I actually have a WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) working in bbPress… but haven’t released it since I don’t know if we can re-distribute TinyMCE’s software. But it’s really easy to do…

Basically I am very new to website design. I have begun learning photoshop and fireworks and am building my site at the moment using dreamweaver. I may have the complete wrong lingo when describing what it is that I am asking, but I am looking into incorporating a forum into my site using bbpress. At the moment i have a domain but no server and I was just wondering if I need a server in order to start working on configuring my forum or if I can do this before setting up an account. (I have downloaded bbpress but have no idea how to install it or if it runs through dreamweaver… but i suppose that is another story all together). At the moment I am just wondering if my website needs to be established on a server in order to configure wordpress?

I’ve just installed bbPress and I’m not using pretty permalinks and for some reason I never get a 404. Which at first doesn’t sound bad but I don’t get and 404 errors, no matter what I write in the address bar. I’d like to fix it (I’ve even specified a 404 page in .htaccess) but I’m really at a loss.

How I do deep integration using WordPress 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 Alpha 6.

Add to beginning of bb-config.php:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/absolute/path/to/yourdomain.com/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy");

}

If you use my bb-reputation plugin, please update to 0.0.6 ASAP.

Txanny, it’s hard to say as you’re talking about 6 months down the line, but if it was me i’d leave BBpress until the end of your development cycle. We’ve no idea what the 1.0 alpha is going to look like in 6 months, as the next release is going to break 2/3 of all plugins and none are being updated for some time, and _ck_ herself has stated she’s not fixing any of hers until 1.1 .

Given that 1.0alpha came out in September 16th last year and isn’t anywhere close to being out of alpha just now (some 6 months later), I’d suggest not making a decision on which BBpress version for quite some time yet, at least until 1.0alpha7 and we can see what the plugin fall out is.

If it was me though, i’d go with 0.9. it works well, the plugins work, development on it can continue, and it’s stable.

In another thread you posted this:

> I’m using bbpress 0.9.0.4 and wordpress 2.7.1.

Those two versions will not integrate user logins (cookies) unless you use one of these two solutions:

There’s something wrong with your header.php if there is just a “>”.

It should look like this:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/0.9.0.4/bb-templates/kakumei/header.php

[_ck_]

I’ve actually become the maintainer for that recently.

The problem is their options are VERY limited with no room for details.

WYSIWYG would be wrong, I’ll go look at that, but bbPress has partial or most of the others.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Not a great title but it’s after 3am here.

I remembered in October last year _ck_ posted a link to ForumMatrix and it’s information on BBpress:

http://www.forummatrix.org/show/bbPress

Now, if it’s not someone involved with the project that keeps ForumMatrix up to date, then i’m very sorry for asking but right now i find it a good source of “where we’re at”, but ee seem to have PLUGIN listed in every box. The thing is, i dont think we have plugins for some of this stuff.

For example, where is the WYSIWYG plugin?

According to forum matrix BBpress has plugins for Full BBcode, WYSIWYG editor, nested quotes, syntax highlighting, multiple file attatchments, acl, blacklist, warnings, suspensions, ip-block, audit logging, user reports, rating/karma system, custom profile fields, split threads, calendar, pruning , archiving, export private messages, lo-fi view.

Thing is, i dont see any working plugins that do those jobs. Now, i’m more than happy to admit that i may be wrong (be great if i was), but i do find the whole current plugin page a bit of a mess (given that the latest plugins, latest talked about plugins, and the highest rated plugins are generally quite similar).

Any help in finding working plugins that BBpress is supposed to have would be really helpful

Thank you all

when posting a topic within any forum, after I click submit, it goes directly to a This topic has been closed page. Nothing else shows, no errors. Just the standard green bbpress error page.

Anyone else experience this? ANy fixes?

[ganzua]

Ok, thanks for your help I’m going to try more of these queries. I find them very useful to integrate small details.

To be clear, both bbPress and WordPress for that matter still work fine under PHP 4.4.x and technically 4.4.x is still supported officially.

It’s just the specific i18n problem they are encountering, where the fix in 1.0 hasn’t been backported to 0.9

Sam is unlikely to make any further changes to 0.9 unless it’s a security fix or serious performance problem.

I haven’t looked at the fix for 1.0 but I suspect someone could make a patch to make 0.9 do the same thing if they really wanted.

[_ck_]

Because for some reason the bbdb object must not be created when deeply integrated under 1.0

Must have something to do with backpress which re-uses wp functions.

[ganzua]

That is with bbPress 1.0 right? the object_type is for 1.0

Yes, it is bb 1.06a with wp 2.7

I tried with get_var and I get the same error for get_var;

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_var() on a non-object in….

but then I changed $bbdb for $wpdb and it works. Why? I don’t understand this.

[johnhiler]

Yup! _ck_ did a great job with this plugin:

I’ve been using it for a while, and it’s really great…

Hi,

There is an answer to this question posted a year ago, but when I open the header.php file from my bb-templates/kakumei folder all that is there is “>”. I tried adding the code there, but it deleted the header. Is it located in another place?

I’m using bbpress 0.9.0.4 and wordpress 2.7.1.

Thanks!

[_ck_]

That is with bbPress 1.0 right? the object_type is for 1.0

You get nothing using get_results because it returns an array – use get_var instead

<?php

global $bbdb;

$result=$bbdb->get_var("SELECT SUM(meta_value) FROM bb_meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND meta_key='views'");

echo $result;

?>

[ganzua]

I need more info than “didn’t work”

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme/header.php on line 149 (line where I placed the code)

Try replacing $bbdb with $wpdb

no error but what I want is to query bbpress data base. Whenever I echo $results there is no answer.

[ganzua]

and remember to use $wpdb on WordPress pages, vs $bbdb on bbPress pages

I want to query $bbdb from a wp page. In particular, I want to fetch the total amount of views from your bb Topic Views plugin. This code didn’t work;

<?php

global $bbdb;

$results=$bbdb->get_results("SELECT SUM(meta_value) FROM bb_meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND meta_key='views'");

$results=$bbdb->get_results($query);

?>

WordPress is installed in /wordpress/ and bbpress in /wordpress/bbpress/ both deep integrated. What’s missing?

[trouwen]

I’m going to try this today! I hope it works, because I love WordPress and BBpress..

Thanks Ann, so far so good…..no problems on that end.
