I’m having a very strange problem with my bb-admin Forums (forums.php) page: none of my forums are displayed.

On the front end, all forums are visible, and posts/replies can be added.

But on the back end, it is as if bbPress can’t read the forum list from the database, or something.

It will let me add a new forum, but even a newly added forum isn’t displayed.

Has anyone seen anything like this? I’ve tried searching the bbPress forums, but haven’t run across anything even remotely similar.

I am trying to embedd bbPress inside a WordPress page.

I have followed instructions here on how to use iframe to do that.

Now I want to remove all the header information and the blue background so the installation looks cleaner on my site.

The current header.php file can be found at http://shiftselling.com/forum/bb-templates/derleth/header.php.

I’m using WordPress 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2

What is the minimum I need in my header file?

Thanks!

Craig

Hi All,

I’ve been trying to find installation instructions for bbpress on WordPress MU but couldn’t get what I was looking for.

I have followings:

WordPress MU on http://domain.com

I’ve one blog on this MU install lets say http://blog.domain.com

I want to install bbpress on only one blog so that it is accesible from http://blog.domain.com/forum

Can anyone help me out to get it done with simple instructions.

Tx

I see myself heading over to scriptlance to see if I can find someone to hammer it in somehow.

Hold that thought… This was ridiculously simple and it just popped into my head as I was typing… iFrames.

Darn! It Works! All I did was create a Sidebar as the center of the page, put an HTML widget in it with: <iframe name=”FRAME1″ src=”http://andresferraro.com/forum/&#8221; width=”100%” height=”1000″ frameborder=”0″ ></iframe>

All this into a page called “Forums” … So now my bbPress in /forum is accessible by the WordPress page /forums (note the “s” – one URL will got to bbPress, the other to WordPress) and wrapped inside a WordPress page – With a WP sidebar, header, navigation and footer.. Sure, there might be some duplicate stuff between the bbPRess header/footer and the WordPress one, but it looks a lot better than breaking the site’s continuity.

Seems I was trying to launch a rocket to the moon when all I needed was some more coffee.

Thanks for the brain jog!

That is it. In this link http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/ you see there a total of 54 tags so far on the big test box on the left. On the right only a maximum of 40 are displayed. How do I change the number of tags to be shown in the box on the right? Like say just 20 or 30 or even 50 if need arises.

Thank you.

Just saying that bbpress plugins are like wordpress plugins doesn’t help. please give us more info! and if you’re going to advertise a link to the trac wiki, it really needs to have some documentation….

[johnhiler]

I haven’t used this personally so I’m not sure if it would work for you… but this is the closest plugin I can think of!

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/topic-icons/

[johnhiler]

I think this plugin may do the trick?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/

[chrishajer]

There was a plugin called post count plus that worked up through 0.9:

I don’t know of anyone who has been successful in getting bbPress inside a WordPress page yet.

[andresferraro]

I’m trying to wrap the whole Forum in a WP Page. If there’s a resource limitation I can always try to get more CPU resources.

[darrinb]

Is there a way to set pagination per page? Say, for instance, I want to show 10 topics on the homepage (front-page.php) but 30 posts on the Topic page (topic.php). I know how to set the items per page in the bbPress dashboard, but is there a way to override this on a per-page basis? Like “showposts” in WP?

Thanks.

[andresferraro]

The thing is its so much easier to just use the WP theme to control the layout and other widgets – I have to mess with very little code. Hopefully just enough to get bbPress to show. So far I’ve tried calling bb-load.php with <?php ‘/home/userpath/public_html/forum/bb-load.php’; ?> inside the PHP widget but I get either no output or a path error depending what I load. Am I wrong to think I’m not that far from getting it to display inside?

[chrishajer]

How much of bbPress are you putting into a widget? The whole forum, fully displayed, or just some content from your forum?

[chrishajer]

Here is a screenshot of the little [x] next to the tags I can delete here:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/remove-tags.png

Why is that not present in your theme?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

bbPress functions don’t take arguments the same way as normal PHP functions. You pass arguments as an array.

i.e.

bb_tag_heat_map( array( 'smallest' => 9, 'largest' => 38, 'limit' => 80 ) );

[chrishajer]

We’re talking about the same thing. Looks like your heatmap goes from a tag beginning with b to one beginning with w so my guess is that the display is not being hidden in some way by CSS.

So, I am just wondering how you, or anyone,would know exactly how many tags are in use on a forum, that’s all.

You need to modify front-page.php NOT tags.php. tags.php creates this:

http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/

Looks like there are more tags there, maybe 55 or something like that.

[chrishajer]

This is the best resource I know of for internationalization:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages

I don’t see Galacian there.

Try the other way round, skinning bbPress with your WordPress widgets. Under deep integration, the sidebar functions might work fine. Maybe. bbPress isn’t light enough to just be invoked by a small piece of code in a widget though. That said, there is a WordPress plugin for displaying the latest posts and such from bbPress.

[andresferraro]

Tell me if I’m crazy…

I’ve done the “deep” integration of bbPress into WPress – Not sure I needed to go that way, but just in case. It all seems to work. bbPress is running in a subdirectory of wordpress on the root. On WordPress I’m using a flexible theme where I can place and size sidebars anywhere. I have the “Samsarin PHP Widget” plug-in in Wordpres which lets me run PHP in a widget. … So here comes the big question:

What PHP do I have to put inside the widget to get bbPress to display in there?

Any help? Heck – any help getting bbPress to display as a piece of the content of a WP Page so I can put WordPress widgets around it?

[CraigElias]

I am embedding a forum in a WordPress protected page – http://www.shiftselling.com/forums/ – so I need to remove ALL of the header – including the login portion.

Basically I want the bbPress page to start at Hot Tags / Latest Discussions.

What is the minimum content I need in the header.

hey chris. I tried it on a different theme from the bbpress showcase and the tags delete function works properly. The URL is http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress FYI. What is the stock theme? The default theme?

[InvTrdr]

Not sure if we are on the same page. I am referring to the tags displayed in the box on the right which I think is also called a heat map? I counted them and see 40 of them to be precise. How do I show more or less? The link is http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress to see what I am trying to convey.

Thank you.

[Paul0]

Hello, I would get the translation into Galician for my bbpress forum.

Thanks
