I don’t know anything about your plugin, but why not put the OR in the PHP, similar to how WordPress checks for pages or posts:

<?php if(is_home() || is_single() || is_page()) {

whatever;

} ?>

Maybe you could put the logic in the PHP? I don’t understand what the plugin does, but the value in the database seems odd to me.

so, for your application:

<?php if ((bb_get_location == front-page) || (bb_get_location == topic-page)) {

give the ID;

} ?>

hey,

i’m having a problem with integrating bbpress into my wordpress template. when you click on ‘add new’ on any forum page the layout looks fine, but when you click on ‘add new’ on the start page, then it messes up the layout. seems there is a stray closing div somewhere, which is only needed sometimes.

have a look here to see what i mean.

actually, if you scroll down i think you can see the same thing happening with the footer here

cheers, b

No problem zapata. To get rid of the register link, you need to download login-form.php from /bb-templates/ and then edit it as follows:

Change this part from:

<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>

to get rid of the register, you could just comment out this line or change the wording:

<! -- <p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p> -->

Once you have edited that file, upload it to a new folder (if it doesn’t exist already in root) /my-templates/ as bbPress will use that file first and if it doesn’t exist, go back to the one in /bb-templates/

As for the registering with WordPress, I was only referring to the abilitity to turn on or off registration in WP admin. If you turn it off, then you can add the members you want through the admin.

That should get you going!

Trent,

Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…

two questions:

(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page

(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress

[Trent Adams]

Since you are integrated with WP (I would assume), removing register.php from bbPress root directory would get rid of that particular issue. People can still register using WordPress or just added as members by you in the WP admin. That would be the easiest way.

Trent

[spencerp]

Yep, and, even though Michael Adams made the newer version of the bbPress Integration plugin. Ryan Boren added two stubs in the 2.1 wp-includes/ folder, holding the same name as the original two.

So, these two calls:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’ );

include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);

In any WordPress or bbPress plugins, you’ll still be safe! Inside those two stubs are:

registration-functions.php file:

<?php

// Deprecated. Use registration.php.

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php');

?>

rss-functions.php file:

<?php

// Deprecated. Use rss.php instead.

require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

?>

Happy 2.1 Upgrading and bbPress Integrating peoples..

Just gotta put in my 2 cents. I know it’s not bbpress, but my son, Noah Darwin, has a wordpress blog … though it’s a bit out of date. And he’s only 15 months old.

The issue will be because the user that you have as an Administrator in WP is not the keymaster in bbPress. What you can do is check out the following:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/462?replies=4#post-2607

There is some good information in there on getting the account that is the admin in WordPress to also be the Keymaster (admin) in bbPress.

Trent

[chrisgross]

I have my wordpress and my bbpress installed and working together fine. The only problem is that I can reach my wordpress admin panel, but not the bbpress one. The deal I think is that there is some info missing from the wp_users table that makes it so bbpress can use it. Could anyone tell me how to fix this without having to re-install the entire thing.

[Trent Adams]

Now that WordPress has released 2.1, just a quick note to all the current users and future users that bbPress integrates fine with WordPress 2.1.

I followed all of these instructions to integrate WP theme into BB. When I attempt to login I get these errors:

spencerp – i would be curious how you got bbpress into your active WordPress theme. i am working to do the same as you, but any help would be appreciated.

thanks

hey trent,

thanks for your reply. i suppose you mean this plugin? it’s the only one i could find with a name close enough to ‘WP translation plugin’.

but what this plugin does is translate the posts for you and i basically only want the forum stuff to be translated, not the topics.

[ateale]

hey guys

i have managed to integrate bbpress into my wordpress install

now I can’t seem to access the bbpress admin page. I get this error:

Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

Any ideas?

[ateale]

doh! i am an idiot!

I’ve gotta learn to read ALL the instructions.

WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash.

Cheers Trent the login seems to work fine now!

Any ideas on the embedding thing? Just a matter of chopping into the my-template files?

Cheers!

[Trent Adams]

I would try the cookie sharing stuff in both bbPress config.php:

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

And then maybe the cookie stuff that you can put in WordPress wp-config.php (can’t remember the format) if the first stuff just doesn’t work out straight away.

If the users are there it is because the integration is working, just the cookies are not sharing. Try that out and let me know.

Trent

[ateale]

hey guys,

i have followed the instructions on the forums/extend for intgegrating bbpress and wordpress.

It all seems to work – bbpress knows about the wordpress users.

Only problem is that i have to login to both wordpress & bbpress seperately – I thought it was supposed to support 1 login for both – using the same cookie or something?

the test site is:

blog.lumanation.com

the forums link at the top takes you to the bbpress install

any help would be greatly appreciated!

also – any ideas on how to embed the bbpress install into wordpress – is it just a matter of hacking up the bbpress templates or is there a more elegant way similar to the wordpress rs-discuss/xdforum plugins?

Cheers!

Adam

Wow! Thanks a lot spencerp. As a visual person, a visual tutorial is priceless.

I am in love with WordPress and bbPress. I was originally thinking of going with phpbb, but man, this bbPress is so sleek, so easy to customize, and has so much potential.

Thanks again,

Orion

Going along with what Trent said, I usually follow Podz’s guide for it:

Is that it? I am actually working with both WordPress and bbPress integrated. There is quite alot of work that needs to be done WP on the database side ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL ) , so I was figuring something similar would need to be done for bbPress. Although, they are sharing a database, not sure if that makes a difference. Any other thoughts?

[dfpradio]

Glad to hear someone else is having the same problem as me… misery loves company, right?!? I have found one thing that may be helpful. When I removed the:

require_once( ‘/…/wp-config.php’);

define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’);

The problem magically vanishes… So, I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the WP integration. Interestingly, I checked my phpinfo and my magic_quotes are all off as well and my php version is 4.4.4.

My forums are at: http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress/forums/

I have a unique problem it seems. I have bbpress 0.75 installed and WP 2.0.5 installed and playing together nicely… except that I get a forward slash in front of apostrophes and quotation marks. I have found that if I take out the require_once( ‘/…/wp-config.php’); and define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’); from the bbpress config.php the problem vanishes. I have been searching all over the forums, but haven’t found anything that seems to match.

My forums are at: http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress/forums

bbPress config.php:

<?php

//This will get all the functions from WordPress into bbPress

//require_once(‘path/to/wp-config.php’)

require_once( ‘/home/users/web/b1442/pow.drinknbud/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php’);

//Set this value in the config file so the functions defined in WordPress are not redefined

define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’);

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘****’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘*****’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// ** WordPress MySQL settings ** //

define(‘USER_BBDB_NAME’, ‘*****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_HOST’, ‘*****’);

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘***’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/wordpress/forums/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘DFP Forums’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘****’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

Of course, used the normal database prefix for each one specifically. It was mentioned though, that for the mw_ ones, you didn’t have to use the “mw_” prefix for when trying to mesh with bbpress/WP.. but, to play it safe, I used the default “mw_” prefix anyway.. Choice is your’s really..

@mozey, nice!! I’ll have to try that out sometime, well, when I get more time. Thanks for tips and pointers!

[Trent Adams]

By default, the bbpress-integration.php plugin that you are using in WordPress brings over the registrations from bbPress and gives them the default role that you have for WordPress. That would mean that if they are given author status then that would be the default role for new members in WordPress. Maybe check that out.

I tested this on my test forum and then changed the default role from subscriber to admin and sure enough the new user that I created came across in WP as an admin.

I’ve done some searching around the forums regarding this issue; haven’t found anything sim. to my problem though – is the error on my side?

I’ve set up wordpress and bbpress on my sandbox apache server and enabled sharing accounts between wordpress and bbpress. When I create a user on the wordpress end, that user gets correct status in bbpress. However, when I register a user through bbpress, it gets far too high privileges on the wordpress side (author)!

I’d like to manually set new users to read-only on the blog side of things.

How can I prevent this?
