I’ve been trying to install the latest version of bbpress, but every time it installs it’s giving an error it can’t create the forum. It makes no sense. And then whenever I try to reinstall it says bbpress is already installed and it won’t do anything.

As we’re here, one might want to browse this thread as well

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/kin-kakumei-gold-kakumei

There’s a focus on the “look” of the button there, which might well be a good complement…

The “Depreciated” error is caused by PHP complaining that the code is using an old-fashioned way of passing variables. The 2nd error is complaining that PHP has just output text when it shouldn’t have done (since it just gave error text).

The short-term fix would be to look in your PHP’s php.ini and check allow_call_time_pass_reference is set to On, but I don’t know why your xampp would’ve shipped with it Off since mine came On or why it’s calling things like that in bbPress. So yep, re-download. That’s not an error caused specifically by a trunk build though

I downloaded the zip file and it unzipped itself into a folder. When I tried to upload the folder in my root (html) directory it will not do so as a folder but as individual files. Is that ok and what will be the URL if I upload it into the root (html) directory to access the forums as admin?

Also I am using WP 2.8.4, so do I need to use the WP Integration Plugin with it?

Thank you.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the plugin is intended for WordPress installs only I’m afraid.

A quick way of doing it:

In your bbPress directory, make a file called javascript.php containing:

<?php



// Taken from index.php

// Load everything up



require('./bb-load.php');



do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}



bb_load_template( 'html_include.php' );



?>

then in your template directory, make a file called html_include.php containing:

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<table id="latest_discussions">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>" title="<?php topic_time(array('format'=>'datetime')); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</table>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

and finally, in the page where you want to load the list, put something like:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>$.get("javascript.php",  { rand: Math.random() }, function(data){ document.getElementById('latest').innerHTML = data; } );</script>

<div id="latest"></div>

Old-fashioned way of loading the HTML in there and use a local copy of jQuery or whatever library you use, but that’s the general idea really.

html_include.php is just a cut down version of front-page.php so you can edit it the same as any other template. javascript.php doesn’t load in stickies, but that’s just how I felt like doing things, it’s a cut down version of index.php so it’s easy enough to put back.

Even more cut down version of html_include.php (so you really do just get a list):

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<ul>

<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<li><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</ul>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

bbPress 1.0.3? you mean trunk. right?

I would suggest downloading a fresh copy, then replacing bbPress files. Try again and come back.

[kirpiit]

Instead, that /rss/topics thing looks promising: if I only could find the source of that page, and throw away most of the code, just to keep the last 5 or so entries with no formatting, that would be more than enough.

There is a rss.php file inside the bbpress folder, but there is too much code and I get lost into it.

[kirpiit]

They could surely be worth inspecting, if I only really knew anything about coding.

So, you mean that if I place this piece of php code [1] into any web page I’ll show a list of entries? I tried but it doesn’t seem to work at all.

So, the idea of just swapping wordpress variables with bbpress ones is not enough.

No. I’m afraid it would be beyond my skills.

Hi, I can’t find a solution to the following errors. It’s after a pure install of bbpress 1.0.3

First is:

What bbpress integration plugin are you using? You should be able to integrate 2.8 and 1.0 without any plugins installed in either, just set the bbPress up with the same settings as WordPress under Settings -> WordPress Integration in the bbPress admin.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There’s the latest topics RSS feed at /rss/topics and the WordPress Latest Post plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/, either of those help?

I believe there is some problem with https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-lightbox2/ . The slider in snowski functions properly when I disable it. It was the only thing I did yesterday and the slider didn’t open right after disabling the plug in, so I first thought it wouldn’t be the reason. Would it be possible to investigate the issue or could you recommend a replacement for bb-lightbox2?

Thank you very much for your fast reply and your effort and time

What if I want to show some of the latest discussions inside my site home page? Just titles (with links) would do. Is there any way one can grab them, perhaps as RSS, and display them into a page? I know, as an example, this is currently done for twitter posts. What about bbpress discussions?

[Shagalaga]

bbpress is opensource

[enatom]

Can i use the login sessions of bbpress for my own custom script ? so people register and login through bbpress, and the session carries on to my custom script outside of the bbpress folder/installation.

[Mark]

I’ll post this here, as this is probably the closest thread I’ve found relating to what I’m trying to do.

I’m setting up a µ site that will be using bbPress on the main blog. Since I don’t want to usurp *.domain.tld/forums/ on every blog, I set up bbPress under its own subdomain.

Works fine using either an Apache VirtualHost or the above mod_rewrite method, right up until I try to load µ from within bbpress (there are a LOT of functions I would like to use without rewriting them, so this is absolutely necessary). Once I load wp-config in bbPress, trying to access the forums 302 redirects me back to blog. Looks like I can have my subdomain, or my integration, but I can’t have both at the same time.

Has anybody gotten this to work?

[pixelgirl]

Hi,

well, the topic title says it. It works fine when I log on to WP, click on forums getting logged in to bbpress. But when I log out from WP, I still stay logged on the forums, although my buddybar is showing that I’m not logged… Weird thing, can anyone explain this? It would be good when I can login/out from WP including the forums. Deep integration was done already, but I have no idea what went wrong on this issue.

Maybe someone experienced the same?

Thanks for your replies.

I will go with another board then; I wanted to use BBpress but based on the features as listed above it wouldn’t be feasible.

Appreciate the input.

[PeterVk2]

@Senteevs: Excellent. Thanks so much for you time.

I also found a workable solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields#post-1839 I couldn’t find anything in the forums until I used Google to search the forums. Google surfaced what I needed as the first hit.

Thanks again.

[garyditsch]

I had my test bbpress and my wordpress site working well. WP 2.7.1 and bbpress 1.0 I updated my wordpress site this weekend to 2.8 and now the integration doesn’t work.

Not only does the login not work across the site, but when I login to one it logs me out of the other.

I have went through all the steps that I did initially to integrate the sites, but haven’t figured out the change. I’m wondering if it has to do with the bbpress integration plugin?

[annejan]

I installed the latest bbPress version (1.0.2) and integrated in WordPress 2.8.4.

Everything seems working, but only the footer navigation with the “next page” links don’t work.

I think it is a conflict between the htaccess files of bbPress and WordPress.

If I switch Options -MultiViews to Options +MultiViews, the “next pages” work.

But from that moment the topic page redirects to /topic/17475/page/17475 (the latest number isn’t correct).

Anyone a solution? Thanks in advance.

I haven’t had a chance to use bbPM yet – I hear good things though:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpm/

This is the most popular and oldest PM plugin… it has some usability issues that are unresolved, along with some security issues (which have been largely patched, in the comments of the plugin):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-messages/

I don’t know of any PM plugins in bbPress that allows users to send attachments/photos…

[pixelgirl]

Update:

I’ve been moving around some function calls and css attributes, things almost work except 3 things:

1. The navigation shows “members” as selected page, not the forums. How can I solve that? To implement the forum link on bbpress, I’ve created a file called pb_nav.php and put it in my mu-plugins/ dir. This won’t work on bbpress for whatever reason

2. When viewing a topic, I got some admin options at the bottom, such as “Delete topic”, “Unstick topic” etc. All these options are put in “[…]” which looks awful. I have no idea what in what file I can remove them.

3. I’d also like to change the “welcome <username> | Admin | log out” part by removing the username part, where is that declared?

I’d be happy if someone would help me out here, I’m almost getting to there…

Hi,

personal messaging is not a default function in bbpress, bbpress is great because of other features
