Needs to be an option though because with that code in there, it will exclude when most users wouldn’t really need anything excluded. As well, that is only for the sidebar part, not the widget.

This is the block of database code that Trent had “fixed” up for me, to exclude the one forum.

(Found near end of plugin file)

function wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar() {

global $wpdb,$bbpath;

$bbtopic = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status = 0 AND forum_id NOT IN ('3') ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10");

Where => (‘3’) is the forum id to exclude..

It isn’t put in as an option, (though it would be easy to do), but all it really is, is adding SQL statement to exclude a forum. Maybe a guy should put a plugin code option for number of posts displayed as well as excluding a forum.

Glad to see someone is using my plugin The plugin has been listed before but it gone now, thank’s for re-posting it.

Maybe u can send me the fix and i add it into the plugin.

[Trent Adams]

I don’t know if this plugin is listed anywhere in the forum (can’t find it), but this is a plugin that will have recent forum posts from bbPress in your WordPress blog. Sidebar or otherwise. I use it and it is a great little plugin:

Recent bbPress Discussion in WP Plugin

As well, if you want to exclude a particular forum from the list, I have a little fix. Reply if that would help you.

Little duplication, but since this is a sticky post, I thought I would add it here:

It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.

bbpress-integration plugin

This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.

If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.

wordpress-integration

The first plugin will work for most users, but the second is available if needed.

Thanks,

Trent

Spencer and I got this going. It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.

What about it doesn’t work? Do you get an error?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Did you install that pluign in bbPress’ my-plugins folder?

What is your Display name set to? (In your WordPress profile)

[BrendonKoz]

Let me see if I understand the importation scheme you’re hoping for:

1.) One-time import.

2.) Each forum “section” would be a category in WordPress.

2a.) Should a category not exist, it will be created.

3.) Replies to a topic would be created as comments in a blog entry.

4.) Tags (if any exist) would be dropped.

This is going to be simple if I even decide to possibly tackle this. I don’t use either product in production, but have messed around with both of them. The biggest question I have is about users… Obviously, you’ll have users in the forum that don’t exist in WordPress. Would each user need to be created for wordpress, or would all of the imported entries default to a specified user? This would be the hardest (in my mind) thing to figure out and handle.

thanks!

The URL actually is here:

wp-search-from-bbpress

Must have cut off the link as it was too long maybe?

I have written a plugin to search the wp posts from bbpress search.

you can find the details here

[Trent Adams]

One thing I did extra Spencer was add the cookie information for my domain in config.php in bbPress.

$bb->cookiedomain = '.trentadams.ca';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Maybe try that. As well, I am sure you have it already, but wp_home and wp_siteurl can’t have slashes at the end of each of them.

The bbpress-integration plugin in WordPress. All I did was edit the option to have bb_ as the prefix and even though it was listed already, I always save the option again. Superstition I guess.

The WordPress-integration plugin was just thrown in my-plugins/ forlder in bbPress. It just works.

Can you give me anything else that might help you with this one?

Trent

[spencerp]

As I had said in my blog post, I have those plugins up and running, but.. the problem is that those that register on the bbPress forums, are not able to post comments on my blog, as their username..?

Plugins are:

WordPress Integration (0.7)

bbPress Integration (0.72)

Display-Name

bbPress Post (0.02)

It’s not pulling their email address, and their nicknames have to be assigned by me, in the blog’s control panel, under USERS? I’d hate to have to edit each USER on my blog, so they can post as their “nickname or username”.. rather then “Anonymous”..

Anyone with suggestions, and so forth?

Hello. I am trying to install bbpress under a WP2.0.5 install at http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/ . I have gone through the documentation for integration at http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ and looks like things come up fine.

However, when i add an entry, or click on a tag (e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/tags/mytag) i see a blank page! not sure why.

Its the same issue when I try to click on a forum topic – e.g. http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/forums/topic/2?replies=1

The variables in the config file are

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.inkriti.net’;

$bb->path = ‘/wp1/forums/’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.inkriti.net/wp1’;

This appears to be a wierd issue – i know i am missing somethign simple. IN particular I see that both $bb->wp_siteurl and $bb->wp_home are different from $bb->domain – could this be it?

Any help will be appreciated.

[Trent Adams]

Kinda shooting in the dark here, but will it install as http://localhost/forum/bb-admin/install.php ?

I am not sure if bbPress has to be installed with a fully qualified domain name or not.

Maybe check out this thread as well in your search.

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1426&replies=13

(I know it is MU WordPress, but same principle may apply)

If you haven’t figured this out already, but there is a plugin for doing this at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4?replies=1 and it does the following:

Share user accounts between your WordPress blog and your bbPress forums.

This plugin ensures current WordPress users can use the forum. As for registrations in bbPress and adding them to WordPress Users, check out:

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

It is a WordPress plugin to bring across the information for bbPress registrations.

My blog is setup so users can register in WP or bbPress because with these 2 plugins, it doesn’t matter where they register.

Thanks,

Trent

Standard WordPress location:

/wp-content/themes/blix/

BBPress is located:

/forum/

BBPress template is:

/forum/my-templates/

[Trent Adams]

First off, you are missing a slash to seperate the forum and all the URL’s that it generates. The actual place you installed bbPress is:

http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil/Forum/

You need to adjust some things in your config.php file in the bbPress root (above directory)

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

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

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

$bb->domain = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

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

$bb->path = '/Forum/';

As to make sure it integrates, config.php should have something like this:

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = wp_; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

Keep in mind this is no exactly depending on whether this is just WP or WPMU that you are using. As well, this assumes that you have those addresses in your WP options as well.

I think you will get the idea from this example though.

where’s blix located ? on bbpress or wordpress templates folder ?

[benebomber]

Hi,

I got a Problem using bbPress with WordPress-Integration on the Server of my University.

First Problem: There’s obviously no Stylesheet for the Forum-Site.

Second Problem: When I Try to login to bbPress, there’s just a window which shows me that I don’t have permission to use this Site. I think that means that there isn’t any such Folder bbPress is looking for. Because when i’m looking up in my FTP-Client, this Folder isn’t listed. It’s “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil/Forumprofile/1”.

The Domain is “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/” and WordPress is located in “http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~steinle/Pfeil”.

I’ve got no idea what the Problem is. Please, anyone, can You help me???

[Nola1974]

SInce bbpress emphasizes so much that it can share the database with WordPress, it really should be written so that if you drop it in a WP subdirectory it automagically blends in with the WP installation. There seems to be no way other than hacking themes to get the bbs to look right, when this shouldn’t be an issue IMHO. Isn’t there a way to say … “if we’re sharing a WP database, then look here for the theme.”?

[Trent Adams]

I don’t think WP user roles can be used in bbPress yet. In bbPress, you are either a user, a bozo or not registered. WordPress obviously has more roles. Unless I am missing something, that is where we are until someone writes a plugin or they change the bbPress core.

[Trent Adams]

Good to here Spencer!
