Too bad.

Just so you know, I’m not using WordPress. It’s just bbPress only.

[karamarolt]

Hi – I’d using bbpress within WordPress and would like to password protect some forums or topics, but not all. Is there a way to do this?

It should be in the root of the WordPress install?

[David Wang]

Hi, I’m working on a WordPress + bbPress site – see it in development at http://beta.delectable.com.my/forum/ – and I’d like to know how to display a list of the new members. Just something that says “Newest users in our forum” and a list of the member usernames. I would like to display this in the footer, not on a separate page. Thanks!

[johnhiler]

If you also have a WordPress install that you’re sharing the database with, I think you can use the values in your WordPress config file in your bbPress bb-config.php…

[johnhiler]

Are you setting up a standalone bbPress install, or integrating with WordPress?

Also – who is your webhost… are you on GoDaddy?

[Mark]

https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers

Same concept for bbPress. You could make all those plain text if you like, they’re built that way by default for people who need to translate their sites.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Trick is for bbPress functions, half of them are WordPress functions, just sometimes with bb_ on the front, so they behave essentially the same. A fair few others are just aliases to return data instead of outputting it (i.e. get_forum_link vs. forum_link). Beyond that though, yeah it’s all pretty undocumented, but it’s usually relatively obvious from the name and parameters it takes.

I’d love to be able to help right a bbPress Codex mind you…

[Mark]

get_forum_id()

ie;

<?php if (get_forum_id() == 12): ?>

text block

<?php endif; ?>

A lot of these functions aren’t nearly as well documented as WordPress’ own similar functions, but can all be found inside of bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php

[Mark]

@gouri, bbpress is standalone software that is meant to run by itself, or alongside practically anything you choose. In the case of deep integration, if that’s your plan, yes it will work on either WordPress.org or WordPress µ

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Google? Animated fire gifs have been around longer than bbPress, BuddyPress and WordPress put together…

[chandersbs]

I’m running a forum, which has a sidebar on the left, it was a pain to edit that sidebar, so I tried some including today.

If you want to including a file in to your forum, use this code:

<?php bb_load_template(‘sidebar.php’);?>

Add that sidebar.php or whatever you want to call it in your template folder.

It works similar like the one we are used to using for WordPress:

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.”/sidebar.php”);?>

@gerikg: There’s far more chance that someone has written something like this for WordPress in their plugin database

[Simon Wheatley]

Glad to see what I am saying confirmed with independent realworld proof.

Pleased to be of service.

BTW, just how big is your site that you require multiple db servers?

I don’t know of a single WordPress+bbPress install, other than Automattic’s that are using multiple db servers.

(unless of course you are running other apps that have heavy db use or maybe for backup replication)

It’s more for redundancy than anything else, although before we got opcode caching in and had optimised some plugins involved we were catching traffic surges when our client tweeted new posts that were making us very very glad we had that much capacity.

[Mark]

It’s deep, I can access and use all my WordPress functionality. Afaik using wp-blog-header.php is deprecated for that use, I’ve been calling wp-load.php.

[benbeltran]

Thanks. I’ll keep on trying. I’m not using wordpress though, it’s a 100% custom system integrated with bbpress. I’m sure it’ll turn out to be something stupid from my part.

[Greg]

Hmmm. They say talking to oneself is one of the first signs of insanity…

I just found a year old thread on this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load?replies=7#post-14899

So I have a couple of questions for anyone out there:

1. Aside from the ugliness of a core hack, is there any reason my workaround is a bad idea?

2. Has anyone produced a plugin that implements Beau’s idea in the thread above?

Sounds like there are a lot of people with deep integration, so I find it really strange that this is still a problem in WPMU 2.8.4a / bbPress 1.0.2.

[Greg]

[Opening a new thread with a more descriptive title. The old one was here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-404-error-but-page-displays%5D

I have bbPress 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4a with deep integration. Forum pages load fine in the browser, but they have a 404 status in the header, which causes a googlebot crawl error. If you have deep integration, this might be true for you too. You can use Firebug or http://web-sniffer.net/ to check.

I have posted my understanding of the problem and a workaround on the WPMU forums: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14425?replies=1#post-83354

I think this issue will stop Google (and other search engines) from indexing your forum pages. So if you are using deep integration it might be a good idea to watch for a patch.

Use my little workaround at at your own risk.

[Greg]

Looks like WordPress is setting the 404 because it doesn’t recognize the bbPress page that is loading.

When the global WP object is constructed, the function WP->handle_404 calls “status_header( 404 )”.

As a workaround, I modified “handle_404” to lay off the 404 if “BB_PATH” is defined (i.e. when a bbPress page is loading). This seems to work ok.

Here’s the new “handle_404” at around line 445 in “wp-includes/classes.php”.

function handle_404() {

global $wp_query;



if ( !defined( 'BB_PATH' ) && (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) && !is_404() && !is_search() && ( $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {



// Don't 404 for these queries if they matched an object.

if ( ( is_tag() || is_category() || is_author() ) && $wp_query->get_queried_object() ) {

if ( !is_404() )

status_header( 200 );

return;

}

$wp_query->set_404();

status_header( 404 );

nocache_headers();

} elseif ( !is_404() ) {

status_header( 200 );

}

}

[gerikg]

It’s not too hard but it does take a while. You first have to figure out which profile you want your user to use, wordpress or bbpress.

[johnnydoe]

yeah that’s what i’m doing since 2 days (i allways try things first befor i ask), and this is kinda annoying if you’re in a “productive flow” with your template design.

aaaaanyway i may find this pisser … one day

thanks kawa

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Nooo idea where they are then sorry, try using something like Find in Files with Programmer’s Notepad to search for the line

[johnnydoe]

just the the other way round haha , i need to hide those existing messages completely.
