Hello,

I want to know the name of the User that is logged in (the name that he is registered, so not viewed on the forum. Most of the time, people change there name to look it better for forum post’s and comments. But i want the real name.)

So not bb_get_current_user_info(‘name’); because then i get the name dat is displayed on the site.

Another thing is: Is there a plugin, or trick to let WordPress and BBPress more cooperate between them? Because, if i know logged in on wordpress, is must do exactly the same thing on bbpress. But i want logged in on wordpress and in the same time logged in in bbpress too. So then i don’t need to login twice on the same website.

Thanks,

Leander

Have a look at bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php you’ll see the functions function get_post_author( $post_id = 0 ) and function post_author_link( $post_id = 0 ).

You’ll need to recreate those in a plugin or in your functions file to use $user->user_login instead of $user->display_name.

Have a look at profile.php in your theme to see how it is generated there. But remember that on post.php you’ll have to pass in the ID of the post to get the username otherwise you’ll be fetching details on the logged in user rather post author.

I hope that helps, good luck.

An easier way would be to take away the ability to allow change of display name. Then it will default to username anyway. Have a look at topic/help-with-basic-command-to-add-new-profile-fields if that’s the avenue you want to take. If you do, don’t forget to set everyones ‘nicename’ back to what their username is.

I realize you (and others) have tried in the past o help with this but circumstances have changed since then which leads to a couple of new problems.

My host installed a brand spanking new quad xeon Linux server to take care of WP customers such as myself. As a result after getting everything moved over I decided to retry the bb-attachment plugin as this is one feature my members really want.

The good noews is that the upload now works great – the files go where they are suppose to http://screencast.com/t/OWRkYzFiM

and they get entered into the database correctly http://screencast.com/t/MzQzMTI0OG

The problems start now on the display and download.

TXT files are no problem as they download just fine.

PDF files display the icon correctly but when downloaded the files are corrupted

Images have two problems.

1. they don’t display as they are suppose to within the post.

2. as with the PDFs the images are also corrupted when downloaded.

Any suggestions of things to try would be greatly appreciated

Oh and the forums URL is http://www.winextra.com/forums/ and you can catch me in the #bbPress IRC channel most times

Thanks in advance

I am trying to integrate MediaWiki user authorization but after hours of searching I can’t find the code for AuthPress.php.

http://spectaclar.org is no longer online. Can someone post the code here or link to a working site? If I can find the code I would love to resurrect this project; that is unless someone has a better way of creating a single sign on setup for WP, bbPress, and MediaWiki.

Hi, I’m trying to list topics from the forum in a WP post. I’m wanting to just show the topics that have the same tags as the particular post that is being viewed.

This is basically a display relevant posts. How can this be done? I’ve tried a bunch of PHP, but I’m not having luck navigating the codex between the two databases. I’ve mucked around alot, but I can’t get beyond the basic display the last 10 posts functionality.

Here’s where I’m at: HELP?

<?php

global $wpdb;

$query=”SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10″;

$results=$wpdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($results as $result) {echo “

The forums look great!!

any chance of releasing at least the page that handles the forum in child-theme?

Yes I know what software they are using (I have used it in the past) What I’m looking for is a simple way to add similar functionality to bbPress. I like the solution proposed by chrishajer but it has flaws.

[inerxia]

I follow all the instructions from here:

http://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/

And get this mesage:

“An invalid configuration file was found at bb-config.php

The installation cannot continue.

Usually this is caused by one of the database connection settings being incorrect. Make sure that the specified user has appropriate permission to access the database.”

I tried with the old bb-config.php and entering the data base info ito the new one and nothing.

Thanks

Hi to all,

I’m wondering to solve my problem but I haven’t find any solution yet. I hope I’ll got it from bbpress support forums.

My problem is

I have mentioned a notice right above the topics. like Micheal’s forums “http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/&#8221;

i.e.

“””””Dev:station is a community-driven forum where developers, beginner and expert alike, can discuss software and website development, share ideas, explore other ideas, compete with other members, and share news and/or tutorials. Dev:station is the place to learn new things everyday.”””””

so when I login into his forums, then this notice goes hide. I want exact like this.

But in case of my forums. when I login to my forums this still remain there.

can anybody tell me what to do?

Note: Micheal is not willing to solve any issue of bbpress.

Regards,

Pagal

I’m struggling with this as well. The difference is I installed a vanilla WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.02 as a test and got the integration working easily. However I have a blog I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to 2.9.2 and from bbPress 1.0 to 1.02 and nothing I do will make it work. I can’t see any particular difference and I’m just about to die of frustration here.

Thanks, great pack! See it working at http://www.jahw.nl/forums/

Is there a way to also get kisses and love icons?

[yoyopop]

tflight – I understand paulhawke is working on his own script, but prior to its release, I am looking to convert those links using the current script, which so far ran successfully for me. So, any feedback on that from anyone who understands it better than I do would be great.

rspowers – try this one https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release

@Arturo:

That’s great! It would be very nice to release it in public Thanks a lot!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Yeah! I just pointed it to be one of those things which need to be fixed.

Just get in touch with me when you release it.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@Arturo

Nice work mate!

Just a glitch in images of pagination.

@wemaflo

You are lucky!

[Arturo]

this is my bbpress installation with the new default theme http://forum.buddypress-it.it what do you think?

thanks for the feedback…

[wemaflo]

Yes, you’re right

I was looking for an existing free option… Seems as if I were really out of luck Thanks for the offer, but I will port the Theme by myself

[Arturo]

hi, what’s the function to have the username with bbpress? post_author() show the name and not the username.

for example, my username is arturo84, but with the post i see Arturo, so i want the function for the username.

thanks for the help.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

licensing?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I just hit the nail, you see

Well if you are looking for free option, then may be you are out of luck but if you are looking fo a paid option, then the sun is under your umbrella

[wemaflo]

@Michael R:

Thanks, but this one is the BuddyPress 1.0 Theme, BuddyPress 1.2.x now oncludes a new default theme: http://testbp.org

@Gautam:

Yes, of course, but I want to run an external forum installation with the same design. BuddyPress has group forums, but there should be an external forum that has nothing to do with group forums.
