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;’

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.

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?

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!

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.

[yutt]

Alright, now I am having *serious* issues getting Rewrite Rules to work.

I’ve done these dozens of times and they aren’t particular complicated, here is a brief example of what I am trying to do:

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^example/?$ /forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php [NC,L]

</IfModule>

Accessing ‘http://www.example.com/forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php&#8217; directly works perfectly. Accessing from ‘http://www.example.com/example&#8217; does a redirect to ‘http://www.example.com/forums&#8217;.

There are NO other rewrite rules active. I even disabled those from bbpress to try to track down what is happening. But some sort of 302 redirect keeps occurring. Is bbpress triggering this internally somehow?

[r-a-y]

Rohan is wrong.

It’s available at bbShowcase:

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

Look for the “bbOrg” theme.

There’s also a similar version called “The Hybrid / aka Kakumei Too”

They’re probably not updated for bbPress v1.01 though, but with a few adjustments you could probably get there.

[andywilliams244]

I’m offering $10 to whoever can get this done for me.

Just send me an email

I did essentially add in the bbpress custom css to my wp theme’s css, too, so that they would really mesh up better, as well.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Log out, flush your cookies, log back in.

Did you mesh bbPress and WordPress?

[nickaster]

Hi there – has anyone tried to use the registerd users only plugin with wordpress and bbpress running together? I found that it works great for wordpress but skunks all access to bbpress. Anyone get around this?

Thanks!

[grassrootspa]

Anyone have any idea how one would be able to ‘bridge’ the user database of multiple bbPress sites?

Example:

1) Someone signs up to post on bbPress site 1.

2) The same user name and login works on bbPress site 2.

3) Likewise, someone who signed up on site 2 can login and post under site 1.

Is this possible or simply a pipedream?

Any plugins or site features in the works for something like that?

cita:

“To get Avatar tab in the profile working under Alpha-2 –

edit avatar-upload.php in the bbpress root

change line 7 from

bb_auth(); // logged in?

to

bb_auth(‘logged_in’); // logged in?” by Batrachoid

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It doesn’t look like bbPress has an extensive library of plugins like Word Press.

bbPress JUST went live with the 1.x version. So yeah, there are few plugins. It’s a baby.

Best is subjective. What do you need out of a forum?

[Raize]

Simple Press Sucks

BBPress is too young at this point for it to be a permanent solution

Vanilla is too unstable to be a permanent solution

VBulletin is too clunky

Esotalk got abandoned.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WORDPRESS FOR FORUMS…YET

So much for giving back to the community lol
