Google? Animated fire gifs have been around longer than bbPress, BuddyPress and WordPress put together…

I’m running a forum, which has a sidebar on the left, it was a pain to edit that sidebar, so I tried some including today.

If you want to including a file in to your forum, use this code:

<?php bb_load_template(‘sidebar.php’);?>

Add that sidebar.php or whatever you want to call it in your template folder.

It works similar like the one we are used to using for WordPress:

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.”/sidebar.php”);?>

@gerikg: There’s far more chance that someone has written something like this for WordPress in their plugin database

[Simon Wheatley]

Glad to see what I am saying confirmed with independent realworld proof.

Pleased to be of service.

BTW, just how big is your site that you require multiple db servers?

I don’t know of a single WordPress+bbPress install, other than Automattic’s that are using multiple db servers.

(unless of course you are running other apps that have heavy db use or maybe for backup replication)

It’s more for redundancy than anything else, although before we got opcode caching in and had optimised some plugins involved we were catching traffic surges when our client tweeted new posts that were making us very very glad we had that much capacity.

It’s deep, I can access and use all my WordPress functionality. Afaik using wp-blog-header.php is deprecated for that use, I’ve been calling wp-load.php.

[benbeltran]

Thanks. I’ll keep on trying. I’m not using wordpress though, it’s a 100% custom system integrated with bbpress. I’m sure it’ll turn out to be something stupid from my part.

[Greg]

Hmmm. They say talking to oneself is one of the first signs of insanity…

I just found a year old thread on this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load?replies=7#post-14899

So I have a couple of questions for anyone out there:

1. Aside from the ugliness of a core hack, is there any reason my workaround is a bad idea?

2. Has anyone produced a plugin that implements Beau’s idea in the thread above?

Sounds like there are a lot of people with deep integration, so I find it really strange that this is still a problem in WPMU 2.8.4a / bbPress 1.0.2.

[Greg]

[Opening a new thread with a more descriptive title. The old one was here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-404-error-but-page-displays%5D

I have bbPress 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4a with deep integration. Forum pages load fine in the browser, but they have a 404 status in the header, which causes a googlebot crawl error. If you have deep integration, this might be true for you too. You can use Firebug or http://web-sniffer.net/ to check.

I have posted my understanding of the problem and a workaround on the WPMU forums: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14425?replies=1#post-83354

I think this issue will stop Google (and other search engines) from indexing your forum pages. So if you are using deep integration it might be a good idea to watch for a patch.

Use my little workaround at at your own risk.

[Greg]

Looks like WordPress is setting the 404 because it doesn’t recognize the bbPress page that is loading.

When the global WP object is constructed, the function WP->handle_404 calls “status_header( 404 )”.

As a workaround, I modified “handle_404” to lay off the 404 if “BB_PATH” is defined (i.e. when a bbPress page is loading). This seems to work ok.

Here’s the new “handle_404” at around line 445 in “wp-includes/classes.php”.

function handle_404() {

global $wp_query;



if ( !defined( 'BB_PATH' ) && (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) && !is_404() && !is_search() && ( $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {



// Don't 404 for these queries if they matched an object.

if ( ( is_tag() || is_category() || is_author() ) && $wp_query->get_queried_object() ) {

if ( !is_404() )

status_header( 200 );

return;

}

$wp_query->set_404();

status_header( 404 );

nocache_headers();

} elseif ( !is_404() ) {

status_header( 200 );

}

}

It’s not too hard but it does take a while. You first have to figure out which profile you want your user to use, wordpress or bbpress.

[johnnydoe]

yeah that’s what i’m doing since 2 days (i allways try things first befor i ask), and this is kinda annoying if you’re in a “productive flow” with your template design.

aaaaanyway i may find this pisser … one day

thanks kawa

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Nooo idea where they are then sorry, try using something like Find in Files with Programmer’s Notepad to search for the line

[johnnydoe]

just the the other way round haha , i need to hide those existing messages completely.

[Mark]

I know WordPress has a page full of ’em that you can use here: https://wordpress.org/about/logos/

Not so sure if bbpress has put up such a page or not though. They don’t seem to have a similar page yet, but the team at Automattic are usually pretty damn cool about things like that (if you wanted to pull one from somewhere in the public domain), so long as you make it plain that you’re not a subsidiary.

[Fantastic Leman]

I checked the above mentioned section, and yes, it seems that it will be alright. I will give it a try when my customer requests this.

Thank you so much, Kawauso. Arigato gozaimasu.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Not quite sure what you’re asking, but if you’re just trying to display a message to non-logged in users, use something like:

<?php if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

Welcome, please log in or register!

<?php endif; ?>

in front-page.php

My coding is pretty terrible too ;P I just learn from poking around in bbPress and WordPress and breaking things a lot, so you’re going about it the right way

[johnnydoe]

well not really kawa i’ve just copy & pasted the message from this forum here (@chand it’s right on top of this forum), my forum is in german and i thought that sounds maybe chinese for a few if i post the german message so i copied the one from here.

other than that , kawa you’re right i’m one of the most brilliant php coders you’ve ever seen, my backend know how is like …well ughhh beyond words lol

however, i use your trick with those fields, but yet an advice regarding to the “guest welcome/login message” ?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

It should be. There’s an option in the Advanced Options section of the WordPress Integration section to specify different settings for the user database, so you’d just have to use that. The rest of the bbPress database could be stored locally.

[Fantastic Leman]

Is it possible to integrate bbPress membership with a remotely hosted WordPress?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There’s no such thing as bb_print_scripts. bbPress is partially integrated with WordPress functions (BackPress), so in bbPress it remains wp_print_scripts.

[Tomcraft1980]

Hi There,

I adapted this plugin to bbPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-cornr/

You can load it here: http://www.xtc-modified.org/page-cornr.zip

Works great so far. The only thing that doesn’t work ist that the peel-effect only starts on a topic-page, but not on the front-page!

Any ideas?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

@johnnydoe: In your theme’s register.php, before the line if ( is_array($profile_info_keys) ) : (above the <?php tag before that), put:

<?php unset( $profile_info_keys['user_url'], $profile_info_keys['from'], $profile_info_keys['occ'], $profile_info_keys['interest'] ); ?>

That will take out the extra fields in the register form. What you did was take out the part that outputs all the form fields

I can’t see the “to participate” part either, did you manage to get hold of the bbPress.org template?

[synapticriot]

I’m working on the design for a web-site (e-zine) that will be use bbPress as it’s forum software somewhere later in time when we have enough members to warrant one. We will be having circular sticker-like buttons on the main page leading to the WordPress blog, Facebook fan-page, Twitter account and the bbPress forums. Is there anyway I can get an official vector that I’ll be licensed to use to design the sticker?

I can illustrate my own but I’m not completely sure whether that would be violating any of Automattic’s rights.

[mujtaba]

hi fellows,

iam running this blog http://www.embtrans.com , my hosting is running on Windows IIS and it doesnt allow mod_rewrite functionality.

i have managed to configure the pretty permalinks for WordPress using custom 404. here is its code

<?php

$qs = $_SERVER;

$_SERVER = substr($qs, strpos($qs, ‘:80’)+3);

$_SERVER = $_SERVER;

include(‘index.php’);

?>

i would like to know if there is some custom 404 code for bbpress on Windows IIS to make pretty permalinks work.

thanks in advance

I’m having trouble trying to work out in my wordpress homepage post, how to stop the comment button click to redirect to my bbpress forum, which I have just recently set up.

This is my website: http://fitness-passion.com

I do not want any redirects, but rather have the comment to stay at the original post in wordpress.

Please tell me how can I fix this problem. Thanks!
