There’s no such thing as bb_print_scripts. bbPress is partially integrated with WordPress functions (BackPress), so in bbPress it remains wp_print_scripts.

Hi There,

I adapted this plugin to bbPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-cornr/

You can load it here: http://www.xtc-modified.org/page-cornr.zip

Works great so far. The only thing that doesn’t work ist that the peel-effect only starts on a topic-page, but not on the front-page!

Any ideas?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

@johnnydoe: In your theme’s register.php, before the line if ( is_array($profile_info_keys) ) : (above the <?php tag before that), put:

<?php unset( $profile_info_keys['user_url'], $profile_info_keys['from'], $profile_info_keys['occ'], $profile_info_keys['interest'] ); ?>

That will take out the extra fields in the register form. What you did was take out the part that outputs all the form fields

I can’t see the “to participate” part either, did you manage to get hold of the bbPress.org template?

I’m working on the design for a web-site (e-zine) that will be use bbPress as it’s forum software somewhere later in time when we have enough members to warrant one. We will be having circular sticker-like buttons on the main page leading to the WordPress blog, Facebook fan-page, Twitter account and the bbPress forums. Is there anyway I can get an official vector that I’ll be licensed to use to design the sticker?

I can illustrate my own but I’m not completely sure whether that would be violating any of Automattic’s rights.

hi fellows,

iam running this blog http://www.embtrans.com , my hosting is running on Windows IIS and it doesnt allow mod_rewrite functionality.

i have managed to configure the pretty permalinks for WordPress using custom 404. here is its code

<?php

$qs = $_SERVER;

$_SERVER = substr($qs, strpos($qs, ‘:80’)+3);

$_SERVER = $_SERVER;

include(‘index.php’);

?>

i would like to know if there is some custom 404 code for bbpress on Windows IIS to make pretty permalinks work.

thanks in advance

I’m having trouble trying to work out in my wordpress homepage post, how to stop the comment button click to redirect to my bbpress forum, which I have just recently set up.

This is my website: http://fitness-passion.com

I do not want any redirects, but rather have the comment to stay at the original post in wordpress.

Please tell me how can I fix this problem. Thanks!

[Mark]

It’s already done, and has been for quite awhile actually.

Where exactly is this:

i’d like to remove the “To participate, register or login with your WordPress.org username:” part completely, but i had though luck to find this little php snippet in my template.

I don’t see that on my site. I’m using 1.0.1

[johnnydoe]

ah, just before i start to spam this forum with a another question:

i really have to change the register page, and i need only two form items in register.php, and those two are: “email” and “username” without the rest.

so now i’ve found a php snippet** (it took me btw 2 hours to figure out what they do) ANYWAY… to cut a long story short i’ve tried to remove the php tag but as expected a blank page after that.

phewww …. pure hardcore guys!

** `<?php if ( is_array($profile_info_keys) ) : foreach ( $profile_info_keys as $key => $label ) : ?>

<tr<?php if ( $label[0] ) { echo ‘ class=”required”‘; $label[1] .= ‘^*’; } ?>>`

[fifthhouse]

It would be wonderful if bbpress and wordpress themes were fully integrated so I can have bbforums as a menu item in my wordpress site and the forums opens right in my wordpress site with theme and menus and blog categories fully intact.

Is this on the plate at all?

[johnnydoe]

hi,

i’d like to remove the “To participate, register or login with your WordPress.org username:” part completely, but i had though luck to find this little php snippet in my template.

in the core files maybe somewhere?

[fifthhouse]

Hello all. I am starting a new wordpress site with bbpress installed in a subdirectory. I am not very tech savy and don’t know how to do code, but I am wondering how difficult it would be to have my bbpress forums inside my wordpress blog theme.

In other words, is it possible to have the same look and menu structure from my blog appear when in the forums?

From what I can find in the forums this is called deep integration. I have viewed the posts on that, but I am wondering if there is any further development that would help me, because I don’t have the ability to do the tasks as they are presented in those posts.

What is with the blank page??!!@#$%??? Whenever the bb-config.php file is created (with the correct db name/user/pw), the installation crashes. After successfully installing numerous wordPress blogs, phpBB bulletin boards – all on the same server with the same settings – this is the ONLY installation that has given me such a problem on the install.

[George Hahn]

1. Created the database;

2. Uploaded the bbPress files to the destination directory;

3. Went to my forum URL and got the appropriate install screen;

4. Proceeded to Step 1, where I entered the pertinent info (Database name, Database user, Database password);

5. Upon entering the requisite info, I hit ‘Save database configuration file’ button;

6. The next screen tells me “Your settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php You can now continue to the next step.” I click ‘Go to Step 2’;

7. Blank white screen (http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php).

Note: I have tried starting from scratch I have installed a new database, then re-uploading the bbPress files, creating the ‘bb-config.php’ file manually from the sample version, then uploading it via FTP. When I do it this way, I get the blank white screen immediately, without getting any introductory/installation pages.

I have installed many wordpress blogs on the same server on various domains with absolutely no problem.

WordPress itself just underwent a pretty serious security attack:

http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/wordpress-under-attack-upgrade-now-or-forever-live-in-fear-005489.php

Since bbPress 1.0 shares a lot of code with WordPress (through BackPress), it may or may not be vulnerable… hopefully Sam can weigh in definitively on this one!

[Fantastic Leman]

Thank you very much for your comment, Olaf.

Just to be precise, I am happy to host any other PHP scripts as well (even competitors like phpBB and SMF), so I can also do buddypress & wordpress.

It’s just that I love bbPress best, and am emphasizing it more than other PHP systems. bbPress is really miraculously beautiful.

Hi,

I have an existing phpbb2 forum and was hoping to migrate the existing data into bbPress, followed by integration to WordPress MU. Here’s the steps i’ve done so far:

1. installed a fresh copy of bbPress 1.0.2

2. downloaded phpbb2bbpress converter from http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/

3. ammended the necessary stuff inside the file and ran the script

4. installed WordPress MU

I was comparing the bb_ and wp_ tables and would like to know:

1. can i simply insert into wp_usermeta, (user_id, meta_key, meta_value) from bb_usermeta table where the meta_key = bb_capabilities because it looks safer than just replacing wp_usermeta with bb_usermeta due to the existing entries in wp_usermeta which i’m unsure of their usage?

2. it also seems that i should insert all the necessary values from bb_users table to wp_users table because wp_users has more columns

are there anything else database-wise i need to do?

After the above i know i need to install a bbpress-integration.php into WordPress MU and do some settings on both bbPress and WordPress MU settings/configs. Are there any other steps i’m missing out?

I would really appreciate any help on this

There we go. Working sync plugin afaik.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

As delayedinsanity said, check your SQL server settings, namely by looking at the wp-config.php for WordPress and checking the database, username and password match. If you have a WordPress page named ‘forums’ and a directory called ‘forums’ that contains your bbPress forum, WP’s .htaccess is set up to display the directory instead of the WP page. To make them look the same, you need to either use deep integration or modify your bbPress theme to look like WP’s.

[blakes77]

I have a WordPress blog I am trying to put a bbpress forum into. The install instructions are opaque to say the least, it may be simple, fast and elegant but I am very confused as where to put the files when working with WordPress. I had a forums page set up as a WordPress page, if I put bbpress into that directory all I get is a list of files and not my WordPress page. When I get to the installer it then does not recognise the Database Name, User and Password. The instructions are written with prior knowledge but not tested on the range of possible users. Any help would be great. Thanks.

[Mark]

It works great if you’re running your forums as a sub-directory of your WP install, but it breaks as is if you’re trying to run your forums under a sub-domain.

Anybody who happens to know a work-around, feel free to check out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-in-a-subdomain-on-a-wpmu-install

[batrachoid]

That last plugin hasn’t been updated since January and is only compatible up to wordpress 2.7. It only adds a default role to bbpress, but if you’ve matched your wordpress and bbpress roles, this isn’t necessary, if it ever was.

A plugin should not be necessary in order for someone to register on a wordpress blog or on bbpress. Under the Settings/General you have a place to set the default role for new members; Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, or Contributor for wordpress and those roles can be matched up to bbpress roles under Settings/WordPress Integration.

aMember.com mentions wordpress integration but not bbpress on their site, so I think that might be the issue.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’m afraid options-wordpress.php is just the bbPress/WordPress options page and a bit of code. bbPress functions are under the includes directories.

[annejan]

I installed bbPress in the root of my website and WordPress is installed in the directory “/w”. Because I use WordPress functions in my bbPress theme I call the wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php with the following code:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/home/forum/test/html/w/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy"); }

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
