Hmm, did we get this solved?

If you ever need me in a thread, tag it with _ck_ otherwise I might not see it.

[_ck_]

TalkPress is going to be like WordPress.com, it’s hosted.

You won’t have plugins (or at least access to them).

Maybe themes and customizable css for $$$

[_ck_]

This plugin could be modified to do that https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/censor where it could set a topicmeta if bad words were found after a new post is saved or edited.

[_ck_]

Sam invented this https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/plugin-browser-for-bbpress which is quite good (though I’m unsure if it’s broken under 0.9) so I suspect we’ll get plugin browsing/updating eventually. But I doubt it’s a high priority right now as there is plenty else on his plate.

[_ck_]

Note the names of the settings in bbPress and WordPress is slightly different. Also, never, ever, edit bb-settings.php, what you want is bb-config.php on the bbpress side and wp-config.php on the WordPress side.

Follow ALL the steps here and you’ll get cookie integration in just a few minutes:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17410

Note step #8 is where you edit wp-config.php, the rest are for bb-config.php

[_ck_]

TalkPress will be hosted forums just like WordPress.com does hosted blogs. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress

[_ck_]

The (new) config.php name is bb-config.php

You are getting the error because you renamed it to config.php when it should be bb-config.php

[_ck_]

Your best bet is to study other plugins.

[_ck_]

There already is a function is_front()

if (is_front()) {

// do stuff

}

lots of related functions in template-functions.php

if you need multiple pages, a trick I like to use is

if (in_array(bb_get_location(),array('topic-page','tag-page','forum-page'))) {

// do stuff

}

[_ck_]

What you are asking for and what ning.com is doing are two different things. Ning.com is showing the last five TOPICS in a specific FORUM.

Technically you could hack the front-page.php to do what Ning.com is doing. Loop through each forum, and show the most recent five topics for each one, and show the gravatar to the left of the topic starter.

[_ck_]

I suspect the development of TalkPress will eventually cause the menu integration of WordPress and bbPress somewhere down the line (perhaps WP 3.x and BB 2.x).

Not sure if that’s what I personally would want as the WordPress admin menu is getting a bit crowded but I guess it would be handy to be able to mange users in one place, etc.

[_ck_]

There is only one person currently working on bbPress. WordPress has a few main people in charge and dozens (if not hundreds) of people contributing additions and bug fixes.

Look, your complaints are doing nothing to help. There’s no amount of comments you could make which is going to instantly put dozen of people working on the project. bbPress costs nothing. It’s free. If you have something which is a priority or commercial in nature you need to find something else to satisfy you.

Apparently you are already using SMF so why are you even complaining here?

[_ck_]

I suspect the problem is they have a link to bbPress’s http url from a page that is already https. So the browser gives a warning that the visitor is traveling outside of https.

You could install bbpress as normal to the http url but link from that page as https and just rewrite the url.

Offhand, if you really have a SSL cert though, the next version of bbPress, like WP 2.6 will be able to handle https logins for what that’s worth (even the current version could be forced to with with SSL but it’s overkill).

[_ck_]

SMF has had over five years of development. vBulletin has had over eight. phpBB, eight years. punBB, five years. Vanilla, four years. Invision, six years.

I wish people would compare by software development time. bbPress is just over a year old, just imagine what it will be like in five years!

Development has been slow this year so I understand the frustration but technically it’s not even 1.0 yet so anyone using it is considered an “early adopter”.

[_ck_]

Yes you can download old versions through the svn or trac, which will work correctly for anything up to 0.9.0.2 (this technique won’t work on the trunk because of backpress).

I’m not sure why you’d want an old version because many plugins won’t work properly in any any case:

0.7.x: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1606/branches/0.7?old_path=%2F&format=zip

0.8.x https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1606/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip

0.9.x https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1606/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

or use the ZIP link at the bottom of any of these specific versions: https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags

[_ck_]

Hmm, is this the default in WordPress? define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

does that actually appear in wp-config.php by default? Because that would override the cookiehash calculation. Make sure then you have this in your bb-config.php

define('BB_HASH',md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

also, since you are trying to do “full” (complex) integration. You may want to see here for more ideas: http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

[_ck_]

I added the ability for bb-attachments to insert images into a post last week. Download the newest version.

[_ck_]

The plugin currently allows you to change the smilie “set”.

I intend future versions to be able to use multiple sets at the same time.

If you want to make your own sets, just look at how the default folder is done and build your own. There is a single PHP file to edit.

[_ck_]

Hopefully you put it in it’s own folder, either under your WordPress folder, or off the webroot of your website.

View your profile should not give you an error unless you have something configured incorrectly.

[_ck_]

Ah there is probably a more developed guide on the WordPress side, let me see if I can find it for you.

update: here’s a few guides – essentially the process is identical to the WordPress side except the URL used is going to be https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/

guides:

http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2008/01/wordpress-plugin-subversion-guide/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/svn/

[_ck_]

I’ve now made this into a full plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/

Once you install it, you’ll be able to use your code above, but change the part of the function that says topic to forum, ie. forum_time()

[_ck_]

topic_time is meant to be used in topic loop, not a forum loop so it doesn’t know the last topic id.

You could get around this by passing the last topic id in the topic_time however you’d have to do a custom query to determine the last topic in a forum, as it’s not stored/available by default.

I think I’m going to make this into a plugin “forum_last_poster”

update: I seem to have finally made it work!

Hi filosofo, it’s an honor to have you here (I learned alot from studying your WordPress plugins).

I take it you are trying to do “full” integration where bbPress and WordPress run together and I guess I didn’t think of that as I try to encourage people NOT to do that because of the massive amount of code that has to execute for every page rendered.

I meant the cookies should integrate, with simple (stand-alone) integration.

Having bbPress based on BackPress and WP not based on it yet is going to become a problem for people doing full intregration. I am not sure if Sam is willing to wrap all the functions in “function_exists” clauses.

It’s great that it works when you remove them – they must have copied the most recent WordPress functions.

[_ck_]

You can skip the blog software altogether and use some custom coding to simply place selected topics by selected authors on the front page. Or you could use bbSync. The users rating each other would use the Reputation plugin.

[_ck_]

cordoval, there are several dozen bbPress sites on my top1000 list that use subdomains, hence I know it works. Please stop using this incorrect topic for the subject matter, thanks.
