I would like to know how to start a custom bbPress loop to display the recent 5 posts of a certain forum (say Forum Test 1).

In WordPress I create custom loops like this:

`<?php $custom_posts = new WP_Query(); ?>

<?php $custom_posts->query(‘post_type=bbp_topic&posts_per_page=5’); ?>

<?php while ($custom_posts->have_posts()) : $custom_posts->the_post(); ?>

<div class=”block-2 border-top”>

<h2><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<p><?php comments_number(‘0 Replies’,’1 Reply’,’% Replies’); ?>.</p>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>`

How to do what I mentioned above in bbPress 1.1?

Hey! I’ve now fixed my problem

The system (Debian 6) was missing or had an old version of php5-gd installed. apt-get install php5-gd and restarting the apache2 server fixed the problem of the blank pages.

Also these code changes by _ck_ helped to improve Avatar Upload:

Delete avatar function: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1093

Make identicon function work: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1096

@ Darkwolf.it

1. A category can’t hold topics, its meant to only be a container of sub-fora.

2. Don’t really know what you mean..

3. Making a custom theme for a plugin, seems like a long shot. Especially since it won’t intergrate into your site and just takes it over.

4. It’s in the settings (Settings > Forums).

5. None yet, but since the topics are just custom posts, you could write up a script.

6. As said many times before, it has a high priority, but don’t expect it to be done tommorow.

@ Kasparas

This topic is about all the info you’ll get. The plugin will be the same as the standard bbPress in the end.

@ ALL

I know all of you have been waiting for a good forum plugin for wordpress for a while, but don’t ask radical script changes or widgets in this stage. Just let them build a solid script and the custom stuff will come later.

Hi

I’ve just installed bbpress on a side with wordpress, and succeded!

It was a bit complicated, and i went through installation procedure twice.

I used this as a guide:

http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/

During the first (unsuccessfull) installation I installed bbpress in parallel to wordpress, ex:

…/wordpress

…/bbpress

I experienced some of the same symptoms as mentioned above

During the second installation (after dropping the bb_* tables using phpAdmin) i installed exactly like in the video, ie

…/wordpress/forums

And surprise!!! It works perfectly!

Im not in a position where I can use more time exploring why this and not the other works, but someone might have an explanation.

All the best and good luck

Some question:

1) What is the difference between “forum” and “category”?

2) How i can use a wp theme for plugin?

3) Why don’t use a theme for plugin not related with wordpress (or simple try to use directly wp theme without customization)?

4) How i can permit guest to post?

5) Is there any way to “promote” a topic in home page (in blog)?

6) Any eta to convert from bbpress standalone?

Thanks in advance, DarkWolf

Sorry, just for clarity- does that mean that BBPress (plugin) will have a totally separate theme from the main WordPress install?

I’m presently running a Buddypress + Multisite install and I know my theme situation is more complicated than most, but I’d like to be able to carry over the Buddypress things (like the admin bar). Is this something that will be too sticky?

[Anonymous User 7670885]

I’ve make this with only one database (all 3 script in same database) but i don’t have found any way to convert a specific board (news board, atm used to publish article in home page with smf) in wordpress articles

I can try with rss but with this i can’t import also reply.

Any idea for this?

[QuickD]

Thanks for responding looking forward to the official wordpress.org release of this software

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Sorry for bump but is more important for me.

I’ve converted my smf to phpbb3 to bbpress and now i want try to convert a specific board (News Board: 650 Posts | 206 Topics) in WordPress article (with all replies). Is there any way to make this (is the opposite of this topic request)?

–

I’ve a valid smf+phpbb3+bbpress database in my local webserver and i can try to convert to other board/script if is necessary – i require to convert only this board in wordpress and all the rest of forum can remain intact.

Thanks in advance, DarkWolf.

@JJJ

But will the bbpress plugin work out-of-box, without customization, with P2?

It’s only code, so anything is possible.

I’m having a slightly different problem. When logging in to WordPress then going over to the bb_press area, the login status transfers (I get recognised as an admin), but the admin link wont work – it just leaves me on my bb_press front page? If I log out then log in on the bb_press login I get to my admin panel just fine :-s

Have I messed something up? Pretty sure the salts etc. are all ok – it wouldn’t recognise my admin status otherwise surely?

Edit: not just the link btw, directly going to admin url just bounces back to front page.

Does anyone know if the new bbPress plugin for WordPress will be able to us the P2 WordPress theme?

http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/

Before anyone quickly answers, please note that P2 is a radically different theme for WordPress that essentially turn WordPress into a micro-blog (e.g. Twitter).

It’s also worthwhile to note that Auttomatic (creators of WP) created this theme themselves.

I added the “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );” line in wp-config.php and now it will log me off admin account if i log off via WordPress only. That’s it though.

Any recommendation Ashfame? Do you have it currently working with 3.1 wordpress and latest bbpress?

From my hours of searching, attempting to repair things I’ve got it nailed down to being a cookie problem, and it seems to be a wordpress thing.

[panosbax]

so if user databases are working fine between the two, is it safe to say the problem resides with the cookies and the login keys. Considering I didn’t see anything in the admin/config.php about them in the php. All these guides say to look there for them, but they simply aren’t there (in 3.1 of WordPress anyways). Has anyone here done the 3.1 install and successfully gotten full integration between the two (only 1 login on either or will work)?
