Is there an easy way for me to integrate cookies with a specific prefix or something with bbPress so I can make my own cookies? Also, if it would be easier, is there a way for me to make my own global variables in the same manner?

My goal is to find some way to store additional information so I don't have to access my database every time I refresh the page.

Fixed!

I have a 1.0.2 installation where this is working perfectly.

I found a bug: whenever going to someone's profile page (/forum/profile/1), it's showing the login name, nickname, and 'member since' date for whoever happens to be logged in at the time. It should be showing the info for the person whose page I'm visiting.

The User Activity section shows activity for the correct person (and the navigation menu is also correct), but those other bits are wrong.

This is also messing my ability up to edit someone's profile when logged in as the admin: it's showing my own admin account's info instead of theirs, and even is showing their role as Key Master.

If nobody is logged in, then the page works correctly.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this just me?

I've been searching this forums yet but could'nt find any explanation to my problem so here it goes:

I'm a newbie at developping for bbpress, and trying to customize it for my needs.
First, I'm running bbPress 0.9.4; I'm also using a copy of the default theme that i'm modifying (located in my-templates/mysite).

I've attached a hook to the action 'bb_index.php_pre_db' which is ran on bbpress/index.php; My goal is to display only forums (without latest discussions and sticky topics) so i've copied the content of index.php and removed calls to latest discussions and sticky topics:

add_action('bb_index.php_pre_db', 'home');

function home(){
$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums
do_action( 'bb_index.php', '' );
bb_load_template( 'front-page.php');
exit();
}


The problem is that once in the file front-page.php, the $forums variable doesnt exists anymore. Actually i tried to print it out in the bb_load_template as well and the variable is empty too. It seems that because i'm using a hook (called by do_action), globals variable do not exists anymore in this context. I might be wrong but i'm actually stuck to this point and can't really move forward. Any tips?

Cheers.

Thanks a lot anyway.

I successfully integrated bbpress into my WordPress installation. I have shared user database and header/footer function.

Now I want highlight the Forum Tab in the header menu, of course only when people are showing forum pages. I read in this forum that I can use $forumpage variable. So, I can use it in a conditional function, like <?php if ($forumpage = TRUE) { echo " id=\"current\""; } ?>

But, such variable is always TRUE, also in non bbpress page.

Where is the trouble?

Sorry for my little english!

In forum.php I load a bunch of data from my own database and sit it in variable. Lets call one of these variables $blah.

I'm trying to access $blah in the template file "post-form.php" so that I can include the value of $blah in a hidden field that gets posted.

My issue is that $blah is empty when I try and output its content in post-form.php. I'm positive this had nothing to do with naming of the variable. I don't see any reason why it should be empty. I've tried making it global but no luck. The post-form.php file is displayed on the same page as forum.php so I'm really lost.

Is there a better way to add persistent data that you can access across bbPress?

The Gas Zappers forum documents the entire creation process from brainstorming to finishing of the GAS ZAPPERS- an online game about Climate Change/ Global Warming. You can check out the site at http://www.GasZappers.com

We want to make this game totally open-source- not only technically but also creatively. We need your input to make this game totally kick ass. This is a communal project and thats the sole purpose why this forum exists. So please go nuts with your creativity! You can basically post any ideas here! Open dialogues close misconceptions :-)

GAS ZAPPERS is NOT-FOR-PROFIT. We want to make a game that will help people understand the big freaking fuss of Global Warming, and in the same time, create a game that is action-packed, challenging and fun to play with.

Alrighty, Thnx for checkin. Peace Yo!
