I didn’t know this was even possible. I don’t think its working in Chrome though, is it?

Dear BBCoders…

I think it is small mistake but it is mistake. Your post editor lose it’s shape when we expand it with mouse click from bottom right corner. you should try to solve this small mistake and you should try to fix it’s width and height?

Hope all moderators will smile and take notice

here are it’s screen shots

Also you should try to solve this mistake in your post plugin

Is there a bbpress plugin that when someone leaves a comment, the original commenter gets get an emailed notification that someone has left a comment reply? For example, if you reply to this post, I would like to get an email that you have replied. The issue comes out is I forget to check to see if there is any updates. I hate having to check daily to see if there are any new replies.

I created the “my-templates” directory and I unzipped my theme into a folder in that directory. But when I go to my bbPress dashboard, the screenshot for my new theme shows a blank space with a red X in the upper left corner. When I click to “Activate” the theme it shows a featureless version of bbPress with no theme at all.

What am I doing wrong?

[merlin214365]

So after trying many plug-ins for meta data i found out that most don’t work at all with the newest version of bbpress and others do a poor job so i decided to write my own little php code no plug-in needed.

I wrote some php code to include a meta description based on the first 200 characters of the post and a default description if there is no post ( i.e the front-page ). Also meta keyword’s that displays any tags associated with that post as keywords.

So just add this to your header

<?php<br />
if ($posts) {<br />
foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class();<br />
$old=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean(); ob_start(); // you may leave ob_start();<br />
post_text();<br />
$out.=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean();<br />
endforeach;<br />
$out = preg_replace('#<p[^>]*>(s| ?)*</p>#', '', $out); // takes out <p><br />
$out = substr($out,0,200); // only displays the first 200 lines of the first post.<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="';<br />
echo $out;<br />
echo '">';<br />
}<br />
else {<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="This is your defalt description edit this to what ever you want ">'; // This displays when where is no post<br />
}<br />
global $tags;<br />
if (!empty($tags)) {<br />
$keywords=""; foreach ($tags as $t) {$keywords.=$t->raw_tag.', ';}<br />
echo "n".'<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.trim($keywords,", ").'">'."n"; // This displays any tags associated with that post as a keyword<br />
} ?>

Or you can just call get_user_profile_link(); function to get the simple link.

If the user is logged in, it will automatically get the user id.

Function can be found here –

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php#L2195

[Gautam]

Use this:

bb_get_profile_link(‘id=’.strval(bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ )).’&text=YOUR_TEXT_HERE&before=BEFORE_THE_LINK&after=AFTER_THE_LINK’);

You can view the function here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php#L2768

Jleuze,

It’s great news for me what you explain here.

Now my idea is just to stop at the first step. I’ll try migrating to vBulletin and stay there. I think it will be the best…

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi,

I’m setting up a bbpress instance and noticed that the log files have to exist otherwise no logging takes place. This makes my beloved log file rotating impossible.

But if i edit class.bp-log.php and insert the following after lines in set_filename at about line 143

if (! file_exists($_filename)) {

@touch ($_filename);

}

This allowes me to do nice things like configure log files to

define( 'BB_LOG_FILENAME', $global_log_dir . 'bbpress-' . date("Y-m-d") . ".log");

There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment.

But does it work out-of-the-box already? It doesn´t for me.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

WordPress themes can’t be used for bbPress without modification, but if it’s a bbPress theme, then yep, just put it in its own directory under my-templates

[xarzu]

I like this theme a lot. I have it for WordPress. I have never installed a new theme on my bbpress. How do you do it? I have figured out that I have to create a new directory at the bbpress root called “my-templates” and I guess I am supposed to put the unzipped file there.

That is about as far as I can tell so far. Any advice?

Thanks for stopping by Andy.

For bbPress to continue moving forward it has to start seamlessly integrating with WordPress.

There are only two ways of doing that. Move WordPress so that it uses BackPress, or extract BackPress from bbPress and point it to the code existing in WordPress (if it is integrated). Moving WordPress to use BackPress is a considerable job and would likely need the attention of a completely new version number. In the short term the time it would take isn’t feasible for bbPress (or BuddyPress for that matter) to continue moving forward at a reasonable pace.

The second option is quite possible and has already been done. Despite it not being the truly “ideal” method for the long term it could be used without problems until WordPress moves to BackPress. There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment. If someone was willing to put some time in and extract this code into a plugin (or perhaps a core extension) then the job would almost be done.

The integration / abstraction code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php

The configuration / setup code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-admin.php

I’m happy to help someone along with this.

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:

http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/html-purified/

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

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

[Dailytalker]

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
