If the format isn’t 100%, bbPress has a tendancy to strip the HTML out of the post. It will automatically hyperlink a URL, but if you try doing a simple a href and it strips it, it might have been a missing ” or something. Let us know, but I have no issues with this unless the formatting is not 100% correct.

I’m working to setup a new site with WP 2.1 and bbPress 0.75 So far the integration has worked very well and I’ve primarily been tweaking the themes.

Anyway, one weird thing I’ve noticed is if I include a link in a post (std a href=””) and submit it, the href attribute is stripped out completely. All that is left in the post when I edit it again is the link text surrounded by empty a tags (tried to use & lt ; in my post and it got converted to tags – wild)

I plan to dig through the code a bit and see what might be causing this. I’m not using any plugins beyond the standard WP integration on. It’s a fairly stock install.

Wouldn’t that be the allowed tags in WordPress, not bbPress forum though right drmike?

It has to be related to this post

Make sure you post your solution when you compare your template versus the default!

[hexaust]

nope..I didnt..Ive uploaded again again bb-post.php … and still nothing… I really dont know whats the deal..Ill back-up my curent theme..and Ill upload the default bbPress theme…to see what happens

[Trent Adams]

I like it! Very nice! I am sure Brad with proforum this!

[Trent Adams]

Sorry about that as I wasn’t look at the sticky posts, what language are you after? There is some language links in the bbPress Internationalization post as well as maybe search for your language using the search function of the forums!

[Trent Adams]

First off, it hasn’t even been on hour on a Saturday for a volunteer support forum! So what version of bbPress are you using? Did you recently install and plugins or upgrade your bbPress installation. Do you have a URL that we can take a look at?

I dug around the bb-includes last night and found where the allowed_tags (or whatever it was called) function was and just added it.

I’m using bbpress as a checklist and wanted the tag to mark off stuff when issues were completed.

del? Didn’t think of that. Well, they’re both in there and Igotta admit XHTML isn’t high on my list for a support forum.

Thanks,

edit: Could have sworn we had them on the wp.com forums…

Hi All,

I thought I’d share my crack at k2 for bbpress, just replace style.css with my one, it’s not perfect, but I think it’s a good start !

Download: http://www.linickx.com/files/k2-for-bbpress.v0-01.style.css

Demo: http://forum.linickx.co.uk/

Blog Post: http://www.linickx.com/blog/archives/253/k2-for-bbpress/

let me know what you think

[tedinoz]

“a list of all the functions in /my-includes/template-functions.php”

Indeed, and to be honest I forgot about that.

Anyway, wouldn’t it be neat to see some examples, etc a la the WordPress codex.

If we assume for a moment, that there a several people who would be happy to contribute to a topic like that, where do we go to from here, and how does it get collated in documentation.

FWIW, bbPress forums are terrific, but they are often answering simple questions (like mine??) that really should be in documentation. Someone suggested a wiki but I think WP has been there and done that. Somehow the user community needs a forum (excuse the pun) to help build the documentation.

Gee, sounds like I’m all fired up, which I’m not. But I can see bbPress dying on the vine for want of continuous improvement in documentation.

Similar to the “split topic” idea, another moderator tool that would be a boon would be the ability to create a post in the name of one of the users.

Say, for example, they’ve left a comment on a WP thread; it would be nice to be able to migrate that comment (ok eventually an automated migration or total integration would be nice, but in the meantime manually doing it is acceptable, but it’s seems a bit impossible currently).

[startribe]

Another question that would be a solution… is there a way to limit the length of bbPress forum title posts?

[startribe]

Hey Community,

I had a question about this latest discussion plugin, which is awesome by the way:

http://www.atsutane.net/2006/11/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wordpress/

Is there a way to shorten the length of the titles being pulled from the forum.

For Example, for a forum with a title as:

“this is a forum title and I am a bad poster who make titles way to long”

to this:

“this is a forum title…”

This would really help out because our latest discussions from the forum on our wordpress home page break a bit when the titles get to long.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

Sam, thanks for giving us a different direction. I forgot all about the database collation. This post in particular, and the thread too, had some good information about this:

Greets:

Is there any reason (ie security?) why not to use the strike tag within out bbpress install?

Thanks,

[raecp]

Where is the documentation on implementing a search from the first page of bbpress? Or could someone tell me how to do it? Thank you.

[firewire11]

Ok fixed, thanks.

But now when I browse to /forums/ it isn’t integrated with theme?

The register link from the forums is integrated into wordpress theme, though the page is messed up.

I am a technician for Audio, Video, and Control equipment. The only programming I do at work is control programming, but it’s not like php and stuff. I got into bbpress plugins because I wanted to brush up on php skills and learn SQL… plus it’s fun (and doesn’t look bad on a resume).

[chrishajer]

From the source of install.php:

// Let's check to make sure bb isn't already installed.

...

if ( $installed )

...

die(__('<h1>Already Installed</h1><p>You appear to have already installed bbPress. Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade scripts instead? To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.</p>') . '</body></html>');

I think it would just work by browsing to your forum in that case.

[chrishajer]

Is this helpful?

Hello, I’m trying to integrate my bbpress forum and our blog. I’ve made my own template in bbpress, which i’m very pleased with, but I can’t get it work.

The problem is that i can’t login to my forum. I’ve tried to login with members I’ve manually added in wp and a user that i created in bbpress! It seems that I login but I can’t reach the panel that a user who is logged in is able to! When I write a username and pw correctly it doesn’t say anything, just “jumping” to the root. But when I write a bad uname and pw it says that its wrong uname and pw!

I’m triyng to not use my own “plugin” (tabs and loginform) but it still dont work!

Is there something I have forgotten to do?

(im using the 0.75 bbpress and the newest wordpress)

[firewire11]

Hi, found this link in another post

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

Following the steps and I get

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_serialized() (previously declared in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:916) in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 165

What does this mean? Or can someone put me in the direction of another way to do it? Quite surprised there’s nothing in bbpress’s documentation about this?

Plugin inspired by http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/625

Adds a new Admin section where you can add users if you want to. It’s just like the “add new user” function in wordpress.

Download here:

To install simply put it into your /my-plugins/ folder.
