ear1grey, I concur.

I’m already using tags like WP “categories” as they are the most easy-to-use feature of bbPress (thanks, AJAX), and quite analogous to what we call “forums” anyway. After all, we’re just talking about context really, and tags achieve that easily.

My only real complaint is that the word “tag” is so generic it ends up meaning many things and nothing all at the same time – category is a much better “tag” for “tag”.

Here is the error I’m getting when I put

‘”require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”‘ into my bbpress config.php file:

Warning: main(http://www.dev.abunchofcars.com/wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! ��-@����-�”@ in /home/abunchof/public_html/dev/forum/config.php on line 3

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘http://www.dev.abunchofcars.com/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/abunchof/public_html/dev/forum/config.php on line 3

Ok, I got a slight problem, I’m trying to use WP PHP Functions such as bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); and what not, but it doesn’t work in BBPress. I added require_once(‘path-to-my-wordpress-config.php-file’) and it seems to load fine, but I still can’t use WP functions. I put that that require_once inside the config.php. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Yes it is possible.

If you havent done it already, create a folder at the root of your bbpress install called my-templates, copy front-page.php from bb-templates into my-templates. Edit front-page.php in my-templates, go to around line 44 and you will find the “Sticky” text, change it there.

Is it possible to configure bbPress to allow people to post a message as a guest, without registering a new username and logging in?

[novellino]

Hello boys, I have installed the last version of bbpress, are successful to make integration with wordpress, now I must reply the lay-out of mine blog. I have read to all the topic of the forum, trying I have uncovered that the instructions do not work. You could explain to me the procedure to execute?

Excused my bad English!

[worrypascanada]

Hello,

I’ve dumped the French translation of bbPress .mo and .po files within bbPress. My only problem, the time of my posts are in English language http://patrimoineacadien.com/babillard/ . How can I resolve to get time in French instead? I’ve checked with poEdit; the translation looks fine.

Thanks for your support.

There’s a sub-forums ticket open at the moment, assigned to Matt, and I thought have have a quick think-aloud to see how feasible this idea is…

I think the combination of forums, sub forums and tags encodes too much structure into the application and the db; I can see another (possibly more flexible) way of delivering the same capabilities, which involves three steps:

1. Add descriptions to tags, so they can behave like forums.

2. Remove the old forums altogether and instead allow tags to be sticky – sticky tags then go on the front page, with their descriptions, like forums.

3. Avoid the restrictive tree structure of forums and sub-forums by using a graph – i.e. in the same way that any post can be linked to any tag, any tag should also be able to be linked to any tag.

The net result would be the same operation for the user, but more more potential for adaptive content structure and semantically rich navigation by, for example, seeing related articles from “nearby” tags.

There’s probably other advantages, and maybe caveats that I’ve not seen…

I actually posted something in the wordpress forums, but I never did place a link here showing my integration of my bbpress theme with my current wordpress theme.

I just finished installing bbPress for the first time, and I like it very much. I just wanted to say great job!

It was very easy to customize the template to match my custom WordPress theme.

When you go to your profile preferences there should be a new section… look here:

hi people. i’ve instaled the bbpress on my server but i cant log in on my site via firefox 2, in a MAc and in PC. anyone got any inssue about?

[cagnese]

I have translated bbpress into spanish (es_AR), and you can download it from here http://isea.biz/es_AR/es_AR.rar . It includes the pot file for bbpres “Bix” version 0.73, so you can modify pot file using poEdit (http://www.poedit.org) as you like.

[otilija]

I just occurred to me, is there going to be a problem if the WP install is in / while bbpress is in /bbpress/ ? It sounds ok by my reading of the dox but I just wanted to be sure I hadn’t missed the point… and BTW i just upgraded to 2.05 and .73

I’m being marked as a bozo, and I’m the keymaster! I changed my title (misspelled a word, turning it into chatspeak) and since that is the only thing I changed I assume it to have caused bbPress to mark me as a bozo.

Two of my users have had this happen as well, and unchecking the bozo box in the user profile does not reverse it for any of us. It always reverts back to bozo status.

Is there a way of manually resetting the user’s status in the database? And can I edit a file to change what triggers the bozo status?

[johanmaelson]

I have added Wysiwyg to bbpress as a first. I choosing TinyMCE dunno why … maybe cuz i haven’t ever use this one. But it’s relay roxx nice organization and realy lightweight. Author of this subject using fckeditorm …. but this wysiwyg so slow … oh meine god …

After inserting to my bbpress TinyMCE … i’m starting to play within tags … something doesn’t works cuz BBPRESS cut out disallowed tags … i thought that i can just edit some code in bbpress plugin for image tag. After some manipulation my wysiwyg work’s well but not good as i want ))

you can check out my bbpress forum and skin which i make for it here http://www.forum.faces.kz

all suggestion and questions send to johanmaelson at gmail dot com .. or post here i’ll check this three

If anyone gets anywhere with this it would be nice to see an implementation. I’m planning (currently working on) a wordpress/bbpress site that will probably need a wiki somewhere along the line.

[circuit]

thanks for the instructions. unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.

on the page you linked to, there are two pieces of advice as to where to put the editor files:

“create a directory in the root directory called “editor” and then upload the same directory from their download page. Then drop the .js files into your root, and place the fckeditor.php file where ever you want (i chose the my-templates directory) and call it accordingly.”

or

“unrar FCKeditor_2.3.2.zip into my-templates”

Wherever I put it, it doesn’t seem to work. I have tried a directory within my-templates, dropping it directly into my-templates, and putting the relevant files in the root with my-templates holding the PHP file. In all cases I edited the path in the replacement code accordingly.

I think it’s including the PHP file OK, but I guess there is an iframe where the FCKEditor box should be, and that is just pulling the home page of my site (i.e. a 404 error, as far as I can tell).

Hello all, I ask excuse for my English. I have installed the forum, I have added the plugin for the users integration whit WP. The only problem that I have is that the users with a nickname composed from two parts come recognized nonexistent, while those written in a phrase come recognized.

EX:

pino: recognized

den yo: not recognized.

Can be resolved this problem?

[sevendotro]

I’m useing wp 2.0.5 and bbpress 0.73

Anyone?

[intelliot]

Hey, I’m interested in the idea of doing free bbPress hosting, much like WordPress.com is doing for WordPress. I have a lot of experience in this area, having done it with other forum software, and even doing some experimental multi-WordPress work even before mu came out. If you’re a PHP coder, MySQL admin, and/or Internet entrepreneur, contact me!

If you’ve got your WP+BB sharing a DB, then you can sidestep the need for changes to the BB admin UI, in which case, “all” you need to do is add template hooks that cause that plugin to insert it’s adverts in the right place (example).

[joebarone]

so here’s my first attempt at tweaking bbPress for my own purposes:

http://www.joebaronedesign.com/forum

wondering if I should keep hacking away at the hard code to change the layout and overall appearance, or if i should just wait to upgrade when the new version of bbPress is released… because I have no idea what I’m doing in CSS and PHP…drrrr

[putrimalu]

Hello,

I have this Adsense sharing plugin with my WordPress.

http://adsense.ayanev.com/

If I integrate BBPress with my WordPress, will ads placed in BBPress also have the same effect – to give the topic starter half the profits?

If not, anyone know a way to accomplish this? Thanks!

[ear1grey]

Hi Null, to do that you need to change your template a bit and create a new hook, which is dead easy, and a testament to the flexibility of the event model that underpins both WP&bb.

1. Copy topic.php from bb-templates into my-templates (you may need to create this folder).
2. Find the for loop near line 29 – it will read something like this: <?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>
3. Immediately before it (outside the loop, but inside the <?php) add the line $need_to_show_ad=true;
4. Then change the line <?php bb_post_template(); ?> to read <?php bb_post_template(); if ($need_to_show_ad) { do_action('showadvert'); $need_to_show_ad=false; } ?>
5. Finally, change the action in the plugin so it fires on your newly created hook add_action('showadvert', array('bb_adsense','wide_advert'));

… and an admin page? Maybe when bbPress matures!
