This could be handled with javascript and (unfortunately) a page reload.

PHP cannot see the hash because it’s not sent by the browser to the server.

But javascript can see it.

When the page loads, javascript could look at the hash and then see if an object with that id exists on the page. If not, it could do a proper request from the server via a plugin.

per your example:

http://www.domain.org/forum/topic.php?id=5579&page=8#post-56412

pseudo code:

if (window.location.hash

&&    window.location.hash.substring(0,5)=="post-"

&& !document.getElementById(window.location.hash)) {

document.location="?post="+window.location.hash;

}

Then on the server side a plugin would look for the post request and return the proper new url.

A little bit messy but would allow backwards compatibility if there are links out there which cannot be fixed, especially on other sites.

WordPress has the same problem with post and comment pagination as the pages constantly move. It’s a poor design.

Hi,

In the forums page, I want to create a map and if user click on a particular region, then it should lead into the forums for that region. Let’s say I have four different regions.

I know this is a wild dream. Can I even setup something like this using bbpress and wordpress combination?

Thanks

[circuit]

a-ha.

When the WordPress ‘bbPress Integration’ plugin is upgraded it wipes all the options from the plugin.

Will resolve and leave open in case anyone else gets this problem.

Sorry, does anybody knows here how to settle such a problem. No pictures could be seen in my bbPress forum and the basic theme can not be changed, because no other theme works properly. For example, the is definitely a file on the server http://www.free-russia.net/bbpress/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png but .htaccess file of WordPress redirects to the 404 error page.

The .htaccess file is this one:

The blog is here: http://free-russia.net and the forum is here: http://free-russia.net/bbpress.

Could anybody say what should be added or changed to make the forum work properly?

[r-a-y]

Not bad!

[bluesteel1]

I have an example of the pagelines iblog3 theme integrated with bbpress. Before I did this I was looking for some examples but couldn’t find any with wordpress and bbpress.

Hi,

I have bbPress and wordpress installed locally on my machine. Now, I want to move both of them from localhost to the live server. Can anyone please explain?

Thanks!

[gerikg]

on your bbP Dashboard make sure SETTINGS->WORDPRESS INTEGRATION-> User database table prefix is filled out.

[ppmujica]

Hi Chris, thanks for replying. I found the problem! It seems firefox had cached the “not found” page while i was having permission issues (750 instead of 755 or something), and instead of bringing the correct files, it was fetching the (bad) ones from the cache. Why it worked for jpg or gif files correctly is beyond me, but now everything seems to be working!!!

Weeeeeee!!!

THANKS!

[gerikg]

Nothing step by step because all themes aren’t created the same.

The idea is to imitate the header.php, footer.php, and the content goes into something similar to page.php

[John78_98]

Thanks dude! Do you know if I can find step by step instructions anywhere? I want to do something like this site. All pages in wordpress except one page in bbpress.

I am planning to use this theme if that makes any difference:

http://freewpthemes.name/natural-health-free-wordpress-theme/

[chrishajer]

Is it related to this at all?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/intermittent-page-not-found-on-valid-uls#post-67963

Can you check the response headers for a page that comes up to see if it’s actually 404 instead of 200, even though it displays? Or post the link to your forum so someone can check it out.

[kevinjohngallagher]

bbPress has 3 things going for it:

1) It can integrated a single signon with a wordpress install

2) It’s very easy to ‘theme’

3) It’s totally open source and easy to code for

If you like these, then bbPress is for you. If these things are not enough (and for most people they’re not) then bbpress is not for you.

It’s also wrong to say that bbPress is missing alot of functionality. that’s purely down to your perception of what YOU think a forum should have. bbpress documentation is shockingly thin on the ground, so if it doesn’t do what it claims to do – tell us But don’t judge it because it doesn’t do something it doesn’t claim to – you’ll never find the software that fits your needs that way.

[ppmujica]

I have a similar question. I’m finding that the translations to my language (spanish) are quite poor, and it seems most of the plugins are pre-version 1, so I’m missing a lot of functionality (like user avatar, which should be there from the start!!!).

So I wonder, besides sharing users (which is not a big benefit for my implementation), is there any other reason why bbpress + wordpress is a better option than any forum software + wordpress???

Hello,

I have a website with WordPress as the mainsite and vBulletin as a forum. After doing lots of research on bbPress, I quickly understood that bbPress is far superior for my needs and would fit extremly well

I do however have one problem, and that is that I have lots of users and posts that I can’t loose. I’d like to transfer my users login info as well as all the posts and threads.

Are there any scripts for converting a vBulletin database to a bbPress database?

Thanks for all help.

[gerikg]

bbpress is a standalone forum it doesn’t really go into wordpress. A lot of people create a theme that looks like the wordpress one, like this site.

Home, Plugins, About, Docs, Blog, and Download is WP

Forums is bbPress

I help out people with that stuff: wpbbpthemes.org

[gerikg]

if you have access to the database delete all tables that start with bb_

[John78_98]

Hi, I am a Newbie. I have downloaded and installed WordPress and bbPress locally. I used the same database for wordpress and bbpress. I was able to open both of them at the following locations.

http://localhost/ (wordpress)

http://localhost/bbpress/ (bbpress)

Now, how can open bbpress forums on the wordpress site? I am trying to create a website where one of the pages contains forums.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

[justkeepblogging]

I started another thread for this problem I’m having, though it’s an extension of the other.

I installed bbpress and it worked fine. I wanted to change the URL and started deleting and re-installing bbpress, not realizing I was leaving behind SQL tables, as zaerl told me.

Now I want to delete bbpress and reinstall as it was a fresh install. How can I do this?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi all,

I have a wordpress website, let’s say its http://www.mysite.com. WordPress is installed in the website root, so that when you navigate to http://www.mysite.com, you get the wordpress blog. I recently installed bbpress at http://www.mysite.com/bbpress.

One of the first plugins I installed is BB Wysiwyg editor, but it fails to work properly. After some debugging, I found the following:

[gif]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.gif is correctly displayed on my browser.

[jpg]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.jpg is correctly displayed on my browser.

[css]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.css causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[js]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.js causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[txt]

Just for kicks, I created a new file called test.txt under that same folder, and it is also displayed correctly.

Needless to say, all of the above files are physically there, I can clearly see them on my ftp client. So, something is going on with certain file types. It seems like wordpress allows some files to be correctly returned to the browser, while others are banned or something like that.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Are there any config options that could solve this issue? I’ve been googling for quite a while without finding a solution.

Thanks!

[pagal]

@ kevinjohngallagher and ashfame thanks for your interest..

but I don’t know how to hardcoding html..

can you please explain … thnks

p.s I’ve also integrate both wp and bbpress

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

yes hardcoding html would be your best bet

[kevinjohngallagher]

Why don’t you just hardcode the HTML and point it towards the form handler that you want to process it?

Dynamically getting wordpress and bbPress to play nice together via deep integration can be a bit of a pain especially if you try and make one do the work of the other.

Hi,

I am using geshi library in wordpress for syntax highlighting. This is implemented using a plugin (code colorer).

Geshi library is also used on my bbpress forum (bbpress is not integrated with wp).

I am using sql query to show latest bbpress posts on wp homepage. The issue is that I have to include bb-load.php to run the query, which causes the error that geshi is already included (since wp included it in header).

How to resolve this issue?

One option is to use wp conditionals so that geshi is not loaded when its is_home()

Another way is to use RSS parsing instead of db query to show the forum posts on wp home.

For some reason, I don’t want to use either of them at this time.

So, how can I “unload” geshi.php from wp/bbp on my wp home?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
