The errors stem from the fact that plugins aren’t designed to be called in isolation. They are included into the rest of bbPress when they are loaded. Meaning that if you try to run the plugin in isolation, then you won’t have access to the whole bbPress API (including the add_action() function and all the bbdb class).

If you take a look at how tag addition works in the core, you will probably get an insight into the best way to do this.

I got it all working, but now when I try and click on a link, I get an error that says The requested URL /bbpress/topic/1 was not found on this server … is this a permalink problem? If so, how do I get rid of them? Thanks agaain!

Hi guys … I have wordpress up and running on my site, but I tried to get bbpress working, but something isn’t quite right I think. Am I doing something wrong? You can check it out at rigelastronomy.com/bbpress … thanks! I’m new to bbpress, but love wordpress

Hi there,

Is there any progress on bbpress integration? I would really like to use it with my current site. Also, my current site is using PostgreSQL for backend, would it make the integration more difficult?

Thanks.

Hi, I’ve integrated bbpress into my site, but there is an error somewhere. When I view my site, the usernames on the forum with the ‘member’ link below is visible, but a member has complained he can’t see it. I’ve been to a local library, and was forced to agree, on that computer I couldn’t see it either. I use IE7 and Firefox for browsing, whereas the library is using IE6, if that should make a difference. What’s the problem.

I was looking in forums, but couldn’t find solution.

Is it possible to install bbpress so that it would create forum on each new wp mu site? that means xx.mypage.com/forum, yy.mapage.com/forum …

Hi,

I am currently upgrading my bbMenu plugin. You can now edit the titles en safe them to you db. The problem is, the last part I can’t get the saving to work.

In the JS file I have now:

var url = 'edit.php';

This file (edit.php) is called when someone renames the menu item and has the following code:

<?php

$id = $_POST['id'];

$content = $_POST['content'];

echo stripslashes(htmlentities($content)); ?>

Now I don’t want to have an external file so I copy past this code into my bbmenu.php and changed the var url in the JS file too:

var url = '../my-plugins/bbmenu.php';

So it now calls the bbmenu.php but this gives some errors, cause it will reload the plugin file:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /bbpress/my-plugins/bbmenu.phpon line 30

How to solve this?

If this aint possible what do I need to add to edit.php so it also safes the stuff to the db?

Hope you guys can help me out

Did you specify to load the admin interface? Make sure this line is inside your bbpress header somewhere: <?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

[peiqinglong]

The first problem is in your header, you have:

<php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, it should be <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> and with the second import, I'm not sure why style.css is just floating around outside. It should be pointing to your forum so it should be: @import url(“/archas/ram/wordpress/forum/bb-templates/your themestyle.css”);`

The second problem is you have to edit EVERY file in the template. Make a new folder in bb-templates, call it whatever you want and copy all the files from kakumei theme except for images directory into your new folder and change all the files that have <bb_get header()> to <get_header()> and don’t forget the footer and sidebar.

The third problem is you need to style the bbpress stylesheet to match your theme…

I am still a stuck on this, I am not totally sure what to enter in my plugin options. With the old plugin I adjusted these options in the plugin php file:

$bbpath = ‘/content/forums’; // Adjust the path to suit your bbpress location. Example: ‘/forums’

$forum_slimit = ’20’; // Adjust the limit to show

… and I was able to get the feature working.

In the options menu for the new plugin I have adjusted the path to reflect the above path. I left the options below the “External DB” option blank: “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host,” for I believe these are for using the external database, and I am using the local host and sharing a database with WordPress. (I also tried filling the “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host” options, with out checking the external datatbase box, and I ran into the same issue.)

Anyhow, I will have to re-activate the old v.3 working plugin for now, and we will have to manually edit the title lengths in the meantime. I will still be pushing for a solution, and if anyone has any ideas to why I can’t get this plugin working, the help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

btw- i’m on WordPress 2.1 & bbPress 0.8.1

When attempting to integrate bbpress with WPMU, i have run into a problem. When i hit /wpmu/forums/, it thinks i am attempting to signup for the username forums. It seems like the same problem as this:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/59?replies=6#post-263

however, i am attempting to include wp-blog-header, and i am not getting any errors. If i include it, It just thinks that someone is trying to signup for the username “forums”. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

re5et.

[chrishajer]

There is no activation required for bbPress plugins. Just drop them into a folder called my-plugins and they start working automatically. If you don’t already have that directory, go ahead and create it in your forum root.

[Atsutane]

Update the plugin already. Now u can set the length of the text from BbLD option page. Get it from bbPress plugin page.

Refer to changelog for older update. Hope this gonna solve your problem

[archasek]

ok, i did something like that in my front site, and everything seem to be working ok, but:

– look at forum and at wordpress- there is a little difference between them. text in forum is on the left, out from the table.

– in my bb-admin page i have bad encoding (im polish), i have to use the unicode, dunno what bbpress uses

how to add (activate) plugins for bbpress? i want to have display-name plugin to change moderators names

[peiqinglong]

Make sure that when you enter: require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’);, it’s absolute path. For example: /home/username/archas/ram/wordpress/

To find out what your absolute path is:

1) make a file and call it path.php

2) add this code into the path.php: <?php $p = getcwd(); echo $p; ?>

3) upload it to your wordpress directory and access it http://www.cs.elomza.pl/archas/ram/wordpress/path.php, that will output your path.

Hey Community,

We are getting closer to the launch of our site, and we are still having trouble with our bbpress title lengths interfering with our wordpress layout.

You can see our bbpress forum locations spread through out the site.

http://208.109.218.158

Is there any way to put a limit on the length of titles so they don’t break our site? We are using the same setup as described above.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it means some sort of a temp css fix to hide overflow.

Thanks,

Orion

[chrishajer]

This has been discussed and is not in development, AFAIK:

Thanks Sam for getting back to me so quickly. I forgot to escape an apostrophe with a forward slash in the name for the forum.

[Sam Bauers]

New version added which seems to work. The whole implementation is a little unsavory though – passing HTTP auth to a PHP cookie – feels like double handling.

http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/http/http-authentication.latest.zip

Someone who cared a little more about how this works would bother to replace all the cookie based auth completely.

I’ll add this to the plugin repository too.

[Sam Bauers]

Check your apache error log for PHP errors using tail.

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

On the command line.

My development machine is a local install of Apache/PHP/mySQL on my PowerBook running under OS 10.4.9.

I’ve tried installing bbPress within a folder of my wordpress installation for a project I’m working on, but I’m getting blank pages from bbPress (ie. no content at all – just a white page). WordPress installed and works fine, but I can’t even get to the point of installing bbPress.

I’m running PHP 5.1.6 and mySQL 5.0.22-standard.

Anyone got any suggestions on how I can get content showing on the pages?

[victorcastelan]

I have integrated bbpress with wordpress without problems.

To have the same header in bbpress and word press I include

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

in the config.php in bbpress, then I edit the header.php (bbpress) with some wordpress functions.

It’s runs ok, but the bbpress admin interfase can’t load.

There are some comments about?

[spencerp]

Haha. All I know is… after wiping the database clean of the bbPress tables and files/folders and such in the htdocs folder for Xampp Lite/ localhost … tried to install it fresh again… it went just fine, except for that Stylesheet URL issue….

Not sure why, or what’s going on with it.. but apparently she’s holding a grudge against Xampp Lite and the localhost… damn bitch!!!! LOL! Nah, just kidding folks!

Many people including myself have implemented the themes of bbPress and WordPress by actually making a theme in bbPress that looks like WordPress. There is information creating theme available here. As well, doing what you wanted has been tried and documented on these forums before, so I would suggest a quick search. I know so10 has a patch on his site at:

http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/

Hope that helps!
