Indeed I don’t believe there is a method for doing so. I was wondering the same thing and couldn’t find anything, especially since the files accessed in root are all actual files and none of them virtual. Would be good to have such a thing, so yay trac ticket.
this is what i think can be done.. very hacky and very primitive
create a plugin which filters ‘bb_template’ for template ‘front-page.php’. check for $_GET == listplugins. if so return list-plugins.php
that will load list-plugins.php is the user goes to
go to <bbinstall>/index.php?action=listplugins
here is the plugin
add_filter(‘bb_template’,’my_plugin_change_template’);
function my_plugin_change_template($template) {
return ( ‘listplugins’ == $_GET ) ? ‘list-plugins.php’ : $template;
}
kapish?
I don’t know that you can… most of the internal pages also have a page in the root (topic.php, forum.php, etc)
The memberlist plugin did it the same way you did.
From within a plugin I wanted to attach a new template/page name within the bbpress structure but I cannot figure out how to do it?
For example:
Let’s say I want to have a custom page called “list-plugins”
http://bbpress.nfshost.com/forums/list-plugins
The only way I was able to do this was to create new file in the bbpress root like this and save it as list-plugins.php
<?
require('./bb-load.php');
$bb_db_override = false;
do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db', '' );
do_action( 'bb_index.php', '' );
bb_load_template( 'list-plugins.php');
?>
Then that would load list-plugins.php in my template folder.
But can’t I attach a fake template name to bbpress via it’s rewrite system without having a physical file?
I decided last night after seeing some bug reports from people testing my plugins that I needed a more conventional bbpress install that I could test my plugins as well as other people’s.
So I started this little site:
http://bbpress.nfshost.com/forums/
I purposedly used low end (slow) hosting since my other sites are on high end setups. This way I can get a feel if anything is slowing bbpress down.
On the site you can preview my
bbPress Signatures and bbPress Polls plugins
by making a test account.
I’ve also activated “My Views” (which only works on 0.8.2.x for now)
The goal was to stay as close to bbpress’s default template as possible but after a few hours the bright white was burning my eyes so I had to tone it down. I’ll probably have to revisit that and work on the colours a bit, it’s far too flat right now, sorry.
Since this host has no web compression options, I’ll be releasing another mini plugin today after some more testing: bbpress gzip. It will let you compress bbpress pages via php and save on bandwidth, even if your host doesn’t have mod_gzip or other options available.
It does indeed require a deeper level of integration. You want to load bb when you load wp, so open wp’s wp-config.php and add the following line:
require_once('./bbpress/bb-load.php');
where /bbpress/ should be the subdirectory of wordpress that bb is in. If that works you should now be able to call any bb function from wp.
We can’t help you get it into fantastico, but we can help you install. What problem are you having?
I don’t know if this is exactly what you’re looking for but bbSync unifies commenting and when an old topic is synchronised the comments are transferred – albeit as if they had just been posted, with a little message saying they haven’t.
if this were done, I’m hoping it would be a fully integrated system in wordpress and bbpress. it would be nice of both applications “realize” they’re both there in the same website and perform integrated functions themselves by means of one plugin in each wp and bbp.
right now i tried to upload and run bbpress but no sucess i dont know how to do it.
please can the bbpress people give fantastico install on bbpress on hostmonster as they have wordpress
the hostmonster suport has told me to ask help in bbpress
I’d think it would work out much better to use something other than blockquote… that’s the whole idea behind the
Quote:
tag… it should be accepted by bbpress perfectly fine, and not used for any other reason.
There’s no reason to have full bbcode support if you don’t need it, all we need is the
One of the problems with using blockquote is that somebody might already use blockquote in their posts. It would also make any old posts using blockquote completely incompatible with the new plugin.
Otherwise you could use another tag, but then you have to modify the bbpress allowed tags list.
And the issue here is that we are trying to indicate to the system that we are quoting something, not just trying to format the display. It’s this that gives us the ability to filter out the first quote in a multiple-quote scenario that probably happens very often.
Oh wait, there’s a plugin that does this already, though it needs to be seriously enhanced:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/38?replies=17
And they came to the same conclusions that I did, you have to place the “quote” link and insert the quoted text the exact way I described.
I am new to bbPress and have spent most of this weekend trying to get it installed and running on a site I am trying to roll out.
Here is a synopsis of where I am beginning from:
-Shared hosting account on HostGator
-Currently run 3 other sites all running WordPress
-All 3 sites run from 3 different DB’s named uniquely
-Never had a problem with any of the 3 sites
-I am not a WordpPress expert by any stretch of the definition
What I am trying to do:
-On a 4th site, I am trying to install bbPress to create a community forum.
-Eventually I would like to integrate it with WordPress, but I would like to get grounded in bbPress first.
Issue:
Every time I install bbPress, I can get the site to come up but when I click on any of the links (like trying to drill down into a topic), the URL changes but the content is always the homepage. I am able to login to the admin screen, but I can’t ever make any changes within it. I can add new topics and they display, but I can never drill into it so I can read the content or add replies.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
I tried searching the forums for the answer so if I completely missed it if you could point me in the right direction that would help. Any help or advice you can give is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Thanks for both your replies. I’d read that thread previously and my impression was that it is overly complex for what I’m trying to accomplish and was hoping for a much simpler way. I’d rather avoid having to “hack core files” as described and I want to be able to upgrade both WP and bbPress easily with changes only in my template files. I also don’t need the complex behavior of conditionally showing admin links, etc. since I just bookmark the admin page. And finally, as I mentioned, my PHP skills are non-existant at this point so not the kind of thing I am comfortable taking on right now.
fel64, currently I have my user tables and cookies integrated. I installed bbPress within the WP directory to get the easy integration described in the docs since I’m still pretty new to both. So far that seems to work great. I like your suggestion of just grabbing the HTML code for the WP login and making it look like the bbPress login. That would solve the login part of it. However, then I would need some conditional code to display different things if the user is logged in or not, similar to what the bbPress login form does. It displays the welcome and profile link if logged in, or login form if not. For new user registration I’d have to send them to the bbPress registration page because I want them to fill out profile info not available in the WP registration form since it only asks for username/pw. Then I think it would be kind of weird that the user clicks register from the home WP page and gets taken to the forums after they register. Probably have to do some special handling there to see where they came from and send them to the right place.
So…. hope you don’t mind the thinking outloud but after all that I’m wondering if it’s all worth the trouble given how unfamiliar I am with these systems. Maybe I’ll postpone this until future versions of bbPress make login integration much easier or there are plug-ins written for WP that can help. My initial thought was, why can’t I just call the login form code from bbPress from WP? Is this something that requires a deeper level of integration than what I have? I’m curious about this in general as it would be something I’d like to be able to do in the future.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am new here. I am form lithuania so sorry for my poor english.
I have trouble. I have installed bbpress and integrated with wordpress. And now i can’t go to bbpress admin panel. Can any body help my?!
No, I have a special test site for this stuff: http://www.sourceskins.com/bbpress go take a look if you have it there too…
I also run the latest stable release, no trunk versions
I doubt I will add lines/characters countdown meters anytime soon but will keep them in mind. The Polls plugin is my top priority for now as I don’t even allow signatures on my own sites.
I’ll look into the stylesheet bug though.
To see a signature somewhere else you’d have to call
echo add_signature_to_post('');
which might work but won’t apply other bbpress filters to it. It also needs to know the post and user id from $bb_post so if it’s outside the loop it won’t work at all.
I only worked on signatures for a day or two, it’s very very beta.
Null, I am testing using opera 9 on windows.
I am using 0.24 of the plugin on the bbpress trunk.
I am able to create a new poll & vote with no alerts.
There is no problem with the css layout.
Make sure you create a NEW poll for testing with 0.24
Wait I just thought of something.
Are you using a personal firewall like Norton?
They sometimes filter javascript in bad ways.
I am also starting to think that php 5 is doing something weird with the data escaping since you say you get it in all browsers. Unfortunately I do not have a php 5 server to test on.
Can anyone else reproduce what Null is reporting or does it work?
ps. you can turn off ajax if you want to test it normally by changing the “use_ajax” option near the top of the code. Set it to “false”.
pps. Null, is this off the site in your profile?
Can you create a poll for me to see off one of the pages so I can see the bug in action?
1. insert “quote” button on every post like my “report” button
2. don’t use javascript, use the arg add function and build a simple url for each quote button which references the source post id #
3. clicking said url button does a get from the server/bbpress
4. look for and capture the $_GET (ie. "epost=1327)
5. now the hard part, tell bbpress to start a new reply post in the topic and insert the formatted text from the quoted post. I have no clue how to pass bbpress existing text to a new post. Not even sure it has the action/filter to do it. I would bet not 
That may have been factually accurate, but telling him that it’s been solved and he should go search is not helpful. Linking him to a solution would be.
“ganzua, that’s not all that helpful.”
Well, If undestood quite enough this quote;
“What I’d like to have is that same bbPress login form show up in my WP page so that if users are logged in they get the welcome/view profile otherwise they can log in/register from anywhere on the site.”
We solved this same thing here, ;
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/any-idea-to-integrate-wp-and-bb-login-forms?replies=24
Are your usertables integrated? If they are it shouldn’t matter what login form you use and your userdetails should be identical, a change in one system resulting in a change in the other. In that case you can simply but the WP login forms back and integrate cookies.
If they are not integrated and you don’t want to do so, a solution could be to load bbPress when you load WP [edit: but again unless you’re integrated you’ll have function name collisions so that’s not an option] and use the login_form() I believe it is template tag.
Or you could just look at what the bbP output login form is like, copy the HTML into wordpress and let users use that. No reason why that shouldn’t work. 
ganzua, that’s not all that helpful.
That’s the default bbpress template right?
I have a very similar setup but not seeing any of that.
Can anyone else report on this issue?
0.22 will be out shortly, I have ajax voting done.
Gotta fix how it calculates totals for multiple answer votes.
we solved this issue in a previous thread, just make a search
