Hey guys, I got a question about the MD5 hash…..

I don’t understand which MD5 to use… Every user has a different hash right? So which one do I enter?

Can anyone try and clarify this for me, I almost got it working….

Hi there… I’m a vBulletin veteran, but am considering a switch over to bbPress to use in tandom with wordpress. Can anyone out there tell me the advantages of using bbPress compared to vBulletin? Is it just as powerful? Does it tie into WordPress seemlessly?

I also need to know if some features I require are available in bbPress… Here is my shortlist:

– Ability to act as forums admin (edit everything)

– Ability to add moderators to specific forums

– Custom avatars and signatures for users?

– Spam and ‘bad word’ filters?

– Private email/messaging system?

– Can I create categories/subcategories?

– Can I create little thumbnails for these categories?

There’s more but that’s a short list… Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

Hello

I’m testing out some things and trying to synchronize WordPress, BBPress and Amember Subscription software. I have pretty much everything worked out, but need a little cookie help if it’s out there.

I’ve read this post, which outlines cookie settings

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010

The problem is that I don’t want to install the cookie plugin for WP because I already have this in my Wp-config file

define(‘COOKIEPATH’,’/’);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

define(‘COOKIEHASH’, md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

I guess my question is, what do I put into my BB config file for cookies?

I realize this may not be a direct BBPress issue, but I thought maybe one of you had an idea.

Thanks

[ozirr]

Thank you very much to answer the question… And now i will found gallery for wordpress, and integrate it Thanks…

[ganzua]

I’m realizing that I have more undefined pages. I have a custom login page here -> http://www.joseperdicion.com/wordpress/wp-login.php , ultimate tag warrior pages, for example this one; http://www.joseperdicion.com/wordpress/index.php?tag=onirica

Besides, some single pages are not tall enough to put two ads blocks in the sidebar.

Where did you read how to build ” is_smthing () ” functions? I wonder if I coud build one for is_login, is_tag (I presume this one will be solved in wp 2.3), is_aparticularfolder.

Is it possible to build a conditional tag for page height?. For example; ” if it is taller than x number of lines then put two ads blocks”.

Hi again,

We couldn’t find any solution for that problem. If that’s a bug; I hope it will be corrected in new versions.

By the way, I’d said that we’ve integrated our bbPress forum to our WordPress blog. Now, forum users’ data is taken from WordPress’ wp_users table in database. And now, we do not have bb_users table.

If we want to seperate bbPress from WordPress (cancel the integration); what can we do? If we cancel the integration; does the bb_users table created automatically?

[chrishajer]

Not for the bbPress forum as far as I know. There are lots of picture galleries available for blogs like WordPress:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+photo+gallery+plugin

(which integrates nicely with bbPress) and even standalone photo galleries:

http://www.google.com/search?q=php+photo+gallery

I don’t know of a plugin for bbPress so I think you’ll be integrating something else into your website.

[benbeltran]

Well, you’d have to edit bbpress’s theme so it suits your website.

[dejongsplaza]

We are looking for a nice forum, so bbPress is an obvious and nice indeed solution. But, how can we integrate bbPress with or into WordPress? I mean, not datebase, cookies etc. (http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/), but visual, in our WordPress site?

[mpm]

login between my wpmu installation and my bbpress seem to work okay but when I click on a topic link on the frontpage I get a page not found error from my wpmu installation…

WPMU: http://www.mpm.org.au (blog signup disabled but you can sign up as a user)

BBPress: http://www.mpm.org.au/community/

Previously I did have it all working but only with WP single not MU.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This is my config file:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘xxxx’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘xxxx_xxxx’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

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

// 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.mpm.org.au&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

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

“What’s the actual problem? How are you using it, what do you expect it to do, what exactly is it doing?”

->

In my wp-bb integration, bbpress is integrated in wordpress and the forum uses the wordpress sidebar. I want to insert advertising blocks in the free space that I have in the bottom of the sidebar.

I’m trying to use wp conditional tags to display different ad blocks because in some pages I have space enough for one block, and in other pages I have space for two or three blocks.

In wp single pages I can display at least two 120×600 blocks so I’m using is_single() but I realized that these blocks are appearing in the bbpress forum too! and I just have no space enough for them so I want to change them for a 125×125 block when the forum is displayed or perhaps I could remove all ads when bbpress displayed.

So “How are you using it” -> after copy/pasting your function in my theme functions file, I inserted this code in my sidebar;

‘

<?php if (is_bbpress()

|| is_archive()

) { ?>

<!– 125×125 block –>

…

…

<?php } ?>

<?php if (is_single()

|| is_page()

) { ?>

<!– 160×600 block –>

…

…

<?php } ?>

‘

“what do you expect it to do” -> showing different ads blocks in the sidebar when bbpress displayed

“what exactly is it doing” -> is showing the blocks I set for is_single ()

[ganzua]

Hey fel64

I tried and it seems to work until you make an is_single() statement because then, wordpress takes bbpress subpages; topics, profiles… as if they were wp single entries.

Is it possible to catch the whole bbpress installation with your function?

Hi there!

I’ve started a new site hosting a couple of WordPress plugins, I did for my customers and wanted to publish: http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/

The newest release is BackUpWordPress (http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/plugins/backupwordpress/), a must for all bloggers running WordPress. This Plugin is a Backup and Recovery Suite for WordPress, which was released 4 days ago and downloaded 447 times until now. I am not able to handle the support request via comments on the blog anymore so yesterday I decided to start http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/

…powered by bbPress of course!

[verygood]

Hi there,

I need to customise new process that involves the following:

User’s management and permissions synch between WordPress blogs and BBpress

New threads management and permissions synch between WordPress blogs and BBpress

And all this get complicated when implemented on multiple blogs invoirment.

Can anyone help when to search?

p.s

I’ve this one:

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

but the documentation is to poor…

– do you know somebody to program my needs from scratch (paid by paypal / CC)

Thanks

[llabrealityblog]

that matches WordPress.com’s “Fjords” theme?

If not, could somebody please make one? I have almost zero experience with CSS. Hell, I’ve just mastered HTML!

[fel64]

Kein Problem, kann ich lesen.

I think that problem with the feeds is easily fixable. Look for spaces before and after <?php and ?>, and possibly check if this works for you otherwise (you may have to look for a similar mistake in bb rather than in wp).

[Sam Bauers]

You should consider just tracking what the last time was each user viewed a topic. That will reduce the number of entries in your table to a maximum of one entry for each user on each topic, rather than one entry for each user on each post.

As for the delay in getting plugin “approval”, you aren’t alone. I’ve waited a while at times and had to poke for it to get done, approval is less about the question of “is your code good enough” and more about weeding out spam/bozos etc. Also, from what I understand mdawaffe is pretty much the only developer doing significant work on bbPress at Automattic and he has other responsibilities there as well (including maintaining the WordPress plugin browser).

The community here is growing, but small, and the few people who are regular contributors to this forum are really quite helpful, enthusiastic and generally pretty knowledgeable. I hope you feel more welcome as you get to know us and become more involved.

[Jaithn]

actually i have found some more problems…

after integration. my feeds don’t work anymore…

the bbpress feed shows the following error:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: XML-Deklaration nicht am Beginn von externer Entität

Adresse: http://zuhause-weltweit.de/forum/rss.php

Zeile Nr. 1, Spalte 3: <?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>

–^

and the wordpress feed:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: XML-Deklaration nicht am Beginn von externer Entität

Adresse: http://zuhause-weltweit.de/feed

Zeile Nr. 1, Spalte 3: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

–^

sorry, its in german. but both only say, that the declaration is not at the beginning…

how does that come? any ideas?

thx,

jaithn

Hey fel64!

Thanks for the answer. Do you know if is it possible to copy these functions in your wordpress theme functions file?

In fact I only need to define one conditional tag; is_bbpress(), so I can display different advertising blocks in the wordpress sidebar when loading bbpress.

[fel64]

1. Sounds like a cookie problem. Clear your cookies, log in with bb and see what cookies are set; repeat for wp.

2. Possibly an integration problem. Open bb-settings.php and add the line you used in config.php to load wordpress, then see if the problem persists (just at a wild guess).

[ganzua]

In wordpress you can use conditional tags -> http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags to display different content according to the page that is being displayed.

Well, after having wp and bb integrated and displaying wp sidebar in bbpress, is it possible to define conditional tags for bbpress or bbpress folders?

[Jaithn]

hello guys,

i have succesfully integrated bbpress and wordpress…i’m still working on the template integration, but is in progress…

[rashantha]

can you post the link.

[burtton]

Which edition of WP do you use? 2.0.4 or 2.1? The newest edition allows you to display latest post from wordpress.Just update your WP However, I have a problem too.How could I make a pluging of Audio Player into my blog? I’ve tried several times,but it said: fail to link!

[fel64]

Err, no. I read your description here. I thought about that approach before but I like the time-based implementation, especially as my hosting is a bit creaky (and edit: having come to the finish of this post, I realise that it’s actually not that bad at all! Maybe it is a good idea, especially as it’s a lot more convenient). It’s good that you’ve done it though, and cool that you’re sharing it (in the face of adversity ). I hope you don’t mind; here’s some suggested changes that could speed things up a lot.

For installing the table, you may want to use bb_dbDelta() (should work exactly as wp’s implementation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins ).

There are also a lot of queries made that you could probably avoid. For example, in the topic listing the current topic will be in the global $topic, and you can get its last_post_id by this:

$last_post_in_topic = $topic->topic_last_post;

You can do the same for the number of posts.

Every column in the table will be available as a member variable (don’t know how familiar you are with PHP? Member variables are just like above, $member->!!!member_variable!!!) – that’s true for users, posts, topics and forums alike. (Meta entries are too, if there’s an entry topic_colour in the topicmeta table you can call it by $topic->topic_colour.)

Right now you’re making at least three additional queries per topic:

if ( utplugin_is_topic_unread($topic, $user) || utplugin_is_topic_new($topic, $user) )

utplugin_is_topic_unread() makes three queries. If it’s not unread, it’ll check if it’s new, too, which is another two. For the default 30 topics, that’s 90 – 150 additional database queries per single view of a page. Since db queries are usually the bottlenecks in website speed that could be a problem. (_ck_ would probably blow an artery.)

By using the already-queried stuff from global $topic you can cut that down to one or two topics per query. Also, in utplugin_is_topic_new() you’re using exactly the same value again, but making a new query for it, if I see that right. You could either move the check to utplugin_is_topic_unread() (which would return true for unread and for new) or make that a global itself.

That would make it at most one query per topic.

Finally, IIRC data for all topics on the page is being called in a single query. If you can find the right filter or hook, you may find that you can get all the relevant topic_ids at once, at the start, then do a _single_ query on your table that gets data for all of them, make that a static (so it’s preserved every time the function is called) and use that data every time. Then the overhead generated by your plugin wouldn’t even be so bad.
