In your config file it should look like this, does it?

// 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://patrimoineacadien.com'; // 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 = '/bbpress/'; // Example: '/forums/'

Check over here my yucky bbPress. There must be something wrong with my bbpress installation:

http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/

After bbpress installation, I received an email with the following information:

Your new bbPress site has been successfully set up at:

http://www.patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/

You can log in to the administrator account with the following information:

Username: *moderated*

Password: *Your WordPress password*

I can’t access bbpress admin; I’ve use the same Admin username in bbpress installation as my WordPress Admin username. I get error message: Internal Server Error…

I’ve checked my WordPress MySQL tables, and bb tables are present within the same location.

bbpress-integration.php and display-name.php are active plugins.

Hope you can help.

Hi.

I really missed an onlinelist in bbpress, so i made a simple one myself. Dont expect anything special, it just tells who was online over the past 5 minutes.

Download it here.

See a demo here. (Login use: Test / test)

To Display the online list simply add show_online_users(); wherever you want it in your template.

Additional Features:

– Last online time on profile page: profile_last_online();

– Current online users as number: total_online_users();

If it’s not integrated (my wp+bb isn’t) then this plugin will probably work for you.

It does a little URL processing to work out what is being linked and based on that will return the number of topics matching a tag, the number of topics in a forum or the number of comments in a particular topic.

[Aaron]

If I am not mistaken it looks like he already has an integration done. mjfiszman is that correct?

If so how did you set this up? or are you doing this manually?

If it is integrated (eg. calling bbpress functions on the wp page) did you try get_topic_posts()

[ear1grey]

To redirect users to a forum (e.g. see the bottom of this article), I wrote a tiny plugin called bbpress-instead.

I’m going to add a count capability now (for example purposes), so since it’s GPL (natch) feel free to embrace and extend

[mjfiszman]

I run a WordPress blog and bbPress forums at Nearthwort Obtain.

In order to keep all discussion centralised, blog posts direct users to a corresponding topic in the forums for commenting.

If possible, I’d like to display a note next to each “Discuss” icon at the bottom of blog posts indicating how many comments have been posted in the post’s forum topic.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Pardon my probable ignorance, but I was working on modding a wordpress theme to work with my bbPress install. I was wondering how to make it so that posts alternate color.

[d3x7r0]

So I needed a simple forum to go with the wordpress install I was about to use to revive an old forum I have as a news blog with a small comunity on the side and I decided to use wordpress and BBpress for the mix. I obviously had to make them connect and so I did, here’s the result: http://new.ngagept.net/

I was just unable to add gravatar support to my forum, can anyone help me with that?

[ardentfrost]

So, I just started using bbpress 3 days ago mostly because phpbb is God awful when it comes to spammers (akismet is pretty awesome on my homepage, so I assumed it would also be awesome in forums).

At any rate, I installed a copy as a test and have been playing with it, got kinda sad that avatars weren’t supported (and didn’t want to make people get gravatars just to have an avatar, esp since gravatar service was down the other night). So I wrote my own avatar functions.

I have everything I did on my forums, or you can just go check it out at http://www.rayd.org/forums2/

My question is, can what I did be done in a plug-in? I know I can put my two ground-up functions in a plug-in file, but the one I don’t know how to do is the way I added a spot for a link to an avatar in profile pages. Here’s the link to me describing what I did, and the quote from what I’m talking about:

http://www.rayd.org/forums2/topic/6?replies=1

bb-includes/functions.php line 1388: Added avatar info to the array in function get_profile_info_keys(). Looks like this:

array(‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)), ‘user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’)), ‘from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)), ‘occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’)), ‘interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’)), ‘avatar_loc’ => array(0,__(‘Avatar URL’)))

As you can see, adding that little avatar stuff at the end of that array definition not only easily added the spot to the page, but put it in the database and allowed me easy access to it in my other functions.

I’d love to make this into a plug-in, I just don’t know how to do that. Any advice would be great

Great Work. Please release ist… i need it for 10 news bb’s

While in the beginning it would seem that modifying templates is the hardest thing in the world to do, once you understand the way that bbPress looks at templates (my-templates and then bb-templates), it is really not that bad.

I managed to get bbPress to almost look like my blog after working on it for awhile.

I have some small changes to do, but it seems to work for me for now!

What are your $bb->domain and $bb->path settings (found in bbPress’ config.php file)?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What version of bbPress are you each using?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress no longer uses the dropdown menu (what if your blog had thousands of users on it? It’d be really hard to find you!).

Instead, you should be able to enter your WordPress account’s login name into the form as you install bbPress.

But, there is a problem with your config.php

The values for $bb->akismet_key, $bb->wp_table_prefix, $bb->wp_home, and $bb->wp_siteurl should all be contained in single quotes (') like

$bb->wp_home = 'http://patrimoineacadien.com';

EDIT: I removed some potentially sensitive information from your post above.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

It’s probably a “white space” issue.

Make sure there are no spaces or tabs or new lines or anything before the <?php or after the ?> in bbPress’ config.php file.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

ear1grey,

Actually MultiViews looks for topic.php if it hasn’t found topic/, but otherwise you’re spot on.

You can also use RewriteRules which forces the server to do the same thing ‘manually’.

hywl51,

When you request that URL, Apache’s MultiViews or RewriteRules (whichever you are using) loads topic.php. That file then prepares a bunch of data and displays it with my-templates/topic.php (If that file exists) or bb-templates/topic.php (otherwise).

If you are familiar with the way WordPress works, it may not help much This is one area where WordPress and bbPress are quite different.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

ColdCN, that’s strange.

Does the information here help? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/185

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You can hook into the bb_new_user hook (see bb-includes/register.php: bb_new_user() ), but by the time that hook is fired, the user is already in the database, and the new user has been sent an email.

In the next version of bbPress, you’ll be able to hook into bb_verify_email(). (https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/549)

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The following plugin should work, but I have not tested it.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Ignore Edit Lock

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/263

*/

function members_ignore_edit_lock() {

global $bb_roles;

$bb_roles->role_objects['member']->add_cap( 'ignore_edit_lock', true );

}

add_action( 'bb_got_roles', 'members_ignore_edit_lock' );

?>

Save that bit of code as members-ignore-edit-lock and put it in bbPress’ my-plugins/ directory.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What version of bbPress are you using?
