I know that if you integrate your wordpress with bbpress you can display the latest posts – but can you display the latest posts from someone elses wordpress?

Hi,

Can the “post moderation before publishing” property be added to bbPress?

Some people register only for spam, or some does not obey the rules of the forum. So, we may want to moderate new members’ posts.

For example, a new member is registered to our forum.

Like WordPress, a member who has not any approved post, (or a number of posts which is defined by the admin) the message of him/her may be moderated.

I think this property will be very useful for most of the bbPress users.

Is there any way to add a “Remember me” check box like the one on the WordPress login page?

Actually found a good one! Check this out:

If it is a headers already sent, I would imagine there must be a space at the end of your file after the ?> portion of config.php or the included files in your config.php.

So I installed the latest version of bbpress 0.8.1 and wordpress 2.1.2. I followed the instructions on this website: http://www.bui4ever.com/web-itecture/how_to_integrate_wordpress_and_bbpress/

There are a few CSS problems which i’m sure i’ll be able to iron out but the worrying thing is when i try to post any information – a new tag, new post, new topic; I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/pjqkug/public_html/forum/config.php:3) in /home/pjqkug/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Anyone think they can have a gander and help?

No idea. Try emailing one of the admin on the wordpress site.

Where to post? Logged into WordPress yesterday and posted a support question, only for someone to suggest posting here (as it related to bbpress) Went to login to the WordPress forum tonight and it comes up with the message ‘banned – no such user’ which is bizarre? Can someone suggest what the problem is?

[startribe]

Think I just found a temporary fix. We have maybe 7 wordpress users that use display names. I don’t think that bbpress users can edit display names in the bbpress profile section, so this must of been why it was showing up blank when our bbPress users (not wp users) were posting in the forums. I fixed the issue by un-checking the “integrated with wordpress” check box on the bdLP options page.

Our bbpress and wordpress users don’t switch sides so much, so it shouldn’t be to much of an issue.

Best,

I never followed up, so I’ll do so now. We ended up choosing Vanilla (http://www.getvanilla.com) for our forums at http://forums.opendns.com/. We continue to be thrilled with WordPress, but bbPress was too big an investment of time to integrate with our systems at the time we had to move.

I’m sure if bbPress gets even 1/4 of the community attention that WP gets, it will be fantastic.

A couple of things:

1) You didn’t configure the config.php file correctly and that’s why the site has no CSS: http://my-cool-forums.example.com/bb-admin/install.css should be http://rigelastronomy.com/bb-admin/install.css

2) You need to actually run the installer, much like WordPress

[daniel8802]

Hi guys … I have wordpress up and running on my site, but I tried to get bbpress working, but something isn’t quite right I think. Am I doing something wrong? You can check it out at rigelastronomy.com/bbpress … thanks! I’m new to bbpress, but love wordpress

[peiqinglong]

Did you specify to load the admin interface? Make sure this line is inside your bbpress header somewhere: <?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

[peiqinglong]

The first problem is in your header, you have:

<php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, it should be <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> and with the second import, I'm not sure why style.css is just floating around outside. It should be pointing to your forum so it should be: @import url(“/archas/ram/wordpress/forum/bb-templates/your themestyle.css”);`

The second problem is you have to edit EVERY file in the template. Make a new folder in bb-templates, call it whatever you want and copy all the files from kakumei theme except for images directory into your new folder and change all the files that have <bb_get header()> to <get_header()> and don’t forget the footer and sidebar.

The third problem is you need to style the bbpress stylesheet to match your theme…

I am still a stuck on this, I am not totally sure what to enter in my plugin options. With the old plugin I adjusted these options in the plugin php file:

$bbpath = ‘/content/forums’; // Adjust the path to suit your bbpress location. Example: ‘/forums’

$forum_slimit = ’20’; // Adjust the limit to show

… and I was able to get the feature working.

In the options menu for the new plugin I have adjusted the path to reflect the above path. I left the options below the “External DB” option blank: “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host,” for I believe these are for using the external database, and I am using the local host and sharing a database with WordPress. (I also tried filling the “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host” options, with out checking the external datatbase box, and I ran into the same issue.)

Anyhow, I will have to re-activate the old v.3 working plugin for now, and we will have to manually edit the title lengths in the meantime. I will still be pushing for a solution, and if anyone has any ideas to why I can’t get this plugin working, the help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

btw- i’m on WordPress 2.1 & bbPress 0.8.1

[startribe]

Thanks for the replies. I have updated the plugin, but now I am getting an errors on my wordpress pages:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘content._bbtopics’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM _bbtopics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 50

I am starting to research this, and if anyone else already knows what the problem might be, feel free to chime in.

Best,

Orion

in bb-admin panel, it shows only the code of php file.

what bout other questions ?

[chrishajer]

There is no activation required for bbPress plugins. Just drop them into a folder called my-plugins and they start working automatically. If you don’t already have that directory, go ahead and create it in your forum root.

[archasek]

ok, i did something like that in my front site, and everything seem to be working ok, but:

– look at forum and at wordpress- there is a little difference between them. text in forum is on the left, out from the table.

– in my bb-admin page i have bad encoding (im polish), i have to use the unicode, dunno what bbpress uses

how to add (activate) plugins for bbpress? i want to have display-name plugin to change moderators names

[peiqinglong]

Make sure that when you enter: require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’);, it’s absolute path. For example: /home/username/archas/ram/wordpress/

To find out what your absolute path is:

1) make a file and call it path.php

2) add this code into the path.php: <?php $p = getcwd(); echo $p; ?>

3) upload it to your wordpress directory and access it http://www.cs.elomza.pl/archas/ram/wordpress/path.php, that will output your path.

Hey Community,

We are getting closer to the launch of our site, and we are still having trouble with our bbpress title lengths interfering with our wordpress layout.

You can see our bbpress forum locations spread through out the site.

http://208.109.218.158

Is there any way to put a limit on the length of titles so they don’t break our site? We are using the same setup as described above.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it means some sort of a temp css fix to hide overflow.

Thanks,

Orion

What have you done? You have to give details of what you did because I (maybe others) cannot translate what you did into a fix without you telling us what exactly you have done…..

what can i do

[jameskirsop]

My development machine is a local install of Apache/PHP/mySQL on my PowerBook running under OS 10.4.9.

I’ve tried installing bbPress within a folder of my wordpress installation for a project I’m working on, but I’m getting blank pages from bbPress (ie. no content at all – just a white page). WordPress installed and works fine, but I can’t even get to the point of installing bbPress.

I’m running PHP 5.1.6 and mySQL 5.0.22-standard.

Anyone got any suggestions on how I can get content showing on the pages?
