thanks for your help

[mikecicc]

OK so i successfully completed a BBpress / WPress integration…logins are all synced and i can successfulled login to bb or wp…thats all straightened out and everything appears to be working great..

one bug im noticing now is in WP, in my Visual Editor [write post], all the icons that were once there (Bold, Italic, Font, Font Size, Add Link, Add pic…etc.) that hole graphical bar dissappears…

i’ve narrowed it down to some kind of caching problem…because i deactivated the integration pluggin in wordpress.. removed the line of code in my wp-config.php…cleared my cache and the visual editor re-appears

now when i went back in to re-activate the bbpress integration plugin and got the bbpress back up, and go to check out my visual editor in WP, its there ! great!!! but just to be sure it wont go away, i clear my cache, refresh the page, and its gone again….any ideas?!!!?!

THANKS FOR ANY HELP MY NINJAS

I just installed bbPress, ran the plugin for WordPress to integrate the users, and I cannot login as the administrator. I am using the password for wordpress (I’ve even reset it and re-installed bbPress to make sure I had the right one).

Trying to log in at the top just takes me to the login page. Trying to login on the login page just “resets” the page, with no option about recovering a lost password.

Is there anyway to reset / recover the password that bbpress thinks is my wordpress password? Does this sound like some other login problem?

I knew it was something simple.. some sleep helped me figure out I was missing a ‘global $forum’

I got it working with the following:

In my theme’s functions:

<?php



function show_bblogin() {

global $forum;

if ( $forum ) {

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();

} else {

echo '<a href="/forum/">Visit the Forum!</a></br>';

}



}

?>

and in my sidebar:

<?php show_bblogin(); ?>

Works like a champ.

[Nola1974]

I’m using the ThemePress theme, that uses the header/footer from the integrated wordpress install as well co-mingles the various template functions. What I’m trying to do is put code in the wordpress sidebar (not widget) that will show the bbpress profile link/login ONLY when the user is in the forum, otherwise it will show a link to go to the forum.

In the sidebar, I’ve tried

<?php if ( $forums ) :

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();

endif; ?>

Thinking that, since I can supposedly use each other’s functions, the if if ($forums) would work. I was wrong.

I also tried trying to set $is_forum = 1; in front-page.php and in the sidebar:

<?php

function show_bbmenu()  {

if ( $is_forum ) :

login_form();

if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu();



endif; ?>

}



show_bbmenu();

?>

Among other things and apparently I’m overlooking something stupid and easy but I’m afraid insomnia is not being kind to me this morning.

(Did I mention I got stuck in an elevator at my office for an hour last night? grrrr)

This is at adultaggregator.com/forum (warning, not safe for work.)

If you were integrated with your WordPress install, wouldn’t you just login originally with the same username and password as wordpress?

Regardless, what is the URL of your forum so we can try and relate what you are seeing for errors and problems.

During installation when I go to step 2 I get the following access violation message

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0AF7B927

Second Step

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

1. Created table dvdgbb_forums

2. Created table dvdgbb_posts

3. Created table dvdgbb_topics

4. Created table dvdgbb_topicmeta

5. Created table dvdgbb_users

6. Created table dvdgbb_usermeta

7. Created table dvdgbb_tags

8. Created table dvdgbb_tagged

At this point the tables have actually been created in the database but I can’t go forward with the installation. So if I start again I get the following.

First Step

We found Steve who is already a “Key Master” on these forums. You may make others later.

First Forum

Forum Name:*

Description:

Double-check that username before continuing.

From here everything goes fine and I get this

Finished!

Now you can log in with the username “Steve” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

Username

Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint. All done!

Unfortunately, I never got a valid password in the process so I can’t login. So I tried the password reset and the send me the password features but to be able to email from my server I need to put 2 ini_set statements before the mail statement so it knows which smtp account to use (this is for server security). the problem is that I will have to search all the files looking for the mail function.

Can you help me out here.

Here is my System Info

PHP Version 5.0.4

mySQL Versions:

Server: 4.1.12

Client: 4.1.7

Steve

I’m adding to this because I have since found and edited the registriation_functions.php file so it would send emails. I used the reset password functions to get a new password via email. The first step had me go to a url with a key at the end. Once I got the password I tired to login and got a Key Not Found error. So I took the key part of the url from the first email and forced it into the user meta table in the database. After that, I could login successfully. However, now when I create a topic and post it and then try to view it or any other things like edit users or forums it always returns an unable to locate page error. Well that’s where I’m at now. Its 2am so I going to bed.

Thanks chris. I just found this as well

I guess I was using the wrong terms in my original searches!

How about this:

Is there a plugin or some other relatively easy way to show recent bbPress topics in the sidebar of your WordPress blog? I found this (http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/bbdev/2006-May/000563.html) but the instruction seems out of sync with the current version of the recommended plugin.

This would seem to be a natural way to get blog readers interested in posting in the forums. I searched, but didn’t find much discussion of it.

Thanks

[vlp]

I still didn’t solve this, so If anybody has an good point I will preciated;)

The slower development cycle on bbPress at the moment is mainly because there is one active committer – mdawaffe – one other committer – matt – and only a few regular core contributors (i.e. patch suppliers) – so10, sambauers and very few others.

mdawaffe has been a little absent from bbPress recently, but he also works on WordPress and other projects within Automattic a lot, so maybe that is where he is concentrating at the moment. There is a chance that mdawaffe is working on some non-public project that has to do with bbPress, but I can’t confirm that.

matt started bbPress, but these days doesn’t work on bbPress much at all.

so1o has been quiet around here lately too, although he recently revamped his personal website (built on wordpress/bbPress). Maybe he can tell us what he is up to at the moment himself?

I (sambauers) am in the middle of finishing a major release of my own open source project and won’t be doing anything at all (besides lurking in this forum) until next month.

So it basically comes down to these four people to make bbPress go forward at the moment, and for various reasons they aren’t working on it at the moment.

Please keep in mind that I can’t speak with any authority for the others I have mentioned here and I am happy to be corrected, but this is the best account of the situation I can give at the moment.

Hey guys, I got a question about the MD5 hash…..

I don’t understand which MD5 to use… Every user has a different hash right? So which one do I enter?

Can anyone try and clarify this for me, I almost got it working….

Hi there… I’m a vBulletin veteran, but am considering a switch over to bbPress to use in tandom with wordpress. Can anyone out there tell me the advantages of using bbPress compared to vBulletin? Is it just as powerful? Does it tie into WordPress seemlessly?

I also need to know if some features I require are available in bbPress… Here is my shortlist:

– Ability to act as forums admin (edit everything)

– Ability to add moderators to specific forums

– Custom avatars and signatures for users?

– Spam and ‘bad word’ filters?

– Private email/messaging system?

– Can I create categories/subcategories?

– Can I create little thumbnails for these categories?

There’s more but that’s a short list… Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

Hello

I’m testing out some things and trying to synchronize WordPress, BBPress and Amember Subscription software. I have pretty much everything worked out, but need a little cookie help if it’s out there.

I’ve read this post, which outlines cookie settings

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010

The problem is that I don’t want to install the cookie plugin for WP because I already have this in my Wp-config file

define(‘COOKIEPATH’,’/’);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

define(‘COOKIEHASH’, md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

I guess my question is, what do I put into my BB config file for cookies?

I realize this may not be a direct BBPress issue, but I thought maybe one of you had an idea.

Thanks

[ozirr]

Thank you very much to answer the question… And now i will found gallery for wordpress, and integrate it Thanks…

[ganzua]

I’m realizing that I have more undefined pages. I have a custom login page here -> http://www.joseperdicion.com/wordpress/wp-login.php , ultimate tag warrior pages, for example this one; http://www.joseperdicion.com/wordpress/index.php?tag=onirica

Besides, some single pages are not tall enough to put two ads blocks in the sidebar.

Where did you read how to build ” is_smthing () ” functions? I wonder if I coud build one for is_login, is_tag (I presume this one will be solved in wp 2.3), is_aparticularfolder.

Is it possible to build a conditional tag for page height?. For example; ” if it is taller than x number of lines then put two ads blocks”.

[karaboga]

Hi again,

We couldn’t find any solution for that problem. If that’s a bug; I hope it will be corrected in new versions.

By the way, I’d said that we’ve integrated our bbPress forum to our WordPress blog. Now, forum users’ data is taken from WordPress’ wp_users table in database. And now, we do not have bb_users table.

If we want to seperate bbPress from WordPress (cancel the integration); what can we do? If we cancel the integration; does the bb_users table created automatically?

[chrishajer]

Not for the bbPress forum as far as I know. There are lots of picture galleries available for blogs like WordPress:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+photo+gallery+plugin

(which integrates nicely with bbPress) and even standalone photo galleries:

http://www.google.com/search?q=php+photo+gallery

I don’t know of a plugin for bbPress so I think you’ll be integrating something else into your website.

[benbeltran]

Well, you’d have to edit bbpress’s theme so it suits your website.

[dejongsplaza]

We are looking for a nice forum, so bbPress is an obvious and nice indeed solution. But, how can we integrate bbPress with or into WordPress? I mean, not datebase, cookies etc. (http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/), but visual, in our WordPress site?

[mpm]

login between my wpmu installation and my bbpress seem to work okay but when I click on a topic link on the frontpage I get a page not found error from my wpmu installation…

WPMU: http://www.mpm.org.au (blog signup disabled but you can sign up as a user)

BBPress: http://www.mpm.org.au/community/

Previously I did have it all working but only with WP single not MU.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This is my config file:

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.mpm.org.au&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

“What’s the actual problem? How are you using it, what do you expect it to do, what exactly is it doing?”

->

In my wp-bb integration, bbpress is integrated in wordpress and the forum uses the wordpress sidebar. I want to insert advertising blocks in the free space that I have in the bottom of the sidebar.

I’m trying to use wp conditional tags to display different ad blocks because in some pages I have space enough for one block, and in other pages I have space for two or three blocks.

In wp single pages I can display at least two 120×600 blocks so I’m using is_single() but I realized that these blocks are appearing in the bbpress forum too! and I just have no space enough for them so I want to change them for a 125×125 block when the forum is displayed or perhaps I could remove all ads when bbpress displayed.

So “How are you using it” -> after copy/pasting your function in my theme functions file, I inserted this code in my sidebar;

‘

<?php if (is_bbpress()

|| is_archive()

) { ?>

<!– 125×125 block –>

…

…

<?php } ?>

<?php if (is_single()

|| is_page()

) { ?>

<!– 160×600 block –>

…

…

<?php } ?>

‘

“what do you expect it to do” -> showing different ads blocks in the sidebar when bbpress displayed

“what exactly is it doing” -> is showing the blocks I set for is_single ()

[ganzua]

Hey fel64

I tried and it seems to work until you make an is_single() statement because then, wordpress takes bbpress subpages; topics, profiles… as if they were wp single entries.

Is it possible to catch the whole bbpress installation with your function?
