1. When you are logged in as a moderator or above (admin or keymaster), at the bottom of the topic, you will see “[Stick topic (to front)]” – there are two links there. Stick topic just sticks it in that forum. To front sticks it to the front page.

2. You need a plugin for that.

Old:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/

Newer and different:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

3. Did you activate them in the admin? Or, what version bbPress are you using? I’m not sure it was included in the earlier versions, so those early version required a plugin. It’s built in now (in the 1.0 alpha releases anyway.)

Hi, all –

I think I’m pretty close to being ready to go live. Just a few issues:

1. How does one make a post “sticky?” I’ve looked through the dashboard and the forums (I promise), and haven’t found the answer.

2. What are the provisions for letting users post images?

3. I set up a gravatar, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Anything I should know?

Thanks!

The download file is now fixed and you should now get alpha 6 instead of alpha 5.

Thanks, Chris. I’ve taken a first pass, with partial results…I get some of the formatting, but not all. I suspect the problem is that I don’t fully understand the constructs being used in the css. Can you tell me what this means, for example?

#header div.search input.submit { etc… }

And how do I “invoke” this in my php file?

Oh: the website is http://www.scopedin.com/bbpress. I’m trying to add a “return” button in the header.

Thanks.

I’ve started coding my first bbPress plugin and I’m now pretty familiar with most of the actions and filters and some of the inner workings of bbPress but I’m stuck.

The idea of my plugin is to insert AdSense code block in every topic at post X where X is either random or defined by the admin. I’ve been messing around with the post_text filter which allows me to change the text of any given post and insert an AdSense block. I can mess around with the author name and stuff too. The problem is that by doing this I replace the current post with the AdSense block instead of simply inserting it before or after the post, thus the post I replace isn’t visible.

To get around this I tried to first display the AdSense post then include the post.php file in the currently selected theme. But this crashes, I think due to an infinite loop. I then noticed the pre_post filter which looked promising but I couldn’t find where it’s defined or how it’s used.

In short, I need an alternative approach or solution to create a custom (and theme-independent) post.

My code, so far, is visible here: http://pastebin.com/m1cbf6b24

I’m working with bbPress in some languages with special characters, but I think that the way those are being handled when making for instance topic_slug isn’t the best way. Is it something which might be changes in the core, or which function should I “change” to add the nicer translation. The following three examples are handled the same way in both bbPress and WordPress.

Some examples from the Danish alphabet:

– æ/Æ > ae (not changed at all)

– ø/Ø > oe (not changed at all)

– å/Å > aa (changed to a at the moment)

[Daniel Juhl]

Has anyone made a temporarily fix to this?

I can see, that not much had happened even though it has been discussed a bit.

http://trac.bbpress.org./ticket/690

[Alvyn]

Hi there!

I had recently installed bbpress to my href=”http://www.going2campus.co.cc” and wordpress installed to my href=”http://www.going2college.co.cc”

I wish to integrate the bbpress into my wordpress but do not know how to do that.

Can anyone help me with this task.

Thank you.

[Seans0n]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. It took a bit of playing around with grep for Windows but I managed to compile a relatively complete list of filters and actions. Thanks for that.

Using this method it should be pretty easy to generate a complete list with arguments for the codex, why doesn’t someone who has access to bbpress.org add one? It wouldn’t include descriptions but it’d be a good starting point.

[circuit]

I only have one forum, so there is no point in BBPress giving me a seperate front page and Latest Disussions list. Is there an elegant way for me to integrate the sidebar into the forum listings page? I tried chopping up the templates but I can’t seem to get the code right.

Great video & very useful, but…

Followed the info with WPMU 2.7 & bbPress Alpha & ok except cookies not working… Logging into WP as admin I get the 3 bbPress cookies set (I do get others set as well – these are just examples):

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Then moving to bbPress I don’t get logged in. I can manually log in as admin (the db integration works fine) but if I look at the cookies set by bbPress they include:

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Despite the keys & salt between bbPress & WP being the same, the names & content of the above cookies are different between WP & bbPress.

So, looking at the above it’s not surprising the login between WP & bbPress isn’t successful. So, where did I go wrong or what is the problem?

Thanks.

If you have a config.php file in an directory above it, temporarily rename that config.php to x_config.php or some other name. Now complete the bbPress installation and then again rename x_config.php to config.php.

That solved my issue.

[A1ex]

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php_e-issue#post-16264

But there instead of wp-blog-header.php and wp-wp-blog-header-bb.php must be used wp-load.php and wp-load-bb.php files.

[Daniel Juhl]

Hi again,

Very strange – it worked for a while, and then broke completly down. I then deleted the database-copy, made a new copy and installed bbPress again, and now it works, with the correct settings. As far as for now, I can’t say anything about what went wrong. But thanks for your replies!

What is the .mo file named?

[supreme87]

Hi all,

I have a problem with localization of forum.

/**

* bbPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

*

* Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen

* language must be installed to a directory called “my-languages” in the root

* directory of bbPress. For example, install de.mo to “my-languages” and set

* BB_LANG to ‘de’ to enable German language support.

*/

define(‘BB_LANG’, ‘it_IT’);

I have edited the bb-config.php and made the directory called “my-languages” in the root directory of bbpress with inside my languages file, but i didn’t see any change.

I have make a deep integration with wp 2.7

Thanks

[webdevelopment]

so i guess i answered my own question… apparently you have to use the unstable “alpha” version of bbpress with the latest version of wordpress:

Download

[webdevelopment]

i have wordpress 2.7 and im in the middle of the bbpress forum installation, however bbpress is asking for a secret key:

WordPress cookie secret key:

put your unique phrase here

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

the problem is that since wordpress 2.6 there exists 3 secret keys for wordpress and bbpress is asking for just one and bbpress has the name of the variable wrong “SECRET_KEY”:

/define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

what should i do? i calso cant find which version of bbpress i have, is there a different version that i need?

[supreme87]

I have found the problem! When i have pasted the auth key etc in wp-config.php I have been pasted the BB_AUTH_KEY etc

Be sure that in wp-config.php there is that :

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘x’);

and not:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘x’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘x’);

[supreme87]

I have the same problem of cookies of previous version of alpha bbpress, with this 1.0.6

[chrishajer]

Where do you see “Hot Topics”? I see Hot Tags and Latest Discussions. Which one do you want to hide?

Yes, it’s possible. You need to find the section in your template that displays them, then just remove that section. For Latest Discussions, it’s in the template file front-page.php. Removing that whole section won’t hurt anything.

If you remove Hot Tags, you will have a big white space over there. After removing that from the template file, you might want to adjust the CSS to make the other part of the page wider so it uses the space where the tags used to be.

Basically, it’s all done in your template files. If you’re using the stock template, you should make a copy of that, then make your modifications there.

Hi all

I have the same problems with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0.6 alpha, if I login in wordpress it logout in bbpress and viceversa.

I have put in wp-config and bb-press the same auth key – secure key and logged in key

the salts too in installation of bbpress (i have take that from wp-admin/options)

and then i have added in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

and in the bb-config.php

// Start integration speedups

// WordPress database integration speedup

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ”;

Any Solutions? Really Thanks

@chrishajer: Do you know if the next release of bbPress will have integration with the later WP versions? I wish I’d just kept my old installation. ):
