That option (a) would maybe require a plugin that maybe someone would be nice enough to write for you as I don’t think it would be too hard.

Option (b) is already available:

Elo,

Does anyone know of any plugins that offer (or perhaps these could be features?)….

(a) An option to automagically add post replies to my favourites ? ( I’m too lazy to click the link after I’ve posted ;op )

(b) An aggregated feed for all forums, so I can just subscribe to bbpress.org/forums/feed ( for example ) rather than going through each board ( yeah, I’m lazy here to! ).

Cheers

Not all the servers, just the one that’s in charge of bbPress.org and WordPress.org.

It’s getting hammered after the release of WP 2.1.

We’re getting new servers soon, though, so take heart!

[tominated]

the thing is, i am not using a theme, per say. i have got an index.php file and then have a folder with the worpress installation. i have just followed a tutorial, i have not got a proper theme applied to WP. the tutorial i followed it here. It is a tutorial for an awesome mac-only program called RapidWeaver

[Trent Adams]

That is a nice integration that you have there! Playing around with the theme is really time consuming and each time I make a new bbPress template (now 7 different ones), it is always a different process so I can’t even write a manual! It is all using CSS and comparing the bbPress and WP stylesheets! Always fun though! Thanks for the everyone!

Just until it gets picked up in the plugin directory, here is Visual Support Forums for bbPress.

This is an extension to the Support Forums plugin and requires it to work, it also needs to be loaded after that plugin, thus the slightly kludgy name.

The plugin will add cute little dots in front of your topics to indicate their support status, it will also remove the “[closed]” prefix and replace it with a nice little lock icon.

No configuration is necessary, just drop the files in your plugin directory.

Just FYI, I got another 408 error when trying to reply on a topic today.

Oops, should have posted this on my other thread:

Hi Mike. This has been discussed a few times here. Words are separated by spaces into tags when the post is created, but later, when adding tags, the whole line of input becomes a tag.

Greets:

I think I’ve noticed with bbpress is how it handles tags made after a post is created. We have someone over at the wp.com forums who goes back through and adds tags into the threads which is cool. The only issue is that she (I have a feeling I know who it is) puts everything into the line at once. For example she’ll add in:

blogdesk offline blogging tool

into the line of a thread that’s already in existance and then hit enter. All that goes in as one tag.

Does the software do that on purpose or is that just an oversight?

Thanks,

I’m very new to bbPress and am trying to list all members but I want to display specific information. I have installed the memberlist plugin which works brilliantly. However it displays User, Homepage and join date. I would much prefer to see user, location, occupation and interests.

I assume this would be the SQL created by the memberlist plugin but I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to SQL so any help would be great.

I would also like to rename (just for display purposes) ‘interests’ to ‘skills’ on the profile pages and wherever else it might be displayed.

[Trent Adams]

That goes in the config.php in the bbPress install.

Hmm I was working on such a plugin too. Also looked at FCKeditor, but it is kinda big and doesn’t work with Opera. I haven’t had good experience with TinyMCE, so I’ve decided to use an opensource WYSIWYG.

It aint finished and if these other editors work good, there is no need for another one.

[tominated]

I am quite proficient at CSS, but i am no good with php. BTW: I didn’t really understand that article, it wasn’t very good english. I do understand everything up from the cookies stuff, but not below it. Could you please dumb it down a bit? if you want to see what i am trying to do, visit http://blog.tominatedsoftware.com/ and you can see that i have integrated wordpress with the rest of my site at http://tominatedsoftware.com/

[Trent Adams]

It is a bit of a complete thing if you don’t know CSS really well and the functions for bbPress. You can look at how the default theme is produced, or just take a look at this from So10

wordpress and bbpress theme integration

[tominated]

Is it possible to integrate a bbpress forum into an existing site (so i don’t have to mess around with making a theme for bbpres) by using php functions? I am not very good (that is an overstatement) at php. I followed a tutorial that let me integrate a wordpress blog into my site, and this is the code it gave me

what would i have to do to get bbpress integrated into my site? I heard somewhere that the function names are very similar to wordpress, so what code would i put in to get the forum categories then the recent posts, etc.?

[sbpmedia]

I’ll try to add TinyMCE in the morning.

I hope i can figure it out

[ateale]

Hi Trent thanks for your help!

i made those changes but still seem to get this error:

Warning: main(www/blog/wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lumanati/www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'www/blog/wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/lumanati/www/blog/bbpress/config.php on line 3

i have no idea!

thanks for your help so far!

In bbpress it is called ‘bb_init’ … do you mean this?

[baptiste]

I brain locked. bb_head is probably too late for this. Is there an equivalent of the ‘init’ hook for bbPress? In WordPress, that filter hook gets run after the environment initializes. That’s when the code I included would need to be run. I can’t seem to find an applicable filter hook called that early.

[baptiste]

Would the solution be to execute a stripslashes_deep on GET, POST, etc if WP_BB is true? Seems kinda dangerous – but bbpress doesn’t expect this in a non-integrated environment, so undoing what wp-settings.php does (which gets run when you include wp-config to get the WordPress API) seems harmless enough.

Maybe something along the lines of:

function bb_undo_wp_slashes() {

$_GET = stripslashes_deep($_GET );

$_POST = stripslashes_deep($_POST );

$_COOKIE = stripslashes_deep($_COOKIE);

$_SERVER = stripslashes_deep($_SERVER);

}

and call that as a filter for bb_head?

if (defined('WP_BB') && WP_BB) add_action('bb_head', 'bb_undo_wp_slashes');

I think bb_head is called after the environment is setup.

I may give this a try. Thoughts from developers who know more about bbPress than I?

[baptiste]

Weird. I have magic quotes off. However, I notice that wp-settings adds slashes to EVERY request in wp-settings:

// If already slashed, strip.

if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {

$_GET = stripslashes_deep($_GET );

$_POST = stripslashes_deep($_POST );

$_COOKIE = stripslashes_deep($_COOKIE);

}

// Escape with wpdb.

$_GET = add_magic_quotes($_GET );

$_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST );

$_COOKIE = add_magic_quotes($_COOKIE);

$_SERVER = add_magic_quotes($_SERVER);

Is bbpress not expecting this? This might explain the double slashing even if magic quotes is off (I checked my php.ini – it is off)

[baptiste]

So I’ve been digging further into the strange behavior I’ve had with slashes in posts AND with HTML tag attributes being yanked out.

It’s all related. Apparently, there is some type of problem where slashes get added TWICE when the WP intergation is on. This is why slashes start showing up everywhere and why kses fails.

I finally discovered that even though the stripslashes filter is called before bb_filter_kses, there are still slashes in front of the quotes of the attributes. So they get tossed.

So I took out all the stripslashes hacks I had put into the title and post routines and called stripslashes TWICE as a pre_post filter. Voila – attributes are preserved.

add_filter('pre_post', 'stripslashes', 40);

add_filter('pre_post', 'stripslashes', 45); // 2nd Time

I also added this little section in default-filters.php:

// Slash problems when integrated with WordPress

if (defined('WP_BB') && WP_BB) {

add_filter('post_text', 'stripslashes');

add_filter('get_topic_title', 'stripslashes');

add_filter('get_bb_title', 'stripslashes');

add_filter('edit_text', 'stripslashes');

}

And it stripped out the slashes in titles, browser bars, posts, edit screens, etc. (Note there is a missing semi-colon after the sort_tag_heat_map line – you need to add on if you put this at the end)

This is still a hack. I don’t have magic quotes on. I still need to dig and find out why there seems to be alternate behavior when wordpress is integrated or not. Maybe WordPress is turning on magic quotes and bbPress doesn’t expect it to be on?

Still digging.

[ear1grey]

Can you confirm what I asked earlier about the content of $rw[“location”]?

If that is what you’re doing then modify this example:

<?php

function exampleOne() {

return "bb";

}

function exampleTwo() {

return "press";

}

$rw["one"] = "exampleOne";

$rw["two"] = "exampleTwo";

$switchOne = call_user_func($rw["one"]);

$switchTwo = call_user_func($rw["two"]);

echo($switchOne);

echo($switchTwo);

?>

Obviously you don’t need the example methods, but just use call_user_func on the name of the method you’re pulling from the DB.
