BP and bbPress – problems and questions
-
Okay I am in the process of getting BuddyPress 1.2.1 up and running on a WP 2.9.2 install (site: http://www.winextra.com but BP is not available to non-logged in visitors).
Current;y I am just working on the theme aspect ( variation of the default theme which surprising may just suite my needs ) but I have some questions regarding the forums part of BP and my current install of bbPress 1.2.
First off I have tried to connect my currently install forums (http://www.winextra.com/forums/ ) through the Forum Setup option page for BuddyPress. However whenever I point to the folder of where the bb-config.php file is BP keeps telling me that it can’t find the file. I have tried both http://www.winextra.com/forums/ and http://www.winextra.com/forums/bb-config.php with the same result – can’t find the file.
So any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Now for some general questions regarding BP Forums (hacked bbPress) and the existing installed bbPress forums.
This is all supposing that I manage to get them connected of course to play nice in BP.
1. bbPress plugins – with the switch (if that is what it is) to the BP implementation of bbPress how will the existing plugins I am using be affected?
2. When I incorporated my currently installed bbPress forums with BP will they use the new theme by default or will I have to make a specific bbPress theme to match the new BP/WP blog theme?
3. I saw reference to BP Forums using ‘groups’ instead of the bbPress style categories. How will incorporating my currently installed bbPress forums be affected by those? Will they be converted to the BP style ‘groups’ ?
One long range question: Given the talk of moving bbPress to a plugin for WP how will this affect current BP/bbPress installs.
I am sure I have missed a few questions but this will do for now as they are the most important ones on my mind. I appreciate any input on these questions as I really want to move forward on this change to a WP/BP setup.
Thank you.
