A cross between my “Ficional” WP theme and _ck_’s Hybrid theme though in many ways mixed up a bit. I al always making a few tweaks and it doesn’t look exactly the way I like. Would love to clean up some of the smaller things up but hitting some snags. Either way it is finished enough beyond the little things that I am proud to show it off a bit:

I was going to hide it behind tags:

<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

What I wanted to do was to replace the standard:

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

With other things including links for the “Your Profile”, “Edit (your) Profile”, PM Inbox, Memberslist, “Logout” etc.

Basically I am trying tp bypass the profile_menu() non-global status along the lines of this thread that I wasn’t able to work:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile_menu-doesnt-work-on-all-pages

I was trying to force the URL and trying to force such a global profile menu using:

<?php echo bb_option('uri'); ?>/profile/<?php echo bb_get_current_user_info( ' name ' ); ?>

But that is pretty ghetto and as you can see it outputs the display name not the username so thus can’t be used for getting a link to the user’s profile…

TinyMCE can work in just about any forum so there should be no reason it wouldn’t work.

As for videoquicktags do you mean like bbcode? It can be done fairly simply I believe but I am not good enough at PHP to deconstruct the bbcode-lite script to make it for you since that script is so heavily optomized.

Edit:

Take a look at HTML purifier. It allows your user to use HTML but strips anything bad. That way you can use the regular YouTube embeds or whatever you like w/o need of a bbcode plugin.

Hi,

Im looking for a experienced php programmer and designer. Ik have build the WordPress site on my own but i would like that somewone looks at it and can make improvements. I am also considering to port my theme to another and fully integrate my bbPress forum.

Reward is dependent on the how much time it is needed.

Requirements:

* Very good knowledge of WordPress

*Someone can give advice rather than just implements

Thanks in advance

Hello.

Trying to get the extended user (profile) fields running. This was easy, the solution was relatively easy to find on the forums. But, .. always a but you know. My problem is to display this user information in the forum posts, how can I solve this? I would like to display this info below the gravatars.

(display only one userfield, not all of them. eg. would like to display a field called ‘distro’)

Relatively unexperienced with both WP and bbPress.

Thank you

The big advantage of bbpress is the easy integration in wordpress. There are much better standalones on the web. For example SMF with which I am currently working.

The thing is that I am looking for a forum which I can easy integrate in buddypress without a bridge. I found it with bbpress. Unfortunately bbpress doesn’t offer a wysiwyg-toolbar and it doesn’t offer many of the features which are standard in other forums.

So in my opinion developers should include a wysiwyg-standard toolbar as it is already standard in wordpress and other features for images and videos.

[Jiyong]

BBpress is a very good forum, but the support in franch (the example for me) is nonexistent. So it’s a problem for the BBPress development in the world. Another problem, lack of consistent WordPress plugin -> bbpress (example : Avatar )

I like bbpress, I hope everything will change for the better …

[bblover]

Hurrah……. I got it

Dear Sir johnhiler….. After conversation with you i was damn researching on this issue to solve this problem over the internet with your telling points. So after watching the video” http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress” I integrated my one bbpress ( Suppose bbpress01 ) to lonely wordpress. so my first “bbpress01” had been successful integrate with one wordpress and all cookies and users was set. so next i want to merge my other 24 bbpress install into this successful integration.

so my next working was;

i copy paste my bbpress01 rename it to bbpress02. then i went to the bb-config.php of bbpress02 and add these stuff in it:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb2_’;

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Note: database of all 25 bbpress and 1 wordpress was same just changing in tables prefix like bb1_, bb2_ bb3_ to bb25 and add just custom user table code.

you can i also view the screenshot of work here is it.

for wp-config.php: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8249/wpconfig.jpg

for bbpress01 bb-config.php: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6034/bb1su.jpg

for bbpress 02 bb-config.php: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2746/bb2xa.jpg

so here i was successful which i want.

1. share users

2. shared database

3. cookies integration

but “One” thing is still remain

if a user “john” login to my bbpress01. he should also show login status on my other 24 forums.

I think you can understand it. now i need cookies integration for other 24 bbpress.

cookies integration just was set b/w bbpress01 and wordpress. how can we set cookies for all my other remaining 24 forums.

I’ll be great thankful to you if you try to solve my final step and give me the smart solution.

waiting for your reply with great curiosity

[chrishajer]

If you have access to the database and a tool like phpMyAdmin, you can reset the hashed password to the hash of a password you know, then log in with that password. Do you have phpMyAdmin and access to the database? Also, what version of bbPress are you talking about?

Check your spam folder for the email.

Also, if you create a new user, do you receive the password for that user?

[rewindboy123]

I can’t remember my password. I had it sent to my e-mail, but i don’t see it in my mail.

Is there anyway to automatically reset the password.

Hi Forum,

In order to perform the syncronization between WordPress and BBPress, I need to know what a specific Forum’s post forum_id is. Where do I find this information?

[gerikg]

I disagree with the not having the standalone. Some website have no reason to have anything on their site other than a forum. You can have two versions plugin and standalone. I did mention before giving 0.9 & 1.0 version names instead of numbers because it confuses people. Example bbPress Blue v1.0 (for 1.0) and bbPress Red v1.0 (for 0.9).

I would say stay away from buddypress for now. They have a lot issues that they are trying to deal with since their release from BP 1.0 to BP1.1 (a big change). Buddypress is already using bbpress in their install but for the Group feature which can conflict and confuse people.

I installed WPMU just for BuddyPress a regret it since then. I’m having a lot of basic issues that isn’t addressed.

Anyway back to the topic. I was able to integrate WP+BB easily, I don’t have PHP knowledge but I was able to. It’s the so many versions of the integration that screw people up in my experience. I think bbPress is great already, you just need more plugins and themes. And most important finish the development documents. I know WP didn’t have it for years but why follow? If you have more theme development also I believe bbPress will pick up faster.

[deadlyhifi]

It’s great to hear that bbPress has a future, so thanks for informing us, Matt.

At this stage I think it’s important to get bbP integrated better with WP in terms of the theming, and having a select number of WP functions available to it.

Logging in, and profile pages should be brought together. At the moment my integrated site has abandoned WP profiles, because of the forum history, favourites, etc. in bbP.

Sharing of cookies needs to be a single check box option, with none of the faffing around that it currently takes. The login/out form needs to be global.

Two versions of bbP (0.9, and 1.0) is very confusing, particularly when it comes to browsing the plugins. We need some clear direction for plugin writers, since this brings real power and customisation. (twitter login, facebook connect, etc. should all be plugins since not everyone needs these features.)

It may be that bbP needs to stop its standalone status (though, I hear many cries) and focus on its integration with BuddyPress. If someone only wants a forum then they can switch off all the other Buddy features. BuddyPress would then take over all user profile duties and allow easy integration with a single administration area (paying good attention to moderator powers.)

thanks.

I think having gotten into plugin development with bbPress, a big part of what it needs is more documentation. One of the great advantages of WordPress is the ease with which additional functionality can be implemented, and bbPress is quite similar in that respect, but actually knowing how to implement it using the native functions available is currently a learnt skill, rather than something you can pick up from reading the Codex. As this thread shows, bbPress has a wide variety of uses and situations, so it’s important for it to be easily adaptable in order to grow.

Not too much to do with how bbPress develops as a codebase, but not too off-topic I hope

[johnhiler]

One more question for you actually: how many users are there in each of your bbPress installs?

[chrishajer]

I deleted a bunch of off-topic troubleshooting-type posts. If yours is missing from here, that’s what happened. Please start a new topic for your issue, if you have one, and let’s keep this topic on the topic ‘future of bbPress’.

Thanks

[johnhiler]

Ah ok.

1) Your first step is going to be to get all of the installs to use the same users table. Technically, you’ll want to follow steps similar to the ones described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps

However, your job will be greatly complicated by the fact that each install will have overlaps in terms of userid and usernames. For example, userid #5 on bbPress install #1 is going to refer to a different user than userid#5 on bbPress install#2. You’re going to have to address that – this link will help greatly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations

2) Phew, it’s good that they’re all in the same database… hopefully your WordPress install is also in the same database. This will simplify things a bit.

3) Ok, good to know.

I can’t offer custom help – I’m just a volunteer! But I’m glad to try and help you here, so others can learn from the discussion…

Here’s what I would recommend:

1) Your first step would be to backup all of your data.

2) Then, I’d setup a test environment exactly like your current environment and put your data there. That way, you can work on the integration with much less stress.

3) Then I would figure out how to deal with the userid and username overlap described above. This will probably be the hardest part!

4 ) Once you’ve figured that out, you’re all set to integrate all the installs to use the same usertable.

5) Finally once that’s done, you can also integrate the cookies so users only have to signin once!

If this sounds waaay too hard, you may want to hire a consultant or expert to help ya out! Here’s a list of people who are available:

here we go…

yes sir,

1. my database of 25 forums and 01 wordpress is same name. but different table prefix. but not sharing user table: No it’s not true; if you sign up from one bbpress install with the name of “John” then you can’t login other 24 bbpress installs. we really need it.

2. my bbPress installs is not sharing a user table. also tell me how it’s possible. yes they are in same database.

3. I’m using bbpress Version 1.0.2 and wordpress Version 2.8.5

Another request: is it possible to contact with you with IM?

[johnhiler]

I’m sorry to say this, but integrating your 25 installs is probably going to require more work than filling in a setting page.

A few questions for you:

1) You have 25 bbPress installs, and they are currently not sharing a user table… is that right? As in, if I sign up as “john” on one install… can I sign in with that username and password on another one of your bbPress installs?

2) If your bbPress installs are not sharing a user table… do you know if all of the user tables are in the same database?

3) Finally, what versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[johnhiler]

What version of bbPress are you using? Do you have a Manage subtab showing up in your admin area?

Also – did you try the url directly?

htttp://yourdomain.com/ForumFolder/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page

[bblover]

Dear sir….

I think you are not complete understand my question….. rethink about it…. when i complete successful integration of wp-bb and finally go to the admin panel of wp after activation of bbpress integration plugin then it is asking me to give bbpress url of one of my forums like bbpress01-of-25…

click following linkh to see screenshot:

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/2820/wpadmin.gif

so, where i put my other 24 bbpress forums url in this field? I’ve bit knowledge of coding .. so tell me how can i integrate these 25 forums with one wordpress.. provide me simple and clear solution.

another question……

tell me clearly about user shared login…… i want to share user logins between my 25 forums…… when one user register to my first forum i.e. bbpress01 then he can also use this id on my other 25 forums where he no need more registration for other 24 forums.

I’ll very thankful to you if you solve this problem… i really love you 😡
