I thought it already did that?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/46

Admins can configure maximum allowed file size

(bytes) and dimensions (pixels) of images from

within the admin page (credit: Sam Bauers).



Images that exceed maximum dimensions are

automatically resized (and sharpened if truecolor

images).

Or are you asking for it to do something different than that?

Could I have entered the path wrong in the config file?

I have http://www.my_site.com/forums and in the forums sub-directory I installed bbPress.

Should it have been http://www.my_site.com/forums/bbpress?

I just finished installing bbPress with WordPress MU and did the integration on install. Problem is, I can’t find the bbPress admin panel. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi,

I’m in the process of installing bbPress. I’ve uploaded it to my server and now I’m at the install.php step 1.

So, here’s my question: Should the info on the first page match the info I placed in the config.php file? Should User Name be the same? Forum name be the same? And, where it says location does that mean http://www.my_really_cool_site.com/forums?

This may sound like a weird question, but I don’t want to chance screwing this up.

Thanks

You just need a link in your “Pages” area to http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/ – it’s installed properly so you just need to link to it so people know it’s there.

I’m not sure about the rest of your questions. bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it doesn’t become part of your WordPress installation. To make it look like your WordPress installation you need to do some CSS work. As for the creating new topics, I did not receive a confirmation for me account creation, so I could not log in to try that. Is mail being sent from the server? I waited about 10 minutes but still no confirmation.

In management, I can create a forum. But when I try to visit it, I get the “Doh” WP page!

I think the bbPress Admin page is not able to create the folders, etc that are needed (or really, is not creating). I think the folder has the right permissions set, but I don’t know what going on really.

Sorry this is vague.

Here’s a link to my forums: http://jackhammr.org/bbpress

BG: bbsync, avatar upload and some custom code. If you want some help doing it, just start a new topic.

[Andrew]

Outstanding. Well done.

[honewatson]

Nice clean layout. Did you do the theme?

How about some gravatars?

I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?

(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)

It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. I tried searching a bit, but I can’t seem to find a decent tutorial on how to use the WordPress header, footer and background color (of the main content box). Can you guys help me a bit in the good direction?

I have already installed bbpress, using the same database as wordpress and I configured config.php to match the integration.

Regards,

DM

[bloggerdesign]

fel64, did bbPress automatically add the aviators in the comments when you hooked it all up? Or how did you get that working?

[chrishajer]

I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:

http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29

That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.

That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:

`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress&#8217;;

Hi,

I am running a WP site and trying to install BBpress, but when I run the install.php file, I keep getting the “already installed” error.

Here are some things I’ve already tried:

I created a new test directory and installed a fresh WP out of box, and then tried installing BB press–same error

I checked my databases–the only two I have are my two Word Press DB’s none of which seem to have any “bb_” references to them.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Here is a copy of my config.php file that I am using in my test directory:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘**************’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Area Mom Forums’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘*********’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘********’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

require_once(‘/public_html/test/wp-blog-header.php’)

?>

9rules has to be the best 😡

Do you have the plugin for wordpress to bring over the registrations of bbpress into wordpress? I think that should do the trick.

In WordPress, just publish a page with no content in it. That gives you a blank page. That is not going to help accomplish what you want though. You can put an iframe in a WordPress page, but I don’t think the bbPress software will work there. All the links will be “out” of the WordPress page and iframe.

It was discussed here about a month ago:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unable-to-log-in-in-iframes?replies=9#post-11042

Getting your bbPress install to look like your WordPress install takes a bit of work. It’s not as simple as putting it in an iframe.

Hello again everyone,

Thanks again for helping to get my forum up.

My question now is, how can I add a new page to my wordpress site that doesn’t have my blog entries on it? You know, like it would still have the site logo at the top, and the sidebar on the right, but then the main part of the page would be blank. The idea is that I would then put my forum on that page, inside an inframe. But I just want to know how to add that blank page.

Thanks very much.

http://bbpress.de is not an official site, and they seem not to be interested in a good localization. The “bbPress Deutschland” makers created a language file a few months ago, but this translation is not complete, it contains a lot of typing mistakes, some terms which are easy to misunderstand for a german reader and some wrong texts too. It hasn’t never been updated.

I love bbPress (and sometimes, I hate it), so I decided to create my own and better translation. I had worked only a few hours on it, and the result is a translation much better than the bbpress.de one.

The existance of a language file is a reason to use bbPress. People should know which translations are existing, and I think, they should know it from an official site. At the moment, there is no “official” german site, but only the bbpress.de. This is a project of “inpsyde”, the makers of wordpress-deutschland.de. A few weeks ago, they tried to deliver a “german WordPress version” with an advertising plugin silently, which was called by some people – me included – as a kind of “plugin spam”. (It wasn’t announced and not marked as an advertisement for the german company LinkLift.) This attempt to create an “official looking german WordPress release with advertising” failed, there was a great resistance from the german WordPress users. This is a strong reason for me not to trust those people anymore. I want the translation to be as free as possible from the early days on.

The header.php file is from the bbpress-forum template supplied by Trent at http://trentadams.com/2007/02/10/theme-release-onvertigo/#comment-347

I reinstalled everything, including the bbpress-forum theme, but with the anarchy.js line deleted. Now everything is fine. I think you might need to have a word with Trent about the purpose of the onvertigo.com/anarchy_media/anarchy.js

Anthony

[Sam Bauers]

Were you aware of this site:

http://bbpress.de/

?

[afdenahy]

Thanks – yes, I found this in header.php:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://onvertigo.com/anarchy_media/anarchy.js”></script&gt;

I’ll try deleting it and see if it stays deleted. Apparently onvertico.com belongs to Trent Adams, a bbPress enthusiast – hmm.

I miss a forum here which allows bbPress users to announce their bbPress localizations.

Today, I’d done a localization of bbPress 0.8.3 to the German language (that link goes to my german blog posting with a post explaining my “translation philosopy”) which is available for free download now, but there is no good place to announce it. It isn’t exactly an installation issue, not a plugin and (hopefully) not something that causes trouble. At the moment, there is no good place for posting it, not even a “General” forum…
