The bbPress Integration plugin doesn’t make it work. It gives you instructions on what to do next.

If you have WPMU then you’ll receive four lines from the plugin

define( 'COOKIEHASH', '????????????????????????????????????' );

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.????????????????.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Paste it in wp-config after <? then do the same in bb-config without the first line.

Hi there!

I’ve got the same problem with a website I’m working on.

I’ve tried every option posted here, but nothing seem to work.

I am working with WordPress 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2.

I can log in on the bbPress and the WordPress, but the cookie integration (so people only have to log in from 1 place, logged in into both) isn’t working, they seem to get the user information from 1 table in 1 database.

I’ve verified that the keys are the same, all the keys are defined in both wp-config.php and bb-config.php, with the same keys and the same values for the salt. I even have a define(‘cookiepath’, ‘/’);, which also doesn’t seem to work.

I also have bbPress Integration (plugin) installed in WordPress, didn’t help as well.

Anything I may have missed?

I am looking for someone to help me with WordPress and bbPress. I have developed the wordpress site as a membership site and want to include a forum. I wasted about a month or more with SMF and couldn’t get it to work properly, so today I switched to bbPress and have it working in a iframe in one of the wordpress pages. The only problem is getting the cookies and all that to work so a person logged into the membership site can go right into the forum without having to re-log in and vice-versa.

I installed the bbpress integration plugin and went through all the set up procedures numerous times to no avail. I also went through the “WordPress Integration settings” numerous times. I have compared both the WordPress config and bbpress config files to be sure the Auth_Key, Secure_Auth_Key and Logged_In_Keys were identical and they are.

I have put the – define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/members/’ ); – line in the WPconfig file as instructed, but I just put it in exactly as shown here. I’m not sure if I should replace “cookiepath” with an actual path or if the word cookiepath is what they want.

I am not a code person, but I can get along sometimes ok. sometimes not! This is a NOT day.

Would some kind soul be able to help me with this?

If not please steer me toward someone who can help.

Output caching can be effective for parts of the page (I do it in several plugins) but caching an entire page for a forum is not as good of an experience for forums vs blogs.

Blogs are post once, read many times. Forums are post many times, read many times.

When you aren’t viewing comments, blogs barely change, on forums everything changes constantly.

Unless you don’t mind showing guests outdated info.

One day someone will port WP Super Cache or similar (but don’t look at me).

It will be effecting for showing guests outdated info.

Hey Frooyo – I think you mention output caching every change you get. Your comments about it are the first comment on this thread…

[frooyo]

@All

There does appear to be an option that everyone is overlooking … and that’s Output Caching.

We’ve talked about memcache, optcode caching and mysql query caching … but truly the most effective is simply perform Output Caching for non-logged in users.

In case someone is not aware, Output Caching is saving to disk the generated HTML. That way, instead of memcache where you have to make a call to the memcache server, or in mysql you’re still making the database call or in optcode caching, it’s simply pre-compliling the PHP … Output Caching is by far the fastest because it essentially just serving up pre-generated HTML straight from disk.

Interesting. There actually IS an RSS built into your user ID: https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/profile/otto42

But it’s used for your favorites so not so much. You can see all your posts in your profile (recent posts) so in theory this should be ‘exportable’ to RSS.

The rss.php file has this:

// Get latest posts by default

case 'all-posts':

default:

if ( !$posts = bb_get_latest_posts( 35 ) )

die();

$title = esc_html( sprintf( __( '%1$s » Recent Posts' ), bb_get_option( 'name' ) ) );

$link = bb_get_uri();

$link_self = bb_get_posts_rss_link();

break;

Which I think you could toss an extra if if ( $user->ID == bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) ) but that would only punt out a list of the current user’s posts, and not be a way to see anyones. The structure is there, though.

_ck_ posted a fix here that you can make to your template:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/navigation-not-working-only-for-page-1

I installed her “topics per page” plugin, which fixed it nicely as well (and gave more functionality to boot).

[Jan_d]

Did you mean this:

‘/*You will also have to manually ensure that the following constants are equivalent in WordPress’ and bbPress’ respective config files.

WordPress bbPress

AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY <=> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY <=> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY */’

If so, then yes …

[Revaz Eristavi]

Very good alternative is to create a private forum section where only 1 user is allowed to post a 1 topic where he can always respond to hes created post about whatever he does at the moment. something like twitter. Then other users can RSS this topic.

Well maybe it is out of theme, but good idea for many others who wishes to alternatively socialize his bbpress.

[johnnydoe]

i’m looking for a banner manager/banner rotator plugin for bbpress like “WP-BANNERIZE” (it comes with a banner impression counter and campaign manager).

is such a thing already in the pipe or should i stick with those external standalone ad-scripts for now ?

thanks

[bbhack]

There is also a patch here (see the attachements section of the ticket page below) –

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1181

But I haven’t tried the patch myself.

[bbhack]

To fix this you will need to remove the raquo characters from your core rss.php file. Then your RSS feeds will work again.

It looks like this bug was introduced in changeset 2323

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2323

[Olaf Lederer]

this feed is not standard in bbpress, but maybe it’s quite easy to add this function (will check this tomorrow)

[Don Spark]

thanks guys, that worked

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

jQuery is already bundled with bbPress (and WordPress), so you can just use

<?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>

in your theme’s functions.php and it’ll automatically be included in your header.

Same applies for WordPress, but using wp_enqueue_script instead…

But to answer your original question use <?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to output the template directory or <?php get_bb_active_theme_uri(); ?> to return it as a variable.

[Jan_d]

Thanks, but that did not work. I allready had bbpress-integration installed.

What did you mean by “get the info”?

I copied your code into the config-files. Nothing changed.

Any other ideas?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

It says that its not supported in my country. What a host? Can you provide an alternate method? I would like to read it.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

try 755 not 777. you should always use a more tight permission

[gerikg]

or https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-posts/

[gerikg]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-topics/#post-573

I think you can just change UNREAD to NEW.

[bbiSimone]

Hi folks,

I would like to know how I could get bbpress to show a little status update in my titles. So people can see which posts have just been opened.

This is what I’d like to accomplish: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions!

[gerikg]

change the folder permission to 777, happened to me

[Don Spark]

Hi all,

Just started my first bbpress forum at

http://ohlonecenter.org/forum

I created a directory inside that directory called

my-templates

and uploaded three themes from

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

guangzhou-bbpress

onvertigo

the-hybrid

The css does not kick in when I make the switch in the dashboard to another theme. I just see all my forum content stripped of css.

In the dashboard theme selector, I do not see the pic for the themes I uploaded, just the text and a space for the pic.

thanks,

Don

Hello!

I am working on a bbPress theme which can be seen at http://bbpress.ashfame.com/

I have a problem that when I click the “Add new” link on the front page, the page is broken in markup (also returns invalid markup – http://bbpress.ashfame.com/?new=1 )

Which template file does it use to generate?

And the login code doesn’t spit out the code in the sidebar when on register page ( http://bbpress.ashfame.com/register.php ) or on lost password page ( http://bbpress.ashfame.com/bb-login.php )
