I don’t believe a plugin is necessary for this. The core function tag_heat_map() is just the same, isn’t it?

See my comment here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/67?replies=3#post-295

You should always feel free to discuss this or anything eles on the mailing list: https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You should be able to use any bbPress functions you like in WordPress as long as you

require_once('path/to/bbpress/config.php');

[landofmidnight]

I hacked up this little plugin that lets you change the size of the tag cloud without hacking any core files. (And, yeah, that’s all it does.)

It does, however, require you to change some code in your template to call the function.

(I took the code from template-functions.php line 1150 or so, the tag_heat_map.)

See it here or download it here.

You can comment about it on my site if you wish. My Release Annoncement.

Keeping on the original topic at hand here, and no rush of course.. But, will, or could someone eventually make a “delete forum” plugin for bbpress, or maybe even add it into the core?

Just was curious, IMHO..I think it would be a great asset! Especially for those that *are not* experienced with the database/phpMyAdmin.. Again, just was wondering..

By the way, I do know my way around the database and such, but.. it still would be *alot* easier to hit the “delete” button by a forum, then going into a database.. LoL!

Sometimes all of these comments are way over my head, so I have to just keep trying and trying…until I figure it out.

I kept having problems with this topic, until finally I figured out the the .htaccess file that should be changed was NOT the one that already existed in my www (root) folder but rather i had to create a NEW .htaccess file and store it in my forum subfolder.

I tried the suggested simple version first (i.e. “Options +MultiViews”), but it would not work on my server. I then used the more complex version to create a new .htaccess file with the following contents:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /forum/tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /forum/tags.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)$ /forum/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /forum/view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/$ /forum/rss.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /forum/rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /forum/rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]

</ifmodule>

You can see above that I already changed the “/path/to/bbPress/” part into “/forum/” as that is the name of the subfolder on my root directory in which I store my forum (your subfolder name is probably different, so be careful to use the correct name for YOUR subfolder, not mine!).

Put more simply, “forum” is the name of the subfolder in which config.php is stored. So…I created an empty .htaccess file, put the above noted gibberish into the file, then stored the file in the “forum” folder on my server where config.php is already stored.

Now it works like a charm!

Hope that helps some of my fellow newbies out there!

When u load wordpress function inside bbpress. U already integrate both design point and database point. You only need to add WP template tags inside bbpress template.

[planetphillip]

Hi,

How can I control the number of latest discussions shown on the frontpage?

I know I can edit the “topics shown on each page” in the config file but I just want a few topics on the frontpage and a different amount for the forums themselves.

TIA

Phillip

UPDATE FROM MODERATOR (Feb 12, 2007):

There is now a plugin for this which allows you to specify the number of topics that show up on many of bbPress’ pages:

[Andrea Rennick]

Has anyone got bbpress to integrate either with WP or WPMU off a second database? Yes, I read the documentation, which isn’t clear as to what I’m supposed to do. I tried many different things, resulting in different errors each time, none of which actually used the wp_users table in bbpress. The last change almost did it, but it somehow horked my WPMU install when I went to add a user to see which db it plunked it in (neither, as it turns out – it seems to be in limbo).

To start, I had a local copy of MU working, and I got an install of bbpress working as well. It’s just getting the two of them hooked up is where I run into issues.

Any ideas? Tips? Step by step instructions?

[tp84]

Hey all,

Not really sure if this is the right area, sorry if not.

I’m thinking of using bbPress on a new site. Theres a couple of things I’d like to figure out first:

– Is there any way of dictating a ‘banned words’ list?

– I want to include a tag cloud type thing but instead of using tags, using post titles.

Any info/ideas much appreciated

Cheers,

-Mark

Nope. Here is my index.php file from the bbpress directory. What am I doing wrong?

‘<?php

require(‘./bb-load.php’);

//the next two lines are my attempts to load it myself

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-config.php/’);

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ” );

if ( isset($_GET) && ‘1’ == $_GET ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

endif;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

if (file_exists( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/front-page.php’ ))

require( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/front-page.php’ );

else require( BBPATH . ‘bb-templates/front-page.php’ );

//then i tried the include header call to no avail so i tried this

<?php include (/home/myusername/public_html/blog . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

?>

‘

[cmcraft]

I am going to try this, thanks to the page you referenced above.

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/header2.php’); ?>

[cmcraft]

Si yo entiendo bien, y recien estoy explorando bbpress mas y mas, que phpbb tiene diferentes capacidaded. bbpress me parece mas rapido pero no tiene algunas cosas que un foro bien grande debe tener, como la capacadid suscribir a un thread por email. No se, pero si my pagina era casi todo foro, yo usaria algo como phpbb o invasion, etc.

[cmcraft]

Ok, now I am beginning to understand. I assume from looking around that I need to add that code (such as ‘<?php get_header(); ?>’) into the bbpress/index.php file.

Naturally bbpress won’t know to look in the /blog/ folder (bbpress is in the /blog/bbpress/ folder) so how do I set the path?

Would that be another require( etc code?

Thanks for all the help, I am learning so much!

[cmcraft]

Are you lacking a trailing slash for wp-config.php?

You may also try without the .. that worked for me.

[lstelie]

Hello,

I’ve read the topics on this subject on the support pages, but they are about integrating the databases.

I have a WP weblog without user registration (I pubish, they read and comment, I validate)

I’d like to add to my site bbpress as some kind of support forum, so I’d like to intégrate it form a design point of view not from a database point of view (in fact I’d like to display bbpress inside WP, like a wp page or something like that).

Is there somewhere a tutorial bout that ?

Thanks in advance

Luc

The only way available right now is to load wordpress into bbpress. I like to load some bbpress function into wordpress.

Anyone know how to do it?

You might want to follow this thread maybe?

my wpmu is conviced that

mydomain.com/forums is someone who wants to register with my domain. I added forums in the site admin -> options -> exclude the following names. However, this is only causing this message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-content/themes/home/header.php:5) in /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-signup.php on line 347

anyidea anyone!?!?!?

They were working fine up until i added

require_once(“../wp-config.php”)

I’ve modified my Google Analytics Plugin for WordPress and it appears to be working in BBPress (albeit without the UI for configuring the “uastring”).

Testers welcome; get it here…

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

This sounds like: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/52

After you try to login, does it still display the login form or does it instead show you the profile, admin, and logout links?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The best resource for that is https://codex.wordpress.org/Include_Tags

and https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags .

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

In future versions of bbPress, you will be able to do this with a short plugin.

As for the [Closed] issue, you can solve that be removing the filter and adding your own (or using custom templates).

remove_filter('topic_title', 'closed_title', 30);

[larmir]

Found my solution here….

Thanks astereo:

Solved my problem. It was coming from

#

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

#

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

#

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

I had set the urls only to domain.com/directory, when I added the http and www it worked fine.
