OK, so I have a WP/bbP integrated blog/forum that also uses bbPress instead of comments. It works really well, with the only problem being that the “Latest Discussion” is almost always just a list of the last 10 blog posts since we don’t get a whole lot of comments. To fix this, I worked up a plugin that grabs the last “X” topics that have 2 or more posts and displays them in a table just like the Latest Discussion table.

You can see exactly what I am talking about here.

And, no, it doesn’t play nice with my bb-Topic-Views plugin. It sucks, I know. Maybe I’ll figure out how to fix this later…

Would anyone else be interested in a plugin like this? If so, I’ll spend the time writing up the documentation, etc. so it can be released as an official plugin. If I don’t hear from anyone, I will probably not waste any more time on it since it is already working as I want it to on my site.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

In the bbPress forums stylesheet (in the custom theme for bbPress.org, not the default theme), you have this:

.post {

overflow: hidden;

}

Can I request that you change the value to auto, to make it heaps easier to read users’ code postings (as they frequently overflow)?

.post {

overflow: auto;

}

If they are, install this plugin, mark yourself and anyone else as 0 in the bozo field and update the profiles. That should fix it.

Where can i get new bbpress templates?

Or share yours bbpress templates

[mfaxion]

I know its been asked. Yes I have searched. Have everything integrated besides the positioning.

mysoberlife.com/forums/

Problem 1: My forum loads on the left of the screen, below sidebar and above the header.

Tried changing the position of the get_header to the end of the files in bbpress, that only created sidebar problems.

Am I missing something simple? I assume that I need to modify the CSS file for displaying the content to make it reference the correct location. I tried using an absolute tag but that creates problems for people with different screen sizes. Any recommendations on the CSS code to use?

Anyone have an idea of what to do? I’m loading the sidebar at the beginning instead of the end of bbpress php files.

By the way I’m having the config for bbpress call the wp-get-header. Inserted the relevant bbpress styling into my wpmu themes stylesheet.

Problem 2: On IE 7 part of my sidebar loads in the area where I want the forum to go. I believe it thinks that the sidebar is ending, some div work fixed it for the wpmu part of the site.

I have a login form that loads different information (control panel) once a user logs in. the problem only occurs when a user is logged in. If anyone has a clue I’d appreciate it.

Thanks

bbRatings plugin allows the rating of topics and could probably be modified to allow rating of each reply too.

It is important to note that if your bbpress install is in a subdirectory of your wordpress install, then the directives in your wordpress .htaccess file also apply to your bbpress directory. So you need to check to make sure there isn’t some mod_rewrite rule in the base .htaccess file munging up your later rewrites in the bbpress .htaccess file.

I suggest anyone trying to attempt enabling mod_rewrite features be familiar with how it works. Apache has very good documentation for the mod_rewrite module.

There is little or no difference between the way bbPress uses mod_rewrite and wordpress uses mod_rewrite.

It is all down to your configuration and sometimes is impossible because of your host. I am happy to attempt to help anyone who wants to send me their .htaccess files and a detailed description of their setup. I will need full path names and urls and the site structure you are trying to achieve. Send to the username “sam” at the domain name “viveka * net * au”. I will send you back what should be a working set of files and will also attempt to report the resolution here.

[drift82]

I agree with djuggler. I have the same configuration as serimu on my self-hosted server. a .htaccess file at the root (/) for wordpress and a .htaccess file at /forum/ for bbpress. I have AllowOverride All enabled. Yet still no luck. I have had absolutely no problems with my 30+ installs of WordPress. But I’ve had no luck getting permalinks in BBPress working.

This is the only thing holding me back from using BBPress and I’m getting pretty sick of running XDForum.

[djuggler]

It is confounding that so many people have difficulty with the pretty permalinks.

In my case, WordPress works great. It’s .htaccess rewrites appropriately. On the same server Drupal uses mod_rewrite successfully and without effort. But I have spent hours upon hours trying different configurations and tricks to get BBPress to have pretty urls and it just won’t work. I do not use GoDaddy. I use 1and1 ( http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=6598272 )

For so many people to have the same experience and say “wordpress permalinks work but bbpress’ don’t” just cries that there is something flawed in BBPress’ approach to clean urls.

I’m trying to add things to the header but is not working out for me, I have modified headers in the past on wordpress, but bbpress header is different. Everytime I try I get an error. I just want to add a shortcut back to my homepage but html is not working for a simple shortcut on bbpress header. Can anyone help me on this?

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve just decided to backwards-compatibilise (???) all my plugins to PHP4.

New version of this one is 1.0.1 available soon.

[atimson]

Per the readme, the template’s search.php must be modified to show post results. How, it doesn’t quite say, though I suspect that if I actually looked at search.php it’d be fairly obvious.

[wmarcy]

Getting this error Sam:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/wetworx/public_html/forums/my-plugins/post-count-titles.php on line 66

Any ideas?

[Sam Bauers]

This plugin allows you to add titles to a user based on their post count.

Available here: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/50

[Sam Bauers]

No guarantees about this one….

Add this to an .htaccess file in the base of your bbPress installlation.

You will need to modify where specified.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase <<Insert real path to your installation>>



RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).html(.*)$ <<Insert real path to your installation>>forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

I imagine the only obstacle to changing your link structure is existing links in the forums. Perhaps you should consider using mod_rewrite rules to simply convert the existing link structure to standard bbpress format, then going forward you can just use standard bbpress style permalinks.

All this would/should take is a few lines on a .htaccess file.

[mirce]

Sorry about this but I really want to use bbPress.

I can convert the DB but only changing the .htaccess rules will not help.

I need a modification to function get_topic_link from bb-includes/template-functions.php and function bb_repermalink() from bb-includes/functions.php

Hacking the template-functions.php and creating the link is easy but bb_repermalink is always 301 redirect me to the root because the link function is not created right.

Once we get bbpress working for you (other thread of yours), then we can work on this one for you as your site is not available right now.

I have heard horror stories of getting fancy URL’s working with WP on godaddy hosting, let alone bbPRess. Some relevant posts on godaddy and bbPress that might help you along:

Searching google or this forum might also have some other things to try with godaddy and bbPress.

Hello

I’ve tried everything to integrate bbPress’ functions into WP, and vice versa, but I really can’t figure it out. It’s the only thing left to complete integration cause I’ve achieved all the rest.

But this function integration really is a problem.

So if someone could tell me exactly what must be done, which files are concerned.

Thx, cause it’s really the only problem I’ve got (and I’ve read a lot about integration but couldn’t figure this out).

When I open a topic, then click on the RSS feed, I get the message:

The webpage cannot be displayed

Most likely cause:

Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don’t have installed.

What you can try:

Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.

Retype the address.

I am hosted on godaddy.com. The pretty permalinks were not working after changing the config and .htaccess file. I then tried to run /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and get the following message: “Internet explorer cannot download rewrite-rules.php from mywebsite.com. Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.”

I doublechecked the domain, the spelling, the case, and everything is where it should be. BBpress is installed in the root directory ‘/’. What obvious thing am I missing? website at http://www.sevenhillsga.com
