Looking for a bbPress expert who could help us tie our blog entries to

appear on the forums via Bbsync and fix a couple of bugs on the

forums.

http://www.feastoffools.net/community

••• Troubleshoot and optimise our forums. Right now Dreamhost is forcing us to upgrade our services because they claim our bbpress forums are taking too much of a server hit. Looking for someone to help us optimize our forums.

••• Upgrade to the latest version of Bbpress. Right now we’re at .9

••• Install BBsync

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

new blog post, this post will be turned into a new topic in your

forums. Replies can be made to the topic. Comments made through the wp

comments form will also be shown as replies to the corresponding

thread. All comments/replies will show up automagically in wordpress,

too.

••• Code Buttons:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

Automatically adds an easy access button toolbar above the post

textarea to allow quick tags in BBcode. This is an enhanced

replacement for the Comment Quicktags plugin. No template editing

required.

Requires the BBcode-Lite plugin (or some other kind of BBcode support).

Some buttons will only appear if the tag is supported (ie. img, center)

••• Upload Image Files / Attachments

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

This may not work with the version of bbpress and wordpress that are

compatible. Right now I’m waiting for bbpress to get to full 1.0 to

upgrade both to WordPress 2.7 and Bbpress 1.0, which my guess will be

in the next 6-8 months, but hopefully sooner.

••• Post Notification

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

If you have a topic in your favorites and there will be a new post to

this topic it sends you an email. Simply upload and it does its job.

•••• Bb Socialize

Add social network links to form/user profiles.

Allows you to set and display your social media profiles in your

public forum profile. As administrator, you can select which sites

will be supported using simple management panel.

••• Search problematic

Also users are complaining about the search function not working well,

is there anyway to troubleshoot this or enhance the search inside the

forums?

frooyo I am certain not trying to discourage you from learning more about how bbPress works and trying to create plugins – however you should be able to find those hooks easily by reading the code. That’s how I learned everything I know about bbPress, I keep the windows search window open and pointed to the bbPress folder and I search for things. Many times the hooks are in the dozen php files in the bbPress root, sometimes you have to dig much deeper into the core files. If you can’t follow the code, you need to reconsider what you are attempting to do.

I have no idea what other plugins you’ve written, modified or ported from WordPress but this is not exactly and easy conversion to start with. You need to understand what can and can’t be cached and it’s very different from WordPress.

When logging in, or out, through WordPress (MU) the following error(s) occur.

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array[...]

and

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/s/a/sandbox/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration/bbpress-integration.php:202)

Also reported on: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/282166

It works fine when login in through bbPress, and then accessing the admin in WPMU (user login integration shared)

Hi guys,

FYI, I’ve updated the code for the BuddyPress bar in bbPress:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1152#post-18510

It uses bbPress’ header and footer hooks, instead of WordPress’.

The BP bar now also works in the bbPress admin area as well!

[frooyo]

I would like to attempt to convert WordPress’ SuperCache plug-in to bbPress.

I’ve never created a plugin before.

Does anyone has any reference docs or pointers on how I would create the hooks needed for SuperCache on bbPress?

[md-bappy]

I’v to integrate wordpress, bbpress and buddypress. I installed bbpress in locally, as instruction found in site “http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/25/integrate-bp-bbpress-wpmu/”. After installing and setting cookie as instruction given, i’m unable to concurrent log-in or log-out. Please someone help me how can i escape from such kind of synchronization problem.

[John James Jacoby]

If it doesn’t exist, go ahead and make one. WordPress and bbPress are designed to look for that file regardless.

[russell-crosswy]

The last post from johnjamesjacoby got the cookies between WordPress MU and bbPress working, but now it seems I can’t logout from either WPMU or bb. I don’t see any error messages upon logging in.

Anything I should look for?

[johnhiler]

Yes, you can integrate your user databases and then cookie integrate.

Two questions:

* Do you want to combine your two user account systems? If so, how will you handle it when two accounts have the same name in each system?

* What version of WordPress are you using?

[michael3185]

Quick answer as I’m here at the moment Andy. Yes, you can have both running at the same time, and integrated to use the same user log-in details as far as I can tell (I just use bbPress stand-alone, having no use for WordPress at the moment).

Have a read through the forum sections; there are tons of questions and answers under ‘integration’.

[andywilliams244]

I’m looking for a solution to my problem, and not sure if this could be it.

At the moment I have my website on WordPress and I’ve been needing a forum board for users. But I’ve had to have it so you have a account with proboards and a seperate account with WordPress for the main website.

I want it so you have one account for both of them. While being able to comment on the boards and contribute on the main website.

will bbPress allow me to do this? If not, what will?

Thanks in advance

I don’t think there was a 404.php template until the 1.0 version. What did you do to create one and how did you expect it to work?

You could always do a custom error page with Apache and .htaccess, but I understand you wanting to create a 404.php template page (like WordPress and bbPress in the 1.0 series.)

Hi all!

I’m upgrading a plugin to use the administration menus, rather than editing within the plugin itself. I have used admin functions before (such as add_action), but for the life of me I can’t figure out why I’m having problems adding it this time around.

Basically, on activation of the following plugin I get a “this plugin has caused a fatal error” (but it is activated), and on deactivation I get “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-plugins/top-posters-code.php:32) in /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232”.

Here is the code

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Show Top Posters (backup)

Plugin URI: http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/bbpress-plugin-show-top-posters

Description:  Readers with the most postes are displayed on your bbpress forum, with their names (linked to their website if they provided one).

*/



add_action('bb_admin-header.php', 'show_top_posters_admin_page_default');

add_action('bb_admin_menu_generator', 'show_top_posters_add_admin_page');



function show_top_posters_add_admin_page() {

bb_admin_add_submenu(__('Show Top Posters'), 'use_keys', 'show_top_posters_admin_page');

}



function show_top_posters_admin_page_default() {

echo "test";

}



function show_top_posters_admin_page() {

echo "test";

}



function show_top_poster_text() {

echo "test";

}



?>

Any suggestions?

[Derek Herman]

I want to list the few tags that each topic has associated with it on the forum.php or front-page.php like how WordPress does with the_tags(), but not have the delete link or tags form. As it is right now I can’t find a function that will just list the topics tags outside of the topics.php, can someone help me please?

The new Freelance Switch bbPress forum is going live in 2 or 3 days and this is literally the last things that I need to do.

[johnhiler]

A few people struggled with that exact problem in this thread… several solutions were mapped out:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-plugin-for-wpmu#post-36870

Here’s to hoping one of them works for you!

ps are you using ck’s or SuperAnne’s plugins to ensure cookie compatibility between bbPress v 0.9 and WordPress v. 2.7?

[flashdeveloper]

I have searched the forum for answers to this, and there are certainly lots of threads on the topic. But no matter what I try, I get an error about the “admin” account already existing, and the install fails.

I recently tried to install bbPress 0.9.0.5 with WordPress MU version 2.7.1 and I keep running into trouble. The bbPress installation, when trying to integrate and share the database, will not allow me to specify the “admin” account as the bbPress key master. It fails saying that this account exists already.

Has anyone run into this? Should I be using a different version of bbPress? Does it matter that I already installed BuddyPress plugin, version 1.0-rc-3 ?

I have seen several tutorials on the bbPress – buddyPress – WPMU combo, but I don’t think they were using the very recent versions that I have. SO if anyone has very current experience, that would be extremely helpful. Or perhaps I just need to use older versions that match the tutorials.

@r-a-y

OK then, you really need to upgrade.

Here’s how I would do it…

1. De-integrate cookies, clear out all cookie settings in bbPress/WordPress including hardcoded ones in configs with the exception of you secret keys (BB_AUTH_KEY and friends)
2. Upgrade to the latest Trunk of bbPress
3. Upgrade to the latest release of the bbPress Integration plugin
4. Clear all relevant cookies in your browser
5. Setup integration in WordPress first, go to the admin panel for the plugin – use the settings it gives you to use in your wp-config.php file
6. Setup integration in bbPress second, if the plugin in WordPress tells you to add a special constant to bb-config.php, do that now too. You’ll need to login to bbPress separately at this stage. Only enter settings into the admin, don’t try to add anything back into your bb-config.php except that one line from the WordPress plugin
7. Now you should be good to go again, clear your browser cookies and try various ways to login and logout

Visit the WordPress Codex and search for information on apply_filters().

You can filter that array with a simple plugin.

After the Update to bbPress Version 1.0-rc-3 my problems are gone. I think everyone should test there used plugins, backup and then test the update. Can’t wait for bbPress 1.

Know what? I got fed up with my hosting service. ;P

I spent the entire morning working on my bbPress implementation, and had an epiphany about ten minutes ago. I asked myself… ‘Why in the name of the seven seas are you using Concentric?’ When I couldn’t come up with a better answer than ‘it’s what I always use’, I whipped out Google, entered the term ‘best wordpress hosting service’, was routed to WordPress’ hosting page, and I just signed up with bluehost.

So… this is now all moot (hopefully). I’m planning on just working on CONTENT after my nameserver updates happen! YAY!!!!!!!

I feel like going on vacation

Since I’ve never developed a plugin for bbPress before …

Does anyone mind pointing me in the direction of where I should begin.

I would like to attempt to port WordPress Super Cache (output cache) plugin to bbPress for non-logged in users.

[leggo-my-eggo]

@Atsutane – I had slightly misunderstood how to use the filters in the Latest Discussion plugin, and I realize I can get closer than I thought with that plugin. However, I don’t think I can get all the way there. The bbld_forum filter seems to be applied to the variables before they have been given values, right? So, you could, as in the example, replace a specific gravatar based on the $user_data variable. But is it possible to get the $forum variable in the same way? What I need is to determine the forum ID within my filter function.

[johnhiler]

Frooyo – I think the WP Super Cache is just being used on top of WordPress MU, which is the core engine for BuddyPress…

[leggo-my-eggo]

Great, thank you. I hope that will solve my problem.
