bbPress/WordPress have a boolean function for pretty much everything

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the plugin is intended for WordPress installs only I’m afraid.

A quick way of doing it:

In your bbPress directory, make a file called javascript.php containing:

<?php



// Taken from index.php

// Load everything up



require('./bb-load.php');



do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}



bb_load_template( 'html_include.php' );



?>

then in your template directory, make a file called html_include.php containing:

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<table id="latest_discussions">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>" title="<?php topic_time(array('format'=>'datetime')); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</table>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

and finally, in the page where you want to load the list, put something like:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>$.get("javascript.php",  { rand: Math.random() }, function(data){ document.getElementById('latest').innerHTML = data; } );</script>

<div id="latest"></div>

Old-fashioned way of loading the HTML in there and use a local copy of jQuery or whatever library you use, but that’s the general idea really.

html_include.php is just a cut down version of front-page.php so you can edit it the same as any other template. javascript.php doesn’t load in stickies, but that’s just how I felt like doing things, it’s a cut down version of index.php so it’s easy enough to put back.

Even more cut down version of html_include.php (so you really do just get a list):

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<ul>

<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<li><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</ul>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

They could surely be worth inspecting, if I only really knew anything about coding.

So, you mean that if I place this piece of php code [1] into any web page I’ll show a list of entries? I tried but it doesn’t seem to work at all.

So, the idea of just swapping wordpress variables with bbpress ones is not enough.

No. I’m afraid it would be beyond my skills.

What bbpress integration plugin are you using? You should be able to integrate 2.8 and 1.0 without any plugins installed in either, just set the bbPress up with the same settings as WordPress under Settings -> WordPress Integration in the bbPress admin.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There’s the latest topics RSS feed at /rss/topics and the WordPress Latest Post plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/, either of those help?

[Olaf Lederer]

I think a sitewide form is easier to integrate using the full code inside the functions.php file (like comment list on wordpress)

[garyditsch]

I had my test bbpress and my wordpress site working well. WP 2.7.1 and bbpress 1.0 I updated my wordpress site this weekend to 2.8 and now the integration doesn’t work.

Not only does the login not work across the site, but when I login to one it logs me out of the other.

I have went through all the steps that I did initially to integrate the sites, but haven’t figured out the change. I’m wondering if it has to do with the bbpress integration plugin?

[annejan]

I installed the latest bbPress version (1.0.2) and integrated in WordPress 2.8.4.

Everything seems working, but only the footer navigation with the “next page” links don’t work.

I think it is a conflict between the htaccess files of bbPress and WordPress.

If I switch Options -MultiViews to Options +MultiViews, the “next pages” work.

But from that moment the topic page redirects to /topic/17475/page/17475 (the latest number isn’t correct).

Anyone a solution? Thanks in advance.

[Greg]

I have BP 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4 with deep integration (I call wp-blog-header.php in ‘bb-config.php’).

All of the forum RSS feeds work, except the top level feed of all new posts across the forum: <site URL>/<forum name>/rss/

This is true for FF, IE and Safari.

In IE, I see the error:

Invalid xml declaration.

Line: 13 Character: 3



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Viewing the source, it looks like WPMU is inserting an XML header above the bbPress XML header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->

<rss version="0.92">

ETC...

Does anyone else have this issue.

I have repo’d something very similar on a previous version of the site that is using WPMU 2.2.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Yeah that looks like WordPress is attempting to handle the RSS as well as bbPress, so it’s definitely a deep integration issue. I’m not sure how to detangle that, but hopefully someone else can or I’ll try and have a look tomorrow.

[Greg]

@kawauso, that line in the error is the source on line 13: “<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>”

I should have looked at the source though. It seems that the xml has two headers. Could this be related to deep integration?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->

<rss version="0.92">

I am not certain, but I imagine you will need to modify the bbpress and WordPress templates to match the BuddyPress theme.

[Arthur]

This method is supported by bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’ve found running SABRE with stealth mode on in WordPress stops 100% of our bot registrations and I just point bbPress at that. If you disable registration with either .htaccess or changing the function, it’ll put a complete stop to any registrations on the bbPress side, so you shouldn’t need any spam protection besides that unless you let unregistered users post. bbPress comes with Askimet installed anyway though.

[PeterVk2]

Setting up a forum for a university discussion course and can’t seem to find where to set up custom registration fields. For instance, I’d much rather have students’ student number and course number than their website and location. Where is the template file to change this? Or do I have to go into the core files? (I have a limited amount of experience with WordPress and none with bbPress.)

Cheers.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I guess you mean you have WordPress.com blog then, as opposed to one on a server? You could try something like what’s being offered here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/free-hosting-for-bbpress

[villazadi]

HI

i dont really have a server where i can upload bbpress, but i have a wordpress blog. is there a possibility to upload bbpress on my blog?

[andyfielder]

So i look through the log and it all seems fine! I have just looked in the config file and edited it a little, so the auth salts matched my WP install.

Can anyone help me. the forum can be found at: http://www.cnc4.co.uk/forum

But keeps redirecting to the installer!!

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

It’s throwing up 301 Moved errors so I’m wondering if it’s messed up your .htaccess file or something. Where did you install bbPress under? Also, what integration plugin? What version of bbPress did you install? By the way… your version of WordPress has a gaping security hole, UPGRADE!

[krepta8]

I just finished installing and integrating a setup of WordPress MU 2.8.4a, BuddyPress 1.0.3, and bbPress 1.0.2. Everything seems to have gone fine, except I cannot seem to access the Plugins page under the bbPress Admin menu. When I click it, it directs me to …/bb-admin/plugins.php which loads only a blank white page. Also, bbPress does not seem to recognize any themes placed in the “my-templates” folder and so I am forced to place them in the core “bb-templates” folder. Because of the plugins.php problem, I cannot tell if it will recognize plugins placed in the “my-plugins” folder, as I cannot access the plugins page to find out.

Does anyone know what could potentially be going on? Any suggestions for fixing it? Thanks in advance.

[gerikg]

ah, good to know!

[Olaf Lederer]

I think you need more since there are sites providing buddypress+wordpress+bbpress

success with your free hosting site

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’ve never quite understood the complaints about cookies and bbPress/WordPress integration… I set up a fresh copy of 1.0.2 locally with no prior knowledge and it worked fine (Windows test server). I FTPed it onto my live server and changed over the addresses and it works fine, apart from an odd quirk to do with bb-admin and where you log in. My cookies hold across either site, and for that matter to a MediaWiki install I have tied in to the same user set.

I quite understand the issue with cross-posting though. I’d fix it myself if I could work out how to initialise bbPress core cleanly inside WordPress, but that’s not possible in 1.0, so for now all you can use is plugins that do it by HTTP. Hopefully that will be integrated into core later on, but including bbPress as a WordPress plugin would be shoehorning something that was designed to be relatively standalone into a different structure and no doubt would over complicate things.

[Olaf Lederer]

Sure step over to SMF if you like to have:

– more spam

– more plugins (to get it working as a forum should work)

I never tried to use bbpress with wordpress, but I’m sure that both are able to work together (based on the same script)
