I am thouroughly confused on how to do this. Where the heck would I actually start? I don’t want to integrate the the databases/cookies/etc., I just want to apply the same look of my header and footer at http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/ with http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/bbpress…

[parthatel]

How can I create a navigation bar in bbPress so that when I update it in WordPress, it automatically gets updated in bbPress? I don’t want to call the full wp header as the bbPress header, but would I be able to use

<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>

in bbPress to call the pages in the navigation bar? Both my WordPress and bbPress are integrated in the same databases. If not, how can I do it?

I use a custom theme (heavily a modified Kakumei) and some custom plugins. The forum is new, so it doesn’t have activity, all our users are still using the Vanilla forum we had.

I didn’t hack any core files, all “non standard things” are donde via custom plugins.

Plugins i use:

– My own “Ajustes” (for sidebar, footer and navigation menu content, profile content, and some html tags).

– MD5 Insecurity (will be deactivated soon).

– Private Messaging Extended

– A custom Quicktags (ported from Vanilla)

– Ajaxed Quote

– Simple Online List (i also modified a lot this plugin, because it never worked for me ….).

– Unread Topics. I also modified this one, it was doing too many queries. I added some indices and reduced the overhead.

– User Photo. I ported the User Photo WP plugin.

– Human Test.

Also i indirectly use:

– Gaming Codes: each user can enter his gaming codes. They’re displayed on the user profile.

– Aleph: this plugin creates user lists (among other things). So i use it inside WP like a “member list”. The beauty is that i can easily create different user lists, so i created a list for each gaming code (in other words, users can see which users have a certain gamer code).

As i said, the theme is a heavily modified Kakumei. I replaced all topics/forum loops with my own, trying to mimick the Vanilla look. Also the css is based on the Tarski theme for WordPress. In fact, i import it directly from the WP installation.

For the forum/topic icons, i created a custom plugin which printed the css based on the slug of each forum, and then i added the resulting code to the style.css. I still have to create a lot of icons, those are temporary.

I hope you like my forums and if you have any questions or would like a plugin/theme release, just ask :p

I’m looking for a loader.php file to do this. Is it called something else?

[parthatel]

Just like how WordPress calls time in the footer by <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?> and the name by <?php bloginfo(); ?>. What is the code I need to use for bbPress since <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?> doesn’t work to get the year? I also need to know how to get the bbPress title.

I have used WordPress for a few websites but only recently stumbled across BBPress.

I just added a Forum to this School History site which was pretty painless.

[Mufasa]

I’m not going to let this go

[Mufasa]

How can we vote on this? Clearly lots of people want easier integration with their site – its just too bloody hard to get it going.

Bring on a WordPress [shortcode] and widgets!!

I’m very happy with how easy it it get the accounts to jive but what about the front end of our websites. I don’t expect the bbPress team to just start listening and acting on what I say – but I will put my money where my mouth is and if the bbPress team spoke to us and pointed us in the right direction – what hooks to use etc then I would even look at doing the code to make it happen.

But I don’t even know if people care

I upgraded bbpress after upgrading my wordpress site to the latest version (2.5.1). The install complained that there were already forums/threads in the database, but said the install went OK. The problem I’m having, however, is that when I go to the forums, I get a t_string error referring to line 20 of the bb_config.php file.

This line is the prefix used for the tables.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

So, I’m guessing that it thinks it is a new install instead of merely an upgrade. How do I get the updated version to simply read in the existing forums and threads?

Thank you so much for any help. These are busy forums and there will be limited patience with this problem.

Can you post the URLs for the old site, new site and forum?

Is it possible you hard coded the old domain in a template or link somewhere? Maybe the link in the WordPress menu is still to the old site? Did you search through your WordPress template directories for the old domain? If it’s hard coded in a template file, it would not be in the database.

Or maybe, you were not consistent with www vs. non-www for the URL? I have seem WordPress redirect example.com to http://www.example.com in some cases (never sat down to figure out when or why that happens.)

[Derek Ashauer]

We previously setup WordPress/BBPress on a different domain. When we switched domains, I changed every reference of the old domain to the new one by exporting the database and doing a search/replace then reimporting the database.

Everything seems to work except for one minor issue: When you go to the BBPress main page, it redirects the URL to the old domain name. Everything works fine except it does not maintain the session. Once you click on a forum or topic title, it goes back to the new domain name. I cannot find any reference to the old domain name anywhere in config files, htaccess or the database – what else could it be?

I have the latest version of bbpress installed to my own server, and it is integrated with wordpress (also the latest).

I added one new forum a few weeks ago, but today I tried and it gave me the error: “Something strange happened. Try reloading the page.”

I did reload the page several times, but it still doesn’t work! I am completely stuck…I can’t add new forums or categories…please HELP!

These plugins I have installed and activated:

Use Display Name

Wordpress Integration

Allow Images

Avatar Upload

bbPress Avatars

bbPress Signatures

That’s all…anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!!!!

[mystifier]

I like the idea of adding a BB to a WordPress website and BBPress offers good integration but, having had one website previously screwed with a Visitor’s Book, I am a bit paranoid about PHP Injection.

Since there is actually an invitation to put code between backticks, how secure is it against injection?

Is there a simple hack to exclude backticks?

Cookies in WordPress 2.5.1 are compatible with cookies in bbPress 0.9.0.2

[Sam Bauers]

@javalizard

You need to upgrade WordPress as well to fix the cookie incompatibility.

[tbaleno]

Those solutions did’t work.

I just upgraded wordpress to 2.5.1 and still no luck.

[Mufasa]

Can somebody set that spammer on fire? Please!!! Seriously hot sticky napalm would be just fine…

Nobody can login to our site at all – including Admin.

We will probably hack it to work – but I think we should all vote for bbPress [shortcodes] and widgets.

1) [bbPress]

2) bbPress widgets

Hail bbPress [shortcodes] and widgets

The same happened to me after upgrading my wordpress to V.2.5.1

The problem is that auth mechanism in wordpress (based on cookies) has changed and no more compatible with the bbPress’ one. I believe that the next bbPress release will fix it. However now there is only one way to solve the problem – to edit some piece of code(only few lines). This is the instruction:

1) open your bbpress_dir/bb-includes/pluggable.php

2) find function wp_validate_auth_cookie

3) inside this function change next 2 lines of code

$key = wp_hash($username . $expiration);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . $expiration, $key);

to

$key = wp_hash($username . ‘|’ . $expiration);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

4) find function wp_generate_auth_cookie

5) inside this function change next 2 lines of code

$key = wp_hash($user->user_login . $expiration);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $user->user_login . $expiration, $key);

to

$key = wp_hash($user->user_login . ‘|’ . $expiration);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $user->user_login . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

That’s all!

NOTE! It’s only actual for wordpress 2.5.1 with bbpress 0.9.0.1

Hi all,

I just successfully got Michel Fortin’s Markdown to work in bbPress… I’ve submitted it as a plugin here on bbPress.org, but as that page isn’t updating for some reason, you can download it from the WordPress.org page.

Enjoy, and of course let me know if you have any problems with it.

WPMU is adding some extra information to the end of wordpress’ username cookie content.

For example, the old cookie content is simply “admin,” while the new cookie is “admin” + a number like “%7C1211540101%7Cb954a41e23200ea6951bdeb405dc5237.”

Perhaps this is some kind of hash? I know WPMU 1.5.1 added a salt key to the wp-config.php file, so maybe that has something to do with it.

[jldean]

Exactly the same problem here – posted yesterday.

It is odd that admin can still login though…? Do you find the same?

[chrishajer]

Someone just posted this:

Sounds like the same problem?
