Display bbpress on wordpress page (inside the blog)

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    @tannar, I will only share this with you if you post a link to your forum. I would like to see this working because many people have asked about it, and I've never seen it working.

    From here: http://brondsema.net/blog/index.php/2007/06/06/100_height_iframe#c4631
    Add this to the bottom of the page you are including in the iframe.

    <script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.document.getElementById("youridnamehere").height = document.body.offsetHeight +50;
</script>

    You need to change youridnamehere to the id of the iframe in your wordpress page. So, if you did something like <iframe src="whatever.php" id="bbpressforum" ... /> you would change youridnamehere to bbpressforum because that's the id of the iframe.

    Also, the +50 at the end just adds some space to the bottom (it's probably in pixels I imagine.) You can try different numbers to be sure the forum fits in the frame. I can't recall exactly what number I started out with there, but +50 worked for my application (not bbPress, BTW.)

    Good luck.

    @chrishajer, thanks for the code, this one didn't work for me, but the one on the page top. You can visit my forum http://deadrising2.de/?page_id=84

    If someone wants to know how i made it, I just removed stuff from the bbpress head.php so it looks like this:

    <body>

    <div id="main">
    <?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

    and also the first </div> from the footer.php, I also removed the hot tags stuff from frontpage.php. Now I installed embed-iframe plugin for wordpress and modified the iframe.php like this:

    <div class="iframe-wrapper">
  <iframe src="<?php echo $url ?>" frameborder="0" id="youridnamehere" width=100%>Please upgrade your browser</iframe>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe() {
    var height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    height -= document.getElementById('youridnamehere').offsetTop;

<code></code>// not sure how to get this dynamically
    height -= 150; /* whatever you set your body bottom margin/padding to be */

    document.getElementById('youridnamehere').style.height = height +"px";

};
document.getElementById('youridnamehere').onload = resizeIframe;
window.onresize = resizeIframe;
</script>

    Now I just modified the width of the bbpress style.css for head, main and footer, and also the cols/width of the textarea. I still have a scrollbar if there are more posts on one page, but I can live with.
    Thanks for your help!`

    Hello all!

    I've been thinking about SimplePress integration with your WordPress installation. It worked fine with me a few months ago.Give it a shot.May be it needs some customization on its template.Just an opinion.

    After all, bbPress and buddyPress are all WordPress family product.

    Regards.

    mindacatur, did you seriously need to bump a year-old topic just to say you were going to use software unrelated to this forum?
