2.7 and 0.9.0.3

I had a heck of a time getting the logins to work properly, the issue was that I would get a wordpress_logged_in_* cookie for /forums but never a wordpress_* for /forums

In the bb-admin wordpress integration I set the forum URL to the wordpress URL http://superturbodiesel.com/ and the same in the wp-admin for bbPress integration plugin and it worked.

Some other changes, I fixed the bb_mail function to use a from envelope for sendmail as the fifth parameter to mail. It should certainly be an install option

bbPress is light and simple but IMO still has a long way to go. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty with some patches. I will probably do a wp integration template and usernames in quoted text (from the QUOTE extension).

I migrated from phpBB out of pure spite. Every upgrade on my stock install would break and the fact that it had to be manually patched was ludicrous. As a professional PHP programmer bbPress is much easier to work with and the coding practices are straightforward.

[winmutt]

The problem with these solutions is that none of them work with more than one _GET parameter. Particularly with the QUOTE extension. Also, it wasn’t over clear how a larger forum would handle duplicate subject topics.

[winmutt]

No, I did not want that functionality at all. My post was simply an easy way to integrate an existing wp theme.

RE PHP4 post earlier, php4 is all but deprecated, its EOL has already passed, tell your host to upgrade!!!!

[deadlyhifi]

I’ve got bbpress 0.9.0.3 installed – and have 850 ish registered users.

I’ve just installed WP MU 2.6.5

Can I integrate the two? I’ve read/heard various things about that.

If not (as I suspect on a purely luck basis), should I wait for WPMU 2.7 to be released (soon I hope), and then BBpress 1.0 final before any integration is attempted?

And finally, can I do the integration with my users having registered from BBpress and not WPMU? Does the user database crossover work both ways?

thanks.

hi winmutt

did you also implementes the cross posting ?

I mean post an article in the blog and automatically doubbing it on the forum?

thanks

[winmutt]

To include the wordpress theme I simply included the header and footer files into the bbpress themes (deleting the rest of content in there) and then added the login to the header in the wordpress theme using <? if (function_exists(‘bb_login’)) ?>

You can see this at http://superturbodiesel.com/. The only problem I found was that you can’t login from the wp home page. In my case this is perfect as forum administrators are the only ones who can post in WP.

There was a lighttpd “pro” on the irc channel last week named “rockerdan”

There are also several threads around here about it:

I started out with my bbpress database being different from the wordpress database, but sharing the same wp_users.

But I seem to be having problems where new users on WordPress have no role in BBpress… and I get an error when trying to change their role: function.array-key-exists (same error as here.)

Is there an easy way to merge the bbpress database with wordpress since they use the same user list anyway? That way I can have the same setup you suggest in this video?

[hotforwords]

I have the same setup, running 2.7 and bbpress alpha 4. About half of my users got roles, half didn’t. And we’re talking about 15,000 plus users with no roles!

When I create a user in WordPress, the user has no role in bbpress and I get the errors above when trying to edit the user with no role. Even after logging in, there is still no role.

Hmmm…

Is there a way I can add the updated files from the latest trunk that you are talking about? I am not technical enough to understand svn.

Thanks!

[winmutt]

The easiest way I found to integrate the themes is to include the header and footer in the respective files from the wordpress theme folder. This can be seen @ http://superturbodiesel.com.

The only real issue I have is that the bbPress login is not available on the front page without adding static HTML. I decided to leave it as is, in my case I only want registered users posting in the forum.

[feastoffools]

Thank you guys so much for the feedback! Are any of you guys available (for hire) to upgrade our bbpress forums? Right now we’re running version 0.8.3.1 — really hope that version 1.0 will be ready to go soon.

Right now I’d just like to get it to work with version 0.9– thanks!

Another issue I notice is that a lot of our users don’t scroll down the page to post entries, and usually wind up putting the top category by default.

There have been a couple discussions in the past, but I don’t know of a plugin yet. Someone posted that they had something they used for this function, but it wasn’t ready for release.

0.9.0.3

bb-includes/pluggable.php

559: return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, ‘-f ‘.$from);

This will force php mail function to be sent from the bbPress configured email using the From envelope with Sendmail. This helps prevent spam filters from catching emails like forgotten passwords.

[winmutt]

I found other issues with this setup, particularly in passing more than one parameter via get. I went back to ?forum_id=1 type urls.

[TechGnome]

Well, I didn’t exactly dump phpBB per se…. but after looking at the two and what it would take to integrate into my site and get it to do what I wanted…. bbPress turned out the best way to go. What I did dump was Joomla! and WP (GASP! Did I just say that? Yes I did. I needed a forum more than I needed a blog. Last thing this world needed was yet another blog anyways.)

What plug in did you use? I’m still looking for something to mass delete users in bbPress.

[chrishajer]

You should submit a bug report or patch at trac, https://trac.bbpress.org/

[chrishajer]

What version did you install? I believe the option was added in 1.0-alpha.

Here is what it looks like in the 1.0 alpha versions:

There was a plugin available for the earlier versions I think.

Thanks for all the plugins as well

How about this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/counting-forums#post-21338

[chrishajer]

So, for example, you might have a different header on this forum page:

https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation

But you’d want to use that header on any of the topics when you click through to them, too?

Like on this page you would still use the installation header image?

Hi there everyone, right now we’re trying to restructure our wordpress blog and bbpress forums to allow blog entries to appear in the forums via Bbsync.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

Because of this need to have our blog entries appear in the forums, we’re restructuring our forums to tie into the blog entries.

Check it out here: http://www.feastoffools.net/community

Wondering if there is a way for parent forums to show all the entries in their subforums instead of showing entries specifically intended for the top parent category. Am I making sense?

Or is there a way to lock out people from making an entry on a top level forum (allow only subforum

Is there a way to have the top level forums count the entries in the subforums? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For topic_page_links() on the forum home page, I went to: /bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php -> line 932 and changed ‘show_all’ => false to ‘show_all’ => true

This allows me to show the pages of a post without popular topics shifting the entire forum to the right.

You can see it in action here: http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/

Most themes disable this tag as it messes up themes with popular topics.

My question is, if I have to change the default setting on a bbpress core page, that would indicate to me that there is a variable I can put within the tag… between the ().

Does anybody here know what I can put there so that I don’t have to change the core pages? ie: topic_page_links(show_all->true) or something like that.

Thanks!
