Let’s see if that’s true on this server.

EDIT: nope. Perhaps it’s a PHP magic quotes issue. I’m surprised this does not happen for new posts, though.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

There are links to the RSS feeds on every page that has them (… except the front page… what happened it that one… ?)

The URLs are:

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/ for the main feed

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/forum/1 for the feed for forum with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/topic/1 for the feed for topic with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/profile/1 for the feed for the user favorites of user with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/tag/bbpress for the feed for the ‘bbpress’ tag.

These URLs can be easily generated by:

get_recent_rss_link();

get_forum_rss_link();

get_topic_rss_link();

get_tag_rss_link();

get_favorites_rss_link();

or echoed with recent_rss_link(), forum_rss_link(), etc.

The content for the feed is generated by /rss.php on bb-templates/rss2.php and is fully pluggable.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Copy bb-templates/topic.php to my-templates/

Find and remove

<li id="resolution-flipper"><?php _e('This topic is') ?> <?php topic_resolved(); ?></li>

This will likely be removed by default in future versions of bbPress.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Are you using bbPress 0.72 or some older pre-release version?

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

You’re using WPmu, yes?

It’s a little different. See my response here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/77?replies=6

You could use the $bb->wp_home stuff, but you’ll have to also:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Since MU cookies are structured a little differently than WP cookies.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Try this.

Look at the cookie you have from you mu site. (In firefox: preferences -> privacy -> cookies -> view cookies then find the cookie in question. I’m sure there’s a way to do this in other browsers as well.)

I bet it looks like this:

Name: wordpressuser

Domain: example.com // or is it .example.com ?

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

And one for the password too:

Name: wordpresspass

Domain: example.com

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

If that is the case, in bbPress’ config.php set the following.

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’; // or .example.com if there was a . above

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

If I’m wrong in my guess about the structure of yrour cookies, please post what they are (name, domain, path, send for only. Don’t post the content of the cookie).

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Make sure there is no whitespace (spaces, extra lines, tabs, etc.) before the <?php in your plugin nor after the ?>

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

In bbPress, where and how are you loading wpmu?

Are your mu blogs set up like someblog.example.com or example.com/someblog?

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

The DB has not changed. You shouldn’t even have to run the install script.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

There’s no good way to do this right now. We can make this pluggable in a future version of bbPress.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Try require_once('/path/to/wp-blog-header.php'); instead of wp-config.php.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

The red only applies to deleted topics, as the CSS class you found suggests.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE

Might work if you load wp before you load bb.

Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Oops, my fault. Do exactly what you did but put

global $bb;

directly under the function line.

<?php

function front_page_topics() {

global $bb;

$bb->page_topics = 2;

}

add_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ‘front_page_topics’ );

?>

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

If you have any blocked users, you should run upgrade_160() found in bb-admin/upgrade.php. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Just overwrite the files and you should be good to go (backup first!)

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Do you know the date of the nightly or the revision number you installed?

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

andrea_r,

What is the goal? Are you trying to to have mu and bbPress share the same user table? bbPress and mu are using different databases (as opposed to different tables in the same database)?

I can help, but I need to know exactly how things are and how you want them to work.

I think this is your situation (apologies if I misunderstood you):

You have mu and bbPress installed and working off of different databases. You want bbPress to store its content in that separate database, but you want it to draw its users from mu’s database.

If that is the case, this is what should work. The top of bbPress’ config.php should look like:

//These are for the information about the database into which bbPress should store its content

define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress');

define('BBDB_USER', 'username');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');

// This is the information about mu's database. bbPress will look for users in this database

define('USER_BBDB_NAME', 'mu');

define('USER_BBDB_USER', 'mu username');

define('USER_BBDB_PASSWORD', 'mu password');

define('USER_BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');

// You just told bbPress to use that mu database to look for users, but it doesn't yet know the name of the *table* to use.

// Change 'wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta' to be the table names of mu's user tables.

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta');

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

What you’re trying to do should be done in bbPress’ config.php file, but you’re really close

Put your index.php back the way it was. In bbPress’ config.php file, put the following two lines right after the <?php line.

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

define('WP_BB', true);

It seems you’ve found the correct path to use in you system: /home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php

So it should now look like:

<?php

require_once('/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

Then, copy your bb-templates/ directory to my-templates/ this is so you can modify the template files without editing the original ones; bbPress will use the files in that directory automatically instead of the original ones.

In my-templates/front-page.php (and any of your other template iles), you can now call any WordPress template function, even get_header().

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

Thanks for the tip. We’ll get that fixed in the next release.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

How about this plugin?

function front_page_topics() {

$bb->page_topics = 10;

}

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

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

I don’t believe a plugin is necessary for this. The core function tag_heat_map() is just the same, isn’t it?

See my comment here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/67?replies=3#post-295

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

You should always feel free to discuss this or anything eles on the mailing list: https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

There is no need to edit any core files.

Copy bb-template/front-page.php to my-templates/front-page.php and then in that file find

<?php tag_heat_map(); ?>

and replace it with:

<?php tag_heat_map( 10, 30, 'px', 40); ?>

to generate a tag cloud of the top 40 tags where the smallest tag displays with a 10px font-size and the largest with a 30px font-size.

The first parameter is the size of the smallest tag, the second is the size of the largest tag, the third is what unit to use (’em’, ‘px’, ‘pt’, …) and the last is how many tags to show.

[@mdawaffe Member 19 years ago]

You should be able to use any bbPress functions you like in WordPress as long as you

require_once('path/to/bbpress/config.php');
