead.

Not only would it allow for more customizability/adaptability of BP themes, plugins, etc but it would also get rid of an extra field that, as far as I can tell anyway, can be handled just as well with WP’s first_name and last_name fields.

I agree that we should put this suggestion into a trac ticket.

@jimthedj65, Regarding WP video framework plugin integrated into BP, you need to liaison with ddmitry on this. He got it working on his site !!

When you use deep integration bbpress clears all the actions and filters. bp runs on actions. It does this as part of the load sequence.

In bb-settings.php:

/**

* Remove filters and action that have been set by an included WordPress install

*/

if ( defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {

$wp_filter = array();

$wp_actions = array();

$merged_filters = array();

$wp_current_filter = array();

}

When I’m using xmlrpc I have to manually fire up the bp globals I want to refer to like:

function oci_bp_group_forums() {



// only do this if the xmlrpc server is firing up and we are servicing a request

if ( defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST') && XMLRPC_REQUEST ){

// bp's globals don't get set until a 'wp' action occurs. this seems to be all that is needed.

bp_core_setup_globals();

groups_setup_globals();

bp_activity_setup_globals();

}

}

add_action('init','oci_bp_group_forums');

That gets triggered by the end of the wp-load.php sequence. do_action(‘init’) is the last thing that happens there.

bp gets woke up by listening to the ‘wp’ action. I think all of bp gets activated by ‘wp’.

I just remember having some problems with xmlrpc and the ‘wp’ action so I manually tied things to the ‘init’ action. All the plugins for bp load, it’s lots of other stuff that gets initialized by ‘wp’.

You MUST share the database for them to be able to share users. bbpress will create some tables in your wordpress mu database and share the users table. If you keep separate databases, deep integration will never work.

It actually doesn’t matter if you do it during installation or after… it turns out to be the same.

Have you seen this article:

http://bavatuesdays.com/integrating-wpmu-buddypress-and-bbpress/

It was extremely helpful with my setup and includes the video you mentioned, with some additional pointers. Also read the comment section for some addtional info.

Just make sure you have the latest versions of both and start off fresh. Follow the article I quoted and give that sigh of relief when you switch from WordPress MU to bbpress and see “Welcome admin!” on top instead of “Login”….

My admin_bar at admin wordpress mu dashboard doesn’t translated, only de admin bar at buddypress area is translated.

./wordpress-mu-root-dirctory/whatever-you-want

Mine is at delsolownersclub.com/discussions/

You just need to make sure you reference that directory everyplace you need to within BuddyPress and bbPress to make sure they see each other.

SWEEET SUCCESSSSS!

Okay… For those of that might be using “deep integration” namely using your BuddyPress/MU functions in bbPress, at the time of this writing at the top of your bb-config.php file, put…

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

include_once( 'absolute/path/to/your/wordpressmu-directory/wp-blog-header.php' );

}

This way, it only tries to include the MU/BP functions if they haven’t already been defined and if it’s NOT a xmlrpc request!

DUH! Yay! Burt, haha you rule…

I am attempting to install the forum myself now. Ok so what I did first was to go ahead and in the root dirctory created a folder called forums. Next, what I did was to go ahead and download from wordpress the bp press forum module. Is this correct so far?

Question about step 1.

You say that the user has to be created on the “bbPress” side. Does this refer to a user that is registered through register.php via the forums? What if my forums were integrated from day 1 with WordPress? Is it okay to just use the “admin” keymaster account?

Question about permalinks and .htaccess.

I am using pretty permalinks on the bbPress side, and there is an .htaccess file on the root of the bbpress install folder. What would I want to look out for to prevent this from causing a problem?

Question about “deep integration”

I am currently including my wp-blog-header.php file inside my bb-config.php file. Will this cause conflicts?

Question about what to do if I swear I’ve followed the steps the way they are written and the ways everyone else has said, and it isn’t working.

ok I guess I spoke too soon. Had this in red with 4040 not found after it:
