Well I’ve finally done it, Intergrated my WP blog theme with bbPress. It’s not as hard as you think once you look around. Anyway check out my intergration here:

http://www.james-blogs.com (blog)

http://www.james-blogs.com/forum (forum)

(There are still 1 or two minor CSS errors but the intergration of WordPress functions has been done successfully.

It’s taken me a few days to figure it all out, but I’ve finally done it. Although it does sound like im bragging alot. I also want to share a website that could also help you do theme intergration:

http://bbpressraw.com/bbpress_blank_themes/

This site provides blank themes that are literally the bare minimum of CSS, but even better they provide blank themes in type so for example my blog layout is a 2 Column design. I would also find this layout on bbpressraw.com and then begin editing it.

Being able to get a pre-coded layout with the bare minimum needed within it, certainly helped me alot. And I was able to understand and modify to intergrate my blog theme into it.

I hope this website can help you to in intergrating your bbPress installation

Error log access is highly dependent on your hosting setup. If this is a shared server, you might have a control panel and in there might be access to logs. What is your hosting setup?

If you don’t have or can’t find logs, then you can setup error logging for bbPress, then just log to a file for a while and try accessing this page 2 and see what gets logged. Then, find and fix the problem. I can post the code for custom error logging, or you can google for it.

THANKS MAN!!! I LOVE YOU !!!

[Shagalaga]

Come on guys! PLEASE help me

Hi chris and thank you for your suggestion.

I looked into the function you mentioned in template_functions.php which would be around here:

function bb_profile_data( $id = 0 ) {

if ( !$user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ) )

return;



$reg_time = bb_gmtstrtotime( $user->user_registered );

$profile_info_keys = get_profile_info_keys();

echo "<dl id='userinfo'>n";

echo "t<dt>" . __('Member Since') . "</dt>n";

echo "t<dd>" . bb_datetime_format_i18n($reg_time, 'date') . ' (' . bb_since($reg_time) . ")</dd>n";

The problem is that this functions gets the data from the currently logged in user, or so I would assume, given that it’s the data for that specific profile.

But in order to display the registration date for each user in a topic I’d need to call the data for each user individually.

ok I changed the require once to this code

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

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

else

if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))

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

it got rid of the errors, however, now when i click on the admin link, after logging in, it just refreshes the page and does not bring me to the admin so now im exactly where victor is with his problem

[nekita]

Hmm, still didn’t figure out the syntax for this.

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6.2 svn checkout r8849

bbPress trunk svn checkout r1794

I installed WordPress first and that went fine. I logged in and changed my password. Then I went to install bbPress. bbPress installation appeared to go fine. I used simple keys with WordPress so that bbPress wouldn’t choke on them.

I got to the final step and got a message “There were some errors encountered during installation!” and then I checked off “Show messages” to reveal the following:

“Forum could not be created!” (that may have been visible before revealing the messages as well – I can’t recall.)

After that, I tried to access the forum anyway, but I get an error in Firefox3:

Redirect Loop



Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.



The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?

* NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.

 

There is no .htaccess in the WordPress directory or in the bbPress directory. bbPress was installed in a subdirectory of WordPress.

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress/forums

Any ideas?

[chrishajer]

Right, it is more complex than that. Since the function returns an array it’s up to you do figure out how to display it. Also, looking at the widget code is a pretty good start of how to go about getting the data out of that array. And the readme file is also good.

[patung]

Fair enough I don’t know php from my elbow, it’s just with other plugins, including some you can use as a widget, if you don’t use the widget they tell you what code to stick in the sidebar and it’s usually just like <?php call_to_some_function(); ?> but if this is more complex than that then ok.

Btw ignore what I said about cpu usage, I can’t re-create it so must have been something else.

I have wordpress 2.6 and bbpress 1.0 alpha. The bbpres is installed in a subfolder of wordpress instalation. All works very fine. But when I try get access to wordpress funcions I add the following code in the first line of bb-confing: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-blog-header.php’);

After this, when I try to login in the forum, I see a “Page not found” page. If I refresh the page, it appears as if I’m not logged in, but when I am in the blog, I’m logged in.

[chrishajer]

Looks like the key I posted in the beginning there is not properly escaped within code blocks either. You can see the original key here, and how I posted it. If you check the source of that post, you can see how bbPress parsed it.

More info here, in the original format:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/wp-key.txt

[chrishajer]

d\EtHv;aK&V9;)L@rZ7-{P~u}~C~”N4O]=Cnw1pl=c2 !6-~b6!VHt9n;>&Tj-

That was my AUTH_KEY for WordPress 2.6.2 which was working fine. When I tried to integrate bbPress, it apparently read that key, but on step three of the installer, I saw this error:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/installer-step-3.png

As you can see, part of that key is displayed there (&Tj-) and I suspect it shouldn’t be, and was not being used properly in this case.

I wonder if this is why so many people are having log in/log out issues with WordPress integration. I am going to try a plain vanilla key (alphanumeric only) and see how that works.

[chrishajer]

It’s not a secret, it’s just not bbPress specific, it’s PHP. You need to loop through the array that is returned by that function. If you’re not comfortable learning enough PHP to accomplish that with the function, maybe you’d be better off the the widget. That’s why WordPress created widgets in the first place. It’s for people who don’t want to mess with PHP code. It’s drag and drop. Maybe enabling widgets in your theme would be easier than learning the proper way to loop through this array.

hi,

tried the mb_encode_mimeheader() thing.. but can’t get it to work as desired.

could i please get a bit more of instruction where to put it in with what parameter(s)?

—-what i have tried

---

towards the end of function bb_mail() in bb-includes/pluggable.php

$headers = trim(join(defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n", $headers));



//--added--

$headers = mb_encode_mimeheader($headers, 'utf-8', 'B', defined('BB_MAIL_EOL') ? BB_MAIL_EOL : "n");

//--end add--



return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Although it shows fine as it comes on my Apple Mail, as momo-i and somebody else mentioned, utf8 can get garbled…

Thank you in advance

[patung]

Ok, so it’s a secret…

This is what I tried <?php bbpress_live_get_topics(); ?>

and also <?php bbpress_live_get_topics("1"); ?>

Don’t know if they are right, but anyway I just noticed it says it needs 2.6.2 and I just use 2.6.

Also, would this plugin make any special claims on cpu and load average, because I suspect it might, just by activating, not even using it on a page?

[chrishajer]

Avatars are turned on the the admin settings?

Do you have this in your template’s post.php:

<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

Also, this appears in profile.php:

<?php if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( $user->ID ) ) : ?>

<div id="useravatar"><?php echo $avatar; ?></div>

<?php unset($avatar); endif; ?>

[chrishajer]

Follow the instructions in the last section of this page:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

You want access to the WordPress functions get_footer() and get_header() so you need to include WordPress in your bbPress.

I’m a bit scared messing around with the adsense code.

Hello, I have a little issue with logging in between wordpress and bbpress at my website http://www.ridelegend.com/ & http://www.ridelegend.com/community/

1. When I log in at BBpress it logs me out of WordPress. I can access the BBpress admin page.

2. When I log in at WordPress it logs me in at both WordPress and BBpress, but I cannot log out at BBpress. I can access both the bbpress and WordPress admin panels fine though, and logging out at WordPress works.

I have no plugins active other than akismet. My custom theme is based on the alpha 1 theme, but I modified to match the alpha 2 theme via the list of changes in the tracker. Is this just a glitch with alpha 2 or is there something I can do?

Thank you!

no volunteers?

[agitainment]

Hi.

I recently installed bbPress on my WordPress site here at http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/.

I’ve built a theme based on 1col_fixed 1.1 (I believe it’s kakumei with most of the CSS stripped out). In any case, when I go to my forums I can see my Gravatars and default avatars in kakumei, but when I switch on my theme they disappear.

Is there a php file I’m missing or a block of code somewhere I need to copy over from the kakumei theme to get these to work? If so, where should I put the code?

Thanks!

Hi. This si not a true plugin – just a stupid script for removing “deleted” topics and posts from the DB. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

$link=mysql_connect("host","user","password");

mysql_select_db("database");

//delete topics metadata

$res=mysql_query("SELECT topic_id FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status>0;") or die(mysql_error());

while($row=mysql_fetch_row($res)) {

mysql_query("DELETE bb_meta.* FROM bb_meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND object_id=$row[0];") or die(mysql_error());

};

mysql_free_result($res);



//delete posts metadata

$res=mysql_query("SELECT post_id FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status>0;") or die(mysql_error());

while($row=mysql_fetch_row($res)) {

mysql_query("DELETE bb_meta.* FROM bb_meta WHERE object_type='bb_post' AND object_id=$row[0];") or die(mysql_error());

};

mysql_free_result($res);



//delete topics & posts

mysql_query("DELETE bb_topics.* FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status>0;") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("DELETE bb_posts.* FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status>0;") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("DELETE bb_meta.* FROM bb_meta WHERE meta_key='deleted_posts';") or die(mysql_error());



//some extras - attempt to "correct" autoincrement

$row=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT MAX(topic_id) FROM bb_topics;"));

if($row[0]!="") {

$correct=$row[0];

}

else {

$correct=1;

};

mysql_query("ALTER TABLE bb_topics AUTO_INCREMENT=$correct;") or die(mysql_error());



$row=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT MAX(post_id) FROM bb_posts;"));

if($row[0]!="") {

$correct=$row[0];

}

else {

$correct=1;

};

mysql_query("ALTER TABLE bb_posts AUTO_INCREMENT=$correct;") or die(mysql_error());



$row=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT MAX(meta_id) FROM bb_meta;"));

if($row[0]!="") {

$correct=$row[0];

}

else {

$correct=1;

};

mysql_query("ALTER TABLE bb_meta AUTO_INCREMENT=$correct;") or die(mysql_error());



mysql_close($link);

Hello,

i have a problem with the rss feed of topics: many topics have only the title displayed, with “1/01” date why?
