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.

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?

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.

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).

Can be resolved this problem?

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!

Hello world

I need help from you.

http://www.glosar-media.ro – it’s the domain

http://www.glosar-media.ro/forum – here is the forum

It dosen’t seems to be integrating with WP

1. I want to colect users from WP db

2. I can’t login, the user & pass dosen’t work…

Pls help!

My config.php:

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix  = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = 'http://www.glosar-media.ro'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path   = '/forum/';				   // Example: '/forums/'

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name   = 'New bbPress Site';

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = '[edited by Trent]';

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset.  Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = +2;

// Your Akismet Key.  You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet's powerful spam blocking, you'll need one.  You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = false;

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = true;  // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

$bb->wp_home = true;  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = true;  // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.

//define('WP_BB', true);

/* Stop editing */

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

?>

Thx for your time!

I’d advise against using header.php, because your header is also shown on non-content pages such as 404’s; something which is disallowed in the adsense T’s and C’s.

I did it by writing a small plugin, which you’re welcome to. Just create a my-plugins folder within your bbpress root folder, paste the text below into the file and save it as bbpress-adsense.php, upload it to your server and an advert will appear on every topic.

From there on you have the basics for changing the advert to whatever you prefer.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Simple bbPress Adsense

Plugin URI: http://boakes.org/talk/tags/bbpress-adsense

Description: An plugin that includes an adsense advert just above the content on the topic page.

Author: Rich Boakes

Version: 0.1

Author URI: http://boakes.org

*/

class bb_adsense {

function wide_advert() {

?>

<div class="bbpress-adsense" style="text-align:center;">

<!-- Paste your advert below this line -->

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "pub-9050338238897291";

google_ad_width = 728;

google_ad_height = 90;

google_ad_format = "728x90_as";

google_ad_type = "text_image";

google_ad_channel = "5984252204";

google_color_border = "FFFFFF";

google_color_bg = "EEEEEE";

google_color_link = "990000";

google_color_text = "333333";

google_color_url = "999999";

//--></script>

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

<!-- Paste your advert above this line -->

</div>

<?php

} // function wide_advert

} // class bb_adsense

// adds the footer so the javascript is loaded

add_action('under_title', array('bb_adsense','wide_advert'));

?>

Experimenting with AuthPress, but having some probs.

Authentication seems to work fine, but users are unable to change and save their MediaWiki preferences. When users click “save” after changing a pref, some processing goes on but nothing gets saved. Any ideas?

Running bbPress 0.73 and MediaWiki 1.68.

[adamea]

Nice.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

In bbPress1 config.php, can you put the following line near the top:

$bb->debug = 1;

Then go try to register a new user and see if the urls listed at the top of each page view are the same (if they are not, something is wrong).

I don’t think this will give us any useful information, actually, but it’s a place to start.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

User authentication should be fully pluggable. All authentication is done by functions in bb-includes/pluggable.php which can all be overridden by a plugin.

The only thing you have to worry about is giving the $bb_current_user a few properties (such as ID) since bbPress looks at those directly in many places (it should be better abstracted).

You’ll definitely want to write some custom authentication functions that work of your current database.

Grabbing user data from a custom database may a little more tricky as you imply since bbPress might not have all the hooks you’d need for convenient JOINs and things. (You might try and see how little you really need to do.)

At the moment, the best option (off the top of my head) is probably to write a custom database class (of which $bbdb is an instantiation), to modify bbPress’ queries on the fly.

That is not ideal, I understand.

We’re certainly interested in making things easier. I’d love to hear suggestions or ideas. You should sign up on our development email list! https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

Is that possible to integrate bbPress with an existing website which is not running wp? I have a website which needs a forum, I wrote it in php and postgresql backend. Is there any way to integrate bbPress with it; user registration, login etc?

Thanks.

[worrypascanada]

Found the location to sticky posts, but how can I get the shaded green colored to color the sticky as shown on bbPress.org?

[davetropeano]

In the post on the WordPress dashboard annoucing bbPress, it said…

If we could re-write WP from scratch, it would be a lot like bbPress

What does this mean in general? What about the bbPress implementation architecture makes is ‘better’ than WordPress?

[Trent Adams]

That would be great! I was actually suprised that Akismet doesn’t stop the registrations as well as the comments considering the power that it has. I can’t seem to find any way to limit spam registrations on bbPress, but something may exist.

If we can stop the ‘bozo’ user from integrating over to the WordPress side, then would it be best to leave that ‘bozo’ user in bbPress? Would it be worth having something that would delete ‘bozo’ users automatically at some point?

What would you recommend I do about this?

Thank you kindly,

Trent Adams

When logged in as an admin, go to the topic in question, scroll down to the bottom and click “Stick topic”. At least, that’s where it is in the default theme.
