Get it while it’s hot!!!

Add your own menu to your bbPress forum, rename and re-order (drag & drop) the menu tabs to your liking.

New in this version:

– You can now rename the menu items by double-clicking them

– Fixed a minor $bb_table_prefix bug

– Added compatibility with the bbPortal plugin

Important:

Before installing, be sure to delete (drop) the previous

bb_menu table from you database

Known issues:

With FireFox: There are some problems when trying to edit the menu links in FF. Sometimes you can’t edit the text in the textfield. Just try double clicking a text in the menu link, then double click another one and now try to edit the first one opened. If you know how to fix this issue, plz let me know

To do:

– Be able to add custom menu tabs to the menu using the admin panel

– re-write the plugin to use jQuery?? (This is used in the next bbPress version)

I recently did my first bbpress install on localhost and it went miserably. I used the latest download from today.

Checking on this forum I had the same path seperator issues and stylesheet issues others had, etc.

My $bb->domain and $bb->path were fine. The fresh install just didn’t work properly under xampp and then again a retry on easyPHP.

This is the solution and findings I found:

1. The first issue is because in config.php and bb-load.php dirname(__FILE__) is used to get the base path for BBPATH. This is not a good thing on localhost Windows based installs.

2. There are a number of attempted workarounds to this that I’ve read about in this forum. All of them that I saw didn’t work. Focusing on the issue with the stylesheet href not being correct I noticed that there was logic in the bb_get_active_theme_folder() function.

By default, the installer does NOT create an option entry ‘bb_active_theme’ in the database table topicmeta. The code logic doesn’t make the correct uri.

To fix this, do an install and then add a database field bb_active_theme in the topicmeta table.

For example, I set mine to:

http://localhost/dev/bbpress/

Playing regular expression games to change x: and in general is not worth it. This seemed to be simple and worked right out of the box.

Thanks for this Sam, looking at it I also made a plugin using the Simple Onlinelist which will highlight any new posts made since the last time someone logged in. Waiting to have it approved as a plugin so I can upload.

You will have to make changes to some core files to make this work properly, as they are in different subdomains.

Find your bbPress config.php file and add these lines:

//try to sync cookies

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mpm.org.au';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Now go to your wordpress folder, open wp-settings.php.

#line 190

FROM

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);

TO

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mpm.org.au');

Make sure that you make note of this change to wp-settings.php. Every time you upgrade wordpress this change will be overriden and you will have to make this change again.

I just created a login at http://www.motiongraphics.it/forum/ and everything worked fine. I was able to do login and create a topic just fine.

The really weird thing is that the forum initially looked like a standard bbPress install (kakumei or whatever that theme is called) then, after I created a topic, it switched over to what looks like this bbpress.org forum theme. It was so disorienting, I thought I posted on bbpress by mistake!

So, unless you were messing with the templates, something weird is going on. However, I did not see the error you mentioned, I just had the weirdness with the differing templates.

Sorry for my Italian

You say this is bbpress code but after searching through every file I couldn’t find any reference to avatar in any of the code. Where exactly is this block of code placed?

I’m trying to set the theme of my blog in bbpress

I have followed all rules, but this is my error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_settings() in /web/htdocs/www.motiongraphics.it/home/forum/my-templates/mw1.1/themetoolkit.php on line 331

Why?!

Hi

I was following a tutorial which says that in order to use wordpress tags you need to include the blog header in your bbpress config. The tags work when I do this, however my bbpress-admin just gives me a whitepage?

Thanks

My stupidity! It should be working now with the same link.

You have download your copy of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php and then put in the parts in GREEN and take out the parts in RED out of this file:

Speaking of which, it doesn’t add a topic-slug either, which is required to have permalinks set to slug. I tried adding the topic_slug field and a variable to make it update, but when I did that it didn’t work at all Can someone else have a look at this too?

[fel64]

I also added a snippet of code to append a link to the last post.

Find the end of the function page_links_add_links and replace this

return $title;

}

with this

$felgtlpl = get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);

$title = $title . ' <a href="' . $felgtlpl . '">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a>';



return $title;

}

By the looks of things, mysqli_connect doesn’t support the “hostname:port” syntax on remote mysql servers (i.e. other than localhost), but mysql_connect does…

I’ve reported this as a bug and submitted a patch here:

wordpress:

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305’);

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘kmr’);

bbpress:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘kmr’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305’);

[archasek]

sql.kmr.nazwa.pl:3305 i tried also localhost and host without port defined.

version of server: 5.0.26-log

version of mysql: 4.1.11

Bah, this is bb (and WP) trying to be clever. It’s annoying; they both mess with your code too much. Although at least WP can handle nested blockquotes.

Could nested blockquotes be handled by CSS? Does bbPress need to “handle” nested blockquotes in a special way?

[Trent Adams]

It hasn’t been talked about for a ‘long time’ here in the forums, but if you just embed your bbPress install around your WP theme, it will be calling the wordpress stuff for the sidebar and then have your forum on something like a WP ‘page’. We just implemented the plugin admin for the 1.0 release and 0.8 has the theme admin. It won’t be too long before someone figures out how to get ‘sidebar’ widgets working with bbPress…..just time!

If you setup that old WordPress blog as an integration with your bbPress installation and then install the bbPress-Post plugin from http://dev.mbzeus.net/forum/ you can do it. It is a real pain in the butt, but if you have the integration plugin working, you can ‘edit’ each of the old posts and then save them again . This creates the entry in bbPress. Last time I checked though, it didn’t update the timestamp to the original post time though.

I’m not that surpised it didn’t work. Here is a different fix, editing the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin itself. I’m using line numbers to reference the code. I’ve based the line numbers on an UNEDITED version of the ‘bbpress_post.php’ file. So, if you open up a fresh version of the file that hasn’t been touched (i.e. do not use the version you previously added my ‘fix’ to – you no longer need that fix).

Try these code changes:

Line # 457 – replace with:

bbpress_bb_new_post($topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title);

Line #533 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #540 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #585 – replace with:

function bbpress_bb_new_post( $topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title ) { // making new post in bbPress

Line #587 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Line #591 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Note: this is assumes two things:

1. That in the bbPress ‘posts’ table the ‘post_title’ field was added as the last field.

2. That you do not have any other plugins that have added fields to the bbPress database.

Let me know how you get on this time.

[Trent Adams]

Are you using any plugin on this installation? I have heard of people having this issue when using the bbPress-Post plugin for posts out of wordpress.

Maybe your server does not support sending mail. I think there have been people who have chosen to display the password rather than emailing it when their server cannot send email:

[chrishajer]

I don’t think so. Blogs and forums serve two different purposes and I don’t know that anyone has written an exporter to get WordPress blog posts into bbPress.
