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?

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 )

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.

There are broken templates like Register, Forgot Password, Add New post…etc. How do I fix all those?

Look like Zuzkaw version is more cleaner.

It would be nice if bbPress include this forum theme as default instead the crappy one.

Hello,

fel, I have recently installed fresh new wordpress and bbpress on my web site. I am still running into the problem of posts not being created unless default forum is filled in on the options screen. However, I can’t override this by using a different forum number on the write a post page. Any idea what the hangup is there?

Thanks

there are no clues to it. Anyone with the knowledge of html css can replicate it. Regarding the php functions used, check out wha

t the default theme is doing

user settable perhaps?

default: single reply

or link to whole topic as a secondary option.

Yep. I’ve got the integration plugin running on the WordPress side (if it’s the one called “BBPress Admin”). When I click on it in the WordPress admin panel, I get a sub-window that should be the bbpress admin panel. Instead, it’s just showing my blog (which I think it’s picking up as a default.) Thanks for the suggestion though…

Hi, I did an integration between wordpress and bbpress about six months ago. About 2 months ago, I lost the ability to login to my admin screen for bbpress. When I go to my bbpress forum, I’m automatically logged in as the admin and can add/delete posts, edit my profile (it looks like I’m still the keymaster, but I’m not sure), etc. However, I can’t get to my bbpress admin panel. When I click on the “Forum Dashboard” link, it takes me to my wordpress admin panel. When I go to the URL that used to take me to my bbpress admin panel, I get my wordpress blog page (a default page, I believe). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just installed bbPress and I’m trying to create my own theme to match my WP Blog theme.

So I created a new Folder under my-templates called “my-theme” and I copied all the files from the kakumei default theme into my-theme, the expectation being that my-theme would now look the same as kakumei (since it contained the same files), and I could go about tweaking those files to my liking. (I’ve used the same process to tweak the WP Default theme on my blog, and now it looks like this, the very look I intend to create for my bbPress Forum).

Problem is, my-theme does not recognize style.css, so it comes out like this. It simply refuses to apply the styles in my-templates/my-theme/style.css.

I’m assuming the code line ‘<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>” type=”text/css” />’ should hook up with style.css in the my-templates/my-theme folder, just as it does in bb-templates/kakumei.

Why is the stylesheet not being recognized?

Hi zaerl,

Thanks for your reply. The template I’m using, as created by Andrew, does call wp_head(), via get_header(). It also calls wp_footer() via get_footer().

I could also use a substitute hook, like bb_foot, which I saw in the default templates, but this doesn’t actually seem to be called anywhere.

Any ideas?

[Rich Pedley]

It’s fairly easy to do

check the style.css in the included twentyten child theme and you’ll see this:

/**

* Theme Name: bbPress - Twenty Ten

* Theme URI: http://bbpress.org

* Description: Adds bbPress forums to Twenty Ten theme

* Author: The bbPress Community

* Version: 0.1

* Template: twentyten

* Tags: bbpress, black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style

*/

The template denotes another available theme that you are making this the child of. If you include the main style sheet, you don’t need to re-reference everything. eg. @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

So create a new theme directory by including that, and copy all the other files(ie not style.css) from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten (not forgetting to rename the Theme name)

However you might want to copy in the default style, this start’s with:

/* bbPress Style

*/

Then you need to check where the get_header(), get_sidebar() & get_footer() are in your parent theme.

If they are in this order:

get_header();

/* Content */

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

you don’t have to do anything.

However if they are in a different order you may need to adjust, currently they reside in the following files:

page-bbp_form.php

author.php

taxonomy-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_reply.php

single-bbp_forum.php

page-bbp_topics.php

page-bbp_front.php

and I think that is all that’s needed! (untested though)

Weird, thanks 3sixty. I had recently readded the plugin and forgot to reset that. It works fine now. Originally i had set 900 as the character limit but i updated the plugin and it was restored to the default 300.

I am testing the plugin and really like the simplicity of it. This could be an ‘community’ alternative to Buddypress, because I found Buddypress too heavy for high traffic sites.But what I really like from Buddypress are the public profiles and front end account / admin options.

Are there any plans to make public profiles in this new plugin, instead of using the default WP admin area? Something like BBpress has right now for example..

[LPH2005]

Did a little install on a “new” site. WP 3.0.1, BP 1.2.6, child theme with nothing but the style sheet pointing to the default so I could add the styles from the bbpress. Copied the bbpress template files into the child theme.

Now, things worked except they looked awful. Looking at the template code for all the files that started with page (page-bbp_front.php, page-bbp_topics.php, and page-bbp_form.php)

<div id="container">

<div id="content" role="main">

This causes a problem because container is also used by bp-default, therefore any child theme would fail to look good.

Changed html code to:

<div id="bbp-forum-container">

<div id="bbp-forum-content" role="main">

Then added css styles for the new ids within the styles.css for the child theme:

Looks OK. But needs work:

Hope this helps.

by Default I would hope the answer is no, personally I think that it is better served by a plugin.
