Hi there!

I’ve started a new site hosting a couple of WordPress plugins, I did for my customers and wanted to publish: http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/

The newest release is BackUpWordPress (http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/plugins/backupwordpress/), a must for all bloggers running WordPress. This Plugin is a Backup and Recovery Suite for WordPress, which was released 4 days ago and downloaded 447 times until now. I am not able to handle the support request via comments on the blog anymore so yesterday I decided to start http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/

…powered by bbPress of course!

Hi there,

I need to customise new process that involves the following:

User’s management and permissions synch between WordPress blogs and BBpress

New threads management and permissions synch between WordPress blogs and BBpress

And all this get complicated when implemented on multiple blogs invoirment.

Can anyone help when to search?

p.s

I’ve this one:

http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/438

but the documentation is to poor…

– do you know somebody to program my needs from scratch (paid by paypal / CC)

Thanks

that matches WordPress.com’s “Fjords” theme?

If not, could somebody please make one? I have almost zero experience with CSS. Hell, I’ve just mastered HTML!

Kein Problem, kann ich lesen.

I think that problem with the feeds is easily fixable. Look for spaces before and after <?php and ?>, and possibly check if this works for you otherwise (you may have to look for a similar mistake in bb rather than in wp).

[Sam Bauers]

You should consider just tracking what the last time was each user viewed a topic. That will reduce the number of entries in your table to a maximum of one entry for each user on each topic, rather than one entry for each user on each post.

As for the delay in getting plugin “approval”, you aren’t alone. I’ve waited a while at times and had to poke for it to get done, approval is less about the question of “is your code good enough” and more about weeding out spam/bozos etc. Also, from what I understand mdawaffe is pretty much the only developer doing significant work on bbPress at Automattic and he has other responsibilities there as well (including maintaining the WordPress plugin browser).

The community here is growing, but small, and the few people who are regular contributors to this forum are really quite helpful, enthusiastic and generally pretty knowledgeable. I hope you feel more welcome as you get to know us and become more involved.

actually i have found some more problems…

after integration. my feeds don’t work anymore…

the bbpress feed shows the following error:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: XML-Deklaration nicht am Beginn von externer Entität

Adresse: http://zuhause-weltweit.de/forum/rss.php

Zeile Nr. 1, Spalte 3: <?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>

–^

and the wordpress feed:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: XML-Deklaration nicht am Beginn von externer Entität

Adresse: http://zuhause-weltweit.de/feed

Zeile Nr. 1, Spalte 3: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

–^

sorry, its in german. but both only say, that the declaration is not at the beginning…

how does that come? any ideas?

thx,

jaithn

Hey fel64!

Thanks for the answer. Do you know if is it possible to copy these functions in your wordpress theme functions file?

In fact I only need to define one conditional tag; is_bbpress(), so I can display different advertising blocks in the wordpress sidebar when loading bbpress.

[fel64]

1. Sounds like a cookie problem. Clear your cookies, log in with bb and see what cookies are set; repeat for wp.

2. Possibly an integration problem. Open bb-settings.php and add the line you used in config.php to load wordpress, then see if the problem persists (just at a wild guess).

[ganzua]

In wordpress you can use conditional tags -> http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags to display different content according to the page that is being displayed.

Well, after having wp and bb integrated and displaying wp sidebar in bbpress, is it possible to define conditional tags for bbpress or bbpress folders?

[Jaithn]

hello guys,

i have succesfully integrated bbpress and wordpress…i’m still working on the template integration, but is in progress…

[rashantha]

can you post the link.

[burtton]

Which edition of WP do you use? 2.0.4 or 2.1? The newest edition allows you to display latest post from wordpress.Just update your WP However, I have a problem too.How could I make a pluging of Audio Player into my blog? I’ve tried several times,but it said: fail to link!

[fel64]

Err, no. I read your description here. I thought about that approach before but I like the time-based implementation, especially as my hosting is a bit creaky (and edit: having come to the finish of this post, I realise that it’s actually not that bad at all! Maybe it is a good idea, especially as it’s a lot more convenient). It’s good that you’ve done it though, and cool that you’re sharing it (in the face of adversity ). I hope you don’t mind; here’s some suggested changes that could speed things up a lot.

For installing the table, you may want to use bb_dbDelta() (should work exactly as wp’s implementation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins ).

There are also a lot of queries made that you could probably avoid. For example, in the topic listing the current topic will be in the global $topic, and you can get its last_post_id by this:

$last_post_in_topic = $topic->topic_last_post;

You can do the same for the number of posts.

Every column in the table will be available as a member variable (don’t know how familiar you are with PHP? Member variables are just like above, $member->!!!member_variable!!!) – that’s true for users, posts, topics and forums alike. (Meta entries are too, if there’s an entry topic_colour in the topicmeta table you can call it by $topic->topic_colour.)

Right now you’re making at least three additional queries per topic:

if ( utplugin_is_topic_unread($topic, $user) || utplugin_is_topic_new($topic, $user) )

utplugin_is_topic_unread() makes three queries. If it’s not unread, it’ll check if it’s new, too, which is another two. For the default 30 topics, that’s 90 – 150 additional database queries per single view of a page. Since db queries are usually the bottlenecks in website speed that could be a problem. (_ck_ would probably blow an artery.)

By using the already-queried stuff from global $topic you can cut that down to one or two topics per query. Also, in utplugin_is_topic_new() you’re using exactly the same value again, but making a new query for it, if I see that right. You could either move the check to utplugin_is_topic_unread() (which would return true for unread and for new) or make that a global itself.

That would make it at most one query per topic.

Finally, IIRC data for all topics on the page is being called in a single query. If you can find the right filter or hook, you may find that you can get all the relevant topic_ids at once, at the start, then do a _single_ query on your table that gets data for all of them, make that a static (so it’s preserved every time the function is called) and use that data every time. Then the overhead generated by your plugin wouldn’t even be so bad.

[henrybb]

Well I’m allowed atleast one misconception aren’t I?

WordPress has the same weird approval stage. But what I don’t get is that I wasn’t given a chance to upload either the plugin or the readme, I just input the name of the plugin and the whole process hinges on that one name.

Started wondering if I was at all comfortable with “Unread Topics” as a name

Anyway, did you look at the plugin fel?

[imnakoya]

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_HOST in /home/africao2/public_html/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 54

Could someone help interpret this please?

I have installed bb on my wordpress site but it shows the above warning and no theme in visible. Thanks.

[Heliotropen]

Well i just tried it out, and the plugin dont work with the newest mediawiki; i got: “Wiki has a problem

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Can’t contact the database server: Unknown error)”

[Heliotropen]

That is my logik too, but have you tried it? ; on the web-site they write:

“This extension is tested with Mediawiki 1.6.9 (the latest release for PHP4) and wordpress 2.1. It will not work (yet) for Mediawiki > 1.6.9 (because of PHP5) but the next version will be PHP5 ready.”

[Heliotropen]

I ended up making my own themes from scratch..

[fel64]

I don’t understand. PHP5 runs PHP4 code just fine; if it runs on 4, it will run on 5. (Other way around may be a problem, but that doesn’t seem to be it?) The plugin might not use features of 5, but it will run under 5.

[Heliotropen]

What a cool guide, – huge shoulder claps from me to you!

There is one HUGE problem though;

1.this plugin is no longer avaible?

https://codex.wordpress.org/User:RobLa/bbPress_Auth_for_MediaWiki

2. this IS, BUT, it is wrtiten that it dosn’t suport php5 (therefor any useable media wiki installations right now.)

http://hery.blaogy.org/2007/02/21/mediawiki-wordpress-integration/

Is there any plugin or way out there, to make the step nr. 4 in the guide possible. – The mix is not soo cool, with wordpress & bbpress intigration only.

In advance thnx.

Okay, I moved the config.php file, and the same error keeps coming up.

I’ve also deleted the forums folder and moved the bbPress folder to /wordpress.

[neyoung]

I’m using wordpress mu so I’m sure that there is a big discrepancy

Is there a way that I can trace which functions are called when a post is made? That why I can follow the execution with and without the wordpress functions loaded and find out what the difference is?

[chrishajer]

This is accessible:

http://llabrealityblog.x10hosting.com/wordpress/forums/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/screenshot.png

So, my guess is that extra directory “forums” is causing trouble, and that you have the config.php in that directory instead of the proper bbpress directory.

You can eliminate that forums directory if you want, unless you’re planning on running multiple forum software. If you eliminate that forum directory, make sure you update the config.php so the paths there match your webserver paths.

The big problem I think is that your config.php is in the forums folder instead of the bbpress folder where it belongs.

And I don’t think it has anything to do with phpMyAdmin (I thought it did since that’s when you said you couldn’t log in, after the talk of phpMyAdmin – maybe you never installed that?)

[chrishajer]

regarding your setup

1. did you install phpMyAdmin yourself, or is it part of a control panel?

2. did you edit any config files by hand?

3. what do your installation directories look like (i.e. where did you install phpMyAdmin in relation to the other directories you have for your WP and bbPress installations?)

is it something like

/home/llab/public_html/wordpress/

/home/llab/public_html/wordpress/forums/bbpress/

---

(why the extra directory here ^?)

/home/llab/public_html/phpMyAdmin/

Is your config file for bbpress in the forums directory or the bbpress directory? (IMPORTANT)

I think the forums directory is extra, and maybe that’s causing problems?
