Hello all – Thanks in advance for the help.

I’ve successfully installed bbPress 1.0.1 and have set up bbRatings. It seems to work fine when I use the template tags, but when I attempt to use

bb_get_user_rating(); to include a user’s rating in a reply – I get nothing. Is there anyone out there that has succeeded and who is willing to share their knowledge? I’m stuck.

Thanks!

Dang. So for bbPress 1.0+ you must go WPMU, huh?

[Detective]

Yes, it’s down, I’m setting up a new site.

But you can get it here… https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ajaxed-quote/

OK, I’m working on integrating my WordPress & bbPress themes. I’m doing the work in the bbPress theme files.

What I did was I copied the style.css from my WordPress theme into the new bbPress theme directory. Now I’m working on the header.php file, figuring the best place to start would be at the top of every page.

The navigation bar from my WordPress theme uses a javascript file which is included in the scripts/ folder under the directory where the theme lives.

I’m calling bb_get_active_theme_directory() to get the directory name, but this is not returning anything. The Appearance page in the admin console for bbPress is using the theme I’m editing, and viewing the page source shows the wrong value for the script file name.

A couple of lines earlier in the header.php file, it calls bb_stylesheet_uri() & that returns the full URI of the stylesheet. I want everything that’s in there minus the “style.css”. How do I get it?

If you integrate all the bbPress installs to use the same users table, then you can let your users sign in even if your bbPress installs are on separate domains… if you use ck’s awesome “Cross Cookie” plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/cross-cookie/

It only works in bbPress 0.9 though…

[TonyVitabile]

Thanks. I’ve been reading a little about deep integration & I’m not sure I want the overhead. This is a new site with only about 45 pages or so of static content, to date, and the amount of content will grow over time. Getting bbPress to load WordPress, too, sounds like it will slow everything down, especially as content grows.

As the pages are all contained in the database, and bbPress is already storing its data in the same database as WordPress, I was just looking for a function that would work like wp_list_pages() only using bbPress variables.

I guess I’m going to have to go spelunking through the WordPress & bbPress code.

Thanks Rohan. Here’s the thing, I don’t want separate blogs for each of the bbPress sites, just different domains with bbPress installs on each. Would this be possible via WPMU & bbPress?

[Rohan Kapoor]

Yes. The Idea is called Deep Integration. You’re looking for something like this: http://wpmu.zyrot.com/ and then http://wpmu.zyrot.com/forums/ right?

If so, I will help you, please email me at rohan@rohan-kapoor.com

That forum doesn’t use bbPress….it uses SMF.

[vanesta]

What is the equivalent of <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?> on wordpress template tag for bbpress?

I want to display text when user is logged in and something else if user is not logged in

[chandersbs]

Hi,

I had a long way to go, I migrated my forum from smf > phpbb3 > bbpress, and so far I’m very happy with it.

One of the problems I’m trying to solve is the avatar problem. Is there a way to manually upload my users avatar and activate it for them? (their avatar didn’t migrate, although avatar is working now, if you upload it again, but my users need to upload it again, I want to save them that trouble)

Thank you.

Hi folks. I’m pretty new to WordPress — I’ve only been working with it for about a month. And brand new to bbPress–I just installed it last week

I’ve got a theme installed on my WordPress MU site that I like. I want the bbPress pages to look similar. So I’m in the process of editing the bbPress template. Basically I want to use the same style sheet & just change all of the id tags to the ones that are in the stylesheet.

In addition, though, I’d like the two sites to share menus. I’ve got a nice horizontal dropdown menu that came with my theme that I’m using. The menu contains the pages in my WordPress blog.

I’ve duplicated the code for the menu in my bb-press theme’s header.php, but there is no wp_list_pages function in bbPress. Should I just write a function & add it to a functions.php file for my template? I suppose I can steal some of the wordpress code for the function & just modify the variables as necessary.

Does this sound like a good approach, or has someone else done this?

Also, I want the menu in both systems to have links to individual forums. Having a Forums link in the menu is cool, but I want 2 specific forums in other places in the menu structure. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tony

You can use CSS to do this. Simply find the class or id of the tags (view source is the quickest way), probably enclosed in <p> tags, I can’t remember, then edit the style.css file in your theme. Find the class/id and add:

‘text-transform:capitalize;’

More info can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_text_text-transform.asp

I’ve been using phpBB3 up until yesterday when it decided to go crazy for no reason and die. It was a good chance to change to bbPress as I had been considering it for a while. I’m loving the idea of users tagging topics but I can’t seem to find a way to edit tags like you can in WordPress’ control panel. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and people are creating tags with wrong capitalisation so any new tags that have correct capitalisation are automatically converted to the original incorrect form. Are there any plugins out for editing bbPress tags, or any way I can quickly modify them without a plugin?

[kickerman360]

Make sure you have inserted the code.

Refer to the installation notes you should have got with your download.

[chandersbs]

Hi,

the avatar upload works now, thanks to you,

but its not showing in my forums or profile

any ideas?

[chrishajer]

One subject per topic, please.

To create a link to the lost password page, just use this URL and put it in your template file wherever you want to see it.

<a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/bb-login.php">Reset your password</a>

Is it more complicated than that?

[HIWC]

On BBPress, when a user is not logged in and they click on a link that uses “?re=URL…” they are being sent directly to a 404 Error page. It works when I login to the Admin area, but not any other URL.

For example:

[Rohan Kapoor]

@tiptaptip you forums is smf not bbpress

[Rohan Kapoor]

It is very simple. I will explain to you how to do it. Use 1 WordPress MU site for the database and then integrate each bbpress with cookies and user database integration. It works fine. I’ve done it!

[Rohan Kapoor]

I thought the plan wasn’t to give it away? Such as with the buddpress.org?

[Rohan Kapoor]

I emailed you

[Rohan Kapoor]

@ipstenu: I know iframes are dangerous but it was the simplest way of getting the job done.

@everyone: thanks for your support!

[yutt]

A friend of mine helped me to determine this *is* being done by bbpress, most likely as some referral rule system. How do I get around this? I would like to be able to access my page from a rewritten URL.
