_ck_ – FWIW, I hate the vBulletin search layout.

[John James Jacoby]

Short term, I was able to make this work by modifying 1 core WordPress file. This only allows for integration of the theme, but still does not allow access to the bbPress admin panel without changing the bb-config.php file back to original.

It’s essentially a quick fix to get the theme working with all capabilities playing nicely.

Basically I’m hard-coding the capability check from bbPress into WordPress. There should be a filter for this, but I’m not sure how to hook into it correctly without a mod or plug-in on the WordPress side.

~My fix is in no way a permanent solution. Auto-updating your WordPress installation will overwrite this fix.~

Eh don’t defend bbPress – it’s the same problem with WordPress. They’ve never had a good search because writing a good search is hard and takes time from other needed things.

I haven’t released the search because after working on it for a week it became so overly complex that debugging parts of it was taking way too much time. When that happens I get mad and then usually re-write things from scratch.

I think my biggest mistake was I tried to make the layout template-able, so you could move stuff around. That added way too much code and logic problems. And then there was the wordpress awareness, more code.

I might just make a simpler version of it. I may just copy some of the vbulletion search layout since it’s very logical. Maybe I’ll have something by the end of the coming weekend if I have enough time.

[John James Jacoby]

We’re all experiencing the same issue.

Integration appears to be a little broken still.

If you need to use the WP functions in your bbPress, that will break it further by not allowing you to access your bbPress admin panel at all.

The problem looks like the bb_map_meta_cap filter is ignored when the WordPress functions are loaded in place of the bbPress ones.

Some users have been able to resolve this by using a .htaccess file to redirect to the bbPress login and register page whenever an attempt to register or login is made through WordPress. That is the best fix at the moment if you do not require access to the WP functions.

If you do require that access, then you will need to wait until a fix comes out for the issue I mentioned above. That’s where I am.

[mithrandir321]

Yes, I installed WP first, then BB and integrated from the beginning, so BB is using wp_users. In fact, there’s no bb_users table according to my phpMyAdmin. Somehow, it seems that BB cannot access that wp_users table for one reason or another. But what exactly it is, is a mystery to me

[mvds]

No issues so far, just wanted you to know that Runs fine on my (live) site!

[block]

Interesting. There any code from there you can release in the mean time? Pretty disappointed that bbPress has such poor search, but not surprising given how little information and documentation there is.

[John James Jacoby]

It seems like there are several issues here, and I’m not sure which is really the issue or which is a bug…

Firstly, when integrated, bbPress wants to use the WordPress classes and functions where possible. Namely, the problem with capabilities lies currently with the difference in the WP_User->has_cap function.

On the WordPress side of it, it is missing the global $wp_roles; and the corresponding check of those roles against the current capability to check.

$caps = call_user_func_array( array(&$wp_roles, 'map_meta_cap'), $args );

So I’m not sure if this is just a case of bbPress not keeping up with the WordPress user/role classes, or if this is WordPress not properly carrying over bbPress capabilities.

Ugh…

[peuter]

Thanks for trying to help on this Chris. Here is what my htaccess file looks like at the moment:

Options +MultiViews

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Keep in mind this is in my root directory. (so both WP and BBpress are both using it?)

Am I supposed to have a seperate htaccess file in the bbpress directory too?

I got access to the code you sent me. Do I delete the above code and replace it with this code you sent?

[mithrandir321]

It worked alright before I started moving around with the directories.

If you’re talking about the params from config.php they stay untouched as they were before so BBDB_NAME, BBDB_USER etc. are correct….

Dont’t know what a socket connection is or how it differs

[mithrandir321]

Yeah, found the bb_mail function and will use a couple spam protection functions from WP-Mail to hardcode it for my site but won’t be able to make a plugin out of it

[mithrandir321]

Oh, that’s a little too complex I don’t think I can get my head around this one lest it was stripped down to the core functionality. The best part of my PHP days is unfortunately numbered but I’ll try to look for something easier.

See this part of the plugin, you need to change the bb_add_filter and bb_add_actionto justadd_filterandadd_action`

/******************************************************************************

* - Define for bbPress interface

*****************************************************************************/



$bbemoticons = & new bbEmoticons();



bb_add_filter('post_text', array(&$bbemoticons, 'convert_smilies'));

//bb_head is not called always. 

//bb_add_action('bb_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));

bb_add_action('bb_feed_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));

bb_add_action('bb_grins', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins'));

[mithrandir321]

I can see there’s no plugin like that yet, however can anybody just hint as to what backpress functions I can use in order to hardcode this myself? I’m learning the php + bbpress stuff quite fast so I’d give it a whirl with a little help.

Think it may come useful for others as well.

[chrissydunno]

where in the code do you add your redirect hook exactly?

[_ck_]

There is no bb_do_action, only do_action.

bb_do_action has been removed.

Are you talking about the plugin created in this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/emoticons-for-bbpress

Why not post your question there, where it will actually be relevant?

Change the bbpress tables prefixs to bb_ via phpmyadmin and then fix the prefix setting in bb-config.php

[travelsuperlink]

I tried to understand the new database structure by checking the upgrade-schema.php. I found one thing could cause problem:

$bb_queries = “CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS $bbdb->users (

ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

user_login varchar(60) NOT NULL default ”,

user_pass varchar(64) NOT NULL default ”,

user_nicename varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

user_email varchar(100) NOT NULL default ”,

user_url varchar(100) NOT NULL default ”,

user_registered datetime NOT NULL default ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’,

user_status int(11) NOT NULL default 0,

display_name varchar(250) NOT NULL default ”,

PRIMARY KEY (ID),

UNIQUE KEY user_login (user_login),

UNIQUE KEY user_nicename (user_nicename)

);”;

my old database table bb_users the user_nicename does not have unique key on it, but now upgrade try to setup as unique key. will it be the reason for the upgrade timeout?

Unfortunately for my cpanel host I could not access the mysql log, but please help me solve this. any inputs are welcome.

thanks.

[travelsuperlink]

I follow the steps. After extract the new bbpress files and rename the config.php (v0. to bb-config.php, I could see all my previous posts.

However, when I login to the Admin, it displays:

It looks like your database is out-of-date.

You can update it here.

After click the Upgrade Database button, after a few seconds, the http://www.travelsuperlink.com/forum/bb-admin/upgrade.php page just display a blank webpage (timeout?)

I am stuck here, please help.

Since bbPress-Live also does a list of forums, here’s how to do that too:

<h2>Forum List</h2>

<ul>

<?php

global $wpdb;

$query="SELECT * FROM bb_forums WHERE topics!=0 ORDER BY forum_order ASC LIMIT 10";

$results=$wpdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li><a href='/forums/forum.php?id=".$result->forum_id."'>".$result->forum_name."</a></li>";

}

?>

</ul>

of course this example doesn’t take into account nested forums and will just display them flat.

[_ck_]

And you can just keep making it fancier and fancier.

Let’s say you want to also show how many posts each topic has.

echo "<li><a href='/forums/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a> (".$result->topic_posts." posts)</li>";

or how old the last reply is

echo "<li><a href='/forums/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a> (".human_time_diff(strtotime($result->topic_time." GMT"))." ago)</li>";

[_ck_]

Let’s put that all together – this should work right inside any wordpress template:

<h2>Latest Forum Discussions</h2>

<ul>

<?php

global $wpdb;

$query="SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10";

$results=$wpdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li><a href='/forums/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a></li>";

}

?>

</ul>

[_ck_]

So we have the $results, how do we make a pretty list of them, say inside of our sidebar?

We have to loop through them and print them out. This is where that list of fields inside of bb_topics comes in handy.

Here’s just a list of titles to start with:

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li>".$result->topic_title."</li>";

}

Of course that’s not very useful, because they aren’t clickable. To make them clickable will take a little bit more work:

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li><a href='/forums/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a></li>";

}

That example uses quite a few shortcuts to get the job done, it hardcoded the path to your forums (change /forums/ if needed) and even if your bbPress uses pretty permalinks, it simply uses the topic id number to get there – bbPress will redirect back to permalinks. If you absolutely know you have permalinks and want to use them, you could have done something like this instead:

<a href='/forums/topic/".$result->topic_slug."'>"
