Website Updated! Comments welcome.

jQuery is really nearly 60k – if you use the 20k version it has to unpack itself on the visitors broswer everytime a page is loaded. Better to use unpacked version and gzip web compression instead.

It’s the same size as prototype but smaller in use when you consider prototype needs other libraries to do other functions that jquery has built in.

When again is bbPress switching to jQuery?

Or is this just a rumour?

Apparently WordPress has ditched the last scraps of prototype from the admin panel this very week:

Did you not see this?

From config.php:

// 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'

[ronjroy]

In reply, thanks for the direction. However, bbpress username/password are not accepted and I was directed to open an account with new information before a key was issued. I know this now!

[benbeltran]

try adding the www at the beginning to see if they’re logged

Like

urbanvelo.org/bbpress <– not logged in

http://www.urbanvelo.org/bbpress <– logged in

Could it be that? Maybe I Misunderstood the problem though.

My forum, http://urbanvelo.org/bbpress, asks users to “register or login” every time they visit, even though they’re already logged in. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what I screwed up to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

[ronjroy]

Good day,

Is my bbpress username and password the ticket to get the Akismet id? If so, is worpress.com the site I go to? Tried it and could find nothing. Find it frustrating to have to ask for answers that should not be made so hard to find. I’m sure more difficult situations lie ahead! Thanks…RJ

Hi Ganzua, Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. I believe, as you say, that it is not the best solution but, apparently, the only one at the moment (?).

I wonder how did other users managed to translate their integrated bbpress.

Thanks again!

Hi- I am looking for a way to filter posts by both category AND tags.

So Lets say I have 8 different forums and 8 tags. I am looking to filter the displayed posts so that users are only seeing the posts that are in the same specific forum AND with the same specific tag.

I don’t think there is a specific plugin to do this. Infact the only thing I can think of to do is to edit the BBPress core files. Perhaps by combining forum.php and tags.php. And maybe even modifying the function bb_repermalink()

Has anyone wanted to do this and succeeded? Any advice?

Unless you are editing wp-config.php directly, you do need to adjust the wordpress cookies somehow. Otherwise they point at the wordpress directory and not the web root.

There is a typo in his plugin url, this is the correct url:

“hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone found a way to integrate and change the language without errors?”

I managed to translate a wp-bb integration but I don’t know if you are going to like my workaround;

1. edit bbpress config.php and in define language section point to your wp language file with this code; ‘ define(‘BBLANGDIR’, ‘wp-includes/languages/es_ES.mo’); ‘ (change es_ES.mo for the name of your language .mo file)

2. edit wp language .po file and insert there your bbpress .po file. In other words, copy/paste all bbpress entries at the end of wp .mo file

3. Open with poedit and try to save this modifed file. You’re going to have +-100 duplicated entries in an error log. Delete all duplicated entries, one by one, so you can save.

4. When you save with poedit you produce 2 files; .po file and a .mo file. This .mo file is the one you want. Now you have translated both; wp and bbpress with just one .mo file.

I do know that this workaround implies a lot of future problems and I don’t like it at all but I didn’t find any other way.

I hope someday bbpress will appear as a plugin for wordpress.

[Anne-Lise]

Thank you so much! Also for the quick response.

I already had the integration plugin installed. The only thing I needed to do was to install the allo spaces in usernames plugin. Now I can skip between blog and forum without any problems and without having to login again if I am already at one or the other.

BTW: the cookie control plugin you reffered to in step 1 is no longer available for download at the site you referred to. But from what I understand from this article it is not necessary anymore.

Ah nevermind, this is the “allow images” bug:

[adriengeille]

Hi guys,

I can’t launch the installation of bbpress on my existing wordpress blog using the same database. The issue I have is, that i have a blank page…

So no way to launch the installation.

It’s on the same server

using the same db

I even created a second user to the DB (didn’t change anything)

I have enabled all the writing right to the installation folder

So what do you recommand. Do a fresch install of wordpress and bbpress or is there a solution for me to avoid that for exemple feeling up a file myself to have the insatallation process behind me.

Cheers for your help.

I’ve tried hacking a couple wp plugins to bbpress to get better code preservation. But it’s not working.

What is used here? It seems to actually work somehow and that’s not the default technique in the core…

[rosebud]

I have wordpress and bbpress integrated (in terms of users and logins) but they do not share all the functions. BBPress is translated and working fine, however, I don’t have the wordpress code translated, just a po for the theme.

All these problem are both cookie path

and forbidden character problems.

Both are poorly documented (or not mentioned at all)

but the good news is that fixes exist for both issues.

I have to find my previous instructions on this but

because bbpress search is so poor, this may take awhile.

Could someone please get this into a wiki or faq at some point:

Steps required for more complete and problem-free bbPress+WordPress integration:

1. cookies paths need to be changed to the same path in both WordPress and bbPress (change to domain root recommended)

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010

2. the integration plugin should be installed

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4?replies=26&more=1

3. the allow spaces in usernames plugin should be installed (also add my underscore hack for characters bbPress by default forbids but WordPress allows – see my message later in same thread)

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usernames-with-spaces-do-not-work?replies=28#post-7904

4. add the ” set default role when registering new user though forum” mini plugin should be installed:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration?replies=10#post-8768

5. search your bbpress templates and force all registrations/logins through wordpress from the several places they are buried on the forum (the WP login interfaces are far more developed) – unfortunately at least one bbPress login location is hard coded in the core which will require a direct hack everytime you upgrade. ie:

<?php $request_uri=$GLOBALS["HTTP_SERVER_VARS"]["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>

<a href="/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo $request_uri; ?>"><?php _e('Login'); ?></a>

<a href="/wordpress/wp-register.php?redirect_to=<?php echo $request_uri; ?>"><?php _e('Register'); ?></a>

6. optional but highly recommended, install the “use display name” plugin for mods+admin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/2?replies=6&more=1

[adriengeille]

Don’t work,

If i delete $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl both and leave the address blank ”

here is the message i get…

Does it ring a bell to anyone?

Cannot select DB.

[Anne-Lise]

BTW: WP and BBpress are using the same database.

[Anne-Lise]

I have more or less the same problem. My forum is only accessible to WordPress users of the blog the forum is linked to. They cannot register themselves. Therefore registration is not possible on the forum either. All user names consist of two words. When I, or another user, is logged in in WP and then switches to the forum, he or she has to login again. When user name and password are filled in correctly and the login button is clicked, the user is redirected to a page where it says that the login failed and that he or she has to try again. But this time the space between the words of which the username consists is deleted (‘tester twee’ becomes ‘testertwee’). Logging in with the newly formed username doesn’t work either, of course. Logging in with a username that is made up of one word is no problem (for example ‘admin’).

This problem didn’t exist in the previous version of BBpress and it doesn’t have anything to do with the browser either since I tested this with Firefox as well as with IE. I also tried deactivating all plugins, but wasn’t the solution either.

I hope there is anyone who can help me fix this, because it’s really annoying. I was so glad I finally found a rather simple forum that could be integrated with WP.

[w3creativa]

Hi again Rosebud, Is it an integration of wordpress and bbpress or you just installed bbpress and changed the language?. I am asking you because I integrated and when I try to change the language I get an error. I have done some research and I looks like there´s no solution yet.

[w3creativa]

hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone found a way to integrate and change the language without errors?

[benbeltran]

Uruguay is such a lovely country, It’s good to impulse the arts, specially film. BBPress is everywhere open to embrace from gaming to arts, from code to random discussion. Code, indeed, is poetry.

[ronjroy]

The set up is simply http://localhost/bp_web/forums/bbpress and the site is up with no style sheet. I have looked through the templates and I have viewed the source and the style sheet is coming-up as error 404 not found. It seems to me that somewhere in the bbpress coding that the style sheet is not linked properly. I’m not very well versed in php but I have a good handle on css and xhtml.

[chrishajer]

I responded in your other thread. Also, you can search the forums for template and CSS talk.
