This extremely simple plugin adds a “bb_get_sidebar()” function to bbpress, similar to how WordPress comes with get_sidebar(). Once installed and activated, you can create a file named sidebar.php, put it in your theme directory, and invoke it from any theme page using bb_get_sidebar().

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Add Sidebar

Plugin Description: adds bb_get_sidebar() to bbpress, similar to WordPress' get_sidebar()

Plugin URI: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1264

Plugin Author: Bob Hiler

*/

function bb_get_sidebar() {

bb_load_template( 'sidebar.php' );

}

?>

Please note that this simple plugin doesn’t automagically pull your WordPress sidebar. It’s simply a lightweight convenience function for making bbPress themes. I was surprised this wasn’t already included in template-functions.php, but bb_load_template() makes this super easy to add.

@burkie I love this Design, looks web 2.0ish

I think it is a problem with the databases. Looking at bb-includes/db.php, the error “Cannot select DB” occurs when mysql_select_db() fails (search the file for “cannot” to get to the right bit). Since there’s no error about not enough parameters, I assume that mysql_connect() was successful but I’m not sure about that. It’s one of the two IMO.

You’re going to have to save the page HTML output, the images in it and the stylesheets, zip ’em up and put them up for downloading, otherwise I can’t help you.

I do not recommend two mostly identical seperate stylesheets for the two browsers. If you need to use two different stylesheets, then you should have one main file that both browsers get and two much smaller files that account for the quirks and necessary hacks. Code duplication is never good.

You can fix mysoberlife.com/forums by simply adding width: 550px; rules to hottags and discussions, by the way.

First off let me say IE should be taken out and shot behind the shed. Probably shouldn’t say that living in the land of Microsoft!

So I have a wpmu bbpress install have a 3 column theme set up. The divs in the single sidebar float the first column left, second column right. I finally got it to display correctly by inserting the content div or in this case the ncol div. I had to place the get sidebar and get footer inside the closing div tag and magically Mozilla shows everything correctly.

What a great day 10 minutes into troubleshooting and I fix the problem. However it was incredibly short lived! In IE it displays everything correctly except the sidebar. Instead the sidebar appears on the left side underneath the forum.

I have a regular and ie stylesheet, tried to make sure there weren’t any major discrepencies between the two. There weren’t. Anyone know what I need to do to make it load next to the forum in IE instead of below it?

By the way I have the bbpress styling calling up my wpmu stylesheet. I copied the style divs that bbpress calls from the bb press style sheet and inserted them into the wpmu stylesheet.

I’d offer up an example at the site but I can’t. I have another version of the site running for visitors at the moment.

Hope that made sense! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

example of set up:

(front-page)

get header

div ncol

div discussion etc..

/div

get sidebar

get footer

/div

Ok here come the explanation. I have wpmu bbpress install all integrated. Styling is still a little screwy in IE but thats not the main problem.

I have installed a copy of WP on a subdirectory. In that subdirectory I created another subdirectory for bbpress. I have been trying to install bbpress but it says it cannot access the db. I know the its not the database name, username or password it must be the path?

here is the path structure

mainwpmuinstall/wpinstall/bbpressinstall

$bb->domain = ‘http://mysoberlife.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/democlinical/forums’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical’;

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Been trying different options and can’t get it to work. Was hoping I made some silly simple error that someone more experienced could pick up.

I can’t think up a reason why bbpress couldn’t work on a subdirectory set up like this.

Despues de hacer esto;

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘/wp-includes/languages/es_ES.mo’);es BBLANGDIR

He copiado un .mo del bbpress en el .mo del wordpress y no traduce. Supongo que habrá que hacer algo tambien con el archivo .po que viene aparejado.

“Like medden said, presumably: gdr_config.php should be renamed config.php (and needs to start with <?php too).”

-> I made all the corrections before trying ; renaming gdr_config.php, adding <?php and changing gif extensions.

The plugin works fine but when you acces the admin control panel displays this error;

Warning: include(my-plugins/ranks/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wordpressbbpressmy-pluginsdisplay-rank-images.php on line 43

More people having the same problem here -> https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/665?replies=2#post-3964

but I thought it would be better to follow the original thread here

[sneakym]

“it just needs the user tables to be integrated” – by this, do you mean this -> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/438 ?

[Trent Adams]

Integrate in my mind (for this case) would have the bbPress install using the wp_users table. Login integration. Correct Fel64?

Trent

[sneakym]

Hey Fel, quick question, can you explain “WordPress and bbPress must be integrated.” To my knowledge my installs are integrated as I was able to get bbpress-post working. Is there another step that your plugin requires? Can you give me a step by step run down of what I should do in order to integrate WP and BB as you have?

[ganzua]

when accesing admin control panel this plugin returns this error;

Warning: include(my-plugins/ranks/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wordpressbbpressmy-pluginsdisplay-rank-images.php on line 43

what’s wrong?

Ya vi la web, está muy bien. ¿Estas poniendo los formularios de login del bbpress no?

Están por defecto, aún no he intentado un “único login”, primero integración visual ^^

Por cierto, emmm:

-> ahhhh, no me fije, por defecto venia BBLANG sin el dir.

BBLANG es una constante y BBLANGDIR otra

La primera indica el lenguaje a usar codificado como (ABREVIATURA_abreviatura) y la segunda indica el directorio donde está ese archivo, aunque si en la segunda no se usa la variable $mofile, que es la que guarda el lenguaje y se especifica el nombre del archivo da igual

S!

” Aquí: define(‘BBLANG’, ‘/wp-includes/languages/es_ES.mo’);es BBLANGDIR “

-> ahhhh, no me fije, por defecto venia BBLANG sin el dir. Lo he probado y no da errores, tengo que copiar todavía algun .mo de BBPress en castellano a ver si funciona.

“Conociendo los sistemas se pueden hacer bastantes cosas apañadas ^^, este es el sitio donde lo tengo integrado y en breve intentaré un único login:

I think that’s a tricky one. The code block that makes the output of favourites is below, but since it checks if( $topics ) the actual getting of favourites I guess happens much earlier on in bbPress’ execution. Can’t think how you’d get around that easily.

<?php if ( $topics ) : ?>



<table id="favorites">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Remove'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

<td class="num">[<?php user_favorites_link('', array('mid'=>'x'), $user_id); ?>]</td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</table>

I used this command from the bbPress root directory…

grep -ir ‘bb_is_user_logged_in’ *

Note that I’m using linux… if you are on Windows then you can download cygwin or grep for windows.

[jaruff]

Thanks mate. This is really the first time I’ve dug into the bbPress code, so I’ll definably take a look at the GREP command.

[jaruff]

I’m doing some integration of WordPress and bbPress and I need to know where this certain function is before the login_form function will work correctly on the WordPress site. The function I cannot find is:

bb_is_user_logged_in

If someone could tell me in which file this function is located, well, you would make my day.

[acekiller]

Did this ever get solved? I am participating in a group where this topic has come up. The moderators don’t want to make a global change, they are looking to allow only user-controlled message chronology.

I have only found this thread in bbpress.org searches.

Thanks

In my opinion it would require less bandwidth as this was the first thing I noticed when I switched over from phpBB to bbPress myself. I would imagine this is due to the fact that bbPress is less ‘bloated’ with code in the core, but if you use a bunch of plugins, this can get you back up again. The database structure is less and the number of calls is less, but that has nothing to do with bandwidth.

The data served is about the same.

I think it is less, others have a comment on this?

Unos links en castellano sobre wordpress;

Hola otra vez!

“Opino que… si te falla una función: añade otra tuya o arréglala a tu gusto, los “hacks” son chungos y muy al estilo de phpbb pero a falta de pan…”

-> ya me gustaría saber hacerlo Como mucho llego a arreglarmelas para modificar código ya hecho.

“”Pero que bbpress ni wordpress traigan nada “de casa” me parece perfecto, porque lo único que se consigue es ensuciar el sistema… croe yo, por muy bien hecho que esté se hace complejo y se engorda con cosas que los mismo otro no necesita.”

-> si, opino que es un foro muy para geeks A mi se me está haciendo infernal

“hay muchos CMS completos y complejos, Joomla, Drupal, Xoops..”

en estos no se pueden integrar los logins ¿no?. En el Drupal he visto soluciones duplicando los logins pero eran para el phpbb.

He probado esto;

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘/wp-includes/languages/es_ES.mo’);

y da el mismo error de streams;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163
