If you click into a forum, you should be able to click on the RSS link in your browser and get a feed specific to just that forum?

Alternatively, this plugin may do the trick?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/

[nzdan]

I apologize if this has already been requested but how did/do you add the rss feed button to your forum not the individual topics?

Is there a plugin available to do this?

I am testing bbpress to use as a knowledge centre at our office and need to find a easy way to subscribe to the forums section including all the subtopics or the latest discussions so new posts/replys or when new topics are created I will be notified and have the option to sign up to a rss feed?

As currently I can select a forum and then a topic and add as a favorite which works great, I get emails when this topic changes and I can add as a rss feed to say internet explorer. BUT I have to individually do this to each topic that I am interested in.

When a new topic is created I am not aware that this has happened (I am the key master) unless I find it in the latest dsicussions..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Dan.

Hi,

I get the following errors when using bbPress:

Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 71



Warning: join() [function.join]: Bad arguments. in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 71



Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/example.com/forums/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 85

I’m using bbPress 1.0 alpha 6 and I should also mention that I have integrated BuddyPress and WordPress MU and enabled WordPress’ WP_CACHE as stated here:

http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

Does that have anything to do with the error messages?

Thanks for reading!

Sounds like bb_repermalink could use some more work – you may be the first person to use bbPress on Solaris:

https://bbpress.org/forums/search.php?q=solaris

If you could report back what you find, maybe we can submit a patch or ticket back to trac… so the main developers can have a look at the issue.

Good luck!

Ipstenu – I have always installed bbPress and WordPress together like this, without a problem:

/var/www/example/wordpress/

accessible here http://www.example.com/

/var/www/example/wordpress/bbpress/

accessible here http://www.example.com/bbpress/

Are you suggesting NOT to install it like that?

[johnhiler]

Hmm, I’m still getting a Redirect Loop in Firefox for the forum links?

There’s no existing way that I’m aware of to integrate 2.8 with bbPress 0.9. The two plugins which allow that sort of cookie integration were broken when WordPress changed their cookie method in 2.8…

[ced64k]

3 days that I’m trying to find a solution and finaly it works ! (WordPress 2.8 + bbPress 1.0 rc3).

My solution, for a WordPress in the root and bbPress in a folder:

1) I don’t use the bbPress integration plugin for WordPress

2) Default wp-config and bb-config

3) Simply put AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY in the two config file (and double check that it’s the same)

4) Go to good ol phpMyAdmin and check that:

in bb_meta: in wp_options:

bb_auth_salt = auth_salt

bb_logged_in_salt = logged_in_salt

bb_nonce_salt = nonce_salt

@mikemcd22, sorry, only noticed your question today. I just do a Google search, eg., “php while loop” and tons of useful sites pop up. I don’t use one in particular. I haven’t gone very deep with it though, just enough to modify my theme templates to do things like the original question, add menus. Oh and the loop (which I didn’t need in the end) was to set a count for the number of recent posts which are displayed on the front page.

I doubt I’d use any other forum software now, as bbPress does everything I want, and is so easy to modify. If I can do it, I’d guess almost anyone can.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

No, you should copy the folder from bb-templates to a new folder name in my-templates.

So you’d have /public_html/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei and also /public_html/bbpress/my-templates/ipstenu

But all you really need is to port over the files from kakumei that you want to change.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

To make everything look like it’s one website is easiest to do with custom theming (or deep integration, but frankly that seems unreliable to me).

The site in question is using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpforum/ – bbPress is not a plugin, so it cannot be integrated the same way.

You can also allow for anon posting, though I don’t know if you can make it so that people can invent their own nicks on the fly.

Can’t answer that last one, as I don’t know if anyone’s tried.

That was a great tutorial my friend, it seemed simple but I haven’t done it yet and before I do I have few questions.

Will WordPress 2.8 work with bbpress 0.9.0.5 or do I have to do WordPress 2.8 with bbpress 1.0-rc-3?

Thank you in advance.

[darukas]

To have everything looking like one website.. like example: http://www.bliuzonaktys.lt/?page_id=75

Maybe posible to have forum communication without registration,that people can write theirs nicknames?

And posible maybe to convert db form wp-forum to bbpress?

[mikemcd22]

Hi all,

When I move my template files into bbpress/my-templates I get the following error when trying access my forum:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/databasename/html/forums/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

Is it normal for the template files to disappear in the bb-templates directory after you populate the my-templates directory with templates/themes?

Thanks

[johnhiler]

The only similar case I can see is an issue someone was having with IIS and REQUEST_URI… _ck_ wrote this plugin which resolved the issue:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/infinite-loops-on-posts-and-profiles#post-17396

It sounds like your situation is pretty different… but maybe worth looking at?

[johnhiler]

The official word is that non-ASCII characters won’t ever officially supported is usernames, for security reasons:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19400

Instead, display names in 1.0 can now be in unicode…

[mikemcd22]

Integration works! I finally figured out that every time I accessed the options.php file on the WP side, it was kicking me out of bbpress admin. So every time I entered the Auth_Salt and the Logged_in_salt, they were not being retained. What a dummy! So simple… Hope this helps others noobs while the veteran techies are laughing at me!

[bobbyh]

onelove, you may need to hand-edit your sql statements. Can you paste in line 1064 of your sql file?

[stevebooth]

Okay. So bb_repermalink is being called with a $location of ‘front-page’. $_SERVER is returning the null string and $_SERVER is also empty.

This causes the code at line 784 to bb_load_template 404.php because the null $uri does not contain the $check string which, in my case is ‘/bbpress/’.

SO… my question now is… why in the *heck* is the REQUEST_URI null?

[stevebooth]

$permalink is http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

[stevebooth]

How do I turn on the ‘bb_log’ing facility, and where does bbPress place the log file?

[jenz]

With bbPress v 1 RC – I had the same need and ended up putting this into the topic-tags.php template – and it worked great:

<div id="topic-tags">

<?php if ( bb_get_topic_tags() ) : ?>

<?php foreach ( $tags as $tag ) : ?>

<?php if ($tag == end($tags)) >

<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a> <?php tag_remove_link(); ?>

<?php else >

<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a><?php tag_remove_link(); ?>,

<?php endif;?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<p><?php printf(__('No <a href="%s">tags</a> yet.'), bb_get_tag_page_link() ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php tag_form(); ?>

</div>

This added the commas appropriately.

[stevebooth]

Good job on guessing the link there, John! You’re exactly correct. I also get an infinite loop when I go to the one forum, i.e.: http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=1.

I’m wondering… could this possibly be due to not having any posts recorded for the forum?

[daniellejosh]

i have all my WP contents installed in my root and also a folder called “forums” under my root… what should I do?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

With the setup you describe, I think you have bbpress as a subfolder under your WP install, and I’m not sure that’s a good idea. But I have no proof. I always suggest having WP in a non root folder, due to htaccess weirdness.
