Hello,

like the theme directory of wordpress.org, it is possible to have a theme directory in bbpress.org ?

Bye,

Fred

bbPress should not tamper with your WordPress tables.

The user data is kept separate.

Ah, I guess it’s important to point out that just like bbPress 0.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.6, it’s also that bbPress 1.0 is not comptible with WordPress 2.5

Major cookie changes.

WordPress 2.5.x <-> bbPress 0.9

WordPress 2.6.x <-> bbPress 1.0

Hi Chris,

thanks! Yes, which is odd you asked since I was going to ask about that, and then just saw the posts about it on the forum. I have bb 0.9.0.2 and I’m probably going to upgrade to the new alpha to make sure it’s fully integrated.

I’ll post when done and post any problems, or successes. Thanks for stopping by though, getting more into developing full WP and BBPress themes as one package, so I’ll be using it a hell of a lot more.

There are radical internal changes in 1.0 with the switch to the BackPress core, not to mention the cookie changes and some major db function changes which consolidated all the meta tables into bb_meta. The code is untested against most plugins. It’s a much bigger change IMHO from 0.9 to 1.0 vs the older 0.8.3 to 0.9.0 change.

However I don’t think it will take much to get it the final stamp of approval, maybe even late this month or early next, depending how many more features Sam wants to put into it. There’s still a whole bunch of open tickets:

https://trac.bbpress.org/report/3

I just don’t want it to be rushed to an official release like 0.9 was, which was followed shortly by 0.9.0.1 and 0.9.0.2 and then 0.9.0.2 sp1 – that’s embarrassing and makes bbPress look amateur.

Let’s get it right this time – report those bugs at http://trac.bbpress.org

I’m getting a funky error:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I’m trying to integrate WP 2.5.1 and BB 1.0

It only started when I edited the bb_config file bbpress was working smoothly as a stand-alone… I think

[Hellweaver666]

You can just change the register links in the wordpress template to point to the bbpress login and registration forms… that’s easy enough (you can even copy the login form code into the template directly and it seems to work).

The problem is, how to get users back to the URL they came from after they login (by default they seem to get bounced to the forum home page instead)… any ideas?

[Hellweaver666]

I’m running alpha at the moment, just wondered, when you say it’s not ‘stable’ what do you mean exactly?

It seems fairly stable to me from what I can tell…

I have not seen the author around in a while. I would say if it’s not your work, you should not upload it to the extend section. I didn’t see it there already. Of course, someone could look at this plugin and extend it. It’s GPL2 licensed.

There was a problem with the plugin creating a site map when there are lots of posts; it slowed down posting. Maybe it could be fixed to allow creation of the sitemap via cron or via a GET request, rather than randomly when a post is marked favorite. There was also a problem with certain characters not being encoded in the URL if you’re not using permalinks.

Lots of work could be done to extend and improve the plugin, then it could be released and posted to the bbPress extend/plugins section.

[chrishajer]

Turns out the main index.php WordPress template had been overwritten with a static page, and that was being served instead of templated content being served from the database. It had nothing to do with bbPress integration.

[flywitness]

actually, the admin link only works if you login on the bbpress page.

bummer

This plugin is meant as a temporarily workaround until the bug can be fixed in WordPress – it will replace “anonymous” with the user login.

Install it on the WordPress side:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: changes anonymous to member's login if display name missing  (plugin for WordPress)

*/

function no_anonymous_members($author) { // this is a WORDPRESS plugin, not bbPress

global $comment;

if (empty($comment->comment_author) && !empty($comment->user_id)) {$user=get_userdata($comment->user_id); $author=$user->user_login;}

return $author;

} add_filter('get_comment_author', 'no_anonymous_members');



if ( !function_exists('get_userdata') ) :

function get_userdata( $user_id ) {

global $wpdb;



$user_id = absint($user_id);

if ( $user_id == 0 )

return false;



$user = wp_cache_get($user_id, 'users');



if ( $user ) {

if (empty($user->display_name)) {$user->display_name=$user->user_login;}

return $user;

}

if ( !$user = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID = %d LIMIT 1", $user_id)) ) {

return false;

}

_fill_user($user);

if (empty($user->display_name)) {$user->display_name=$user->user_login;}

return $user;

}

endif;

?>

(The real answer of course is to insert the user_login when the comment is posted, however I cannot find a suitable hook in WordPress’s comment-template.php so I am doing it by completely replacing the get_userdata function in pluggable.php)

[_ck_]

I guess I can create some code to fix the display name issue in existing databases. Give me a few minutes.

update: actually it’s as simple as this in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE wp_users SET display_name=user_login WHERE display_name=''

or via a mini-plugin:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Fix Anonymous Members

*/

function fix_anonymous() {global $bbdb;

$bbdb->query("UPDATE $bbdb->users SET display_name=user_login WHERE display_name='' ");

} add_action('bb_init','fix_anonymous');

?>

save as _fix-anonymous.php (with leading underscore)

you only need to upload and run bbpress once with it loaded (no activation required) and then delete the plugin or it will slow down bbPress.

I am now writing a WordPress plugin to fix this without having to duplicate all the names in the table which is a horrendous waste of space.

[_ck_]

Well we know what causes “anonymous” to show up, it’s because bbPress is not creating the display name for the user when the user registers on the bbPress side and then goes to use WordPress.

The question is, why is this suddenly happening when bbPress is supposed to create it already. This might be a question for Sam – but I hope he can reproduce the problem.

Did you add the above code to insert the display name?

I hope I didn’t lead you wrong by implying you should try 2.6 because that will be incompatible with bbPress 0.9

2.6 has compatibility with bbPress 1.0 alpha but a few plugins won’t work with the alpha yet (like bb-topic-views)

Oh and the display name persists in 1.0 alpha and is on line 487 in pluggable. I’ve filed a trac report:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/922

[playwithsticks]

it was just after installing bbpress for the first time

[chrishajer]

The intended URL is where you expect to access the forum on the internet. Maybe this would be a good place for it:

http://affluentdiva.com/forums/

The way you have the folders now, it would be this:

http://affluentdiva.com/bbpress2008/bbpress/ which looks a little silly. You don’t need that bbpress2008 folder there. And maybe you don’t want the other folder to be called bbpress. What if you change forum software in the future? Better to use forum or forums instead.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think iframes work very will with bbPress. Are you trying to put the forum in an iframe?

<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">

<frame name="site" src="http://hlvdubs.iamanerd.org.uk/forum" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize scrolling="auto">

<noframes>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">



</body>

</noframes>

</frameset>

 

I think this is part or all of the problem. Don’t try to access bbPress from an iframe. You’ve got two different domains going on there.

[chrishajer]

There is a sitemap plugin for bbPress:

http://boakes.org/download/bbpress_sitemap.txt

This is old and I can’t find a link to it on the author’s site any more, but there it is.

[playwithsticks]

After installing bbpress I was able to sign in to bbpress with my regular admin info but something has happened with my wordpress backend now that it does say I’m logged in but I cannot get to the admin area. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue without completely reinstalling both WP & BP

[hails2008]

Hello

I’ve uploaded the uncompress file to my home/XXXX/bbpress2008/bbpress

and when it says go to your intented url – what is my intended url?

New to this so please bare with me….thanks

[chrishajer]

Very nice integration of the theme.

I noticed you are using WordPress 2.6. If someone logs in to WordPress or bbPress, are they logged in on the other (either bbPress or WordPress)? That is the level of integration most people are looking for, in addition to theme integration, and the latest word was that integration with WordPress 2.6 does not work. How did you do it?

[chrishajer]

You don’t really need a plugin to install Google Analytics in your bbPress forum. Just paste the code from Google Analytics right before the closing </body> tag in your theme’s footer.php. No plugin required. I never understood the need for Analytics plugins for WordPress either. Editing a template file is pretty basic.

[chrishajer]

OK, please let us know if you need more help.

[mciarlo]

I couldn’t tell you, but I am using bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1.

I am going to update to 2.6 and see how it goes…

[lstelie]

Hello,

A naïve question :

I use another forum script and would like to prepare a migration to BBpress when BBpres is ready for real use

If i integrate BBpress alpha 1.0 with my WP 2.6 (check, learn, but don’t put it in use yet by my uers) am I at risk to break something in my WP install (tables ?)

So can I safely (for the WP part) integrate a BBpress alpha 1.0 with a WP 2.6 ?
