mdawaffe’s plugin isn’t as cool as mine

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1

j/k about mine being cooler, but it may work in a way that you like better

Ok, you can download the template from here:

http://open-dialogue.com/blog/2007/02/13/navigation-for-bbpress/

Please let me know how I can tweak it to make it better.

The problem with localhost will be addressed in the next version for sure, but it always helps to check out this ticket for reference to any problems with localhost installs:

Very nice, Sabutay. Saved me a bit of time but you left out the “page_item” function as in:

<ul class=”menu”>

<li class=”page_item”>Home

<li class=”page_item”>About

<li class=”current_page_item”>Forums

You can check it out here.

Now on to get the admin menu added… thanks!

This plugin has been merged with the original Support Forum plugin.

View this topic for more info.

[Sam Bauers]

The Support Forum plugin has been upgraded to version 1.2.

It now includes the features of the Visual Support Forum plugin as options.

Download via the plugin browser.

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve committed and tagged version 1.2.

Moving it to version 2.0 seemed a bit excessive to me. I even considered 1.1.1 for a second there…

Anyway, the plugin site should have this updated soon.

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve just updated the previous patch file to address the WordPress integration/function naming issues.

Download from here – categories-build701.patch

You should read the relevant comment about the updated patch.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

That version of the plugin should work fine, but the most recent version (Front Page Topics 0. is a bit more configurable.

okay Sam, some serious wordpress integration issues here… below are the clashes with wordpress and the offending files…

get_category()

get_categories()

root: forum.php, topic.php, index.php

admin: content-categories.php, content-forums.php, bb-category.php

bb-includes: functions.php, template-functions.php, cache.php

is_category()

bb-includes: functions.php, template-functions.php

get_category_link()

bb-includes: functions.php, template-functions.php

category_description()

template: category.php, front-page.php

bb-includes: template-functions.php

get_category_rss_link()

bb-includes: template-functions.php

whew… after adding bb_ to the front of all those items in bbpress, I finally got it to run the upgrade script, which worked…

now to see if it works as something looks a bit odd in the display of the category…

Does this topic help at all?

This is now a full-fledged plugin. It could certainly use some expansion and improvement, but this satisfies my requirements, and I suspect it will satisfy many others’ requirements, as well.

I’ve decided that I’m OK with two separate logins against the same user table, as spencerp’s solution leaves us with. I’m further integrating them now with OpenID. The VerseLogic WordPress OpenID plugin works perfectly, but I have not yet installed the MediaWiki OpenID extension, which will remain necessary since logging in will still be handled by MediaWiki itself.

After that, we’ll get to a level of integration I’ve yet to really even think about: user preferences and profiles. My initial thoughts on that are to point the bbPress profiles to the MediaWiki User pages, and develop an extension to display forum user information. Editing preferences might be easier by learning how each program stores that information and writing a whole new script to handle it. I’m certainly open to alternative ideas.

Hello!

My question is about embedding the bbPress into the WP.

I’d like my WP to work like this website.

I’ve installed the WP, bbP and the integrater plugin (activeted) you advised in an article.

Can you advise me what should I do?

Many thanks guys!

I recently installed bbPress to localhost to experiment before I put it on a live site. Strangely, the stylesheet was being ignored. Looking at the source brought up this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost#support/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

Edit: OK, I can’t seem to type a backslash here, but the # symbol in the above code snippet is actually a backslash (opposite of /)

I have no idea why the slash after localhost is backwards. It appears correctly in all other locations. For what it’s worth, here is the relevant section of my config.php file:

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = 'http://localhost'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path   = '/support/';               // Example: '/forums/'

Any help?

I’ve made my first attempt ever at theme-building by trying to port the Navigation theme for WordPress over to bbPress. You can see it in action on my test setup:

http://open-dialogue.com/bbpress

I’m not entirely happy with the way the forum tables display. It looks ok on a 1024×768 resolution, but they mass to the left a bit too much for my liking on higher resolutions (I use 1280×1024). I’m at a bit of a loss, though, to know how to stretch them out enough to fill out the extra white space to the right. I’d be open for suggestions on how to tweak the stylesheet further.

I’m also not real crazy about the login form location, but I’m not sure of a better place to put it.

Everything else seems to look and operate alright. Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated. I’m still figuring out some the latest nuances in stylesheeting (it’s been a few years since I’ve done much site design).

[ear1grey]

It looks nice and clean, although, I notice in your own forum it doesn’t currently validate. Once you get that all happy, don’t forget to validate the css too.

I go to translate… sorry…

Right now, all my users are members, and I don’t want to make them moderators, but is there a user level I can assign to them to bypass the akismet check, so their posts go through without being checked for spam? What happens now is that if they user tinyurl for long urls or put more than about 3 or 4 (not sure exactly) links, akismet flags them as spam. I would like to use akismet, but I don’t want my regular member’s posts to be filtered.

Can that be done?

I am using .73 but am upgrading to .80 in the next couple of days, if that matters. And I am half-way integrated with WP – the users appear in the WP users page. Oddly, there, most are marked “no role for this blog” although in bbPress > Users they are marked as members.

edit: I should have said “specific user’s posts” – right now, I have akismet turned off so no member’s posts are checked by akismet, but I wonder if there’s a way to “approve” certain members?

[mrpapasworld]

having problems getting this to worked… because of mods, applying the patch by hand… so its probably me but really stumped…

after doing the changes, had an error, so double checked everything… still no dice… so I decided to bite the bullet and do it the patch way… as luck would have it my host doesnt seem to allow patch to work – diff issue I will take up with him…

anyways, started from a clean 0.8 install and applied the patch by hand again… end up getting the same error again… double checked and everything looks good…

Here’s the error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_categories() (previously declared in /xxxxxx/wp-includes/category.php:14) in /xxxxxx/forums/bb-includes/functions.php on line 3

oh man… AAARGGH… as I sit here typing this in, it just hit me what is wrong and why I wasted time into the wee hours trying to solve it…

has anyone tried this category patch in a bbpress integrated with wordpress?? it seems the category functions are clashing between the two…

geez… I dont know how many times I read that last night and never noticed that… another reason why you do work real late at night 😉 helps if you can read too 😛

any thoughts on this working with a bbpress/wordpress integrated situation?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Updated.

“The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.”

Are you trying to run the install script or the upgrade script? If you already have a database, you should be running the upgrade script:

bb-admin/upgrade.php

Is it a complete database, or did you only keep certain tables?

In your PHPMyAdmin, what bb_ tables do you see before and after running the install/upgrade script?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

flaerpen,

Could you try on your localhost version two of the plugin you tried?

https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/575/path-to-url.2.php

(Download link at the bottom.)

First delete the first version of the plugin you have installed.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

travelsuperlink (and others seeing this problem),

If you could help us debug the problem, that’d be very helpful.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/585

You can log in with your bbpress.org username/password.

…like in WordPress? The additional use of “template” will tend to divide and confuse, no?

Like how, across software, plugins are either “mods”, “modules”, “extensions” or “addons”.

Now’s the time! We can still consolidate the concept into one term.

I’m splitting hairs, I know . bbPress is wonderful. Thanks so much to the developers. I’m a phpBB veteran (admin), and bbPress is so nice I want to cry.

[chrishajer]

I saw this in bb-admin/upgrade.php

// Very old (pre 0.7) installs may need further upgrade utilities. Post to https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev if needed

I wonder what version you were using? In bb-includes/functions.php, there is a section for version.

        case 'version' :

return '0.73';

break;

Maybe that will help someone help the upgrade script for you.
