I haven’t heard back, so why not. I am not saying for sure that everything is going to work on this one. Backup your current my-templates/ folder and then test with this one:

Nicki, I’m using another version of this plugin.. I had asked Thomas earlier in the thread, for one that sends one out no matter what, or who’s thread gets replied too.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/313?replies=34#post-1766

So, by default.. his original plugin won’t do that.

Ok the problem is solved by using this function instead of the default profile_menu :

function profile_menu() {

global $bb, $bbdb, $bb_current_user, $user_id, $profile_menu, $self, $profile_page_title, $bb_table_prefix;

$user_id=(isset($user_id)) ? $user_id : $bb_current_user->ID;

$list = "<ul id='profile-menu'>";

$list .= "nt<li" . ( ( $self ) ? '' : ' class="current"' ) . '><a href="' . get_user_profile_link( $user_id ) . '">' . __('Profile') . '</a></li>';

if ( isset( $profile_menu ) ) :

foreach ($profile_menu as $item) {

// 0 = name, 1 = users cap, 2 = others cap, 3 = file

$class = '';

if ( $item[3] == $self ) {

$class = ' class="current"';

$profile_page_title = $item[0];

}

if ( can_access_tab( $item, $bb_current_user->ID, $user_id ) )

if ( file_exists($item[3]) || function_exists($item[3]) )

$list .= "nt<li$class><a href='" . wp_specialchars( get_profile_tab_link($user_id, $item[0]) ) . "'>{$item[0]}</a></li>";

}

endif;

$list .= "n</ul>";

echo $list;

}

Thank you, devils_adv.

[devils_advocate]

wow.

!!!!

something to measure sucess by…!

love it.

[Nicki Faulk]

Thanks, spencerp!

[spencerp]

I love it!! You did an awesome job on the theme/forums there..

/Get’s in line for downloading a copy of it, once she’s going to share it.. LoL!

spencerp

/By the way, your link still stands on my main site: spencerp.net … under one of the links sections.. I haven’t been there in a while though, but will stop in again then.. I promise!

[Nicki Faulk]

Thank you, ardentfrost.

re: version – Whoops! Right you are, my bad.

[ardentfrost]

btw, you’re using memberlist .73c, not .73a

[ardentfrost]

Very nice looking. Glad you’re using a few of my plugins Theming bbpress isn’t so easy yet, but it’s doable and you certainly did a good job.

[Nicki Faulk]

Yeah, I know that once theming ability is added to bbPress, I’ll probably be fixing several things on this theme! LOL

But hey, it’s yet another toy for me to muck up, I mean, play with.

[Trent Adams]

That sounds great! I know so10 has requested (through TRAC) that we have something in the admin to choose themes. Here is what I have been doing for mine!

/my-templates/theme1/

/my-templates/theme2/

/my-templates/theme3/

Then I just have to copy contents of the theme folder I want to use to the root of /my-templates/

It is a pain right now, but really simple when using FTP I guess!

Trent

[Nicki Faulk]

Thank you, Trent.

I just may do that. I’m still working out little kinks here and there (mostly spacing issues), but I’ll definitely share here when I’m finished (or at least satisfied LOL!).

[Nicki Faulk]

I’ve tried to match it up as close as possible to the main site without looking too “off” and feel that I’ve done a pretty good job.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’ve checked on Firefox 2.0 and IE 6.0 but would love to hear from users of other browsers!

Thanks in advance, and a huge thanks to those who’ve posted these plugins, as well as the FAQ and other solutions. Skinning this thing has been a bear, but everything else has been relatively easy as pie.

Ok if my PHP/MySQL knowledge is still good , the plugin must , on the first use , add a new collumn to bb_topics table ( named for example cat_id ) , and a new table titled bb_cats .

On each use of the plugin , it must check if everything is good ( the collumn cat_id , the table bb_cats ) before continuing , and if not , it must display the default structure of the forum .

To perform this last , there must be new template tags which can be ignored if the plugin installation is wrong , so the plugin needs its proper template file …

We know that the goal of BBPress is to be light and fast , so if you code all the things above and use them on a plugin , BBPress will be slower , i think like PunBB …

So my tip is ; don’t use categories , try to remove no useful forums , merge some forums if they are similar , and you’ill have a good order without categories .

Basically I’m working on a plugin for bbpress that will skip wordpress all together ( no offense wordpress )

Frankly I think wordpress is too advanced for the average “myspace” type user / target visitor. And, I want to have a community like system like myspace or livejournal.

So I want to basically add a blog section to bbpress where you can keep a private journal… with privacy options on each blog entry to either Private or Public, and if you select Public it will put it in a Forum as a new topic for people to discuss.

I was hoping to get a few pointers as to what functions to look at to help me achieve this through bbpress or if I should even continue doing this and try to customize wordpress-mu instead to fit the visitor

Heres what I have looked at so far:

1) Add new topic / Write blog

bb-templates/post-form.php

......

<label for=”forum_id”><?php _e(‘Pick a section:’); ?>

<?php forum_dropdown(); ?>

</label>

<!– DIRT_PRIVACY –>

Set the privacy:

<select name=”dirt_privacy” id=”dirt_privacy” tabindex=”6″>

<option value=”public” selected>Public</option>

<option value=”private”>Private</option>

</select>

<small>**Choose ‘Private’ if you want this to be a blog only readable by you</small>

<!– END DIRT_PRIVACY –>

<?php endif; ?>

<p class=”submit”>

<input type=”submit” id=”postformsub” name=”Submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Send Post’); ?> »” tabindex=”4″ />

bb-includes/functions.php -> bb_new_topic();

function bb_new_topic( $title, $forum, $tags = '' ) {

// function bb_new_topic( $title, $forum, $tags, $dirt_privacy = ” ) {

global $bbdb, $bb_cache, $bb_current_user;

$title = apply_filters(‘pre_topic_title’, $title, false);

$forum = (int) $forum;

$now = bb_current_time(‘mysql’);

if ( $forum && $title ) {

// if ($dirt_privacy==’public’){

// ADD AS NORMAL TOPIC HERE (depending on whether ‘adding new topic’ or ‘writting new blog’, determine whether to add as default normal Forum Topic (public) or include in users blog but also as public Blog Forum Topic

$bbdb->query(“INSERT INTO $bbdb->topics

(topic_title, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_last_poster, topic_last_poster_name, topic_start_time, topic_time, forum_id)

VALUES

(‘$title’, $bb_current_user->ID, ‘{$bb_current_user->data->user_login}’, $bb_current_user->ID, ‘{$bb_current_user->data->user_login}’, ‘$now’, ‘$now’, $forum)”);

$topic_id = $bbdb->insert_id;

if ( !empty( $tags ) )

add_topic_tags( $topic_id, $tags );

$bbdb->query(“UPDATE $bbdb->forums SET topics = topics + 1 WHERE forum_id = $forum”);

$bb_cache->flush_many( ‘forum’, $forum_id );

do_action(‘bb_new_topic’, $topic_id);

return $topic_id;

//} elseif ($dirt_privacy == ‘private’) {

// ADD TO DB AS PRIVATE BLOG HERE

//}

} else {

return false;

}

}

Sorry if I’m a bit confusing as I am a bit confused right now

Again, any functions/documentation/help I should look at would be appreciated.

I have successfully setup my site to integrate registrations/logins between wordpress on its own DB and domain (blog.bakedlog.com) and bbpress on its own DB and domain (forum.bakedlog.com).

Files:

WP: wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration.php

BBP: my-plugins/wordpress-integration.php

• I can create a user in wordpress and log into bbpress with it.
• I can create a user in bbpress and log into wordpress with it.(although the default role set for wordpress does not let me write (how do i change this?))

However, I too cannot get cookies to authenticate between the two systems.

I have included the following in bbpress’s config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

I monitored the cookies created on my computer as I logged into each system, and noticed that bbpress was creating the cookie correctly, domain: bakedlog.com, while when I logged into wordpress it would set the domain on the cookie to blog.bakedlog.com.

So the problem is with WordPress..

Looking in WordPress’ wp-settings.php I see:

if ( !defined('USER_COOKIE') )

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

if ( !defined('PASS_COOKIE') )

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

So, in WordPress’ wp-config.php I inserted:

// BBPRESS INTEGRATION

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

Clearing my cookies and logging into WordPress, I see the cookie domain is correct and matches my BBPress’.

But, there is still another problem, the cookies set by BBPress appends an md5 hash based on the site url and table prefix to the cookie’s name (ie: wordpressuser_bf17f59023eb22f…..) while WordPress’ cookie name is only: wordpressuser

I looked around in bb-settings.php and found:

define('BBHASH', $bb->wp_siteurl ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb_table_prefix) );

if ( !isset( $bb->usercookie ) )

$bb->usercookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpressuser_' : 'bb_user_' ) . BBHASH;

if ( !isset( $bb->passcookie ) )

$bb->passcookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpresspass_' : 'bb_pass_' ) . BBHASH;

So, the next step is to define $bb->usercookie and $bb->passcookie in BBPress’ config.php:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

I cleared my cookies and tested it, VOILA! I can log into either section (bbpress or wordpress) and switch to the other without losing authentication!

==========SOLUTION===========

BBPRESS CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

WORDPRESS WP-CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH BBPRESS

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

==========********===========

Thats it I believe, let me know if it works for you or if you see anything I have done that could crash either program.

one question … I take simply …

I have several plugin about layout on my WP posts …

I can for example do this

[video]url-youtube-video[/video] … and I have a video with all the good code …

or …

[name-of-my-link->url-of-my-link] and my link has the good name … The question is … with integration, is it possible, by default, the forum has these possibilities ?

[ardentfrost]

New release of my Member List plugin (version .73a). Changes in this release include better WPMU integration support, user count added to member list page, and pages are now supported (default is 10 users per page).

Get the new release here: http://faq.rayd.org/memberlist/

See it in action here: http://www.rayd.org/forums/mlist

[chrishajer]

Update: admin is receiving notifications of new posts on this topic even though it is not marked as a favorite.

Does admin get a notification of all new posts and threads by default and that’s just how it works? Haven’t tried adding a favorite as a normal user to see how it looks to them.

Thanks.

[Trent Adams]

That is actually the way it is supposed to be with this template and the default template. It can be changed around by changing the code in front-page.php. I moved it inside for my site, but that is the way I believe it is supposed to be.

I’ve installed bbpress with wordpress integration, the database integration works correctly thanks your guide. But… when i try to see my posts i have this error:

(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mhd-01/www.alessandropagano.net/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/gettext.php(307) : eval()’d code on line 1

1 post)

you can try to show this at http://www.alessandropagano.net/blog/forum/

I’ve heard that this could be related with language settings… but my config.php have the default setting (define(‘BBLANG’, ”)

Thanks in advance, i hope to hear you soon!

[Ryan Fitzer]

Thanks for the help Trent.

[Trent Adams]

Ryan, I stand corrected. I have bbpress-post which makes the topics unresolved by default, but any topic created in the forum is marked as mu (not support question). That is not telling you anything new beause you already knew this

I have created an enhancement ticket in TRAC. Thanks for pointing that out.

Trent

[Ryan Fitzer]

Template-Functions.php seemed to be the pertinent one with function topic_resolved( $yes = '', $no = '', $mu = '', $id = 0 ) being the function that controls this. Although I tried to make some small changes, I was not able to affect which option was selected by default. Any ideas?
