Is there then a way that when a registered bbPress member visits the WordPress area of the site, that WordPress will recognize them as registered bbPress members

Integrated login will do that. If you only want to use the BB side of things, you can use a ‘Hide Dashboard’ plugin for WP (to … hide things ), and then just never link to the WP profile stuff. I’m doing that and the three smarties who know they can login on the WP side quickly learned: Ain’t nutin’ there.

As for targeting ads, I suspect you can do that, though it’d be a question for the WP side methinks.

thank you Chris for your reply.

Now I have try a fresh, clean install.

Step 1 – Database configuration: I put my data, I don’t edit the advanced settings, I click on “Save configuration database file” and I got this message:

Step 1 – Database configuration

!

Your settings could not be saved to a configuration file. You will need to save the text shown below into a file named bb-config.php in the root directory of your bbPress installation before you can continue.

So I copy the “Contents for bb-config.php” in a file and i put this one on my site.

After I follow the instruction:

“Once you have created the configuration file, you can check for it below”

I check and i get another time the same error.

What do I do, now? I have not idea! can you give me some further help?

thank you so much!

All it takes is one borked file Glad the reinstall worked!

[chrishajer]

That’s weird – I never saw that wp(); before. I have no idea what to say in this case.

What happens if you undo the integration, including whatever you included in the bb-config or wp-config to make them talk to each other? Does the problem go away?

[psheld]

Thanks again Chris for coming back on this thread. I am surprised to read your statement about integration though, as it was this feature of bbpress that made me go for it over other forums! Oh well, may be it’ll come out good in the end.

Here’s the code for wp-blog-header.php. Line 14 simply says “wp();”.

<?php

/**

* Loads the WordPress environment and template.

*

* @package WordPress

*/

if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {

$wp_did_header = true;

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

wp();

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );

}

?>

[_ck_]

This is a quick and dirty security fix. Only tested on a basic level.

This code is for the original, not detective’s mod which I will examine tomorrow unless Detective wants to apply the stuff below himself…

replace around line 100 the entire function pm_new_message

from:

function pm_new_message( $id_receiver, $id_sender, $pmtitle, $message ){

...

}

to this:

function pm_new_message( $id_receiver, $id_sender, $pmtitle, $message ){

global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;



$created_on = bb_current_time('mysql');

$id_receiver = intval($id_receiver);

$id_sender = intval($id_sender);



$pmtitle=substr(strip_tags($pmtitle),0,64);

remove_filter('pre_post', 'post_regulation');

$message=substr($message,0,2048);

$message=force_balance_tags($message);

$message=apply_filters('pre_post',$message,0,0);

$message=apply_filters('post_text',$message,0);



$pmtitle=mysql_real_escape_string($pmtitle);

$message=mysql_real_escape_string($message);



$bbdb->query("INSERT INTO ".$bb_table_prefix."privatemessages

(id_sender, id_receiver, pmtitle, message, created_on)

VALUES

('$id_sender', '$id_receiver', '$pmtitle',  '$message','$created_on')");

}

This patch should in theory make it virtually completely sanitized (but still not completely validated unfortunately) and has the added bonus that most other plugins that affect posts like bb-smilies, etc. should work inside PM’s

[chrishajer]

You mean the size of the font, not the width of the box? I think you want to find this section in your stylesheet and experiment with some different values for line-height and font-size:

form.login input {

border: 1px solid #999;

padding: 2px;

line-height: 14px;

font-size: 12px;

margin: 0;

}

[Detective]

That’s really sad. I suppose i was too naive when i modded the plugin. In fact, looking at the code now, it really screams “hack me”. There are almost no validations in some critical operations.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

What version of bb?

What plugins?

The RSS should be a part of the core code, so unless you installed something to bugger it…

[chrishajer]

I think you change it right in statistics.php, don’t you?

$bb->static_title = __('Statistics') . ' «';

It should probably be done with a plugin, but this is where that character is set.

[najkiie1]

Alright. Thanks a lot for your help I started working on it yesterday, it might actually work.

And on the bbpress forum, i will have the forum categories in the sidebar, and then just a list of all the topics. So i don’t think that’ll be a prob

Oh and i like the way your sidebar works, how it changes all the time. Pretty cool.

Thanks again

Hi, im getting this error on bbpress installation when trying to log out.

Can anyone help a n00b please )

bbPress database error: [Table 'theforum_bbpress.bb_online' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = 1 LIMIT 1



Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/theforum/public_html/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /home/theforum/public_html/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232

[psheld]

Thanks Chris. My version of bbpress is the latest stable one at the time of writing: 0.9.0.4.

Just changed the secret key in both bb-config.php and wp-config.php to a 37 character long string of letters only, and we have success at http://www.atcv.net/bbpress . Awesome. Thanks v much.

But I get the following at my wordpress root http://www.atcv.net:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/philipsh/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

so perhaps my integration with WordPress remains flawed?

[chrishajer]

No, it doesn’t work like that. Well, sort of. You could include inline CSS in the php files and that would overwrite the stylesheet. But in this case, the field is defined as a size of 13, but it’s not via CSS. You should do one or the other.

If you had a definition in the CSS, like this:

#user_login {

width: 100px;

}

#password {

width: 100px;

}

That would make those two fields 100px wide, so long as you got rid of the size="13" in the login-form.php. Now, if you put some inline style in the login-form.php, like this:

<input name="user_login" type="text" id="user_login" style="width: 274px;" ...

The field would be 274px wide, not 100px wide. That’s just the Cascading nature of stylesheets.

Without messing with CSS at all, you could just change 13 in your template’s login-form.php to something wider to suit your needs.

[psheld]

Should have added that line 22 is…

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

[psheld]

Opened a copy of bb-config.php in dreamweaver for its syntax highlighting capability as you suggested Chris, thanks. All the comments stuff preceded by // is in orange font until this line, number 18…

define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'i have changed this here so my secret key isn't made public'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

The comment in this line of code and all subsequent lines are in red font. But the format of the definition looks good to me. How about you? My actual secret key, as generated by the WP API, has semi-colons FYI.

[chrishajer]

My guess is you have a config error in your bb-config.php. Loading this page:

http://www.atcv.net/bbpress/

Gets me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/philipsh/public_html/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 22

Line 22 is around the database password. Maybe the previous line is not quoted properly or is missing the semi-colon. My guess is that you have an error in that file and if you fix that, things will probably be OK.

If you have a text editor with syntax highlighting, it will be easy to find the PHP syntax error that is causing this.

Your search is broken.

If I search for “yaris” it doesn’t find anything, even though the very first topic has Yaris in the title and body.

Otherwise to be honest, it looks exactly like every other bbPress theme out there. This isn’t meant to discourage you, quite the opposite actually. It’s a good start and it’s awesome to see another person catching the bbPress bug.

Welcome to the forum and to bbPress and keep it up!

[John James Jacoby]

Curious of bbPress will eventually support the idea of tapping into BuddyPress’s site-wide.css file located in the active BuddyPress theme directory?

I realize this would take a little bit of hard coded style foresight, and it might even be better set as a plugin for bbPress, but I think it would be a nice little added touch.

Thoughts?

[cldnails]

Yes, as mentioned Adsense is compatible, with the addition of code, with bbPress. Furthermore, I just finished integrating Google Search w/ Adsense into my forum, which I think will convert nicely once the forum is actually opened to users.

[sumit1988]

sorry… the widget link thing sould be something like:

I’ve installed this version of bbPress, and evrything works perfect

[najkiie1]

Oh and i almost forgot. Do you know how to get the avatar uploader plugin to work? I can install it, but when i upload an image the image isn’t displayed. No matter which browser i use. I’ve tried to CMOD the “avatars” folder to both 666 and 777, but it still doesn’t work. And all the files are where they should be.

And is it possible to transfer avatar images from bbPress to WordPress, if so, how?

Any ideas?

[najkiie1]

Thanks.

So there is no way at all to make a plugin or something do it for you? That’s bad, but i’ll have to try

How do i do with the menu? I can’t link the menu to another page in wordpress. I can only link to pages in wordpress… how do i link it to the forum page, which doesn’t belong to wordpress..?

I must say you’ve (if its yours) done a very good job with your theme, and no i can’t see any difference between your blog and your forum, exept that the forum is moved like 5 more px to the left. Awesome job!

The title might get you a little it confused. What i was trying to say was; how do i integrate my entire wordpress forum into my wordpress theme… i made an example image below

http://rapid-photo.com/uploads/15untitled.jpg

(forgot to add the footer on the image..)

So is there any way to do this? I noticed there is a “WordPress Integration” thing in the settings, but thats not what i’m looking for, right? That will just “transfer” members right?

I had some trouble with installing bbpress before, i couldn’t login as admin. I played around a bit with it and then i found out that i had to change the settings in “bb-config-sample.php”. I’ts a really good forum, i like it.

Thanks.
