Hi,

just wondering how to get my plugin listed on the bbpress website.

what are the steps I have to follow?

Thanks

Olaf

Most bb themes right now are hand-rolled.

I have created some “blank” themes which are a good starting point for hand-rolling your own theme. These are at my site bbpressraw.com.

Hi,

just finished the first version of my forum using bbpress:

PHP Scripting Forums

I use some plugins from this site and added also some function that only members can download files from my website (that was not a hard one)

[ajg]

So how did you fix this problem?

My bbPress and WordPress run on the same server.

WP RSS feeds do not have that problem.

All I get is:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity

Location: http://www.ajakirigolf.ee/foorum/rss.php

Line Number 2, Column 1:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!-- generator="bbPress" -->

^

I can not parse the forums RSS feed to other pages.

I haven’t tried this collatodo, but does this allow users to sort forum or posts on the front-page? I am a little slow

I don’t know how to write plug-ins, but I just installed bbPress and wanted to be able to approve new users. I messed around with the code just enough to get what I needed working, here are the changes I made:

Starting with the function bb_send_pass function in bb-includes/registration-functions.php: I added an optional third parameters, so the function signature now looks like:

function bb_send_pass( $user, $pass, $toAdmin = false ) {

If the toAdmin flag is set I want this email to go to me, not the requesting user. So, just above the “$message = …” line, I added this:

$recipient = bb_get_user_email( $user->ID );

$rawRecipient = $recipient;

if ($toAdmin)

$recipient = 'myemail@example.com';

I’m sure there is a better way to grab an administrator’s email, but like I said, I don’t know anything about bbPress… And what’s this about $rawRecipient? To make my life easier, I’m also including the email address in the email’s body (so I can forward it to the correct person without having to look up their info again). I did this by adding “Your email:” to the “$message = …” line:

$message = __("Your username is: %1$s nYour password is: %2$s nYour email is: %4$s nYou can now log in: %3

$s nnEnjoy!");

And then including “$rawRecipient” as the 4th parameter to the sprintf call at the end of the function. Again, you could get fancy here (only include the email address if it’s going to an admin, for example), but whatever, this works.

Okay, with that function done, we just need to change the registration code that calls it. I went to the bb_new_user function in bb-includes/pluggable.php. Just before that function returns there’s an “if ( defined (‘BB_INSTALLING’) )” check. The else case calls bb_send_pass (the function we just changed). Add a third parameter (sending ‘true’), and the registration code should now send an email to you instead of the newly registered user.

As a final touch, I updated the registration success page (bb-templates/kakumei/register-success.php in my case), telling the user that an admin will verify their request and then email them.

Hope this helps someone out.

I’m new to bbPress so apologies if this is covered elsewhere and my searching didn’t turn up a previous answer…

Is there any documentation or more complete explanation of what is meant by “just embed your bbPress install around your WP theme, it will be calling the wordpress stuff for the sidebar and then have your forum on something like a WP ‘page’.”?

[livibetter]

sub-domain? did you mean add-on domain?

You just need to move (re-install) all bbPress files up a level. If you installed them into public_html/konpaforum.com/bbpress/, then mv public_html/konpaforum.com/bbpress/* public_html/konpaforum.com/

If you want to integrate into WordPress, then leave them and install WordPress in public_html/konpaforum.com/, would be a good idea.

[alezla]

hey guys thanks, like goldfinger said everything is installed in a folder

titled bbpress. I’ve reinstalled in several places, but with no success. I

don’t know if its because im using a sub-domain not sure. Anyways I will

keep trying, I’m also going to try to install wordpress first. thanks again.

[goldfiinger]

You have installed everything to a sub folder called bbpress. If you want your index page to be the forum i think u may need to reinstall moving everything to the public_html folder rather than it being there within a folder called bbpress.

Other than that you could create a index page that just forwards the user to http://konpaforum.com/bbpress/

[chrishajer]

Oh yeah, this doesn’t look right (the path is wrong):

http://konpaforum.com/bbpress/

[livibetter]

Set

$bb->uri = 'http://konpaforum.com/bbpress/';

in your config.php

(edit: missing tailing semi-colon)

[alezla]

I have just installed bbpress everything seems to be going well. I have my

admin password and everything. But my forum seems to not be at the url I intend it to be, but at the index. My site’s address is konpaforum.com. I have to click on bbpress on the index page to get to my forums homepage. I also notice that when I type in konpaforum.com/bbpress in my browser everything is alright. This is the error message I receive from my hosting company:

[Thu Dec 27 20:34:49 2007] [error] [client 75.74.120.59] File does not exist: /home/alezla/public_html/konpaforum/404.shtml

Also how do i access my admin panel for my site. Thanks in advance.

Can I pull from two different WP blogs into one bbPress Forum?

[darkbob]

Hello,

I just finished to translate, download at : http://www.adilade.fr/ftp/bbpress-fr_FR-0.8.3.zip

I work with the german version.

[fel64]

No. Unlike '/bbpressfolder/' (I presume), 'wordpressuser' and 'wordpresspass' are not placeholders for your actual value: they are the literal values you will have there. Check your wordpress cookie; those are what they use. A part of the structure is:

wordpressuser_site-unique hash=your username

wordpresspass_site-unique hash=hash of your password

With his settings, bb should now be using that too.

[kaolin]

doesn’t that just make it so anyone who goes to bbpress can work as you?

[kaolin]

I just ran into this myself… Didn’t think to check here for a workaround. I have bbpress installed as /forum/ and my approach was to add an htaccess with the following:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)?$ /forum/$1.php [PT,QSA]

It seems to be working fine.

It has been fixed in trunk, but you may need to wait for 0.8.4.

I have tried to use pretty permalinks and am having no luck so far.

Could someone please help me

I tried using the

Options +MultiViews

and when I click on the links I get 404 Error.

Then I tried using the

rewrite-rules.php.

and I get:

blockquoteInternal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

blockquote

If you go to http://www.328solutions.com you will see it! (That is with the rewrite-rules.php)

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If you need more information please let me know! I really want to use BBPRESS as I love WordPress!!! And don’t really want to use any other forum.

oh btw, seasons greetings

Hi there,

Users can register and login in to my wordpress section of my site, and this automatically makes then a bbpress member also. The problem however affects only people whose user name contains a space in it. Though they are resisted members of both wordpress and bbpress, they cannot log into bbpress.

Any ideas?

[florille6]

Hi everybody,

The french website with the french translation files has closed, is there anybody with the files ? I’ve installed BBPress and now the only thing missing is the translation :o(.

[livibetter]

This is stolen from WordPress Extend Ideas. I made (or I should say I duplicated or pirated?) this for getting your ideas to be my motivations. But, while writing this I found out this not just “Ideas”, this actually is an application of how to have different themes for your forums and topics. And you can also have permalinks like /ideas/ or /ideas.php.

No modifications on core files, but need to add two files. 1 plugin file, some modifications on theme.

You can see this “Ideas” on my forums. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see it. Click on “Got an Idea?” or “Ideas for bbPress” (read the URIs, notice the differences?).

This is not ready for a release, however you can download it from repository and read this draft documentation (if you want to play with it).

And you can post your ideas for “Ideas” or others.
