Yes, a keymaster can make other members keymasters, just edit their profile and change level.

Just remember you are giving 100% access to those people.

[demonicrock]

oh, is there any way to make a few of the administrators “keymasters” as well so that they will have same access as user#1 admin ID?

[demonicrock]

Ok! Thanks CK!……

[_ck_]

Yikes. Well I guess that is one way. Books are great but nothing beats hands-on.

Funny thing is I’ve never read a book about PHP or MySQL

I learned through reading other people’s code and trial and error and reading php.net and mysql.com

Not knowing how to make a link from one page to another though is a more fundamental problem, it means you don’t know HTML either?

A link to your front page looks like this:

<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>

However in your case, your theme already has a section for a nice menu at the top.

It looks like the theme author was clever enough to put in a way to modify it.

Save this as a file called _my-custom-menu.php

http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f4d77734c

and upload it into the bbpress my-plugins directory. If you don’t have such a directory, make one (just like the bb-plugins that’s already there)

Alternately you could edit functions.php in your genealogias theme folder around line 102

function gs_navigation_menu() {

$links = array();

$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_option('uri'), __('Front Page', 'genealogies'));

$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_tag_page_link(), __('Tags'));

$links[]='<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>';

printf('<ul class="primary xoxo"><li>%s</li></ul>', implode('</li><li>', apply_filters('gs_navigation_menu', $links)));

}

Very nice use of the color tones.

I also like how you used Topic Icons.

You are logging in as a regular admin and not the keymaster.

Only keymasters can see the advanced plugins and settings.

Did you demote yourself from keymaster to regular administrator?

Or are you logging in as another user you created as an administrator?

If you are user # 1 and still don’t know what is wrong

you can try using this plugin to fix your access level

You have to be a KEYMASTER to see the advanced settings/plugins menu in bbPress

A regular administrator in bbPress only has slightly more rights than a moderator.

If you are already the keymaster (and user #1) and still can’t see the plugins section, perhaps try this plugin to fix it:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

(it’s an auto-load plugin so it doesn’t need activation)

[_ck_]

edlvg you want something like

echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name";

I just realized I completely missed explaining how to get forum names via WordPress, I was telling people to use bbPress functions which is of course impossible from WordPress. Let me know if anyone still needs the help.

Perfect video, couldn’t do the integration with out it.

Just 1 minor problem:

– I’m using wordpress 2.6.5 (I think) with bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6. I could fully integrate the logins, but not the Admin panel.

There’s that plugin (showed over the last minutes off the video) to make possible login at WordPress and get access to the Admin panel. Unfortunately, it sais that you need to use at least WP 2.7 for it to work.

Well, I actually tried to install and activate it in my WP 2.6, it worked and generated me the “define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);” code.

But in the end, it doesnt work like expected. Probably because of the 2.7 minimum requirement.

Is there any solution to make this work out? I just need this last step working to keep it 100% integrated.

Best regards.

[edlvg]

Hello, so how’s the code if we’d like to add posteb by… in …

I get the topic and forums list but’d like to show the author.

Tried the codes at the beginning but doesnt seem to work, fatal errors :S

thanks in advance

[demonicrock]

hmmm.. that might be the problem then.. I am using an administrator ID, but someone else orig set it up and has the original admin (keymaster) ID.. Thought all permissions were the same… Is there a way to make additional ID’s with same permissions as the orig admin (keymaster) ID?

I have the latest versions of both WP and BBpress..

thx for the reply

[chrishajer]

If you don’t have access to the bbPress admin, or you can’t see the plugins link once you’re in the admin, it’s possible you’re not the keymaster.

@demonicrock – what version of bbPress and WordPress did you install?

[andrecassal]

Adding to my last post.

I just can see me logged in and also the profile pages.

[Pump]

I have the same problem…

[adeboy]

@swaymedia – you make a php page in the bb template folder and put that code in, you get the topics which you can loop through as normal.

@chrishajer – sure, the full bbpress forum is not in an iframe in a WP page, just the recent posts, although i just realised for something else that a micro bbpress forum in an iframe/widget could be very interesting

[swaymedia]

@CK

as i said, its getting to a point where we’re all voicing our concerns, and BBPress is heading towards a milestone, so Matt as he should be, very concerned about what could be an even further Great piece of software.

[demonicrock]

As i was going through some other threads. I found this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=5#post-909

could that be my problem? the admin ID (keymaster) was given a custom title just recently as yesterday…..

[demonicrock]

Greetings,

I am a new WP and BBpress user.. I have read through a few other threads here regarding similar issues.. I am tryign to install the “allow-images.php” plug in for a BBpress… I have created the my-pluguns folder in the root of BBpress and placed the “allow-images.php” file in that folder. My understanding is the next step should be to activate the plugin…..

Do i do that in the admin section of the forum? or admin section of WP?

I cannot see a plugins section on the forum side of BBpress.. I am familiar with installing plugins on regular WP…. Am i missing something here? If i am.. Where in BBpress admin is the plugin section?

[chrishajer]

@adeboy – I know how to create a page with an iframe, I just wanted to see your bbPress installation inside a WordPress page, in an iframe. When it’s ready, please post the link to it. Thanks.

[kevinjohngallagher]

With respect Swaymedia mate, if you don’t read what people reply to you, you’ll never get the answer to the questions you’ve asked.

===============================================================

_ck_: “If you don’t know what I know about bbPress it just means you are lazier than me”

[swaymedia]

@adeboy

where would you put the code:

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

$topics = get_latest_topics(  );

edit: @kevinjohn: i wont read all of that but “thumbs up”

[kevinjohngallagher]

Swaymedia,

Ipstenu made some great points, to show you the thoughts of someone with a different perspective. While you might not see his point of view, he was kind enough to lay out his view point for you.

As much as Ipstenu and _ck_ are making generalisations, so are you. You have no proof that “the majority” want what you want. You keep using the phrase “the majority” to back up your points, and while i mostly agree with your premise, i’m not overly confident that randomly adding in your guess on how many people might possibly maybe agree with you is helpful.

“the majority” is the same as “deep integration will crush a shared server if you get a surge in visitors”, there’s not facts or figures, just someone’s massive assumption, laid out to attempt to prove a point.

Ipstenu is wrong about integration not being mentioned on this site, it’s on the homepage (https://bbpress.org/), the about page (https://bbpress.org/about/features/) and on the documentation page (https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/) and this is what confuses people who are new to BBpress. But, every time someone mentions it, it’s shot down.

And yes, while using an iFrame is a hack, hacks are far from uncommon in the web industry, let alone wordpress or BBpress. Making things work has always been the way websites have been built, and while i understand and support your desire for a different method, there’s very little need for the ‘OMG’ simply because you dont like the solution presented (not to mention, i think very few 13 year old girls read this website so wont be too impressed ;-] ).

There’s loads of things wrong with BBpress, and many are trying to work to make it better. Getting up tight becuase you dont like a solution or because you want others to code a better one for you isn’t going to make BBpress a better fit for you. Take a deep breath my friend.

Kevinjohn

p.s. And if you were using an iFrame back in 1995 then my hats off to you, as Microsoft didn’t invent them until 2 years in later, so kudos for driving that delorian up to 88 miles an hour and going back in time to work as a microsoft dev in building IE 4.

===============================================================

_ck_: “If you don’t know what I know about bbPress it just means you are lazier than me”

[adeboy]

@chrishajer – Its not quite ready for primetime but you just make a very basic page with the bb-load.php include and then you can get the latest topics/comments and create some links. You need some simple css in the page to match your site styling for the links and target the top frame in the links

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

$topics = get_latest_topics(  );

Your homepage might have adverts, widgets, maps etc which will often load in an iframe, as well as images, so the latest topics appear as part of the page build up.

One day i might get round to proper integration but until then, it works fine

@swaymedia – grow up

[swaymedia]

@matt – some genuine feedback to avoid Digg fan boys, taking the piss even further.:

1)

Once you get the BuddyPress version for non-MU WP out, would you not need Deep Integration on BBpress for that..?.. etc. BuddyPress + WordPress (non-MU) + BBPress (deep intergrated for post-alpha)… having to work around a ridiculous iFrame to show it on WP&BP is going to fan down big with the designers.

2)

Updating the Documentation now, will get alot more people to help. It hasn’t been since the last 8 releases.

3)

Look into intergration more, and synch BuddyPress with BBPress well enough for designers to do what they want with it.

4)

BBPress as the scripts name and TalkPress as the hosted version is the most stupidest thing i have ever heard. It’s going to show a deteriation on Automattics side.

5)

got plent more to moan about, but ill let someone else have a turn

[swaymedia]

OH MY GOD… are you guys serious… your going to cross over the solution with a stupid “iFrame”.. this is ridicilous….

@adeboy.. I know how to do iFrame, but design wise and everything else wise… Iframes suck… were taking a step backwords using iFrames, its like being in 1995 all over again.
