Just making sure since you said “trunk”

What theme are you using? Can you link me to your site to see what’s happening? I just checked my installs with bbp-twentyten or using theme compat, and can’t duplicate.

[traveljunkie]

SVN plugin branch. This is a topic for it after all

[John James Jacoby]

Are you using trunk for standalone, or SVN plugin branch for WP plugin?

[traveljunkie]

On the user and view pages the body tag has a class of error404, which kinda messes with the layout on my particular setup. I’m using the latest SVN trunk of BBP and the latest trunk of WP 3.2.

[John James Jacoby]

@moshimuncher – I don’t see any bbPress powered forum content on that site at all.

[John James Jacoby]

@_ck_ – Doubtful. For the small volume of topics per day that come in, I don’t see the point of forking our own forums.

[moshimuncher]

I am trying to integrate the theme found at http://edge.unispheredesign.com/. As you can see, whenever you are on a page, the theme highlights the correct page in the top navigation bar.

Does anyone know why when on any bbpress page, the theme thinks that the user is on the “blog” section? Suggestion on where to begin bug hunting?

[_ck_]

So, before bbpress.org is completely overrun with 2.0 questions, becoming intermixed with the six years worth of standalone knowledgebase (thereby making useful searches impossible) are y’all going to make a sub-forum for it or not?

I just downloaded and installed bbPress 2.0-beta-2.3 so that I may use it’s forum capabilities in BuddyPress (downloaded the latest version today). However after activating the bbPress I can not access my website – I get the message as follows :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_post_type_archive() in /home/bodyw/public_html/healthworks/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 446

Does anyone have the slightest idea of what this may mean ? I have tried deactivating all my other plugins to make sure there is no clash but same result. i am using WordPress 3.1.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Richard

Thanks John. I’d like to help translating to Turkish but Turkish is not on the list. How can I add it to list?

To link to your forum from your wordpress site you have to add a bbPress widget to your sidebar. Pages have nothing to do with bbPress.

I’m against the idea of using wp_register(); since it redirects you to wp-login.php to sign-up instead of using a registration page in the theme. Also, the idea with community sites like bbPress and BuddyPress, is usually to keep members out of the admin area. Promoting them to enter it seems counter intuitive.

Thanks, I missed the part where you mentioned integrating the register/login pages into bbP. Looking forward to more discussion and potential solutions on this.

Would wp_register() not actually display an admin link, since we’d only use it if ( !is_user_logged_in() )?

[Spiralspeaks]

I figured it out.. uploaded another theme, edited and it works.. added some tweaks in the theme functions viola good combination

Remove the bb-config.php file at the root of your site. Chances are it’s getting in the way. Also there’s a meta entry you’ll most likely want to delete. If there’s anything in your wp_options table prefixed with “bb-” go ahead and delete those. Lastly, your bbPress install needs to exist in a folder that the server can access and that WordPress isn’t trying to control. This is typically a “forums” folder somewhere in your public_html folder, depending on your host.

The language files are different, but people are already translating 2.0 over at translate.WordPress.org.

[John James Jacoby]

Probably the place for it to get the most developer discussion is in the Trac. I’ll put it In the 2.1 milestone, since we’re already in beta for 2.0.

@jjj Thanks. I’ll try and find time to support any tickets for including login and register page settings in WP itself.

It does seem that setting up a decent bbPress forum will almost always involve installing other plugins too, and a list of the little issues that can be resolved by these should form part of the final FAQ/documentation.

I’ve found that the plugin Register Plus Redux mentioned earlier lets me change the emailed link and is generally pretty useful.

Given that by default the system is already using /wp-login.php as a login link unless overridden, it’s not exceptionally naff as I first thought for bbPress Login Widget to use that as a default and allow admin to override it.

So who/where do I nudge to get the bbPress Login Widget extended to include an over-ridable Register link when logged out?

[John James Jacoby]

@Paul – once again you’re right on target. Originally bbPress hijacked the WordPress login URL function, which proved problematic as there was no settting to to say WHERE that page lived. Same with the sign-up page. These functions of WordPress are not easily extended, but they can be completely replaced. Sadly, replacing them means recoding a great deal of them, which starts to take a great deal of time on something that does already exist and already has pluggable solutions in the form of WordPress plugins.

[Paul Gregory]

Assuming you’ve already added a blank page with the slug ‘forums’:

Change the page template to “bbPress – Forums (Index)”

OR

Include the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in your page text

Also, go to the Permalinks page if you haven’t recently so everything else works.

There are a number of other things you’re probably going to have to do. I’m working on a checklist.

[yzgulec83]

I have a language file for 1.0.3 version of bbPress. May I use this for 2.0 beta version?

If yes, how can I change language option? I uploaded language file into bbp-languages but yhere is no bb-config.php file for plugin version to modify language settings.

[DuncanCox]

I am using this bbpress from last 6 months still I have not found any plugin regarding this. if You find it then please share with me.

[Paul Gregory]

Yeah, that specific function’s not at all the right one, it seems to be a well-meaning but naive tip on kai920’s part.

But the basic idea of having a Register link within the bbPress Login Widget is sound, and I’m a bit concerned that it seems to be problematic.

There needs to be a good bundled method of having a link to Register that does NOT show up when a user is already logged in, and the Login Widget is the most logical place to put it. (Obviously it’s trivial to add a Register link to a menu or widget area that would be present all the time).

Two naff, but workable, solutions:

1) Add a field in the bbPress Login Widget for the registration page URL, with “/wp-login.php” set as the default. When the Login Widget is displaying the Log In details, display the registration link (if not blank and if registration is enabled). When the Login Widget is displaying the current user details and log out link, don’t show the registration link.

2) Encourage users to install a pair of simple widgets. I don’t know if decent ones exist, but they’d be called something like Logged In Text and Not Logged In Text, which as their names suggest are like Text widgets but only show their contents if is_user_logged_in() condition is true or false. It’s then simple to add a Register link or whatever to a Not Logged In widget, which could be placed above or below the bbPress Login Widget. If I can’t find an existing pair I’ll knock them out myself soon, although I suspect what I’ll end up doing on most sites is conditionally displaying one entire sidebar or another.

—

The reason both are naff is that it seems pretty clear that there should be a function or method that returns the correct (custom) login page, and the absence of it is causing problems.

Is WP completely unaware of custom registration pages? It seems so. There should be somewhere central that the URLs (or page IDs) of custom Register and Login pages etc are set – and that this should be site based rather than theme based, much like you can set the front page and posts page in WP Reading Settings.

Of course, that’s arguably a WP issue not a bbP issue, but bbP as plugin is at liberty to extend WP in useful ways because that’s what plugins do.

From what you’re saying it sounds like this isn’t part of immediate bbP plans.

I don’t know whether I’m missing a setting, or if it’s something you’ve fixed since b2 but: having registered using a bbPress registration page, the email that people get with their password includes a link to /wp-login.php rather than my /log-in page that uses the bbPress login template. Using that leaves people in an inappropriate interface that they are probably not intended to see, and will confuse (and lose) users.

Am I expected to override this myself with a plugin or in my template? That would mean hard-coding page references. It doesn’t seem right.

I think bbP should just bite the bullet and allow users to specify their login and register pages under Settings. And indeed specify the View Profile page etc. It seems to me that bbP really needs to know where the login page is, and searching for a page with either the bbPress Login template or the Login shortcode (the “magic” method) seems prone to error.

All that said, I don’t want to seem too negative – I am liking bbPress 2.0 a lot and thank you (and everyone involved) for your time on it.

I tried changing the physical to something crazy. same problem.

Trying standalone bbpress 1.0.3

thanks for your help

[kai920]

Do you have a /forums physical directory on your server? If so, try renaming it.

Are you trying to install bbPress standalone (1.0.3) or bbPress Plugin (2.0 beta 2)?
