After testing this! WOW! I just assumed it would have notification by email, but that can come later! This is really going to be a cool system! Looking forward to the release!

That link is the way that that it comes up. Just look at the URL of this post for instance. It seems to me that you have the .htaccess just in your main root of http://totalphysiqueonline.com right? You need the one for wordpress there and a completely seperate .htaccess file in the bbpress folder containing the bbpress part. Each system needs their own.

Try that.

I believe that bb_add_filter is the naming that is used in the latest version in TRAC (might wanna check that) as most files and functions are being named that way.

As for the function that you are close to creating, could I ask if it will only send links to the PM area to a member so that other members can harvest email addresses?

I have no trouble logging in and out of bbPress, just not integrated with the wp_users table. You are using Wp 2.05 as well?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I would imagine that you need to check the database and see if bbpress has it’s own bb_users table or if it doesn’t exist. I created a user in bbPress and it didn’t move over to WP. That would mean that the cookies are not moving right and the plugin isn’t working. If it was working, WP would know that I exist. When I went to ‘forgot password’ in WP, the user didn’t even exist. That would mean that users are being created in bbPress.

I would check the database and see what tables exist for bbPress and report back.

The plugins, especially bbpress-integration (goes in WP plugins and has option page once installed to choose bb_ as database prefix), tells bbPress to use the WordPress users. Therefore, if you login to each program (either/or), it uses the WP users. All registrations in bbPress make users in WP users. It is simple.

As for the login working in both, the settings in config.php in bbPress tells bbPress to use the WP cookies so they share the same one. Therefore, both programs know to use the same user without having to login again.

There have been quite a few issues lately getting this to work. maybe take a look at the following post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/389?replies=10

As well, click on the ‘integration’ tag at the top of main page, as there are many different things to try to get it going

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Pilks,

Just looking through the config file, everything looks good. I may try adding some cookie information into config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = '.awspress.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

As well, if you are not trying to load WP functions in bbPress, you probably can do without the:

define('WP_BB', true);

require_once('/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-config.php');

Maybe take it out and see if you can get it going and then add it in later. Let’s try it at the lowest common denominator….

We hope to have a template system (like WordPress) in future versions, but until then we have to make changes using the system described in previous posts. This is something that may help out:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/customization/

As well, here is my little workaround for themes.

1) If you change templates files out of bb-templates/ folder, make sure you save the changes into the my-templates folder. That way, you can delete the file in the my-templates folder and bbPress will go back to working with the original file out of the bb-templates folder.

2) If you are not sure what style tags are being used on a page, I like to look at the ‘source’ of the page in my browser. Gives great clues on what you should be looking for when later editing the global stylesheet.

3) header.php includes all the information for calling meta information, CSS sheets, javascript scripts, etc.

4) footer.php has the information for credits, ending style tags from above, etc.

5) front-page.php is where the bulk of information that is produced on the main page is. This is where you can arrange what information is shown and where

6) style.css is the main stylesheet for how bbPress looks on every single page. It is actually layed out pretty well in terms of how each page is in bbPress

7) post.php is for individual posts and reply forms for those posts.

When we have a better and easier template system, it will be much simple for the end users, but please be patient as we try and get it working for you!

Nothing so far or planned in development to my understanding. Heard rumors of a plugin, but nothing substantiated so far.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Currently, bbPress is built so that all users must be registered to post. I have heard talk of a plugin for anonymous posting, but nothing in development to my understanding.

So far, registration on the bbPress side is wide open, but if you are integrated with WordPress there are hacks in WordPress to have admin approval for registration, but only if you change all registration for the forums to the WordPress side versus bbPress.

In terms of integrating completely with WordPress, you need a couple more plugins and information. You should find everything that you need in the following post Ron. If you have any questions about it, please let me know.

Matt I am glad you got this going. Installing bbPress inside of WordPress makes the cookie sharing easier, but the link I provided above for integration with WordPress out of the bbPress documentation. It has great information on cookie domains and WP sharing.

Take a look at a post like:

As well, make sure you have the plugins for integration loaded. One in WordPress and the other in bbPress.

Also, it integrates well if you have bbpress in a subdirectory of your blog. If it resides somewhere else on the server, you might have to also take a look at:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Start there and if you have more issues, please post more details on what you have and have not tried because there are many different things that could have went wrong for you.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Could you describe what steps you took to integrate, what you are seeing when you move between the two programs and possibly post an edited (no password, username info) config.php to compare against.

mbyte has released a special version of this plugin (that I requested) that adds the ability to use the Custom Field options in WP to add tags to your posts in bbpress. It is available at:

That is where I got it from. Completely from Ardentfrost!

If you want a forum that is viewable publicly, but only the admin could post, you could just create the forum and take away register.php from the install so no other users could post. Then you would just need to edit your template files to take away all instances that refer to logging in and registering.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Try this code:

<?php if (bb_current_user_can('edit_users')) : ?>

*some code here*

<?php endif; ?>

[Trent Adams]

Could you describe what you are seeing or give us some URL’s to check out?

Arrariv,

bbpress can moderate posts. By default, the administrator (key master) can moderate posts and if they go into the admin, you can set other members of your forum as moderators.

Make sure your akismet line is:

$bb->akismet_key = '40b50b4582b5';

and not:

$bb->akismet_key = 40b50b4582b5;

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Thanks! The plugins work now with the latest code!

Cheers,

Is there a link for nightly builds?
