I am so impatient. I never thought I’d be excited about a forum plugin, but I am. I check here everyday to see if this has been completed…

@JJJ or whoever wants to chime in. You responded to Rootside and explained the login page, but I’m not sure if that answers my question. It sounds like you’re talking about a login page integrated into a WordPress page. But, I want my members to also be able to use the default WordPress registration and login page (wp-login.php). That will work with the plugin right?

Hello

I have Dutch language nl_NL.mo installed for WP in /public_html/wptest/wp-content/themes/bp-default

The site is running Buddypress

Challenge:

The Forum navigation menus are still in English

Please tell me how I can ensure bbPress Forum is presented in Dutch?

Thanks in advance

Phil

P.S. I have searched this forum without success for a solution.

[wckdonlinemdia]

Hello

I have domain domainnameDOTcom/

My WordPress directory is domainnameDOTcom/wordpress/

Installed BuddyPress Default 1.2.7 with WordPress 3.0.4

With BB-Press Forum

When I select any tab that is not created in WP then the FULL url including the WP install directory is evident

How can I ensure this WP directory remains “hidden” from the users perspective

I have tried to implement bp-custom.php which resides in /public_html/wptest/wp-content/plugins/buddypress without success.

That is the WP directory can be seen in the URL when I select “Forum” tab, thereafter the site adopts the extended url even though permalinks is set to /%category%/%postname%/

Here is the code I found on this site and tested:

code:

<?php

// Getting rid of the subfolder in URLs/permalinks

function my_bp_override_core_domain() {

$domain = get_bloginfo(‘url’);

return $domain;

}

add_filter(‘bp_core_get_root_domain’,’my_bp_override_core_domain’);

?>

I look forward to hearing feedback

Phil

My next problem was:

Registration worked with default themes but not once I got integration correct.

The form would not accept the email address, even when typed in plainly. Dismay!

The following plug fixed everything for me:

I’m just a little confused about how the themes work for this. Does there need to be a separate bbpress theme for each wordpress theme you want to use? Or can you use a default bbpress theme that will inherit the wordpress theme in use?

[Snat]

I am still in the finishing stages of finishing mine up and always do need testing databases to make sure it works fine.

Do contact me if you would like to help me test it as I would like to test the converter on just more then my original IP.Board and default installations.

I have uploaded all of the files to my web server and then went to my admin centre of my website, and I still didn’t see any changes. I am running the Twenty Ten WordPress Theme (default). Do you have any idea why this isn’t working?

[Mark McWilliams]

Oh that (all of the above) sounds like me from the other day!

John James Jacoby: […] we’re up to 32 individual template files […]

Man alive I didn’t think we had that many?!?!?!?!?

John James Jacoby: […] to be as simple to understand as possible without tons of proprietary functions or complex logic to figure out. To do that, we’ve split some of the files into ‘parts’ that focus on specific functionalities. Some of this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now because of lack of documentation […]

I agree with (and like) the idea to split some of the files into ‘parts’ as you put it JJJ which has already been done, and yes the documentation might not be there right now, but I don’t think that’s the main ‘problem’ here if we can call it that?

While I don’t has access to a demo, either locally or online that’s fully up-to-date it makes it hard to comment on some of the newer stuff committed, after my PC decided it didn’t want to be a PC anymore!

John James Jacoby: We also have an empty folder for a theme named ‘bbp-default’ which will more than likely be a full-featured theme that flexes a bit more bbPress muscle.

In my eyes, it’ll be interesting to see how this will differ from ‘bbp-twentyten’ but I’m sure I’ll be proven wrong and all that! — But while Twenty Ten is still the default theme for WordPress, I think it’s fair to say ‘bbp-twentyten’ still has to flex the bbPress muscle too?

John James Jacoby: I think when bbPress has more eyes on the code and more developers start integrating forum files into their themes, we’ll see some really neat things start to happen.

Yes more eyes would go down a treat, and I do believe developers will become more interested one all the basic core is complete, and they can see the best way of theming a particular area for example?

Until then though, if we could get the Developer Chats up and running again I think it’d help a lot of people voice an opinion on certain areas, setup the equivalent of WPDEVEL but for bbPress on bbPress.org right from the start. Plus as another thought, maybe some blog posts / forum posts similar to whats done on WordPress.org for people to leave feedback and/or requests!

JJJ, you know my thoughts, I’ve probably left them all over the place but who cares … you’ve got them one way or another! Another ‘key player’ who I’d say was very interested in the bbPress Plugin is Justin Tadlock, and as a Theme Man himself, (I might be wrong) but his thoughts into the whole templates for ‘bbp-twentyten’ or indeed any theme, would be very much appreciated by all?

A few people have expressed concerns about the growing number of template files included with the bbp-twentyten theme. Not counting CSS/JS/Images, we’re up to 32 individual template files to handle forums, topics, replies, loops, forms, users, and pagination. These concerns are totally valid, but mostly unavoidable.

The goal for bbp-twentyten is for it to be as simple to understand as possible without tons of proprietary functions or complex logic to figure out. To do that, we’ve split some of the files into ‘parts’ that focus on specific functionalities. Some of this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now because of lack of documentation, and it uses functions that are new to WordPress as of 3.0, but I’m confident it’s the best way to go.

When I think back to my beginning days of learning WordPress, a lot of what I did was butcher Kubrick and make my own frankentheme. I’m trying to keep that in mind here. Since the first place people naturally make changes is on the front end of their site, this theme should make that really easy to do.

We also have an empty folder for a theme named ‘bbp-default’ which will more than likely be a full-featured theme that flexes a bit more bbPress muscle.

I think when bbPress has more eyes on the code and more developers start integrating forum files into their themes, we’ll see some really neat things start to happen.

I have the plugin (2785) installed on 3.04 and 3.1 RC2. Both installations are Multisite, use Month & Name permalinks, and the bbPress Twenty Ten theme. When I click on a forum name in 3.04 it takes me to my front page, but 3.1 RC2 responds as expected. I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin and theme with the same outcome, but switching permalinks to the default fixed the problem.

[intimez]

Thanks for your work master5o1. Before default font was big and looks much better now. bbpress lacks mobile viewing. Vanilla forum 2.0.16 has this right out of the box and they really got it working good.

My new bbPress forum for discussing Antique Prints

Discuss and Discover Antique Prints

i’ve used a custom skin, very much based on the default kakumei style.

I’ve loved working with this software.

[chiposaur]

i have integrated wp/bb following the instructions. the Guangzhou theme works well enouvh in wp. it SAYS it’s ‘compat with bb 1.0+’ but when i copy the theme over to bb, it makes the site 500. deleting the dir doesn’t force the site to “oops” back to the default theme. i have to change the theme entry in the db back to the default to get the site to behave again.

is this the way wp/bb ‘compatible’ themes actually work? i wouldn’t really expect it to work like that.

[McGeeSteve]

I have made my second attempt at installing bbPRess in the web/content/forum directory – and integrating the databases.

Last time I believe I left the User Table Prefix as ‘bb_’.

The install ‘worked’ but I could not add new topic, reply, etc. with any user.

This time I entered it as ‘wp_’ and I have installation errors –

I can enter new topics (last time I could not – attempting so would give me a page ‘topic closed’) BUT I cannot read the topic.

Also, a ‘user’ named ‘anonymous’ made a post 40 years ago…

What’s going on??

[gadget_boy]

Im new to blogging as well as to making websites. I have a blog hosted on blogger.com of google. I am planning to buy it a domain as i believe i can change the default example.blogspot.com into your own domain name. My question is it is possible to integrate BBpress into blogger?

[Chuck Mac]

I am having issues with permalinks as well in 2743. The forums work if I use the default permalinks (?bbp_forum=x), but if I turn on custom permalinks (/%category%/%postname/) then the forums themselves 404 (forums/forum/x). The page I setup with the list of forums works correctly with permalinks enabled, but none of the links to the forums do.

I have tried turning them on and off multiple times.

Appreciate any other ideas anyone might have.

Recently installed bbpress 1.0.2 and avatar upload 0.8.3

Followed the inst. instruction as follows :

5 Upload the files in the “additional-files” directory to the following locations.

avatars/ – directory to the location specified on the admin page, rename if neccesary

admim page: /avatars/ so I created avatars dir. on bbpress root,writable DONE

avatars/default.png – default avatar image into the directory created above.

DONE

avatar-upload.php – bbPress root directory.

MOVED bb-avatar-upload.php T ROOT DIRECTORY

my-templates/avatar.php – your my-templates/my-template-name/ (or bb-templates/kakumei/) directory.

MOVED TO bb-templates/kakumei/ DONE

Upload the plugin files.

bb-avatar-upload.php – your my-plugins/ directory (and activate it).

DONE

identicon.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).

EXISTS

unsharpmask.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).

EXISTS

---

I dont see the avatar load button on the profile.

I’m confused, is the filename bb-avatar-upload.php or avatar-upload.php ?

What am I doing wrong ? ( a novice admin )

[zaerl]

Modify the file header.php in your theme directory (/bb-templates/kakumei for the default theme, /my-templates/*insert the name here* for other themes)

Regarding forums/forum, that’s gonna be an option. You could remove the root slug (i.e. forums) from all the slugs, once we just add it.

And regarding [edit, sticky, move], I said “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. If you want to test these, just register up on my demo forums, I’ve set the default role as Forum Moderator, so you’d see those links.

Maybe I am getting rusty, but looking at the diff, I don’t see it.

Basically it’s the same thing, shuffled around a bit and the same esc_url and esc_attr is being used at the end, which is the same pattern as the existing 1.0/1.1 code.

Are you sure the fix was not being caused by just having a more updated version of esc_url and esc_attr ?

Or was it just being solved by moving those two sanitizers up higher before bb_safe_redirect could ever be called. Because that was definitely an oversight on someone’s part (not me). Based on the comments I’d guess they thought their functionality was for display filtering and not actually sanitization.

Looking at esc_url though, its default is indeed meant for displaying urls by default, note the comment in the code “Replace ampersands and single quotes only when displaying.” and how the context is set by default to “display”.

Maybe test your solution with a url that contains an ampersand, it probably will not work?

Also, are you relying on the list of protocols to do the sanitization? Because that could be defeated too (and would prevent using relative urls that are legitimate).

ps. very minor but you have confusing indentation indicating nesting with the code at line 18 – which actually is not nested

Feel free to email me directly if that’s better.
