Hi chrishajer,

yes youre right but im using the wordpress trunk and bbpress – and there are changes to the cookie handling again in wp. bbpress will follow soon, i think.

thank you very much for taking care of it, sambauers

have both a nice day

Chris

[Sam Bauers]

Yes, WordPress is changing it’s cookie structure yet again.

We will be up to speed with that shortly.

Hi and thanks for bbpress and the plugins.

I integrated wordpress and bbpress in my site with some plugins.

In the log of my host I find this error:

[Thu Jun 12 13:57:36 2008] [error] PHP Warning: parse_url(/2008/06/urlofpostofwordpress//appserv/main.php?appserv_root=http://www.cdpm3.com/id.txt???) [<a href='function.parse-url'>function.parse-url</a>]: Unable to parse url in /home/teayudoe/public_html/foros/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1794

I have the same errors with anothers urls/scripts

http://www.iglesialcs.cl/newweb/cache/id2.txt

And the last week I saw other similar errors

I investigated the urls and I think are script to attack servers

I’m not worried about the safety of my site, I believe that these script can not do anything, what I am wrong?

It is possible to fix the error by putting @ forward parse_url functions.php on line 1794 (http://derekgendron.com/blog/?p=33)

I have to worry?

Thanks

Pd. Sorry for my english. The English is not my mother tongue

[davidbaldwin]

I added

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

to the beginning, and

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

to the end.

obviously, this calls both the wordpress and bbpress headers.

that makes everything work, except for the wordpress search engine.

any ideas?

thanks!

[chrishajer]

Sam, that’s a good point. Thanks.

I would say that the number one request is for people to make their bbPress look like their WordPress. Lots of people are just using a WordPress template they found, so they’re not really up for customizing bbPress, since they really didn’t customize WordPress in the first place.

If there were an easy way to make their bbPress look like their WordPress it would answer a lot of requests. I think that’s why people are sometimes drawn to a WordPress forum plugin, since then it’s just a WordPress page and it looks like the rest of their site.

1. Make bbPress look just like the WordPress it’s integrated with.

2. Make the logins work in both places (with proper roles and capabilities.)

3. .htaccess with mod_rewrite rules, out of the box, for permalink support.

With those three things, the number of support requests per day here would go down dramatically.

[chrishajer]

Not sure which versions you’re running, but cookies are compatible in bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1. They changed the cookie hash method. If the changeset is equivalent to 2.5.1 (my /tags/2.5.1 WordPress installation is changeset 7835) then the cookies should work, so long as you’re using bbPress 0.9.0.2.

What bbPress version are you using?

[Sam Bauers]

Keep in mind though that including WordPress inside bbPress is an incredible overhead for what is just a modification to the presentation layer.

The most lightweight solution is to create your own theme in my-templates which extends the default theme. Any file that is not found in your own theme simply falls back to using the default, so your theme could consist of as little as a style.css file (which could itself simply import the default themes style.css – see kakumei-blue theme for an example of how to do that), a header file and a footer file.

[chrishajer]

A fatal error would normally be a PHP fatal error. Do you have access to PHP logs to see what the trouble might be? If not, you can set up some custom logging.

And, are you running WordPress as well? Which version, if so.

[lazy79]

Since the latest Trunk changes (Changeset 8069) in WordPress Core, the bbPress Login (if shared with WordPress) is not working anymore.

I think its because of the logged_in cookie, isn`t it?

I know, trunk.. but 2.5.x will sure come soon

Have a nice day

Chris

Hello,

I have successfully installed and integrated my wordpress 2.5.1 with BBpress latest version today.

WP is at http://calcuttatube.com

BBpress: http://calcuttatube.com/forum

Everything looks good. However, I was wondering if there is any way to post images. The Image attachment plugin says it only works up to BBpress .7 version.

Any help/suggestion?

[jfox95]

oops, my bad.

i installed it as a bbpress plugin instead of a wordpress plugin. working fine now

sorry!

[dailytestimony]

I have a slightly modified version of a GPL’ed wordpress theme I use on my wordpress MU site dailytestimony.net

I want to add support forums an bbpress appears to be my best option however I need to intergrate bbpress into the site visually.

I would like to keep the header as close as possible including links to pages, ect. In the middle I want content to the left, tags to the right, and a simple footer to match the theme.

I am not sure what something like this goes for, but I’m hoping to barter for the work. The site this is designed for has ad space for a button in te admin panel footer I could trade for the theme or we can discuss other deals.

If you would be up for it shoot me an email support (a) (t) dailytestimony.net

[chrishajer]

To be able to call your WordPress header and footer, you will need access to the WordPress functions get_header() and get_footer(). To have access to WordPress functions, you need to include WordPress:

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

You can skip the stuff about user integration and cookies if all you want to do it include your WordPress header and footer.

[redhousepainter]

Okay, I have to get this out of my system. But first…

I have three websites with WP. I love it. I love you all. I’m not throwing a tantrum or threatening to run off and elope with Movable Type or Joomla!.

But, here is my issue…

I want to add bbPress to one of my sites and quite possibly another that I just started.

I know there are other forum software out there but really want this to stay in the family.

My problem is that fresh out of the box bbPress looks like a manual for a cold war Soviet submarine.

Getting past that I tried to integrate my WP header into my bbPress installation but the info available on integration is either outdated or above my ability. I integrated the WP header into my gallery software (Zenphoto) with no problem at all, so it doesn’t make sense to me that integration bbPress should be harder.

Also, the forum on WordPress.org looks so good that using it is just rubbing salt in my wounds. It is as though WP is saying ‘here is what you could do with bbPress if you had a team of developers and an unlimited budget, but since you are poor and working alone… you’re out of luck!’.

Okay, I’m done ranting.

Does anyone have experience adding their WP header and footer into bbPress? I would prefer to not integrate the databases. All I really want is for the header and footer to be consistent throughout the site. I can handle the CSS part of it.

Thanks!!!

[Garth Koyle]

I’m having trouble getting the integration to happen.

http://www.adbeef.com/forum/

http://www.adbeef.com/blog/

The links on the blog link to the forum, but there’s no thread.

Any ideas?

[chrishajer]

You would need to include WordPress in your bbPress installation to have access to all the WordPress functions.

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

Sharing the database does not allow you to use WordPress functions from within bbPress.

[erewok]

Hello,

I’m new to WordPress and BBpress but I like the simplicity involved in using them. Currently, I have a wordpress site and a bbpress site that share a database. The wordpress site uses the Event Calendar plugin+widget to display its calendar and in the readme for Event Calendar I found the following:

Add the

following code to your sidebar.php:



Event Calendar:

<li>

<?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>

</li>



Upcoming Events:

<li>Events

<?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>

</li>



If you are using an older template, then you should check that your HTML

header contains the following tag: <?php wp_head(); ?>

I’d like to add the Event Calendar to my BBpress sidebar; however, this solution doesn’t appear to work. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

[bubblebla]

hi, i’m a newbie here..

i need some help here. can anyone advise me on how to add a main page in my forum? i want the page to show only the login form, active and newest threads and i need to main page to show some information. my question here, can i really add the page in kakumei? or do i need to use the wordpress to make such page?

i really want to avoid using wordpress bcoz currently i’m trying to integrate the bbpress forum to 3 websites using the wordpress.

i hope someone can help me here.. thank you

[chrishajer]

Does this problem happen with the stock theme? Maybe it’s a problem with the customization?

Where do you log in? Normally at http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/ there is a spot to login or register, then logging in as keymaster allows access to the admin panel.

If you log in as keymaster, do you have a link to Admin your forum or can you access http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/bb-admin/ ?

It doesn’t look like you are using permalinks at all for bbPress, which is fine.

BTW, I don’t think this has anything to do with WordPress.

[davidbaldwin]

here is the URL to bbpress:

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/

and the admin:

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/bb-admin

i’m using this permalink structure:

http://lifelightcam.com/2008/06/07/sample-post/

thanks for your help!

david

[chrishajer]

[edited out a stupid idea]

WAIT: update 26 minutes later. If you’re not logged in, trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin/ is SUPPOSED to redirect you to the home page of the forum. When you log in there as keymaster or administrator, you then have a link to View your profile (Admin | Log out) – and in my installation, clicking Admin takes you to /bbpress/bb-admin/. You can also access the /bbpress/bb-admin/ URL directly, but only after logging in as keymaster. If that’s what’s happening, then that is correct.

Is it possible you can’t log in on the home page of the forum as administrator or keymaster? Did that account lose privileges or something? Maybe you have a different problem. But direct access to /bbpress/bb-admin is prevented by design until you are logged in.

[Detective]

You can download it here: User Photo for bbPress.

The readme.txt has installation instructions.

User Photo for bbPress is a modified/simplified/ported version of the original User Photo plugin by Weston Ruster.

[davidbaldwin]

I used this code from the documentation:

Code:

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

to intigrate bbpress with wordpress, so I could use my current wordpress themes.

the only problem I have now, is that when I try to access /bbpress/bb-admin I am automatically forwarded to /bbpress and I have no access of the admin screen.

any ideas?

thanks!

david

[reclaimyourskin]

Hi Detective, I really like this theme – like I said before definitely one of the best WordPress/BBpress installs I’ve seen.

Does this theme have the User Photo plugin intergrated into it? I would love to be able to use User Photo within BBpres like you have done at http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress

[alexleonard]

Ah brilliant,

Thanks so much for the clarification. I was getting the feeling that quite a few things had changed all right. The main development site has had quite a lot of work done so far, but on bbpress all I had really done was set it to use the header and footer from the WP theme.

It’ll be easy to dump it and start again.

Actually on that point. In installing the old version I stored the bb_press database tables in this site’s WordPress database, eg:

| bb_forums              |

| bb_posts               |

| bb_tagged              |

| bb_tags                |

| bb_topicmeta           |

| bb_topics              |

| wp_comments            |

| wp_ig_caticons         |

| wp_links               |

| wp_options             |

| wp_postmeta            |

| wp_posts               |

| wp_term_relationships  |

| wp_term_taxonomy       |

| wp_terms               |

| wp_usermeta            |

| wp_users               |

Should I delete each of the tables prefixed “bb_” before continuing?

Cheers,

Alex
