Will bbpress have an option for members to have signatures, where they can add text or links?

I’m looking at starting a new forum, having used SMF & PHPBB forums in the past, but i really like wordpress so have installed a ‘test’ site using bbpress, and am really impressed, but its an important feature that i’m need to be installed.

andyro,

It looks like you need to set up pretty permalinks.

$bb->domain = ‘http://acd.us’;

$bb->path = ‘/cms/bbpress/’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://acd.us/cms’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://acd.us/cms’;

Try those values.

Hi ,

how to determine if its a member or an admin ( by admin , i mean the administrator and keymaster levels ) ?

if not , where can i find a good documentation about bbpress template tags like wordpress’ one ?

TFYT .

[lordcoder]

Hi all ,

i recently installed BBPress , and oh man , its very easy to use and the installation taked only 3 minutes , but its the customization that was very interesting , about this , how to customize titles ?

I dont want the whole title like this : POST_TITLE > SITE_TITLE , is that possible ?

Thanks .

[andyro]

I have bbpress loaded inside wp (like this: (wp/bbace/’). All bb pages show, except when user profile is clicked on (the respective users from worpress showed up automatically) I get:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/profile/2 was not found on this server.

Or when a topic is posted (the post goes up) but I get this error:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/topic/3 was not found on this server.

On the server side, there is nothing under ‘topic’ or ‘profile’ – should this be looking for a .php script, or something in the mysql side of things?

Any pointers would be appreciated…to view the site:

Thanks in advance!

mozey, would you mind helping out a fellow mu’er and post the code to your working mu/bbpress integration?

I’ve been stumbling again and again on getting the user integration to work, let alone the cookies!

I wroted plugin for WP, which create topic and post in bbPres forum, when you publish post in WP blog. Plugin can edit post in bbPress forum, when you edit it in WP.

Page of plugin.

Sorry for my English.

Theere is this,

it might be a little old, but I think it is relevant. MediaWiki / WP /bbPress

[mrjain]

very nice design. A couple years ago on stumbled onto WordPress and glad I did. I feel the same way about bbPress, but i’m sure it will be rock solid and full of features a lot quicker. I was looking at phpBB, but I’m going to implement bbPress.

take care,

here is the whole config file (partially edited to protect passwords etc)

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘myDBname’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘mySQLname’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘muSOLpass’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// 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://acd.us/cms/bbpress&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

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

$bb->path = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Member Forum’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@acd.us’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// 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 = ‘-5’;

// 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 = ‘my key #’;

// 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 = ‘wp_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

$bb->wp_home = ‘acd.us/cms’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘acd.us/cms’; // 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 */

Hi again, what about grouping forums?

F.ex. if 10 forums already exist (http://jug.org.ua/forum/forums/list.page , i want to switch this forum to bbPress), it is handy to sort them out in some way.

Or just add smth. like “separator” between forum groups

And, do smth. with forum deletion; it can be quite complex and painful process to place existing topics, tags and comments somewhere.

[AphelionZ]

Thats neat. Makes my eyes water with joy.

Everything has been slowly gravitating toward WordPress on my site, i can’t wait until everything i need is right in that admin panel and I can kiss major PHP overhauls goodbye.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

They are some of the settings you set up in bbPress’ config.php before you first installed things.

[devils_advocate]

“Are you integrating this with WP, or is it a standalone install?”

I’m integrating bbpress into a wordpress installation…

“Please tell me the following settings:

$bb->domain

$bb->path

$bb->wp_prefix

$bb->wp_home

$bb->wp_siteurl

(sorry) where would I find this information in bbpress?

DA

[devils_advocate]

Sure.

I guess I’m confused what the plug ins are supposed to do and how they act within wordpress and bbpress.

I opened up and looked at both plug-ins (changed the “.php” to “.html”) to see.

And I realized that what I’m seeing in the installation pages in bbpress IS the plugin content of “display-name.php” preceding the regular Installation content.

And in WordPress – when I “activate” the “bbpress-integration.php” plug-in I can no longer browse any part of my WordPress blog – the only page I get – regardless of where I try to go in the wordpress blog shows me the contents of the “bbpress-integration.php” plugin. I’m looking at a Trac page.

With the wiki link, etc…all links not working because they are using my domain as root of the url.

so – I’ve been trying to make this installation work without the plug-ins…and I get stuck at the first bbPress screen [login in the header all correct; my first post -1hour<–saw the post on this> etc] and am not able do anything from there.

so far I’ve inched through a little progress every 2nd or third installation try…but right now I’m stuck

I’ll try your first suggestion – I figured the other one “true” NOT! out on my own….

thanks!

n22 – in your forums folder there’s a folder called bb-templates. make a new folder called my-templates and copy these files from bb to my template folder – edit-form.php, post-form.php

Edit those files – find the only instance of textarea in them and put that php code (just copy and paste, it’s ok!) in a reasonable spot nearby. For example, they said above, but i chose below because i thought it worked better. All depends on the template.

PS – GREAT JOB! It worked perfectly for me

[fuknrekd]

open /bb-templates/post-form.php

add that line here

‘<?php endif; do_action( ‘post_form_pre_post’ ); ?>

<?php bb_do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?>

<label for=”post_content”><?php _e(‘Post:’); ?>

<textarea name=”post_content” cols=”50″ rows=”8″ id=”post_content” tabindex=”3″></textarea>

</label>

‘

(The plugin browser you’ll see at that link is still in the early stages of its development. Go easy on it )

I got the exact same kind of error yesterday while I was trying to install wordpress 2.0.5 but was able to install 2.0.4 no problem then upgrade to 2.0.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[n22]

not working.. i m sure its my problem, cause i know only HTML but not PHP.

anyone can tell me exactly where to put “<?php bb_do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?> ” ??

thanks a lot

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Some of your settings aren’t quite right.

$bb->domain = ‘http://domain.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/cms/forums/’;

$bb->wp_prefix = ‘wp_’; // or whatever the prefix is. It should not be true

Try that on, and let us know.

Also, I’m not sure what you mean by the links being broken in the bbpress-integration WordPress plugin. Can you explain it differently?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I don’t know about other wiki software, but I happen to know that the blicki plugin for WP is under active development.

http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/blicki/trunk/

I couldn’t find a real webpage for it yet. Soon, I’m sure.

[devils_advocate]

also happening is: when I click on the link “Your First Post” (or somesuch) I get this error…

“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://mydomain.com/cms/bbpress/topic.php?id=1”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”

anyone know why this is happening?

[devils_advocate]

got past the styleshhet issue – and all – got bbpress installed.

when I click on the link for the first post, I get this error…

“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://mydomain.com/cms/bbpress/topic.php?id=1”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”

anyone have any clues to help?
