So I installed the latest version of bbpress 0.8.1 and wordpress 2.1.2. I followed the instructions on this website: http://www.bui4ever.com/web-itecture/how_to_integrate_wordpress_and_bbpress/

There are a few CSS problems which i’m sure i’ll be able to iron out but the worrying thing is when i try to post any information – a new tag, new post, new topic; I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/pjqkug/public_html/forum/config.php:3) in /home/pjqkug/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Anyone think they can have a gander and help?

Hello,

It’s quite odd how I put the bbpress in a directory such as /board and when when checking http://buufdesigns.com/board , it gives me a 404 error.

My .htcaccess for the website itself is:

‘# Friendly URLs

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_]+)/?$ /$1.php’

404 error:

‘Not Found

The requested URL /board.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.’

I notice that the .htcaccess is directing ‘everything’ with a .php which the board.php is invalid, however /board/index.php is not.

So, is there any specific way to make .htcaccess recognize as a /board not a /board.php?

Thanks.

Where to post? Logged into WordPress yesterday and posted a support question, only for someone to suggest posting here (as it related to bbpress) Went to login to the WordPress forum tonight and it comes up with the message ‘banned – no such user’ which is bizarre? Can someone suggest what the problem is?

[startribe]

Think I just found a temporary fix. We have maybe 7 wordpress users that use display names. I don’t think that bbpress users can edit display names in the bbpress profile section, so this must of been why it was showing up blank when our bbPress users (not wp users) were posting in the forums. I fixed the issue by un-checking the “integrated with wordpress” check box on the bdLP options page.

Our bbpress and wordpress users don’t switch sides so much, so it shouldn’t be to much of an issue.

Best,

Orion

Hey Atsutane,

I had another question. I noticed that the members name only seems to appear next to users using nicknames. For example, if I add a nickname to a user, then the users name will appear next to the latest post. But if a new bbPress user who doesn’t use a Wpress nickname posts, then there name doesn’t show up next to the latest post. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Orion

I never followed up, so I’ll do so now. We ended up choosing Vanilla (http://www.getvanilla.com) for our forums at http://forums.opendns.com/. We continue to be thrilled with WordPress, but bbPress was too big an investment of time to integrate with our systems at the time we had to move.

I’m sure if bbPress gets even 1/4 of the community attention that WP gets, it will be fantastic.

Turn off permalinks in the config.php file

$bb->mod_rewrite = false

Or add the appropriate entries to your .htaccess file as described here

[Sam Bauers]

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!

[daniel8802]

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

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