Does anyone know why I would get Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error when trying activate this as a plugin? I’m running bbPress 0.8.3…

[chrishajer]

Would this plugin help?

I just installed bb press at dailytestimony.net/forums with the latest stable version of WPMU in the root directory. When I goto a page such as dailytestimony.net/forums/profile/user I get the main blogs 404 error page. Do I need something in a .htaccess file or something?

EDIT: I get it with trying to view forums too, I am using name based permalinks.

EDIT2: Ok it seems the answer is simple I just needed to RTD (Read The Documentation), Options +MultiViews

<rant>IDK why they just couldn’t distribute a .htaccess file with that line with bbpress. Save people the trouble because they mention it in the documentation here but at the verry least it should like to the documentation where you set permalink options. </rant>

[chrishajer]

I would recommend adding a comment to the support forum for the plugin rather than posting it here.

[chrishajer]

bbPress will use the stock files for any template file not in your template folder. So, if you have a folder called bb-templates/custom, you could conceivably have just one file in there (say front-page.php) and then that file would override the stock files, but all other files would be used from the stock template.

*I think* – that’s how it used to work anyway.

Just found an answer here

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-email-addresses#post-16152

Should’ve searched more thoroughly!

[jfox95]

i installed it as a bbpress plugin instead of a wordpress plugin. working fine now

sorry!

Hi

Just installed bbPress and noticed that peoples email addresses are displayed on the profile pages. I would prefer if users email addresses were not displayed on their profile page.

However I cannot find where to edit what user information is displayed on the profile. All I can find in the profile.php is a call called bb_profile_data();.

Anyone know where I would find and edit what info is shown when this is called?

Thanks!

I currently use minibb. I have been running my forum for over 5 years and I love some of it’s features, absence of which would have made running my forum nightmare.

Here are some features I would like to see in bbpress:

1) Ability to place posts of new users in a moderation queue. Once I approve the users, posts by them will appear.

2) Ability to view/review all the posts/topics since I last checked. Once I check the topics/posts, they’ll not be displayed again.

I have a slightly modified version of a GPL’ed wordpress theme I use on my wordpress MU site dailytestimony.net

I want to add support forums an bbpress appears to be my best option however I need to intergrate bbpress into the site visually.

I would like to keep the header as close as possible including links to pages, ect. In the middle I want content to the left, tags to the right, and a simple footer to match the theme.

I am not sure what something like this goes for, but I’m hoping to barter for the work. The site this is designed for has ad space for a button in te admin panel footer I could trade for the theme or we can discuss other deals.

If you would be up for it shoot me an email support (a) (t) dailytestimony.net

[bobbyh]

thousande, you have to create a new theme (under /my-templates/) and then edit the header.php file in your new theme so that it doesn’t have the stuff inside this loop starting with <?php if ( is_topic() && bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

Actually, I think that bbPress doesn’t even currently support AJAX posting, so all those files are unneeded.

Good luck!

[chrishajer]

A quick search of the forum indicates it hasn’t been talked about here before. That doesn’t mean no one has done it, but it hasn’t been brought up here before.

[chrishajer]

To be able to call your WordPress header and footer, you will need access to the WordPress functions get_header() and get_footer(). To have access to WordPress functions, you need to include WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

You can skip the stuff about user integration and cookies if all you want to do it include your WordPress header and footer.

I tried reinstalling bbpress and sync, and nothing improved: http://www.adbeef.com/forum/

Okay, I have to get this out of my system. But first…

I have three websites with WP. I love it. I love you all. I’m not throwing a tantrum or threatening to run off and elope with Movable Type or Joomla!.

But, here is my issue…

I want to add bbPress to one of my sites and quite possibly another that I just started.

I know there are other forum software out there but really want this to stay in the family.

My problem is that fresh out of the box bbPress looks like a manual for a cold war Soviet submarine.

Getting past that I tried to integrate my WP header into my bbPress installation but the info available on integration is either outdated or above my ability. I integrated the WP header into my gallery software (Zenphoto) with no problem at all, so it doesn’t make sense to me that integration bbPress should be harder.

Also, the forum on WordPress.org looks so good that using it is just rubbing salt in my wounds. It is as though WP is saying ‘here is what you could do with bbPress if you had a team of developers and an unlimited budget, but since you are poor and working alone… you’re out of luck!’.

Okay, I’m done ranting.

Does anyone have experience adding their WP header and footer into bbPress? I would prefer to not integrate the databases. All I really want is for the header and footer to be consistent throughout the site. I can handle the CSS part of it.

Thanks!!!

Has anyone tried installing Typepad Antispam on bbpress? Will it work?

[chrishajer]

You would need to include WordPress in your bbPress installation to have access to all the WordPress functions.

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

Sharing the database does not allow you to use WordPress functions from within bbPress.

Hello,

I’m new to WordPress and BBpress but I like the simplicity involved in using them. Currently, I have a wordpress site and a bbpress site that share a database. The wordpress site uses the Event Calendar plugin+widget to display its calendar and in the readme for Event Calendar I found the following:

Add the

following code to your sidebar.php:



Event Calendar:

<li>

<?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>

</li>



Upcoming Events:

<li>Events

<?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>

</li>



If you are using an older template, then you should check that your HTML

header contains the following tag: <?php wp_head(); ?>

I’d like to add the Event Calendar to my BBpress sidebar; however, this solution doesn’t appear to work. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

[thousande]

thanks a lot bobbyh

actually, i really prefer the high speed of the forum…@bobbyh，can you tell me how to remove those boring js loadings?

i love bbpress so much… i hope it can make my posting life Simple, Fast and Elegant~~~~

[bobbyh]

I profiled the page, and you’re right, the bbpress forums load a number of JS files when the user is logged in:

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/add-load-event.js

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/prototype.js?ver=1.5.0

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/wp-ajax-js.php?ver=2.1-beta2

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/fat.js?ver=1.0-RC1_3660

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/list-manipulation-js.php?ver=440

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.1.3.1

* https://bbpress.org/forums/bb-includes/js/topic.js?ver=20080422

Downloading these files does slow down the “logged in” page compared to the “not logged in” page, but that’s a choice made by the maker of the theme for this site. It’s not a problem with the core software.

[jmurphee]

i am trying to use the K2 theme on a website I’m working on. i had punBB integrated with it with an event calendar. I’m wondering if it would be difficult to replace the punBB forum wit bbPress. i dont want to preserve users or anything…just replace it altogether.

For reference, this is the theme I’d like to use:

http://paymentsource.com

also, is it easy to add adsense to bbPress?

[thousande]

iv tried on ur website (https://bbpress.org/forums/)

i just use the default theme without any plugins…believe me…it is not a plugin or theme problem…

u can log out and click a topic in this forum….and then log in…try to compare the speed… i do think u can get the same question as i…

i hope all the bbpress users can try in that way…

i doubt that there is a cookie problem on bbpress…

[bobbyh]

Check your mysql version number. Is it really low?

[chrishajer]

Interestingly, I copied and pasted your SQL query from above, and used it on my installation unchanged, and it did not error out, it just return the expected results.

SELECT t.*, MIN(p.post_id) as post_id, p.post_text, 0 AS search_score FROM bb_topics AS t JOIN bb_posts as p ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE t.topic_status = '0' AND p.post_status = '0' AND ( (t.topic_title LIKE '%ja%') OR p.post_text LIKE '%ja%' ) GROUP BY t.topic_id ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 20

See the results here.

This is an old bbPress installation as well, 1.0-alpha from over a year ago.

[chrishajer]

1. Has this installation always been like this, or did something change recently?

2. What version are you running and when was it installed?

3. Did you change hosting or make any other changes to the installation?

4. Did your host upgrade PHP or MySQL or your .htaccess file or something else that would have affected this?

5. What plugins are installed, and does disabling them help with the error?

6. Does the problem described in the first post happen only when searching, or is that from something else and you now have the problem described in the last post as well?

7. Does the problem happen when using the stock theme?

You don’t have a normal run-of-mill type problem that can be easily and simply solved, so people are going to need more info to help.
