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.

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:

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?

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’); ?>

?>

‘

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

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

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.

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?

[spencerp]

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…

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);

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.

I’m digging the idea of bb inside wordpress. thanks

installed bb following integration with wordpress. installed fine. however, none of my logins work for bbpress. if i try to write a post, i’m asked to login. i do so, and the login doesn’t allow me to post or comment on threads. nor can i get into the admin area.

i know the login is correct because when i use a false login, i get an error message – which doesn’t happen when i use the correct login. all that happens when i login with the correct info is i end up being told i need to login again. it’s as though i’m stuck in some loop.

not sure what to do next. any help?

[cmcraft]

ok, can you tell me how?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

cmcraft, you need to call WordPress’ template functions yourself. bbPress doesn’t do that for you.

[marky]

Not yet, from what I can gather. But hopefully someone will work on an importer script soon.

Integrated WordPress with bbPress. I’ve added the integration plugins. But can’t get logins to work in bbPress.

I pre-registered a few new users in WordPress. Can login fine in WP. But I can’t even seem to login as admin in bbPress even to write/comment on a post – regardless of admin or other users. Can see an admin screen, but not allowed to do anything there without login – which I can’t do.

No error message comes up. I login, checks the database and returns to the screen. Doesn’t matter which login link I’m using in bbPress, I can’t create/edit a thread, nor can I gain admin access.

Any ideas?

[dawudm]

I just changed wp_home & wp_siteurl from http:// to www, ran install again – and got same error.

I’m also using require_once (‘..wp_config.php’). When I comment it, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in [PATH]/bbpress/bb-includes/capabilities.php on line 27

I’ve got to be missing something simple. Just don’t know what.
