Hmm, I tried code (well teh backticks) in there when I noticed that the blockquotes didn’t work. In Netscape they looked teh same so I went back to just using the blockquote.

Moderators have backend access, right Trent? You should change that.

This is a bbpress forum suggestion:

• In ‘options’ add a number of posts visible before archiving. Selecting a number e.g 10 would see a eleventh post moved to page 2.
• Add a ‘more’ tag option if its a lengthy post
• How about tabbed browsing for forums?

Hey all,

I have a WP/BBpress integrated site. You can see it at:

and

Thank you for all your hard work!

[nikkiwraith]

Hey all,

Thanks for all the hard work. You can see what I’ve done with it here:

http://blogs.tattooeddad.com/bbpress/

It took some doing to get the scheme and layout right, but that’s what hacking’s all about, right?

Hi!

I’ve made a plugin to do the same. Makes it easy to show the avatar in posts and profile. It’s just to drop one line in e.g. post.php, and the avatars shows up.

You can check it out -> download.

thanks guys.

Darn it, I forgot that blockquote is not styled in this forum…..that is a problem that I will have dealt with! I changed your post drmike to the code tag for now as it didn’t read right without a formatting of some kind!

Maybe this one?

There seems to be a bit of difficulty with integrating wpmu with bbpress.

I disagree. You pretty much drop three lines into the config file for bbpress, use the same database and it’s set.

The two lines to share the cookies: Link

And this line to use the user table from wpmu.

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

And IIRC, that’s already in the config file, just commented out.

Hope this helps,

I’m thinking about changing my wp installations over to wpmu so I can have more artists projects but I would (probably) like to keep my bbpress as the main page.

There seems to be a bit of difficulty with integrating wpmu with bbpress.

Am I better off waiting until at least bb 1.0?

[wittmania]

OK… it is now available through the plugin browser!

[LwEEs]

Sam my friend,

Is this on the theme header or somewhere else, because my bbpress theme header is actually one line of code, everytime I try to change it messes up the installation. When I get home I’ll post the few letters my header has. Thanks.

[fel64]

Your friend is wrong. Did the solution in the other thread not fix it?

But whatever. Knock yourself out.

[mfaxion]

fel64. Thanks for the input on the HTML!

Created a test account for people to see the Account and problems.

I added div id=wrap, div id=header, & div id=right to my bbpress template. That solved all position issues in Mozilla. However IE is even more of a mess now.

Here’s another forum on bbPress. The rest of website is WordPress.

Thanks guys!

I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I seem to not be able to find the exact answer to my question.

Question: I want to make my bbPress forum completely private so that no one can see the post of anything like that UNLESS that register AND I also want it so that I have to approve a user before they can view and use the forum. So that everything displayed on the forum if completely private.

Answer: I have the answer to the first question (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/34?replies=1) but I need the answer to the second and I want to make sure that is will work with making the forum complete private (the first question).

Thank you.

[wittmania]

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?

[JeremyVisser]

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;

}

[fel64]

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.

[Sam Bauers]

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.
