Hi there, here’s my first attempt on BBpress , although I have been pretty good at making website’s with WordPress but this was my first attempt to have a forum’s at my very new blog.

Here’s the link to my forums powered by BBpress.

http://www.aguywitha.com/_main/forum

I had a choice of integrating it with wordpress using the wordpress header and footer … but in my case i felt that designing a bbpress in itself like my wordpress theme was a bit easy for me as I was having some difficulties with integrating it with my blog interface … so I managed to make the default kakumei theme look my original wordpress blog theme … and integrate the users …

Although there will always be small changes being made on the forums as this was the first time i went through the BBpress code and I just love the simplicity.

Thanks a lot …

Hi

i have a website.It has its own login system that use session and cookie. I want to add bbpress to my site. How can i combine these two different login systems.

When a user login (logout) to my site, he should login (logout) from forum automatically.

I noticed that bbpress doesn’t make use of conditions while wordpress and gallery2 do. I’m kind of frustrated so I’m just going to disable permalinks for now, but I believe that if wordpress and gallery2 work then bbpress should be able to work too. I haven’t figured out how, though; hopefully one of you can since this is a frustrating problem.

[ultima7]

I have read the other threads on this forum, tried the suggestions there, and no matter what I do I can’t seem to get permalinks working for bbPress.

At first I had wordpress configured to run in the root of my site (while physically being in /wordpress/) and thought that might be messing up bbpress, which is in a subfolder, so I disabled that feature of wordpress and configured it to run from the same folder where it is installed.

Even after doing this, I haven’t been able to get permalinks to work. I have tried both option +multiviews and the output from the rewrite php file, both without success. The error I get is “No input file specified.” I am saving the .htaccess file in the root of my forums folder. My forum is installed at http://www.u77.cc/forums/ and I am hosted with goDaddy. Permalinks are working with my wordpress and gallery2 installs.

Thanks,

I have the same thing. I tried everything. When i click on ‘show topic’ on my ne forum, or any other – i am redirected to main wordpress page.

The most stupid thing is that just after i installed bbpress, it was working. But after i was trying to integrate with wordpress – several bugs have occured, so i deleted bb and cleared the databe, but now after another install, it simply doesnt work, just like the topic says.

@schmitt, Thanks for the feedback

No I don’t have an SVN for the k2 BBPress theme, but what changes would you submit. Before posting please think about my following points.

(a) I have not yet implemented a “proper” tab bar , like the solution posted by Sabutay as “normal” users don’t like editing things…. what ever I implement as a template would be wrong for the majority of people.

(b) fam-fam icons, I do want to do, but I don’t want to unnecessarily bloat the theme, just installing a ccs file is kinda cool. Just using a css also makes the theme more “secure”, i.e. anyone who developed their theme from the original wordpress kubrick theme has had to keep releasing updates in order for the theme not to be vulnerable to XSS various attacks.

I mean K2 wordpress… not BBPress…

If one were to add enhancements to the K2 BBpress theme, I don’t think there is an SVN to submit changes.

Does it make sense to have a themes SVN just like plugins?

[suff]

Well…I’ve resolved my (and maybe also your) problem… the problem was that I’ve used the same db prefix for both bbpress and wordpress… I feel like an idiot I just didn’t read the instructions too carefuly

[MaryJane]

Yea after i tried posting it in there a few times i figured that out. Will do boss!

[fel64]

If you’d be so kind as to take all that code out of your post and put it in http://pastebin.ca/ then link to it, that’d be nice. Also, bb doesn’t by default use bbCode. Code is delimited by ` backticks.

[fel64]

I think bb_cookie is in pluggable.php, so yes. Just look for wordpress documentation on overwriting functions like this (achieveable through plugins).

Also easy.

add_action('bb_init', 'chuck_out_lusers');

function chuck_out_lusers() {

if( !bb_get_current_user() && bb_get_location != 'login-page' ) {

header('Location: http://blah.example.com/bb-login.php');

exit;

}

}

This is what i have for my wp login. I want my users to login/register from the wp side. So i have this snippet of code i gathered from various forum posts as well as some of it was in my current theme.

It says Welcome guest when you arent logged in or registered and it gives the link to register. If your signed in or sign in it says Welcome username and shows the forum avatar you have set. Based on your user level it shows you different links for each thing you can do. Like make a post in WP or your profile and favorites in the forum.

I have a redirect page setup that when you login from this form it just directs you back to the index page instead of going automatically to the dashboard as this confuses most people and the links are on there if your signed in to show you what you can do.

** I didnt write this i just gathered it up from various sources on the internet in different forum posts and edited it to suit my needs. Part of it was already wrote into the theme i bought for my wp. **

pastebin url to it: http://pastebin.ca/651318

The redirect part is a file i named redirect.php and placed in my wp main directory with a redirect link to the main page. You can see that bit here :

http://pastebin.ca/651326

If you have your bbpress intergrated well with wp you should be able to use the same form on your forum. That is what i use.

Hi!

I don’t use BBPress in that site, i’m installing it on another site, and there the code i posted works

[avatarx]

Hey Detective, thanks for the code snipet. I checked out your site and I see it on your sidebar in the forums but not on your main WP sidebar? BTW, nice looking site.

[_ck_]

I’m kinda surprised that they didn’t just port the wordpress plugin.

It has more features and given how Matt wanted to make bbpress so “light”, virtually everything should be optional.

I guess they figured forums would be a huge target without any kind of captcha or turing test for signup.

[_ck_]

Updated to v0.05 with important improvements to make sure admin posts are filtered correctly, please upgrade if currently using:

http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/admin-can-post-anything.txt?v005

(also in the svn shortly)

[_ck_]

Problem fixed and plugin enhanced slightly, v0.05

You can wait for the plugin browser to update or direct:

[Detective]

This is what i do in my sidebar (in WP and BB):

<form action="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">

<label for="log">Usuario<br /><input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="" size="22" /></label>

<label for="pwd">Password<br /><input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="22" /></label>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Ingresar" class="button" />

<label for="rememberme"><small><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Recordarme</small></label><br />

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>

</form>

I just downloaded Firefox w/Firebug and looking at the message it appears to be related to another plug-in I am using. Otherwise I think it works fine, but it’s looking like more customization than I want to do right now for those behaviors I was talking about. I think I’ll just stick with what I have, but thanks to both for your help! I’ll provide a link to my site once it’s live, right now it’s kind of a mess.

Options +MultiViews

Did not work for me.

I placed the .htaccess in the folder /forums (that is where the bbpress is installed. No luck. Tried placing it below the .htaccess at root used by wordpress. No Luck! I also copied the above stuff and put it at the root together with wordpress’s .htaccess, but no luck!

I love your wonderful program. But I can’t get this thing to work.

Can anyone help me please ?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post.

I have a variant of this problem.

When I run my bbpress with a url through a directory under my domain (drewstylz.com/forums), using permalinks works ok. But when I try to run bbpress through a subdomain url (forums.drewstylz.com), the permalinks don’t work at all. They are generated correctly but clicking on any permalink only brings me to the forum home page. Running bbpress without permalinks does still work however.

I’ve tried following the FAQ but neither of the options have worked. I do have wordpress installed in the root directory of my domain and bbpress in a subdirectory so I’m thinking that may be the issue but I don’t know which part would be affecting it. I’ve also tried renaming the .htaccess file in my root directory and then following the suggestions from the FAQ but when I disable the .htaccess file in the root folder, clicking on the permalinks just brings me to a “url not found” page.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?

I can post my .htaccess files if necessary. I’ve left my current bbpress configuration with the problem if anyone wants to take a quick look.

I’m sorry, I confused little myself too:)

Ok here is the deal

Because the bbpress profile page doesn’t work, I want to show user favorites on wordpress profile page (the best on separate page – tab), like Extended Profile from Userextra plugin.

[so1o]

vlp..

you said you want to show the favorites in the wordpress profile.

http://www.tasty.sk/forum/profile/username/favorites

this is the link to the bbpress profile page.

i am confused now can you try to explain again what are you trying to do?

[vlp]

I change it, know there is no error, but no favorite forum shows up.

The deal is that my favorites dissaper, if I point my browser to http://www.tasty.sk/forum/profile/username/favorites, it redirects me to http://www.tasty.sk/user/username//favorites

It worked before, but probably I changed something so I thought maybe I create another favorites page

[so1o]

yup use it in wordpress.. if i understand you right.. you want to show it on the wordpress profile page right? the one which is

<you website.com>/wp-admin/profile.php

try changing the code to

<?php if ($topics): foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

..

..

..

..

..

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
