This does not appear to be correct:

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.subventions.fr/wordpress';

Your wordpress site comes up at http://www.subventions.fr/ so the wordpress part is superfluous. I think you’ve got a path problem somewhere. Normally you install bbPress like this:

/var/www/subventions/wordpress/

maps to http://www.subventions.fr/

/var/www/subventions/wordpress/forum/

maps to http://www.subventions.fr/forum/

forum is a subdirectory of wordpress in a typical integrated setup. Is that your setup? If so, then your config is wrong.

[adriengeille]

ok here is my config.php file

<?php

// Vous pouvez faire plusieurs installation sur une meme base de donnees en leur donnant un prefixe unique

// 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.subventions.fr/forum/&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Le forum des subventions aux entreprises’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@subventions.fr’;

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

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

$bb->gmt_offset = -2;

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

Add this to your sites root directory .htaccess file.

This assumes that your bbPress install is in a subdirectory of your sites root called “forums”.

These rules need to be added before any WordPress rules.

The rewrite will work, but bb_repermalink() will change the URL so that it appears as it normally would.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

[PetLvr]

Can someone please advise what my .htaccess should me?

I have a blog – http://PetLvr.com/blog/ – and this is the .htaccess

‘php_value upload_max_filesize 2M

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /blog/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

‘

I have installed the bbPress at – http://PetLvr.com/blog/forum/

Everytime I try to post or even see the welcome 1st post, it redirects to the /blog/ front page.

What needs to be done?

Thanks!

Hello,

I need a little help, if possible. I am trying to integrate a WordPress blog with BBpress. I have placed BBpress in a subdirectory of WordPress and followed the instructions for sharing cookies. But still, when I go back and forth, I have to continually re-log in to each site.

When I look at my cookies, they are definitely not the same. For the blog I get this (and one other similar one)

wordpressuser_b458245343e06b7fa7cd00d37af29401

For the BBpress, I get this (and one other similar one).

wordpressuser_4e7fbe834162925f74c6c2e053468ef6

Any ideas as to what I could have possibly done wrong?

Thanks,

Kay

[mciarlo]

Oh wow, thats truly a great compliment. Thank you ck!

[mr_cynical]

I want to create a new user role on my forum, as a basis for fiddling with the private forums plugin. Essentially I want to be able to give some users on my forum a specific role (in addition to ‘member’) that will allow them to access specific forums without giving them mod/admin powers. I’ll need more than one new role (it’s for a Guild Wars alliance forum, and each guild needs to have its own private section).

I’m fairly confident as to how to modify the private forums plugin to enable what I want – all I need to know is how to create the new user roles to enable this.

I’ve managed to establish that add_role is the bbPress function I want, but (knowing absolutely no php) I have no idea how to use it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

[lecolibri]

I have BB en WP sharing the same database, but loggin in/out is only possible through WP…

The configuration is as follows:

WordPress address: http://www.some-directory

Blog address: http://www.some-directory/blog

BBPress is installed in:

http://www.some-directory/discussions

Of course, $bb->wp_siteurl and $bb->wp_home are set correctly.

Stange thins is, that when I use a trailing slash after the $bb->wp_siteurl address, I can logout once via BB, but the logout only affects BB and not WP. Furthermore, logging in again is still impossible from within BB.

Might it be, that I need to set some cookie paths?

Thanks,

robert.

Not that I know of, I was looking for one and was planning one as my first plugin before we decided not to use the system on my forums .

I say go for it , my current bbpress motto is: “If _ck_ did it, it’s good”… So I trust you more than I trust myself.

[_ck_]

Ugh sorry.

I will have to create a bunch of fake posts to try to test a similar environment.

Because of the way bbpress calculates those pages, this is a very tricky process (also a very annoying process).

If all you are trying to affect is just the front page, there is a direct hack for the core you can do which should not affect any other page and allow all other plugins to work properly.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/3?replies=15#post-346

In theory it will work better than any other plugin method.

I’ve got my hands full right now working on an advanced user tracking program to replace simple onlinelist that works across wordpress+bbpress.

Oh you were one of the sites that inspired the idea for the list mciarlo!

How about mine .

[lecolibri]

The forum as used at the Hogeschool Leiden (Netherlands). It’s used in connection with WP, so both are styled alike.

<www.golevhsl.textdriven.com/discussions/>

and

<www.golevhsl.textdriven.com/discussions/>

for the blog

All credits go to BBPress though! Wonderful app!

[neyoung]

Got it working. I ended up doing a fresh install of bbpress. I must have botched some file without knowing it.

They are starting to bloat, now nearly 66k

I wonder if 1.2 will break 70k.

> A few silly questions:

> Changing or adding hot tags. Whats the procedure?

When a topic is added, the user can add tags upon creation. I think each user can also delete tags they have added themselves. As admin, you can add or delete tags on any topic when viewing the topic. So, you can delete or add a tag. Was there something else you needed to do?

To create a new topic, just create one as a user or as the admin user. There’s no specific place in the admin panel to do it. It’s just done in the forum.

I guess it depends what you are looking to do. I know from other posts you have seen what other people have done to change the look of their forum. So, anything is possible. You want to avoid changing core bbPress files so that when you upgrade those changes aren’t lost.

You start by changing the template files. Default template files are found in bb-templates/kakumei/. To create your own template, create a directory called /my-templates/ (on the same level in the filesystem as bb-templates). Then, in there, create a folder which will be the name for your template, so maybe something like ronjroy. Your directory structure would look like /my-templates/ronjroy/ .

In that folder, put a copy of whatever file you want to modify, or put a copy of all the files from the default theme. I think at a minimum you need to have a style.css in this folder. IMPORTANT: modify the name of the theme by changing it at the top of the style.css file. Maybe you want to call it “Ron J Roy”. Change this line (at least) at the top of style.css:

Theme Name: Ron J Roy

(I copied all the files over from the default theme, but I know now that’s redundant. If you are not making a change to a file, you don’t need a copy of it. You need style.css and then any file you want to modified. The file present in my-templates/{whatever} override the stock files. If a file is not present in your theme, the stock one is used.)

Now, select your new theme in your admin panel (Presentation > Themes, or navigate to bb-admin/themes.php). If it’s not showing up in the admin panel, then something is wrong in the files you copied over. Maybe you made a mistake in editing the style.css.

Now, you should see your new theme there by name anyway. Select it. Now, because your theme is just a copy of the stock theme with a new name, the screenshot is identical (you just copied over screenshot.png), and when you use your new theme, the forum will look exactly the same as the stock theme. That’s OK. The files in the my-templates/ronjroy/ are being used to display the template, but they’re unchanged from stock, so they look the same. At least you’re using your new theme. Now the fun begins.

Pick a file, any file, in my-template/ronjroy. Make a change to the HTML in a PHP file or to the CSS in style.css. Save it. Now refresh your forum. It should look different. If you broke something, fix it in your theme, or just change the theme back to stock and go back to stock, then figure out what you broke.

These are not official docs by any means. It’s stuff I figured out from using the software in the past year. Some of it may have changed in new versions since I started. One thing I have learned about installing forum software though: if you find that you can’t understand the software enough to modify it, move on to another project. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mean, if you’re not able to do the things you want, the way you want them, then why bang your head against the wall? Just install something else. It’s not worth the hassle. The hassles I was having with other software is why I ended up with bbPress. I grok it, I like it, and we get along fine.

(haha – longer reply to a long question)

“We’re pleased to announce the latest release of jQuery: jQuery 1.1.4. Barring any horrible mistakes, this release will be the last of the 1.1.x branch – leading us up to the release of jQuery 1.2 in September.”

New trac made for updating jQuery

[benbeltran]

works wonderfully … now to see if I can make it work for the bb-signatures plugin .

[chrishajer]

RonJRoy, bbPress and WordPress are not really related, and a wordpress.com login is necessary just for the Akismet key. The login for bbPress does not work at wordpress.com.

One thing I always thought was weird though is that the wordpress.com login works for trac.bbpress.org.

Glad you got it sorted. Since this is beta software, there are going to be some questions, and there are always people around to help.

[roniabirk]

I am pretty happy with mine here: http://www.fandom-rocks.com/forum

I am hoping to get the quotes bug resolved in a new version and maybe customize it a bit more soon. So far I have only added the notification plugin and incorporated the FirstRSS plugin on WP with the forum RSS links – unfortunately it looks like it is feeding all updates, not just the most recent few. I’ll keep knocking away at it.

[Null]

I think they are, the also switching enirely to jQuery with wordPress (I believe). I also think it’s better to switch and ditch prototype.

You probably have an incomplete WordPress+bbPress integration.

Go through the steps here and see what you missed:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-intregation-between-wordpress-038-bbpress-not-work?replies=7#post-10428

I bet it’s the cookies not being set to the same location.

[_ck_]

You might have a plugin interfering with something?

What do you have installed?

Note there is a bug in the way the “front page topics” plugin works in how it changes the number of topics shown on the front page. It’s method affects other calculations incorrectly. I would almost bet that’s your problem. I posted a fix somewhere around here…

Here it is. Remove front-page-topics plugin and use this instead:
