Hello 
I noticed that Bulgarian translation is quite out of date so with a friend we made an update. It is available here:
bbPress 0.9 in Bulgarian
View counts in the forum section require part of “my-views” plugin to be installed (my-views-most-least-views.php) or just make this a mini-plugin:
add_filter('get_forums','forums_views_append');
function forums_views_append($forums) {
if (is_front() || is_forum()) {
global $bbdb, $forums_views; $sum_meta_value="SUM(meta_value)";
if (!isset($forums_views)) {
$forums_views = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT forum_id, $sum_meta_value FROM $bbdb->topicmeta LEFT JOIN $bbdb->topics ON $bbdb->topicmeta.topic_id = $bbdb->topics.topic_id WHERE $bbdb->topics.topic_status=0 AND $bbdb->topicmeta.meta_key='views' GROUP BY $bbdb->topics.forum_id");
} foreach ($forums_views as $forum_views) {
if ($forum_views->forum_id) {$forums[$forum_views->forum_id]->views=$forum_views->$sum_meta_value;}
}
}
return $forums;
}
I soved the problem of logn request on paginated topics using the EWp plugin mentioned here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101/page/5#post-24571
I can’t understand why with normal integration the whole system didn’t work… but I have no time to investigate for a non payed task The customer have the same problem of quote adn double-quote double escaping thamentioned in the same link…
This topic can be considered closed.
Unbelievable. I was able to figure out what the problem was. WP-Super-Cache plugin was screwing everything up. All I did was add /forum/ to the URI strings to be ignored and it worked fine.
Now it’s time to fix up the theme.
Thanks for all the responses
I hate it when something so easy is giving me problems. I have a link to my search page… mysite.com/myforum/search.php… like that. And it works fine, except the font color on the search form itself is a gray or reddish color and it doesn’t go with my dark blue layout… I need the font to be white. With CSS I’ve got the font set to white everywhere else, even the search results are white, but the form itself is not so you can barely read it.
I’ve tried editing the color with CSS, regular html, I’ve been in my search.php in my forum root and my search.php in my template, and I’ve been in my search-form.php file, and no matter what I do… I can only get the font to change in firefox… for some reason in ie6, which should be illegal to use, the font it not white.
I simply added <font color=”white”></font> to the form, and again, it works in firefox, but when I test it with ie6 it doesn’t work. Why?
I even tried adding a new div… I added <div id=”searchcolor”>search form code here</div> then in my CSS file I have #searchcolor {color:white;}, but even that doesn’t work. Nothing seems to change the form font color in ie6.
This is frustrating because it’s something SO simple! Font color!
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some help on an issue I am having. I am trying to integrate WP functions into bbPress. I put in the following code in my bb-config.php, and wp-blog-header.php is being accessed fine.
<?php require_once('/home/noreason/public_html/youthbloggers.net/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
Now, for some reason I get a slew of strange characters when accessing my bbPress installation (the frontpage). I can’t even access /bb-admin. I can’t figure out what the problem is, I think it may have something to do with my server settings/configuration because the exact code works fine on my local machine running WAMP Server. Does anyone have any idea?
You can see what’s going on at http://youthbloggers.net/forum/
Hmm, yeah someone should definitely try to get the current repository transferred to another person. I’m pretty new to bbPress so someone else would be a way better candidate than me for rewriting this plugin.
Btw, what did detective’s mod add? I’m not even sure what I’m using…
Anyway while I was replacing pm_new_message with ck’s mod I decided to hack email notification in there at the end (formatting stolen shamelessly from the existing notification plugin):
$to = bb_get_user_email($id_receiver);
$pm_link = bb_get_option('uri') . 'message.php?id=' . $bbdb->insert_id;
$message = __("You have a new private message: %1$s nFrom: %2$s nn%3$s ");
mail( $to, bb_get_option('name') . ':' . __('Private Message'),
sprintf( $message, $pmtitle, get_user_name($id_sender), $pm_link ),
'From: ' . bb_get_option('admin_email')
);
You just type in a complete image tag, the full html, and it should work. Like this:
<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" />
The plugin was sort of particular about the case of the file extensions; JPG did not work (IIRC) but jpg did. Also, some image hosting services that show images but don’t have an image extension on the URI won’t work with the plugin. The plugin looks for filenames ending in common image formats and allows those.
Also, the image needs to already be on the Internet already, hosted somewhere. If that’s not possible for your users, then you probably want the bbPress Attachments plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/
I am trying to figure out how to allow people to embed images and flash code in our forums.
I came across the allow-images.php plug-in, and installed it in “bb-plugins” and “my-plugins” under the forum directory.
I then went to admin and activated the plug-in.
What I can’t figure out is how to get it to work. I can’t figure out how one inserts an image still, or if what I installed and activated actually made a difference.
Once I get this resolved, I will move on to allowing embedded flash objects.
thank for helping…
LOL, my thoughts exactly! Now I’m in contact with an outfit in India to see what it would take to code the site in Joomla!
What a rabbit hole this stuff can be!
Earlier I tagged this a BBMU, which is sort what this was sounding like, bbPress Multi User (like WPMU.) That way, you have one installation to update, but multiple blogs (or in this case, forums.)
I don’t think that is currently possible. There was some work involved to create WPMU, although it reuses a great bit of WordPress code.
So, I think you are stuck using multiple installations of bbPress, or just using the built in Forums that exist in bbPress. If you use the built in forums that exist, then you don’t have to worry about logins working in all forums. The logins will work in all forums because it’s all just one forum.
But, to have multiple bbPress installations, but just one user database, you might want to investigate the advanced database options upon installation, in step two where they talk about user integration.
Custom user tables
Only set these options if your integrated user tables do not fit the usual mould of wp_user and wp_usermeta.
User database "user" table
The complete table name, including any prefix.
User database "user meta" table
The complete table name, including any prefix.
I think here you would be able to enter the same settings for every installation of bbPress to point them all to the same user database. You could try it with two forums to see if that works.
Also, managing 10 forum installations is not too bad if you have command line access to use something like subversion. Then it’s just a matter of doing an svn up or svn sw and accessing the update in a browser. You can do 10 or 20 installations pretty quickly. It’s even faster when there are no database changes. Then it’s just svn updates.
I think this is due to the server using PHP4:
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()!
What version bbPress did you install, did you integrate with WordPress, and what software is the server running?
Here’s a Joomla! plugin that does what I want, except it’s for Joomla!:
http://boygj.com/juser-204-extended-joomla-registration
Excerpt:
• Ability to extend registration form with unlimited additional fields
• Different types of fields like Check Boxes, Radio Buttons, Select List, Text Field, Data
• Ability to create your own list of values to choose for fields of type Select List,
Check Box, Radio Buttons
Does anyone know of a WordPress/bbPress plugin that will do this?
Hey Guys,
Just recently discovered that I can’t get my bbPress Forum to load. I get this error all down the page, and to the best of my knowledge, I haven’t changed a single thing since it last worked?
Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Cal
It appears that the ‘deep integration’ between bbPress and WordPress will provide the basis for doing this, I’d need to be able to re-code the registration screen to make the ‘occupation’ field a required field. I also want it to be coded so it’s a dropdown list of choices that I determine.
This issue is way huge for anyone wanting to monetize a website through advertising. Advertisers on the web want to know who your audience is before they will pay reasonable CPMs. I’m showing videos that will eventually incorporate ads, and I want the site to know how to identify a registered visitor so that the video ads can be targeted based on their self-identified occupation.
I also need the forum to be incorporated into a WordPress page, the way I have a test of Simple:Press set up here:
http://architecturecartoon.com/forum/
Is there a relatively simple way to make bbPress look like that?
+1 chrishajer – PM was a way for people to stalk and harass each other on my old forums 
‘ef it.
Now, perhaps a ‘show/hide email’ option would be nice, but PM? Ick. It makes you (the site owner) responsible for people being asshats in a way you can’t easily monitor.
For starters my site runs the following WPMU 2.7, Buddypress RC-1 and BBpress 1.0 alpha 6 – if you’ve had problems with any of the following then this is worth a read …
This is a weird one but totally worth mentioning. I just re-installed bbpress for the fifth time and found a wee error that seems to bugger everything up.
If you’ve got everything working properly and you’re in the admin screen on bbpress ‘Settings/Wordpress Integration’ DO NOT hit the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the user integration menu.
The reason being is that it breaks everything and you have to reinstall bbpress. I can’t remember the exact error as I did this late last night but the error occurs in ‘bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php’ on line 123 and 377
I also noticed that (once you get it back up and running) you can’t post on existing group forums but if you create new groups then everything is hunky-dory
Just as well I hadn’t populated the site LOL
It’s been a hell of a learning curve this but not a bad one by any means – I’s say I’m very proficient now at reinstalling bbpress and integrating!
After all this rant I’m not sure if this is a problem specific to me but please let me know if you’ve suffered the same. I’ll put something on the BBpress forums too shortly.
Cheers,
Phil
Actually, if it’s this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-onlinelist/
There are lots of people with the same issue, or there were lots of people a year ago. Looks like it always tries to use bb_ as the table prefix instead of $bbdb (i.e. $bbdb->online). Take a look at some of the replies.
Looks like you’re using the bb-online plugin. Does this still happen if you disable that plugin? My guess is the plugin hard coded the bb_ table prefix when it should be using $bbdb.
bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. Get it out of your WordPress plugin folder. It does not belong in /home/m4inform/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ it belongs here /home/m4inform/public_html/wordpress/bbpress/ as a sub-directory of WordPress.
In your template files, wherever there is a call to post_form(); just change it to
post_form('Custom Title Here'); – you can even put a space in the single quotes and not have any title at all. The “New Topic in this Forum” is part of bbPress, but you can override it in your template wherever post_form is called.
Updating post-count-plus fixed the issue! Thanks a lot!
I thought about linking to profile field but bbPress uses a template tag to retrieve all profile data and I found it not reasonable to change:
<?php bb_profile_data(); ?>
Check your bb-config.php file for blank lines outside of
<?php
[foo]
?>
I’m having the same issue. Any other suggestions?
My setup:
Integrated:
WP 2.7.1
bbPress 1.0-alpha-6
Using the default bb-config charset & collation:
define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);
Using the defauly wp-config charset & collation:
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
Using the default language file. In other words, I haven’t changed anything and it should be using the English.
Database is:
UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
utf8_unicode_ci
