I’ve seen two or three seemingly unrelated problems pop up related to something like this:

if ( is_callable( 'glob' ) )

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin )

require($_plugin);

 

Seems like if there are no underscore plugins, this fails. I don’t follow the code exactly, but further up in that file, it defines BBPLUGINDIR if it’s not already defined as (basically) my-plugins/. But this line just says “if glob is callable, then go through the directory for all underscore plugins”. What happens if there are no plugins there? This would return false, maybe, instead of an array?

And, is there a good reason NOT to include a blank directory for my-templates and my-plugins? At least then people would know where to put stuff. I mean, what IS the reason? WordPress comes with wp-content/themes/ and wp-content/plugins/ directories, and by default, two themes and two plugins. That eliminates the possibility of something missing. Of course, people could delete those, but right off the bat, they wouldn’t and things would just work when they started out.

At the very least, I think this should be fixed to have a conditional looking for underscore plugins before looping through them (i.e. if there are none, you can’t loop through them.)

Maybe someone with a better read on it can explain to me exactly what’s happening.

I am interested to hear what this is. I’ve never heard of a secret between bbPress and WordPress…

What is it that you’re unable to do (other than access phpMyAdmin)?

[bbolman]

First: what is the “secret” option set in the WordPress database that bbPress asks for when setting up WP/BB integration in the installer?

Second: Is there some sort of easy way to access the “secret” value? At the moment, I can’t access phpmyadmin, so I’m wondering if there is some WordPress plugin or script that could do this for me?

That’s not the only way you can do this.

You can either use the wordpress header replacement technique, by which you use the wordpress header and any number of theme files, meaning that you can have your forums exactly where your wordpress content is, surrounded by your wordpress header and sidebars and footer, using the wordpress theme file, with a supplemental file to style bbPress differently. This is great because not only the stylesheet is shared but so are a bunch of the HTML-generating files, and your bbPress stylesheet is seperate so it doesn’t get in the way of anything.

You can also just copy your theme by duplicating the look in bbPress. I’d say it was a lot easier to change the CSS than it was to go through all the HTML-generating files and changing those to use the WordPress CSS, and then still adding more CSS.

Having just done both for two different clients, I’d personally recommend the first option; it’s going to be slower on the server, but faster to do (ie. cheaper to have done) also a lot more maintainable and thorough.

leeppp, I offer this sort of thing professionally. If you want me (or even someone else) to do it, just post your email and I’ll get in touch.

Yes you can however it is fiddly as it requires coding! It involves crafting a bbPress theme manually to make use of the same stylesheet and page structure as your WordPress theme. Your theme stylesheet will also need certain rules for bPress.

I found when developing my themes that bbPress will use template files from the default theme if they are non-existent in a theme. This means that you can keep the number of .php template files in the theme to a minimum of 3 php files for a 1 column theme or 5 php files for a 2 column theme (i.e. with sidebar).

If you had someone create your WordPress theme for you, then direct theme to bbpressraw.com since these themes are a bare-bones starting point for creating a new bbPress theme. They save some time in stripping down a bbPress theme to its bare essentials.

I would really love it if we could have some discussion on import/export functions for bbPress. The only current way to move posts around would be an database dump and that is not really the best way I was thinking about looking at the techsailor plugin for RSS import/export for wordpress and see if it would be possible to get bbPress into that format so you could even export bbPress and import as blog posts and comments (or vice versa). Obviously I would have trouble doing this with my minimal coding, but hopefully someone else has something to add!

Thoughts?

It doesn’t do much of anything to add define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.llamaslayers.net'); or define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'llamaslayers.net'); to the config.php file.

Edit: It works to remove the values of $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl

[fel64]

For some reason bbPress seems to think your theme is in root. I’d ask you to set the theme again, but, you know, what with not being able to log in …

so first of all, please add define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.llamaslayers.com'); to your config.php. Hopefully that’ll let you log in.

[fel64]

Can you link to the subdomain and copy your config.php to http://bb.pastebin.com/ so I can have a look please?

[Ben L.]

It’s just $bb->uri that I have to update, right?

[fel64]

You need to update your config.php file.

I had a custom-made theme designed for my blog and now want to install BBPress. Is there a way I can use the theme from my blog on BBPress so it all looks the same?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Ben L.]

I want to move my bbpress installation from a subfolder to a subdomain, but every time I try, I can’t log in and the theme is broken.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I had wordpress installed, i removed WP and uploaded BBPRESS to the same directory, put in my mySQL info, and it worked. I havent changed any setting,

but, i have actaully changed this already to fix another problem:

Your error *sounds* like this one:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-invalid-argument-supplied-for-foreach-in-bb-settingsphp-on-line-173

Site Management section under admin.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in domainsrcct.bizwwwrootcrookedhook.netforumbb-adminplugins.php on line 7

I have installed the online list plugin, and the print password to screen plugin. Could it be one of theses? If i check the forum, all the blugs are working properly.

I think it could just be my very raw install of bbPRESS, maybe I just have to change a few settings.

I’m running the latest version of BBPRESS

Any help is most appreciated

That fixed that one particular problem, but im still having the same problem with

[chrishajer]

I think what you’re looking for is bbSync, a WordPress plugin. Check this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync?replies=214#post-7922

Read all the way to the end, or start at the end and work backwards, since a lot has changed since he original post 7 months ago.

Can BBpress and WordPress have integration that allows for:

-Automatic forum postings driven from WordPress posts?

-Comments in WordPress posts powered by BBpress (so that comments left on WordPress posts also show up within the BBpress forum post of that article.

Your error *sounds* like this one:

Although the file and line numbers are different, that was related to underscore plugins. Maybe that’s related?

[chrishajer]

Thank you for this.

What version of bbPress are you using?

What were you trying to do when you encountered the error?

Were you upgrading to the new version (0.8.3.1)?

What plugins do you have installed?

[Graeme]

If you have created a theme based on one of my raw themes at bbpressraw.com you may not need to change it (see this post).

This will ultimately depend on any changes you made to the php files of the blank theme you downloaded.

[Trent Adams]

From Sam’s Post on the main bbPress blog:

Due to popular demand we have bundled a bug-fix release for bbPress. 0.8.3.1 (still called “Desmond” I believe) and it is now available for download.

This version is not the latest development release so as to remain as compatible as possible with the current version of WordPress.

The primary reason for the release is to fix some bugs in the MySQLi implementation. We anticipate that MySQLi support will be dropped in the future and to this end we have made MySQL the default extension instead of MySQLi.

A few other fixes and enhancements have also snuck in:

• Deep forum breadcrumbs with thanks to baptiste
• More consistent topic labeling methods – users of the support forum plugin will probably need to upgrade to version 2.3.3
• Some fixes to stop orphaned sub-forums from disappearing from all view
• There is now one of those fancy checkboxes to mark a user as a bozo

A couple of those changes will affect existing themes. If you have questions about adapting your theme to be compatible with the new topic labeling and forum breadcrumb features, then ask over on this forum topic.

[Sam Bauers]

Here you can post any questions about the new “forum breadcrumb” and “topic label” template functions introduced in version 0.8.3.1

For starters, the best thing to do is just look at the way Kakumei was changed.
