Ok, this time I deleted all the Media Wiki tables from the database, then reinstalled Media Wiki. This time, I didn’t use a prefix for the table names.

I uploaded Authpress.php and added the code to Localsettings.php.

Now when I try to login, I get these errors:

Warning: Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet supported in classes at offset 33 in /web/abc/abc/citizenkeith.com/forums/wiki/includes/User.php on line 224



Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /web/abc/abc/citizenkeith.com/forums/wiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php on line 320

I’m having a hard time figuring out the bbpress install — have failed and just pulled it all down again — so, starting from the beginning: My WordPress blog is at http://www.intar.org/wp_01 — where should I install the bbPress files? Also, should I have a directory called “forums,” and if so, where should that go?

Thanks!

If this is the case, how does it work with bbpress?

Do I need to install the avatar-upload thing as well? I am confused….

Thanks for the help so far.

Vili said it was a WP plugin.

[fel64]

No reason to delete the db! You can always use something like PHPmyAdmin to change entries. The relevant settings should be in wp_options.

This was directly after you were in WP Admin > Options > General and changed only WordPress Address and Blog Address? You’d need to change back the options named “siteurl” and “home” respectively. Change them back to IP and see if the problem disappears.

Installed it as a bbpress plugin and now:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d120217802/htdocs/forums/my-plugins/bb-avatar.php on line 192

[dyaddydad]

And what needs to be installed? The above as a bbpress plugin, then use Dan’s (also installed) as per usual?

Hello,

I have bbpress and wordpress installed together and they were playing nicely. I change the domain info in the config files and the WP admin to the domain name from IP as the DNS switch went through and suddenly (I say “suddenly” but I’m sure I screwed something up), I get the following errors when I try to login to WP:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/payingfo/public_html/Wordpress/wp-config.php:22) in /home/payingfo/public_html/Wordpress/wp-login.php on line 12

I also get this error when I try to pull up BBPress:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load_default_textdomain() in /home/payingfo/public_html/wordpress/discussion/bb-settings.php on line 143

I checked for white space. Anyone have any suggestions before I scrap this and start on another install? I’ve built out quite a few posts and pages and am not looking forward to deleting the db.

Thanks.

daddy, you will need to use the “Vili’s avatar thingy” code that I posted above, and then just use the same function as with WordPress:

<?php if(function_exists('cmd_show_avatar')){ cmd_show_avatar(); } ?>

[dyaddydad]

Hey this is cool. But, what tags does one put in the bbpress template to get the avatar from Dan’s Avatar thing to show up? Or do I have to have the bbpress avatar upload plugin installed and add it via this?

[Vili]

I would personally just copy the bbPress CSS over to the WordPress one, so as to keep it all in one place. If you want to integrate the two, why then have more than one CSS file?

One admin dashboard, it’s as simple as a plugin etc , etc.

There are lots of good little reasons for this plugin. Not everybody wants the complexity of a wordpress blog for their main site entrance. And in my case I already have another wordpress blog integrated into my forums. In the case of those who just want a forum site, this plugin will make things more ‘inviting’ to the casual visitor.

h2.postform is in /bb-templates/k2/style.css, line 194. It’s stretched like that because it by default takes up the whole width of the parent element, which is Secondary. It is more effective to set the width for Secondary than for the child elements, because the Secondary width will automatically control all the child elements too.

Firebug is an invaluable HTML, CSS and JS debugger.

[bozzy]

Almost there… one quick question, do you know which part of the stylesheet controls the ‘reply’ line?

It’s stretched across the whole page, unlike the rest…

It is possible but I don’t know of any plugins to do it. You can probably do it yourself fairly easily though . You need to make a WordPress plugin that will call the data and display it. You can get the data by using something like

global $wpdb;

$latestusers = $wpdb->get_results("MySQL query");

but the wordpress wpdb reference and plugin writing reference will be of more help.

follow-up post deleted. please ignore.

[fabtest]

my “seemless integration” is coming along quite nicely. but a have a question:

**obviously when I get my wp header from my bb frontpage.php, I also get the wp stylesheet. would it be better to put a check in the header to see if a bbpress page is being served and disable the wp css, as you mentioned? If so, should I then copy-paste the important stuff from the wp css into the bb css to make the layout uniform?

Thanks for the help.

Isn’t it so that WordPress itself can function like a portal?

[fel64]

Got a problem on my hands. I’m trying to simplify a lot of things by require’ing bb-load.php and then using the bb API. However bbdb loads with a fatal error if I do this when wordpress has fully loaded, but it works perfectly fine if I require bb-load when the plugin is run.

What I mean is require( 'path/to/bb-load.php' ) works fine if placed anywhere inside the main code of the plugin. If I call it using the wp hook init it no longer works, nor does calling it by other hooks (that I’ve tried) or through function calls in templates and the like.

I went through wp-settings.php and require’d bb-load systematically until I found that it only worked once wordpress had loaded general-template.php (line 153). It worked from any point onwards, including after do_action('init'); (which I don’t understand at all). Using the init hook in my plugin to require it does not work.

I suspect this means that the init hook in wordpress maybe does something or other, then loads plugins, then does something else that stops bb being included, then runs any other funtions registered with the init hook – but my wp mojo is not impressive. I tested this with all other plugins deactivated.

The output if bb-load is required too late in the code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_row() on a non-object in xampphtdocsforumsbb-includesfunctions.php on line 1224

That makes me think bbdb is not created, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be.

Can someone help me with this please? I’d much rather use the API than duplicate functions.

[fel64]

The #1 thing to do is to backup regularly. You can’t be 100% sure that you’re safe – but if you have a backup it’s not a particularly big deal. If you use WordPress use the backup plugin for that and include the bb tables too.

If someone else users your computer and you’re still logged in, then they have access to everything you have access to. You can’t do much damage through bbPress; deleting posts etc. isn’t permanent, for example. What you should be concerned about (if you reckon someone nasty is going to get to your computer at all) is your FTP, database and hosting admin access.

Hello,

I am intergrating BB into WordPress and am hitting a wall.

When I attempt to go to step three of installation I meet the following text:

bbPress database error: [Column ‘post_text’ cannot be part of FULLTEXT index]

Finished!

I am doing everything to the letter and cannot see what I’m doing wrong…..

The only things I change to install is the directory titles from:

wordpress to ‘journal’

and

bbpress to ‘message_board’

Help would be greatly appreciated. As its driving me mental. All of this just so I can have people sign in to both wordpress and bbpress at the same time.

Thanks

Hmm. I took a look at the “Connections” theme by Vanilla Mist, and it seems that the header file in that theme is not used for actual header information, but only for the header DIV. This will make your life somewhat more difficult if you want to integrate your bbPress seemlessly in the manner that I described above.

[metalvalley]

I’d like to see a smilie plugin like wp-grins for wordpress!

[fel64]

I don’t know about “feature”, but all it means is that it sets a cookie that isn’t cleared until a week from when you log in. Unless you log out, that cookie remains. In WordPress, you can untick the “Remember Me” thing; I don’t know if bbPress can (yet) be configured to not remember you like that.

If you’re worried, just log out when you’re done.
