"The plugin could not be activated for it's causing a fatal error."

What now? :(

I have bbpress installed in a subfolder one level up from my wordpress install in a folder called 'forums'. I read all the comments here, and have looked at the Function integration part of the "Integration with WordPress" post per your suggestion. I added the code:

require_once('path/to/wp-blog-header.php');

to the bbpress config.php file, and it throws an error when I load bbpress. I have tried using 'wp-blog-header.php' and '/wp-blog-header.php' and '/' and even ' ' as the path to the file, and nothing works, it throws an error every time. I even tried a backslash! lol

"Small" problem: when I try to activate Vili's plugin in my WordPress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:

"The plugin could not be activated for it's causing a fatal error."

:'( Any clue what the problem might be?

I'm using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.
I didn't change anything in Vili's PHP, but maybe I should have?

I'm not programmer, so please help me :) Thank you so much in advance!

If you use the avatar plugin from Suleiman (here) on a WPMU install, you can use this plugin. I'm using it with bbpress 0.8.1 and the Crystal theme. Instructions in the file.

Anyway, I'll send you the code in a sec by email.

Same again through:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d120217802/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cmdavatar.php on line 193

I haven't intergrated it with bbpress yet, but since I can't get it to activate, this doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thanks!

I just replaced Dan's plugin with yours.

Thanks.

It's a WordPress plugin. And no, you don't need to install any avatar-upload thing, or indeed any other extra plugin to get this to work.

The function works both on WordPress and bbPress, but since it is a WordPress plugin (and thus a WordPress function) you will need to make WordPress functions available to bbPress. This is covered in the Integration with WordPress page in the bbPress documentation (see the last section, "Functions").

I hope this clears things up a little.

Do I need to install the avatar-upload thing as well? I am confused....

Thanks for the help so far.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d120217802/htdocs/forums/my-plugins/bb-avatar.php on line 192

<?php if(function_exists('cmd_show_avatar')){ cmd_show_avatar(); } ?>

For testing if it's bb it might be easiest to do exactly what you did but with a global variable bb uses anyway, such as $bbdb or whatever you feel like - saves you having to put in the declarations.
