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.

[aleko]

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?

[Ryan Fitzer]

Gave your theory a test just now. When I opened a new topic, titled it, put some text in and hit “send post”, I found that it did not show up when I clicked on the “Unresolved topics” view. So what ever is in the <select> area to begin with is what dictates the post status.

[Trent Adams]

I have that option as the first in my dropdown list as well, but if you click the button to see all posts that are not resolved, I think you will find that even though that option is first in the list, by default, none of the options are exercised and it should be still unresolved.

Trent

[Ryan Fitzer]

Thanks Trent. I’ll delve into those areas an take care of it. But, on my install, somehow, all posts started have “Not a support question” as the default option in the dropdown (I had to go in and manually change all the threads myself once I realized it). Thanks for the help. I’m sure I’ll be able to change it.

[Trent Adams]

By default, all topics are marked as unresolved unless you have manually set them as ‘not support question’ or ‘resolved’. Do you mean the dropdown list? If that is the case, they are not part of the template system (might change in future), but are listed in:

/bb-includes/template-functions.php/

/bb-includes/functions.php

I think you can find what you are looking for in there, but as I said, topics are unresolved by default.

Trent

[Ryan Fitzer]

I’ve been looking for a way to start off topics as “Not Resolved” by default, with no luck. Went through all the template files looking for the <select> also to no avail. Any ideas how to accomplish this? (Also, searched the forums). Thanks for any help.

will enable features to give moderators forum specific privileges. This plugin will by disable all privileges for the moderator by default and will need to be given explicit privileges for each forum he needs access to.

The admin menu can accessed by keymaster from Admin > User > Forum Moderators

[spudnutsncoffee]

Trent, since I suspected that the permalinks was the issue, I just disabled it. I replace TRUE with FALSE, which is the way it is by default, and my links worked. But dang it, I wanted to try it with pretty links.

I still get 404 errors no matter what link I click in my blog.

Installed fine. Dashboard and all that stuff in place.

Can go to admin. and all the other places, I just cannot get links to work.

I know in my config file I made sure pretty links was enabled but it doesn’t look like it worked

Here is the default first post link

http://totalphysiqueonline.com/bbpress/topic/1?replies=1

Doesn’t look like a pretty link, does it?

[Trent Adams]

Arrariv,

bbpress can moderate posts. By default, the administrator (key master) can moderate posts and if they go into the admin, you can set other members of your forum as moderators.

Trent

[thomasklaiber]

I know the yellow is default color of the FAT Library. But I like it in yellow … think this looks nice.

If you want to change it by yourself:

– Open /bb-includes/js/fat.js

– Go to Line 32 and replace #FFFF33 by #E4F3E1

Now it will be green everywhere.

[so1o]

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#customization-folders

do the default plugin installation routine..

please note that you need site-options plugin and the latest code from the bbpress repository

[ardentfrost]

I thought about that, but there’s two things: 1. post count is another plugin altogether… not too big of a deal, making a function that is commented out by default is easy to do. 2. Post count isn’t a db entry, so to do it I’d have to sort results after I got them (whereas now I do it all with SQL queries).

I do hope to add it in at a later time, I just gotta figure out the best way to do it first

[ardentfrost]

Here’s one I hope you all enjoy.

This plugin and helper files allows you to link to a member list page, which by default displays the username, user title, home page, join date (with some easier-to-read formatting), and I left in some commented out code for post count if you have my post count plugin installed (if not, you might want to delete those lines from memberlist.php).

Additionally, you can click the colum title for Username and Join Date and get the list sorted by that column. Furthermore, if you click the same column again, it sorts it by the column in descending order.

Lastly (and the coolest part in my opinion), admins will see an extra part to the table that will allow you to delete users (as many or few at one time as you want). Users without the ability to delete users will not even be able to see the added cells or submit button.

To see the member list in action, visit http://www.rayd.org/forums/ (the link is at the top). You won’t be able to see the cool admin parts of the table, of course
