It is tapping into the hook to change the bbPress fields, but not the appearance. That is defined somewhere in bbPress and not changed by the plugin. I think that someone else might have to help with that one I am afraid!

Sorry, wrong syntax, but it does work with:

fel64, you must think I am crazy today eh as I can’t seem to get anything straight the first time!!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Unfortunately it does

Are you sure? I can do it because bbPress is using the WP users and I have both setting and using the same cookie. You seriously can’t get this to work? Hmm……

You have both integration plugins installed as well?

I have visited your site, Trent, and I do appreciate the effort, but some of the ones listed don’t work with my installation. The “four” themes that I mentioned in my first post that worked for me were all taken from your site!

I guess now I have a strong reason to develop another skill: “bbPress themes”

Thanks for your answers.

My blog is getting cluttered with tons of useless posts and I’d really like to clean it out, but since I work with multiple authors I don’t want to upset them. I figure a fair compromise is to convert the wordpress posts to threads.

The plugin would be a sort of ‘one step’ process where you run a script or hit a button in the admin panel and whichever wordpress post you select becomes a thread with:

1. the same title

2. roughly the same text (given bbpress’ html capabilities)

3. comments converted to replies

it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.

Unfortunately it does, I reckon that the cause of a problem I’ve been having – when you register in WP, it only calls WP hooks, register in bb and only bb hooks are called. Short of duplicating plugins and changing the hooks/function names etc, I don’t think there’s anything you can do, and that’s obviously a real hassle.

Maybe a trac ticket is in order, to get some coordination between appropriate hooks?

[Trent Adams]

I see you resolved this. Just for others, I found the login code for WordPress and put that in the sidebar as it doesn’t matter if you login at bbPress or WordPress when you are integrated.

Excellent Sam! I changed your title so that it is more clear on what you have come across! I hope you don’t mind!

If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and WordPress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

It should work just having the main RSS feed like this sites:

https://bbpress.org/forums/feed/

Mine would be:

Thanks,

I know that Brad and I are trying to put the links to plugins, themes and hacks together over at Pro Forums. Just search the ‘templates’ link and that has a good portion of them.

For adding custom profile additions, I use Macwise’s Custom Profile Plugin. You have to edit the actual plugin code to get your profile additions you want, but the ‘extra’ ones in it are ‘number of kids’ and you will figure out how to add more and change that one. As well, if they are marked as ‘1’ they are required and ‘0’ means not required.

As for avatars, you can have your users add their own URL to their avatar using Ardentfrost’s Avatar Plugin but it doesn’t have an interface yet for uploading avatars, just putting in the URL. If most of your users use Gravatar or MyBlogLog, you can try the other Avatar Plugin as it just uses the avatar from those services. There is a new plugin that allows uploading of avatars as well available here

That should get you going!

Phew!! After a whole evenings work and a lot of jumping over hurdles trying to fix things, my wordpress and bbpress are working perfectly. Now what i want is to scrap the wordpress author.php page i created for users profiles, and use the bbpress profile. But that means adding i na few extra fields in edit profile, and displaying them in the profile. Can anyone help with this?

Also can anyone recommend the best avatar plugin that will also work on wordpress comments? Thanks!

Not yet!

Fel, want to shoot the code over to me, I would love to integrate it into my bbPress sites.

[gtim]

Most bbPress might be WordPress users too, but I actually don’t think that so many will use it together with WordPress.

Anyway, both WordPress and bbPress do everything they can in order not to get bloated. This is the job of a WordPress (and bbPress?) plugin.

[Calitoe]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been resolved already, but I haven’t found the answer

Is there a directory, viewer, site, post, whatever that lists bbPress themes available round there (similar to WordPress themes viewers-showcases)? I’ve only found like 4 bbPress themes that really work with my current installation (0.8.1) after searching virtually everywhere.

Of course, I can always try and make my own template, but if anyone else is developing and releasing themes, I would like to know and they deserve to be promoted.

Thanks in advance.

I think the easiest thing to do is to use Louisedade’s avatar plugin ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1027?replies=3 ), and then using a simple MySQL query on the WordPress side to get that data to use next to comments.

How did you integrate profiles?

[t0v3]

Does anyone know of a plugin with which i can use on both the aforementioned sites? I’ve integrated both bbpress & wordpress so they use the same profile, and i just want to include a way for users to upload an avatar. and for it to show next to comments. their posts, and in their profile. Any help much appreciated!

[fel64]

Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well.

Are you sure?

I would like a great degree of integration too, mainly blogpost/topics and comments/replies, but we may be in the minority.

[maxbear]

Most of us using bbpress are using wordpress as well. All we want is add the forum feature to our blog easily. If bbpress can just embed in a wordpress page, it will be much easier for us to work with both script. Just my thought

[Sam Bauers]

Here is a page I wrote for the DreamHost Wiki that outlines the simple steps to install bbPress at DreamHost.

I have just uploaded a new major version of the Support forum plugin. This version fixes a couple of bugs, but more importantly moves the plugin into an object oriented class. I have chosen to make it PHP5 only, I hope that doesn’t affect anyone too badly.

This version is recommended for all users of the plugin.

Should be available from here soon: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16

Gracias por la traducción, lonemadm, yo he cambiado la traducción de “bozo” a “petardo” en lugar de “tonto”. También valen “pesado”, “plasta”, “incordio”… Lo que se diga más en vuestras tierras
