Can someone tell me how I would know what the “intended URL of the bbPress site” is? Is that the same as the URL of my website? Is it my WP-Admin login? I am confused.

I went through the fresh install of WP 3.0 and bbPress 1.0 and the log in works as intended. Maybe you missed a step?

Hi there,

What I’m looking for is to have a simple forum integrated with my WP installation. It seems like bbPress is the perfect choice but now I’m not so sure.

I’ve just this week came across and installed bbPress. I have nothing live yet, as I’m still working on a template but now as of yesterday I’ve heard of buddypress… and now I’m confused. It seems like the two products are made by the same people, are intended for similar purposes, but some people have both installed. On top of that it seems like support for bbPress is waning.

I’m not sure how much of the above is true, but that’s the impression I’ve been getting over the last couple days. So can anyone shed light on the situation for me?

Regards,

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hello folks,

I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of an ACTION that occurs on the following pages so that I can hook my plugin into them without hacking the core:

bb-edit.php

I have a plugin that needs to be fired when someone edits a post.

Forum layout update

In the backend we do it all through AJAX (how wonderful), except we call the following page bb-admin/admin-ajax.php and the following sections (via a switch statement): add-forums and order-forums.

Except, no actions there to call either. And yes, to the best of my ability, I’ve stuck with the code the whole way through all the functions they call. I’ve yet to find a pluggable one.

===============================================================================

I realise that my phrasing is sometimes considered combative, and I apologise for that, but are we seriously suggesting that at no point is the ability to add/edit/control/order our forum pluggable in anyway; and the same for the editing of a forum post??

I’m more than happy to be wrong here, because right now I’m having one of those “bbPress moments” where you’re not quite sure if you’re losing your marbles or if whoever decided to make these not pluggable is.

Thanks for the help

Very latest version of WordPress and BBpress.

I did not solve the problem, but I did do a work around. I just made an if statement to check if the user is logged in. If they are, display that link. If they aren’t display the same link, but instead take them to the register page. I added a login form to the registration page as well if loginform=on in the address.

So not really sure what else I could do as I have been searching for this one for a few days!

[mr_pelle]

woah, did anyone else get a weird error there telling us to “blame matt” ??

The 503 error? Quite a few times, but it’s just temporary, like the 404 error when you try do download a plugin or bbPress release.

You are running IIS and you don’t have a rewrite filter. Go the the admin panel:

http://touchrugbyportugal.com/bbpress/bb-admin/options-permalinks.php

and choose “none”.

Hey,

I’ve created a forum, some topics and some posts but when I click on anything in the forum it just goes to a “page not found”.

Heres the site

http://touchrugbyportugal.com/bbpress/

In fact most links go to that error page.

What have I not done?

Yah unfortunately it’s not a plugin… so you can’t easily turn it off. You can just rip references to favorites out of your themes:

Hi Gideons,

Mate, with respect, these aren’t really bbPress issues, it’s an issue with an independant theme given away some 2-3 months ago.

It sounds to me like a basic web design CSS issue, thats outwith teh scope of this board, but if you’re still struggling, please contact the theme author at: http://www.jasonmorehouse.com/bbpress-vanilla-theme

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Gideons,

I suggest you talk to the author directly at http://www.jasonmorehouse.com/bbpress-vanilla-theme

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Matt,

What version of bbPress are you using, what version of WordPress, are you definately 100% not using WPMU or BuddyPress, and are you using default themese ?

Thanks

[mattyhockey]

I’m having this same problem.

This is an integrated BBpress w/ WordPress blog. When you click the “add new” link without being logged in, you are taken to a 403 error message page.

If you are logged in, you’re taken to the correct page.

What could be causing this?

I have been searching now for a few days…

@kevinjohngallagher

Any help making one? I don’t understand the loop in bbPress very well.

Thanks

[Rartemass]

Thank you for clearing that up.

[chrishajer]

Yes, you can install it at mydomain.com/forum, beside your blog, and you can integrate them.

[btko]

I like it — I look forward to trying it out.

[Rartemass]

I’ve started creating a blog with WordPress and it is working fine.

I now what to add in a forum (on a different page) that uses the WordPress login IDs.

I have found stuff to integrate the two but I have a question about installation directories.

WordPress is installed in mydomain/blog

Do I install bbPress there?

I wanted the forum page to be mydomain/forum

If I install to a directory with that name, can I still integrate with WordPress?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find specif details on the forum, FAQ, or installation instructions.

[chrishajer]

It might be different but it doesn’t matter. It’s just taking advantage of leaving the closing php tag off.

@kevinjohngallagher you will never know the name of the architect! buhhaha (I don’t know either) They might be reading this.

So I have 1.1-alpha

I briefly had 1.03Trunk.

My question is will 1.1 have all 1.03 fixes.

for example bb-config-sample.php of 1.1 is the same as 1.02 but trunk is different (https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1282)

[chrishajer]

The only one I know of with answers to your questions is Matt Mullenweg. I don’t know if he’s put anyone in charge, but ultimately the responsibility is his.

[gerikg]

If you want it like this site…. An easy way to do it is…

the front page of the default theme is broken into two parts.

If you open front-page.php serach for these div codes, everything on the left is between “id=”hottags” role=”main””

Everything on the right is between “div id=”discussions”” JUst move what you want in them.

All you have to do is adjust the width/margin of both css styles.

style.css (line 285) #front-page #hottags for the left side change the width

style.css (line 293) #front-page #discussions change margin left to be 20px more than what you pick for the left column width and the width to fit.

(Why doesn’t this site have a demo on bbpress! I hate changing my theme back to default to answer questions!)

[gideons]

Update:

I have selected another theme terrafirmtwo by bbterminal.net

this one has a sidebar! (it actually ahs a sidebar.php file)

but in the sidebar it only shows: Tags

While I want to show:

frontpage

Forum List

Search Box

Hot Tags

RSS

Views

forum

Search Box

Info

Tags

RSS

any help appreciated I can upload the sidebar.php file if needed

[gideons]

I guess I just figured out something important thanks to another question kevinjohngallagher answered. Kakumai does not have a sidebar!

I did not realize, stupid me!

Anyway, I guess I am then looking to add a sidebar with the functions above or find another nice and simple theme, like bborg?

Gideon

[gideons]

Either way

If the theme from BBpress/Forums

is available great that woudl give me 85% of what I need

otherwise the code and an explanation where to stick it, I guess

although I am not a coder

thanks
