nolageekI've been doing searches on this for days, but google doesn't really sort them any kind of way, so I can't make heads or tails of what information or instructions are actually current. (I really hate that about using google search here.)
I have a wpmu installation at blognola.org. I'd like to have a forum on the site, for visitors and the site's bloggers.
I have an installation of bbpress at blognola.org/forums
Now, I've I have bbpress using the main blog's theme, via using get_header()/get_footer() and here is my current config.php for bbpress:
<?php
require_once('/path-to/wp-blog-header.php');
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('BBDB_NAME', 'WORDPRESS_DB'); // The name of the database
define('BBDB_USER', 'USERNAME'); // Your MySQL username
define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'PASSWORD'); // ...and password
define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.
$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!
$bb->domain = 'http://blognola.org'; // Example: $bb->path = '/forums/'; $bb->name = 'blog nola forums';
$bb->admin_email = 'nolageek at gmail.com';
// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;
// The number of topics that show on each page.
$bb->page_topics = 30;
// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.
$bb->edit_lock = 60;
$bb->gmt_offset = -6;
define('BBLANG', '');
$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab'
// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://blognola.org'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://blognola.org'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
/* Stop editing */
if ( !defined('BBPATH') )
define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );
?>Now, I've read one or two places that bbpress doesn't recognise wpmu admin accounts - what does that mean?
I've read that if someone makes a username via bbpress, then they can't have a blog in wpmu using that name. Is there a way around this? Force them to sign up via wpmu? Can someone join wpmu without being assigned a blog (say, a regular user - commenter, etc...)
It's just really confusing to do a search and have all this mixed up information becuase the search results don't seem to be in any order. Does the wordpress codex apply to wpmu?
Sorry.. I'm just totally confused! :)
