It sounds like what you need is to overload the bb_get_location function. This is easy to do in bbpress. You need to make a set of functions like this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_bb_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

apply_filter( 'get_bb_location', 'get_home_location' );

That’s untested, but I think that should work. Basically what you want to do is add in your locational test when bb_location is called. Then you can just call is_home() and it’ll do what you want. Of course, if you don’t want any other part of the forum to care if it’s on the home or not, you can take out all that stuff at the end that integrates it with get_bb_location, and just do this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_home_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

Whichever you want to do. The second is easier, the first is more versatile.

What does it matter that what bbpress sees at “front-page” isn’t the actual front page of your site? It’s just a moniker used throughout the program, it doesn’t have to mean anything to you.

Well wrong, I am working on a menu for the forum and it defeniatily is important that the call back is accurate.

Some excample code menu:

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

<a href="<?php option('uri'); ?>">Forums</a>

<?php

}

?></li>

Here you can see is_front and we also have is_forum so I need to add is_home aswell in order to make the menu work

Well I understand your explaination of how things work. I started home.php from index.php and edited/deleted things i didn’t need to make my own startpage. I also wanted to keep the normal index file, thats why I renamed them. Unfortunally the addons i did in the template functions don’t work unless i keep it like this:

case 'home.php' :

return 'front-page';

break;

And then the id won’t work too, cause is_front() is called (and not is_home) so it gets the front-page id.

Well going to release my project very soon (as soon as I found a solution for my DIV problem), perhaps you can help me better then.

Really appreciate the time helping me out!!

What does it matter that what bbpress sees at “front-page” isn’t the actual front page of your site? It’s just a moniker used throughout the program, it doesn’t have to mean anything to you.

Not a lot needs to change when adding a new page. Make a file in your forums root directory call it whatever, like null.php. set it up like this:

<?php

require_once('./bb-load.php');

***[if you need any code, put it here]***

if ( file_exists(BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php') ) {

require( BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php' );

} else {

echo "File does not exist in my-templates folder";

}

?>

Then make a file in your my-templates folder called nullsfile.php and make it look like an html file, but be sure to set it up like this:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

***[put all your html code here with calls to php functions]***

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

At that point, you have a page integrated into bbpress. What you do in those two files is up to you. To access the file, you just go to forumsroot/null.php (if you have pretty links turned on, you don’t need the .php part). If you need called functions, standard is to put them into a file in the my-plugins folder.

In some of the plugins I’ve made, my main file does stuff like detects if something is set in the address line by checking the $_GET[] variable, or it pulls information needed by the required my-templates file by running a database query…

That all make sense?

Don’t expect this as long as BBpress has no template thingy like WP has. At least I think…

[Platzhirsch]

Where can I find any kind of templates for bbpress for download?

Whether they are individual files or whole packages…

Thanks in advcance.

I’ve got a new installation of bbPress which is integrated into a mammoth WordPress site and I’m quite pleased with the outcome. The only real roadblock I’ve hit cropped up while testing.

If a user doesn’t close an HTML tag in their post, the formatting is carried through to the rest of the site (yikes!). As you can imagine, things can get ugly real quick when this happens. And it will happen, without a doubt.

Anyone aware of a fix for this? Did some searching and browsing but didn’t find any mention of this.

[pilkster]

Hey Trent ~ here’s me thinking that all my users being marked as bozos might be causeing the problems I am having with the integration. Even the keymaster is marked as a bozo. Guess that isn’t the problem though.

[pilkster]

Hi again Trent

I’ve had another go. Here are the steps I have taken:

Created a new account on my server (taxdeduct.net)

Installed WP 2.0.5 via fantastico

Downloaded BB from this site

Created database and user through cpanel. Added user to database with all privileges >> sidenote: https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ does not mention setting up the database. A bit confusing.

Copied config-sample.php to config.php, edited with my info

Uploaded to host

Ran bb-admin/install.php

Downloaded https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/438/bbpress-integration.php – uploaded to WP plugins dir, activated and configured with tables prefix.

Created new user on bbpress… couldn’t log in to WP.

Created new user on WP… couldn’t log in to bbpress.

My head hurts from pulling at my hair

Another question: do you have to allow new user registrations on your blog for the plugin to work?

[lzooml]

I wanna emplace the my forum to my blog on a new page.

is a plug-in exist for this procedure

[hanbit]

please vist http://www.bbpress.com.cn

[aquaibm]

If it does, that would be suffice for me.

[Anonymous User 133554]

Hi,

Have you checked if FILENAME (line 85) is writeable by the server? If it is, try switching EXPORT_TO_FILE to false and AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA to true. As usual, please do always a database backup before.

Hope it helps

[so1o]

in function post_form –

$page == get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts + $add )

this is probably being evaluated as false.

i say this because this your paging is messed up..

http://booksinbed.com/wordpress/bbpress/topic.php?id=3&page=2

if you go to the above link the number 1 should have link in the page navigation. in your case page 2 has..

debug the get_page_number function whats getting loose..

[jaxxx]

hmm. i tried this, but get this error after step 8:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in phpbb2bbpress.php on line 383

any suggestions?

[Justin Tadlock]

I just started a new site at http://booksinbed.com/wordpress/bbpress (the forum pat of the site) using bbpress.

The problem I’m having can be found on this page:

http://booksinbed.com/wordpress/bbpress/topic.php?id=3

What is happening is when I exceed “The number of topics that show on each page,” which was set at 15 in my config.php file, the posting form disappears.

I am at a loss as of what to do to fix this.

[Trent Adams]

Personally, I have had issues with this as well. I would suggest creating a .htaccess file and place it in your bbpress root directory and only adding the following to it:

Options +MultiViews

That seems to work for most people. Try that first maybe? If not, maybe check what format you have in your WP .htaccess and try a combination of either the previous code or what rewrite-rules.php spits out for you.

Thanks,

Trent

[klueders]

Trent … thanks for the quick response …

i just found this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/378?replies=16

and that seems to have fixed it.

should I replace the contents of my .htaccess file with “Options +MultiViews”?

or leave as is?

thanks again.

[Trent Adams]

You have permalinks set to true in the config.php, yet your .htaccess doesn’t know what to do with it, hense the errors.

Take a look at:

hi,

i was able for the most part to get bbpress installed and integrated with an existing wp site. here’s a link:

http://www.sleeptalkin.com/blog/bbpress/

i’m just having an issues with some of the pages not being found. for example … i can create an issue but can view any of them:

http://www.sleeptalkin.com/blog/bbpress/topic/4?replies=1

any thought on this?

thank for any help you can provide.

There is a (very young) bbPress Spanish community at http://www.bbpress.es/

Regards.

[pompilos]

The standard Spanish localization can be downloaded from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/6/page/2?replies=43#post-2213

A friend of mine translated the .po and .mo into standard Spanish (es_ES), to use them in our forum. You can donwload the files from here: http://blog.pompilos.org/files/bbpress-es_ES.rar

[spencerp]

YES! Thank you so much fixing this. Everything seems to be fixed, however, I’m still getting this database error message above the forum header..

When in a thread, and clicking the “PM This User” link, it spits out this database error message:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘mydatabase_name.bb_users’ doesn’t exist] SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 2

I’ve tried both versions of the plugin, redownloaded the original one, and then tried the .73a one.. same error message..

[bakedlogdotcom]

This is the same on one of my servers. It doesn’t work either way, but Rewrite works with WP….strange.

I thought I was going crazy but thank you, it works for WP but not bbPress what is going on haha. Good Luck!
