If you could make it public and then post a reply to the following thread and to the internationalize bbPress post that would be great! Thanks for that!

Subforums is the patch by SamBaeurs for sure, yes.

Steven,

I not sure of the ‘exact’ best procedure of combining bbPress and WPMU, but these are some users that have it going:

Simpler integration with WordPress

https://codex.wordpress.org/Ergate/wpmu_bbPress_integration

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2166&replies=10

It is a little different with WPMU as the table structures are a little different, but those posts seem to most likely have the key. Integrating with normal WP is much easier.

[chrishajer]

maker, you are correct (I believe) that there is no plugin to upload images although there are plugins to allow images in posts.

Allow images

WordPress user integration

Latest bbPress posts in WordPress

Latest WP post in bbPress

Have fun.

[chrishajer]

You can have two developers (macwise and bbPress core team) working on the same code in different places. I think svn is smart enough to figure it out when you commit and svn up.

I just spent a while translating a .po file that I got from here to Swedish and creating a .mo file from it. You can see the results on forum.rimnytt.se.

Should I make it public, or is there already a Swedish translation or a fresher .po file?

[fel64]

Same thing again, it’s great. Why don’t you make an entry in the plugins DB for it? https://bbpress.org/plugins/add/

[fel64]

If it’s in the Trac and it’s been assigned to someone then yeah they’re probably working on it?

[maker]

macwise,

how did you create your extra forums/subforums?

I’ve done some looking around and found SamBaeurs patch – is this the best way to do this?

[Null]

Hi,

Watching the TRAC, I’m seeing some new drag and drop functions for ordering the forums. Is this true? Cause I was working on a plugin to do this based on my bbmenu plugin. If this is true, I can stop devloping this, so let me know

[maker]

cheers

[Null]

I suggest to SEARCH these forums first, cause your questions are answered many times before. I also suggest to look at the documentation and plugins available on this site

[maker]

so there is no image uploading inherent in bbpress? But there are image plugins?

What can be shared between WP and BB? logins? Can wordpress show latest BB posts?

[Atsutane]

Version 0.5 (2007-03-04):

• Fix display name for bbpress that not integrated with wordpress.
• Add option to set if your wordpress is integrated with bbpress or not.
• Add use Bbpress permalink option

Ok, what I want to do with the cookie is make it so that a someone logged into the forum gets special attention on my site…

So, I need to get this sorted: is the random alphanumeric code at the end of the cookie name (bb_pass_alphanumeric code or bb_user_alphanumeric code) just a per user specific or can I just copy and paste MY cookie’s name as the cookie name?

… I have looked in what I would say is the logical place to put the set cookie bit but then again, i don’t know much about bbpress…

So can someone help me either find how to read the cookie per user or whether it is possible to just use the cookie name that is set for me…

[tseven]

Ok… Let me start off by saying I’m not your “average” user seeking help. I’ve spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.

My site is setup like this:

domain.com/blog

domain.com/forum

This is what I have thus far:

In my bbpress config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

//define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');

Of course I replaced “domain.com” with my actual domain.

The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.

Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)

the cookie properties look like this:

website			name			path		secure		expires			value

bbpress

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		long_hash

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		test



wpmu

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		long_hash (same as the other)

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		test

The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.

Perhaps I need sleep, or I don’t understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I’m beat.. I can’t battle it anymore tonight.

I’m going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I’ll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

So, does this eliminate the possibility of keeping your own code under version control? I keep all my stuff in my own svn repository I set up myself on one of my servers. Is anyone aware of a way to share a working copy across two repositories?

Or maybe a better question is this: Does anyone update their site through SVN AND use SVN to back up their own local code? How do you approach this problem?

[macwise]

Thank you. And thanks for making your post one line. That makes my post look ESPECIALLY long…(or maybe it really IS that long).

[spencerp]

If the above stuff worked for you, then all you have to do to update your bbPress installation(s) is, follow same directions to get you to that specific directory, which contains your forums..

START>RUN>CMD>

Type In: plink mydomain.net (make sure there’s a space between the word “plink” and your “domain.net” then hit enter)

Type In: your passphrase (hit enter)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-root (example: public_html)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-forums

The: ls

Type: svn up (then hit enter)

That should update whatever files in your bbPress forums directory. I use same way for doing my WP blogs too..

Firstly, that’s a fantastic looking site!

[spencerp]

What I did was, followed this guide here:

http://www.phileplanet.com/archives/2006/08/how-to-setup-ssh-on-windows-xp/

Reference links:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/xp-wont-run.html

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

I login to my domain with START > RUN > CMD >

plink mydomain.net

-will give your user and ask for passphrase.. enter passphrase.. hit enter

-it will give you server prompt thingy.. I type and hit enter: ls

-will show you what’s on your domain’s root, then type and hit enter: cd public_html (which changes you to the public_html directory)

-then I type and hit enter: ls

(will show me everything in the public_html directory..)

-then type and hit enter: cd forums (changes you to the forums directory folder)

-then I type and hit enter: ls (shows me everything in forums/ folder)

-then I run this line command:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

Only thing is though, if you already have folders/files in there, you’ll have to delete everything EXCEPT the my-templates/, my-plugins/ .htaccess, any special plugin files outside the my-plugins folder, and config.php files. Before running the SVN CO line command..

I also tried doing this:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ . –force

Which should FORCE file overwrites within that directory, however, it won’t work on a svn checkout… Not sure why though, but.. if you follow basically what I said above, you should be ok…

You should be good to go then… I hope this helps.. Good luck!

[spencerp]

Oh ok, that makes sense. Just curious though, should the database query that we had to run, be reversed, or..anything in the database that needs changed?

I’m guessing that nothing major was really changed in the database, so no real worries of anything being screwed up, correct? Thanks for your reply Sam..

/So I guess this means I won’t have to worry about styling the “Gathering theme for bbPress” with Forum Categories in mind..

[Sam Bauers]

I’m not sure what an SVN checkout over the top of an existing installation will do. Considering how clever SVN is, I’m guessing that it will just work and create a working SVN copy.

Check the very helpful subversion book http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

My friend, this is the ONLY way to go. I previously had used PhpBB, and I was in the same boat. I wanted something simple, powerful, yet it HAD to integrate with WordPress. I was reluctant to go down this path, but I was swayed by two things:

First, I love WordPress, the community, the customizability, etc. I was impressed with the simplicity available, with more complexity/power possible depending on what the user needs. Second, I was extremely enticed by the prospect of a “seamless” integration. I won’t say that it’s been a total breeze, but compared to the PhpBB/4Images integration I did last year, integrating BBPress with WordPress was a breeze…AND A HALF! Don’t be fooled, though, this can be as simple as installing it and adding two plugins. Just depends on what your needs are.

95% or more of what I’m modifying is template based files, NOT core files. This is quite different from my PhpBB/4Images integration, where I had to hack the core to the point that an update would have been disastrous. (Consequently, I never updated it, though it didn’t matter since the site never really went live.)

So, yes, this is a beta product. And yes, some of the administration options and a few specific features present in other bb systems aren’t here.

Would I use something else if I could do it over again? NO

Do I miss any features from PhpBB? NO. In fact, what I suspected is exactly what has happened, that being that I’m as happy with what BBPress DOESN’T do as I am with what it does. Anything that I’ve needed so far has already been addressed in the forums, usually with a plugin. That makes modifying core files safe and simple. Bottom line, it works great, and I haven’t looked back.

Hope this helps.

Looks like there is some work going on to create “forum hierarchies” in the core. I think this will allow nesting of forums inside other forums. This has made some major changes to the files that were patched, so the patch will not work on the latest revisions. This patch solution will no doubt be deprecated by the changes being made now in core. I think that there was some resistance to adding another table to the database to perform this function, also the new solution will probably be more flexible, allowing for sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories, etc.

So we may have a category-like solution by 1.0 – Personally I’ll be happy not to have to update the patch file anymore. I picked bbPress for my work, because it had modern features and a release-often ethos. The category patch filled a hole in functionality for me and a few others, it was a relatively quick hack – fairly brain-dead coding. So I won’t be too sad to see it usurped. Hopefully, if anything, this patch helped make inclusion of this functionality a priority, and perhaps helped provide a UI implementation to use as an example (good, bad or ugly).

I won’t be updating the patch anymore, at least until I am sure the new hierarchical forum features cover that functionality.
