chris, i want to be able to insert a first post on certain threads, which i feel need it.
actually, i have a specific idea i want to accomplish, and there are two ways that i can think of implementing it – one that would utilize both wordpress/bbpress – the other would just use bbpress.
chris, could you, or anyone else with extensive wordpress/bbpress knowledge, email me at wldct6[at]yahoo[dot]com so i can describe exactly what i want to do, and help me figure out the best way to do it?
thanks.
OK I did a little spelunking, and a lot of what I need is actually already in my theme, just not appearing where I want it. I guess I need to move it into a <div></div> that appears after the thread info & is some how set to appear on the right of the page.
There are a few things that aren’t in the theme, though, like the RSS feed link. I think the favorites & thread tags form are there, though.
Time to go searching on google. Though if anyone has any pointers on setting this up so it’s at the top right of my page, under my navigation menu, I would appreciate it.
Tony
Thanks, Ipstenu! That works like a charm!
Not exactly a problem except I don’t know how to do this.
WordPress MU is in http:// <my domain>/worship/ folder.
BBPress is in http:// <my domain>/forums/ folder.
I have a page in my WordPress MU site that is called Forums. Right now, it displays a link to http:// <my domain>/forums/. What I would like to have happen is that users get taken to http:// <my domain>/forums/ when they click the link for Forums on the navigator bar.
This sounds like some kind of a redirect to me. Is that how this is done? How do I code it?
Thanks
Tony
It’s gotten weirder.
I noticed on the public, hosted site that removing the lines from wp-config that the bbpress integration plugin told me to add cleared the problem in Firefox. So I tried to do that on my local machine. Now I can’t log into WordPress or BBPress.
I’m confused & have no idea what to do. I can’t do anything with the local website using Firefox, which means I have to do my CSS tweaking on the hosted site. It’s easier & quicker to do it locally & upload a modified CSS file (or other files) to the host when I’m done.
Help! Anybody got any ideas they can share as to how to clear this issue?

I believe wordpress is trying to process the request because you have bbPress nested underneath WordPress which is a less common method of integration.
Try changing that .htaccess to this
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^forums/
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Not quite sure I have that right but give it a go and let’s see.
If it doesn’t work try replacing the forums/ line with this one:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^forums/
Yep, it’s there. Here’s my .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
That file is not there like you think it is:
http://roadtoanimation.com/forums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css
It’s a 404.
But it might be wordpress interfering with the forums directory since WP is in your webroot.
Strange that it would happen with a static file though.
Triple check that you have
/forums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css
via FTP, make absolutely sure it’s there.
If it is indeed there, download your .htaccess file in your top directory (where WP is) and post it here.
Hi Guys..
I have just made a new plugin named Social It. The plugin is inspired from the wonderful plugin SexyBookmarks created by Josh & Norman for WordPress (and is almost the same like that)
It automatically inserts itself below the first post of the topic, but you can insert it anywhere on the forums. It will automatically fetch the appropiate feed link, description, etc.
It supports a variety of short URL sites to shorten links, I will improve this feature in the upcoming releases, like managing the links within the plugin itself, etc.
Please report any bugs you face, or request new features.
Here is the link for the plugin:
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/social-it/
OK, this is weird. Just weird.
I’ve got WordPress MU running on <my domain>/worship/ (I’m building a site for a church). I’ve got BBPress running on <my domain>/forums/. I installed WordPress first then installed BBPress. Went though the BBPress set up & configured it to use the same cookie keys a WordPress. All is well.
I downloaded & installed the bbPress Integration plugin for WordPress. Enabled it. It spit out a bunch (shown below) of stuff it told me to put into my wp-config.php file. Which I did.
/**
* These defines are required for the WordPress - bbPress cookie integration to work correctly
*/
define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'blah blah blah' );
define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.<my domain>' );
define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );
define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );
/**#@-*/
Everything works fine in Safari on my Mac, but when I go to Firefox, WordPress shows me as not logged in. I click on the Login link & I’m brought to the login page. I enter my user name & password, check off Remember Me & hit Log in. And I’m brought back to the login page again, with no error messages.
No matter how many times I try to log in, this keeps happening. And as I said, it doesn’t happen in Safari.
Any ideas?
I’ve been busy this weekend with church related activities & I didn’t get back to this post until now. I’ve also found the answer to my own question about getting the current page’s URI.
I still have a problem to lick in that my WordPress theme came with a horizontal drop down navigation bar that works in WordPress. I included that code in the header.php & the styles from the original stylesheet for the theme, but nothing is dropping down on the bbPress side. The theme uses a JavaScript file to handle the drop-down logic that I’m including on the bbPress side, so I don’t get it. When I look at the WordPress output side by side to the output of my function, it’s identical. So it has to be something in the CSS. I think.
Anyhow, I’m going to mark this resolved. Thanks folks

Googled, searched the forum, it’s hard to create a specific search for something like the above without getting irrelevant results..
Had a dig and couldn’t find the answer….
bbPress 1.0
I’ve noticed throughout the default themes are references to..
role="main"
Firstly, what does this do? .. In some cases removing this from a template file reseults in the file not working.
Secondly, is there an alternative, these lines are causing invalidtions.
It’s not the end of the world, i can live with them, but some info on what they are for would be most helpful, if one of you lovely chaps could help..
As a side question, and this one again isn’t a huge problem, i find tabbing in code in certain files causes T_ error messages, T_SWITCH, T_CASE, depending on where and what i’m editting.. I like to indent the code appropriately when i’m working on it, but as said i simply can’t do this with particular template files..
Any ideas on that one?
I’m using Notepad++ and Notepad2 for editting, same programs i use for modifying WordPress. I’m using the correct encoding, transfer type etc… i’m use to handling code..
I am working on a personal project over at http://noded.org and I was just wondering if there was the possibility of having more control over the topic pages. WordPress allows you to create different templates like category-2.php etc for each category, is there any way to achieve this for topics in bbpress. Guess an if topic 5 use these functions would be the best approach if anyone could help.
@Everyone: Version 2.0 is out!
Hi chrishajer,
Thank you so much for that detailed response. Application neutral is what I am looking for. The /forums idea is a great suggestion and one I will follow. I haven’t started the install yet, I’m trying to get my ducks in order before I start shooting. I’m reading all I can about bbPress integration with WordPress so I do something I’m going to regret later on.
Sincerely,
Amy
Ashfame, if you check the purpose of that plugin, it’s for cookies to work both ways seamlessly; so it’s “native” for database but I don’t think it’s native yet for all cookies.
At your web host, you already installed WordPress. So, if you’re using FTP, download bbPress to your desktop, then unzip it. It will be unzipped into a folder called bbpress. Rename that to forums on your desktop. Now, upload that whole folder to your web host, putting it into the same place where the folders wp-content, wp-includes and wp-admin are right now. If you do a directory listing there, you will have these directories now:
forums
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
Now, go to http://roadtoanimation.com/forums/ and you should see your forum installation. If you’ve already started the installation in another directory, you might need to get rid of some tables in the database.

I keep saying that because I have done it without the plugin. I don’t get the point of using anything else when they support integration natively.
It may say that yes but how slow is wordpress is loading anyways? If you are on a site that already has wordpress installed you may as well load it on the forums just for the benefits that it had.
You could also upgrade to 1.0.1 which is much easier to integrate and install.
Ok. You need to use FPT to go to the location where you have wordpress installed. There you upload the files and rename the folder bbpress to whatever you want to call it.
If you are having trouble with this. Please email me, rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com and I shall help you by installing it for you.
I recently tried the different Bb quote Plugins that exists but neither of them fit my taste in a WYSIWYG environment.
I wanted a plugin with javascript that can multiquote, and quote small parts without reload, and insert to a Wysiwyg environment.
Then I remembered that the “quote-comments” plugin in WordPress works even with TinyMCE,
so I copied it over to bbpress and modified it so it would call the bbpress functions instead of wordpress.
Needed to change some calls to the post_content instead of comments too..
It works fine for me now, but the only problem is that I can’t use the quote link from another page than the form itself. So If Im in a thread with 2 pages, the first page won’t redirect me to the form of the last page.
Somehow I need to make a link with the quote info to get saved (somehow?) and then called into the javascript function.
As im not the best at PhP / javascript maybe some of you here can help me.
I managed so the PHP outputs the necessary info for the javascript to grab. But problem is how to call it from another page with a link to the last page with the form.
1. First I need to make a Php function that outputs a different link if im not on the same page as the form. Alright but how do I send it to the last page and how do I call the javascript from the last page?
I put the files into the my-plugins folder with a folder called quote-comments
Here is the PHP file (It gets outputed below the post) :
quote-comments.php
http://pastebin.com/f6743a79c
2. As you can see the javascript gets called from the Link, so I need to call it in another way when it’s redirected to the last page.
Here is the JS file:
quote-comments.js
http://pastebin.com/f74d57ac5
Mark that the addQuote function ISNT used if you use TinyMCE and I set to use TinyMCE = true in the php file.
As im not so good at php im kind of lost here. But it would be nice to make it all work and clean it up and make a plugin out of it.
