I thought the secret to making a new page that is included into the bbpress fileset is to add the require_once('./bb-load.php');

However, this must not be the secret because it doesn’t let me do stuff like get_header(). On the other hand, it sees my plugin file and gets the information I want from it.

What am I doing wrong? I have a file dropped into the http root with the require_once and then requiring the work page in my-templates, but nothing inside the my-templates file works (ie. no bbpress functions in the file work).

Hi,

We’ve installed bbPress in our WordPress Turkey Forums instead of phpBB.

Now, we have the same problem..

Our server’s time is GMT -8 and our country’s (Turkey) time is GMT +2

When we set $bb->gmt_offset = -8; (server’s local time)

Frehness is ok on main page. But topics’ and posts’ times are wrong now.

When we set $bb->gmt_offset = +2; (Turkey’s local time)

Freshness is not ok, (seems like -1 years) but topics’ and posts’ times are correct now.

How can we fix it?

try changing

$bb->domain = 'http://www.wonderliver.com/bbpress';

$bb->path = '/';

to

$bb->domain = 'http://www.wonderliver.com';

$bb->path = '/bbpress/';

A clean install of .73 with it’s own mysql NO wordpress integration

After installing everything went fine till after logging in to do anything! The main screen is displaying just fine, but any links clicked after give the cookie issue below… and yes I have looked at the other postings but the all incorporate WP which I’m not. Regardless, I’m not refusing cookies so I’m at a loss as to why it would say this and refuse every other page but the dashboard…

Thank you for your help, the error is displayed below

Wonderliver.com/bbpress

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete

@so1o: yes thats clear, but what is the difference between your plugin and the one from papercuts3’s first post?!

@trent: as a moderator you should add the new plugins here as there are already some…

[hdiaz]

I have installed wordpress in the main dierctory, and bbpress as a subdirectory. They are both working fine.

I read the following entry :https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

However I would like to doble check.

“defining WP_BB as true” does it mean ..= ‘wp_bb’ ; or …= ‘true’ ; ?

and,

“define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address, respectively.”

does it mean :

$bb->wp_home = ‘url of wp’;

and,

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘url of wp’;

Thank you!

So10. That is beautiful! There are 4 or 5 of you that really are rocking and rolling! I will do some research here because really there are about 20-30 plugins now for bbPress bouncing around. I will try and think of a way to get them listed in one place…..

I would love to see something like sub-forums implemented into bbPress earlier in the “game”. I think that would be so awesome. phpBB hasn’t even gotten to that “point” until phpBB3 beta or whatever.. lol!

I know it might not work, and function extacly like “that”, but.. atleast it’s a start of it..

[Null]

<?php $topics = $bbdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE forum_id = $forum_id ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10”) ?> gives me a error:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10’ at line 1]

SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE forum_id = ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,10

[ardentfrost]

This plugin is another simple one. It allows you to set an inactivity limit on threads shown on the forum main page. The default is set to 7 days, and if you like that setting, then all you have to do is put the file in your my-plugins directory. If you want to change it, it’s easy enough (desciption in the readme).

You can download the file and read the instructions at http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_limit_recent_activity/

You can see it being used at http://www.rayd.org/forums/ (notice how there are no threads in the “Latest Discussion” section whose last post is older than a week).

Enjoy!

[ardentfrost]

I think I made a similar script yesterday. I didn’t make it as a widget because I never did much customization with wordpress itself.

Anyone got an example of this being used? I might want to change the way mine looks if another looks better. (if you want to see what I did, you can view it at http://www.rayd.org/ … the right side forum list thing)

[spencerp]

Yeah true.. Trent, thanks for clarifying that for everyone, and me!

/Me didn’t get to bed yet, so.. my brain is now working in reverse, compared to your’s.. since you got the sleep.. lol!!

[Trent Adams]

Needs to be an option though because with that code in there, it will exclude when most users wouldn’t really need anything excluded. As well, that is only for the sidebar part, not the widget.

Trent

[spencerp]

This is the block of database code that Trent had “fixed” up for me, to exclude the one forum.

(Found near end of plugin file)

function wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar() {

global $wpdb,$bbpath;

$bbtopic = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status = 0 AND forum_id NOT IN ('3') ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10");

Where => (‘3’) is the forum id to exclude..

You’re so awesome!! It works!! Thanks a ton!!

[Trent Adams]

It isn’t put in as an option, (though it would be easy to do), but all it really is, is adding SQL statement to exclude a forum. Maybe a guy should put a plugin code option for number of posts displayed as well as excluding a forum.

Glad to see someone is using my plugin The plugin has been listed before but it gone now, thank’s for re-posting it.

Maybe u can send me the fix and i add it into the plugin.

This is currently the only way that bbPress gives new users passwords. It serves a double purpose. The first is a record of a password for a user if they don’t end up changing it and second of all, it makes sure that people register with an actual email address (which stops most spam bots right there) because they have to retrieve their password from email.

If you need something, I would assume it would require a core hack unless someone can develop a plugin. Right now, I don’t think anything is in the works.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I don’t know if this plugin is listed anywhere in the forum (can’t find it), but this is a plugin that will have recent forum posts from bbPress in your WordPress blog. Sidebar or otherwise. I use it and it is a great little plugin:

Recent bbPress Discussion in WP Plugin

As well, if you want to exclude a particular forum from the list, I have a little fix. Reply if that would help you.

[richardjeanderson]

OK, I’ve solved the problem!

The version of PHP on my server is 4.4.4, which should be compatible with bbpress. I recalled that in my moodle installation, we hit issues that could be resolved by adding a .htaccess file with the following line:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

i.e. asking for php to be interpreted as php 5? (I’m not a php person – is that correct?).

Creating a .htaccess file with this line in it and dropping it into my bbpress folder solves the tag.php problem . . . .

[spencerp]

ardentfrost, maybe you can help me..? I’m using the bbPress Post (0.02) by mByte, and with his plugin.. I had made a forum for the blog posts to show up, however.. I would like to make the blog posts, stay ONLY IN the “Blog Article Discussions” forum..

Instead of them showing up in the “Latest Discussions” part of the forums index page.. And just have ONLY the threads made in the forums, show in the “Latest Discussions” section of the forum.. Is there maybe something that could be done for this?

I’m basically asking to exclude one of the forums, from the “Latest Discussions” section. Thanks in advanced..

spencerp

[richardjeanderson]

I’ve reuploaded bbpress – makes no difference.

I’ve removed plugin (display_name.php)

I temporarily renamed my_templates folder to return back to default template.

The forum now sits at http://www.learning2goblog.org/forum

Click any of the tags and it takes you to the correct page. Click on the breadcrumb to take you back to tags.php and it dies as described.

All very strange . . . .

Since Ahni was interested, and I’ve been itching to do a conversion script to see how easy/hard it can be, I figured I’d chime in. I’m not familiar with either application’s inner workings, but looking at a database and comparing — now that I can get into!

So, technically, I’m only interested to do a direct convert based on what he wants, if I get around to it at all (don’t want to make any promises here). Anyone else would be more than welcome to modify whatever code I write later on. I can make it publically available. Should be pretty simple, I would think.
