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.

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

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

Rather than just keeping private notes on the hooks and filters I found, I thought it best to maybe start a list here with everyone, just as a rough working documentation of the hooks and filters.

For future ref/for people that don’t know, a hook is a means of bbPress making your plugin run every time a certain thing happens. To get that to work, put this code at the very bottom of your plugin:

add_action( 'hook_name', 'functionname' );

Filters are very similar to hooks, only it gives your plugin some data, you can then do something with the data (filter it), and then pass it back. To register for filters, put this code at the bottom of your application; remember to accept the parameters in your function and return them as appropriate.

add_filter( 'filter_name', 'functionname' );

Note that in both cases you want the name as a string and the function’s name as a string, no brackets or parameters at the end of it! An optional third parameter is the priority of your function; default is 10, so set this higher if you want it to execute last or lower if you want it to execute earlier.

Some Filters

topic_title – this passes the topic title to your function when the threads are being listed, like on the (default) front page.

bb_allowed_tags – this is the array of HTML tags you can use in your posts. Hang a filter on this and add elements to the array if you want to allow more tags.

Some Hooks

bb_head – this is called when the HTML <head> element is being filled, so you can add stylesheets or javascript and the like.

bb_user_logout obviously gets called when someone logs out.

bb_init when someone logs in?

bb_new_user when someone registers; passes the ID along I think

bb_profile_menu – haven’t figured out how it works; I think it’s to do with the tabs at the top of the profile.

If you know any more hooks or filters, or find ’em, please post them here with a quick description if necessary!

Thanks for this great script. Unfortunately I got myself suspended from one of my webhosts since it clogged up the MySQL queue But I have only myself to blame, and they did let it pass only giving me a final warning.

[wmarcy]

Jim Lynch came to the rescue, here is what is necessary:

This code gos into the front-page.php file:

<table id="highest">

<tr>

<th>Highest Rating</th>

<th>Rating</th>



</tr>



<?php $topics=bb_top_topics();

foreach ($topics as $topic) : ?>

<tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>

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

</td>

<td class="num"><div class="rating-holder"><?php bb_rating();?>

<span class="count"><?php bb_rating_count(); ?>

</span>

</div>

</td></tr>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</table>

Also very important not to forget to include “my-plugins/bb-ratings.css” in your template header file. That should look something like this:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://YOUR_PATH_TO_BBPRESS/my-plugins/bb-ratings.css' type='text/css' />

[Sam Bauers]

I think you are misunderstanding how PHP is used to process forms. You can’t call a PHP function using an “onclick” event.

PHP is a server side pre-processor, not a client side scripting language. The form needs to be posted, then you need to somehow trigger the php function on the recipient page. In bbPress, this is done by hooking into the API.

Read this… http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php

Then I suggest you download and copy the methods used in another plugin that does this. No one will mind you copying their methods. You can feel free to adapt from any of my plugins that do this. “LDAP authentication” does it, so does “Restrict registration”. The code for handling admin pages is at the bottom of both plugins. These will also give you a clue as to how to implement the bb_*_option functions.

Suleiman,

since you were successful integrating wpmu and bbpress, could you tell me what they mean in the installation instructions (https://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress)

by “setting bb->wp_table_prefix”?

when i open config.php i see in the botton the following:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ”; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

so, again the question is what exactly do i need to change in config.php

thanks!

That’s a problem with your browser/html/printing thing, not to do with bbPress. I’m not sure how to fix it though, sorry.

I think you should give credit to atsutane who made this the random members plugin.

http://www.atsutane.net/bbpress/random-member.txt

i just integrated your avatar plugin with the random members

I will be making a plugin of my own where you can add buddies to your friends list.

Hi,

I have placed <?php login_form(); ?> in the wordpress sidebar and it doesn’t appear however once I goto the forum pages it displays the login form or the welcome messages.

I have the wordpress header file linked in the bbpress config.php file aswell.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks,

Rich

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for pre-1.0 software to have outstanding problems like this. Personally I have had to mark users as bozos. The only thing lacking here is documentation, which is often the case with free software.
