What is the equivalent of <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?> on wordpress template tag for bbpress?

I want to display text when user is logged in and something else if user is not logged in

[TonyVitabile]

Hi folks. I’m pretty new to WordPress — I’ve only been working with it for about a month. And brand new to bbPress–I just installed it last week

I’ve got a theme installed on my WordPress MU site that I like. I want the bbPress pages to look similar. So I’m in the process of editing the bbPress template. Basically I want to use the same style sheet & just change all of the id tags to the ones that are in the stylesheet.

In addition, though, I’d like the two sites to share menus. I’ve got a nice horizontal dropdown menu that came with my theme that I’m using. The menu contains the pages in my WordPress blog.

I’ve duplicated the code for the menu in my bb-press theme’s header.php, but there is no wp_list_pages function in bbPress. Should I just write a function & add it to a functions.php file for my template? I suppose I can steal some of the wordpress code for the function & just modify the variables as necessary.

Does this sound like a good approach, or has someone else done this?

Also, I want the menu in both systems to have links to individual forums. Having a Forums link in the menu is cool, but I want 2 specific forums in other places in the menu structure. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tony

You can use CSS to do this. Simply find the class or id of the tags (view source is the quickest way), probably enclosed in <p> tags, I can’t remember, then edit the style.css file in your theme. Find the class/id and add:

‘text-transform:capitalize;’

More info can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_text_text-transform.asp

I’ve been using phpBB3 up until yesterday when it decided to go crazy for no reason and die. It was a good chance to change to bbPress as I had been considering it for a while. I’m loving the idea of users tagging topics but I can’t seem to find a way to edit tags like you can in WordPress’ control panel. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and people are creating tags with wrong capitalisation so any new tags that have correct capitalisation are automatically converted to the original incorrect form. Are there any plugins out for editing bbPress tags, or any way I can quickly modify them without a plugin?

On BBPress, when a user is not logged in and they click on a link that uses “?re=URL…” they are being sent directly to a 404 Error page. It works when I login to the Admin area, but not any other URL.

For example:

@tiptaptip you forums is smf not bbpress

[Rohan Kapoor]

It is very simple. I will explain to you how to do it. Use 1 WordPress MU site for the database and then integrate each bbpress with cookies and user database integration. It works fine. I’ve done it!

[Rohan Kapoor]

I emailed you

@ipstenu: I know iframes are dangerous but it was the simplest way of getting the job done.

@everyone: thanks for your support!

[andywilliams244]

I’m offering $10 to whoever can get this done for me.

Just send me an email

I did essentially add in the bbpress custom css to my wp theme’s css, too, so that they would really mesh up better, as well.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Log out, flush your cookies, log back in.

Did you mesh bbPress and WordPress?

Hi there – has anyone tried to use the registerd users only plugin with wordpress and bbpress running together? I found that it works great for wordpress but skunks all access to bbpress. Anyone get around this?

Thanks!

I wish the WP-Forum worked on WordPress 2.8 then I would be a happy camper

Simple Press Sucks

BBPress is too young at this point for it to be a permanent solution

Vanilla is too unstable to be a permanent solution

VBulletin is too clunky

Esotalk got abandoned.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WORDPRESS FOR FORUMS…YET

While I haven’t integrated WordPress and bbPress yet, this topic looks helpful:

If you’re concerned about bells and whistles, your best bet might be to stick with version 9.0, since there are many more plugins that are known to be compatible. Right now, trying to use the older plugins on 1.0.1 might get you a lot of honks and farts instead.

[djboddington]

wow thats good! Thanks for this

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m going to put in a standard disclaimer here: iframes are dangerous.

Example: If someone manages to put in malicious code in a bbPress post and you edit it via the admin side using this plugin, it is possible you could bugger your WP install. Now it’s a slim possibility, but iframes are bad, evil and annoying and should be avoided if possible.

Great idea for a plugin, use it responsibly, folks.

[andywilliams244]

I’m not sure how I’d go about that, could somebody post a step by step tutorial? I’ve never dove this far into bbpress before.

Thanks guys, I’d owe you one

[DennisH]

….anyone?

[Ryan Hellyer]

Thanks. I was considering making this exact plugin myself. Glad to see I don’t need to now

[Ryan Hellyer]

If you are going to resort to iframe’ing it then you may as well use some sort of hosted solution.

[Rohan Kapoor]

I guess, but you would assume he would have copied and pasted that in if he followed the plugins directons.

(not recommended) Remove the bbpress header.php and replace it with a symlink to the wordpress header.php

(recommended) Deep Integrate WordPress and bbPress and have bbpress call the wordpress header not the bbpress header.
