I have successfully integrated TinyMCE to my editor in bbpress, which I found that is so easy.

However, when doing the submit, TinyMCE submits the HTML code on behind to bbpress. I found that each line TinyMCE created a <p>…</p> tags, but bbpress is not allowing this. Finally, <p></p> comes to the screen when viewing the post.

Is there any workaround for this?

kernow: Its better we did. As BBpress and WordPress both have ability to auto generate config file we get the benefit of getting the latest modifications.

I updated my web site today to bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1. Cookie integration settings got out of whack and I put them back, but now the two are in conflict.

I’ve verified (by clearing cookies and watching as new cookies are registered) that both bbPress and WordPress are using the same cookie for login info — same name, path, etc.

However, when logging into WordPress I am logged out of bbPress, and when logging into bbPress I am logged out of WordPress. So they appear to be using the same cookie and overwriting it as I login to each section.

Note that the SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_KEY definitions in each respective config files are identical.

The cookie seems to be broken up into three parts: user name, a shortish numerical code (in decimal), and a long hexadecimal code. The name and shortish numerical code are identical between bbPress and WordPress but the long hex code changes every time. Does this help provide a clue?

It would depend on how often the RSS feed is cached by the WordPress plugin.

Good luck!

[mrhoratio]

Hey bobby, thanks for the links to RSS aggregator plugin. The only problem I see is synchronizing the feed. For example, if you edit the post in bbPress, will it automatically update it in the WordPress loop also? Or will you have to manuallly edit it in WordPress also. I will have to investigate and see.

[bobbyh]

That would work. A quick Google search found this under #3:

The download is here:

I’ve never used it, but it looks like what you want.

Good luck!

[mrhoratio]

Now that I think about it, is there a way to do this by pulling the RSS free from bbPress into WordPress? What do you think?

[adaptiman]

Doreen – could you post the solution? It’s maddening to know you fixed it and yet didn’t share your solution.

[mrhoratio]

Hey bobby, thanks. This is close to what I want to do, but I’d like to be able to combine select forum posts and blog posts into a single list. Maybe there’s way to modify the plugin to do so?

[bobbyh]

This isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but it lets you put a list of your bbpress topics in a sidebar on your WordPress site:

How can I modify my bbPress so that it doesn’t show the IP Address posts are from?

[mrhoratio]

Hello everyone,

I want to display a bbPress forum topic within The Loop in WordPress. The idea is that it would appear as an excerpted blog entry like the others, but when you click the permalink, it would take you to the corresponding bbPress forum topic page where you can post comments.

For example, it would be great if there was to query bbPress forum topics that are tagged with “front page”, and display those forum posts together with blog posts within WordPress in chronological order.

The best scenario would be a little “Show in WordPress Loop” checkbox that you can check next to individual forum topics in bbPress. That way you can select certain topics to link to on the WordPress front page.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? Would this be possible with a plugin of some kind?

[pulk99]

just upgraded to 0.9.0.2, and it’s working again. not sure if it was the bbpress update or the 2.5.1 wordpress update.

[affacat]

Not sure what you mean – the code I had above should do what I say it did, it just didn’t do what I wanted.

That said? I now have it working the way I wanted.

This code:

Gets the bbPress avatar, if it exists.

Checks to see if it’s an Identicon…

No? Display it.

Yes? Display Gravatar… but with the URL of the Identicon set as the default in case none exists.

Problem solved.

Note: I believe Gravatar recently integrated Identicons as a default setting, so you can probably do this now without Identicons setup in bbPress by modifying the code some. But this works.

PROFILE.PHP:

$ava = avatarupload_get_avatar($user->ID,1,1,0);

if ( avatarupload_get_avatar($user->ID) && !(usingidenticon($user->ID) )) {

avatarupload_display($user->ID);

}

else {

echo bb_get_avatar($user->ID,48,$ava[0]);

}

POST.PHP:

$ava = avatarupload_get_avatar(get_post_author_id(),1,1,0);

if ( avatarupload_get_avatar(get_post_author_id()) && !(usingidenticon(get_post_author_id()) )) {

avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id());

}

else {

post_author_avatar(48,$ava[0]);

}

Hi,

I am looking for a similar theme to wordpress blog’s default theme. Anyone has it for bbpress ?

Thanks.

[enquirer32]

I’m using the latest versions of bbpress and WordPress. I intalled bbpress to be integrated with WP. however, when I click over from the WordPress site to the bbpress site I am not already logged in. Is there a list to troubleshoot to see why this happening? I have done as much as I can do so far (eg checking secret words etc).

More irritatingly I find that I’ve been logged out of the WP site when I go back.

Thx.

Hello,

Currently I am translating bbPress.po (.pot) file into Portuguese Brazilian [language] pt_BR . Soon I will post an URL for live demo site.

For now I would like to know how one can add a language to bbpress-i18n at Automattic?

[Sam Bauers]

_ck_ has started this plugin:

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

[kernow]

I’m currently running bbpress vs. 0.9.0.1. Do I have to rename the config file for bbpress when I upgrade?

[ashishmohta]

What are the changes we need to do in theme?

[baptiste]

I tried to post this in the comments off the plugin homepage, but Extend won’t recognize my login. Weird.

Anyway – if you are running 0.9 and plugin browser, you probably see no version listed for all plugins in the ‘Local’ column. This is due to a change in how bbpress stores the plugin paths in the DB (_ck_ clued me into that) The fix is easy. In the main plugins-browser.php file, add ‘user#’ before pb– or pb– on lines 681 (in the preg_replace statement) and line 698 ($plugin) Once I did that, the browser worked fine with correct version info, showed updates that existed, and installed them no problem.

I’m sure the WordPress plugin update stuff will make it into bbpress soon, negating the need for this plugin (to a point – the browse part is still great) but until then – this will get you going.

I suspect this is the the same problem as you or someone else had with a non-standard template with bbpress.

Make sure in your header.php template that you have

<?php bb_head(); ?>

just before the

</head>

or bbPress plugins won’t work properly (like you are seeing now)

[Janka]

Hi, i have the bbpress 0.9.0.2 installed.

I try to enable BBemoticons for Private Messaging Plugin.

I modified the file bb-emoticons.php add at last line this command:

bb_add_filter(‘pm_text’, array(&$bbemoticons, ‘convert_smilies’));

I have add the line:

<?php bb_do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?>

into file pm-user-form.php

And i have add the line:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”‘. bb_get_option(‘uri’) .

‘my-plugins/bb-emoticons.php?bb_grins_output=javascript”></script>

before

</head>

in the file header.php of template.

I see the emoticons in the private messages

but when i click on the smile,

i see an exception in the javascript

the plugin run correctly in the normal message of forum.

Can you help me?

Thank’s

[smoothmoniker]

yes please!

I’d even be willing to kick in some cash if we want to get together, hire someone to write it, and then donate the code back to the bbpress project.
