Im going to intergrate my WordPress Theme into my bbPress forum, so I need to make sure that functions like Header and Sidebar can be used in bbPress. So I’ve been reading up and found out that you need to place this code in the bb-config.php:

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

However when I place the code. I suddenly can’t log into the bbPress forum anymore. When I click login nothing happens the page will load but not display links like Username –> Admin —> Log out just the normal page as if a guest was browsing the forum.

I am placing the code below the first <php line? Am I doing something wrong?

Additional Info:

WordPress Version: 2.6.2

bbPress Version: 0.9.2

but how to display the admin menu (admin link) in the header of my wordpress, when i’m connected to bbpress?

thanks

[chrishajer]

I think maybe it’s a bug. I just modified bb-admin/view-ip.php line 11, from this:

$post_query = new BB_Query( 'post', array( 'ip' => $ip, 'per_page' => 30 ) );

to this:

$post_query = new BB_Query( 'post', array( 'poster_ip' => $ip, 'per_page' => 30 ) );

Basically change ‘ip’ to ‘poster_ip’ and then it works. Not sure how long that’s been broken. I have a 0.9.0.2 installation that does not work, then the alpha r1637 also does not work.

If this works for you, I can file a bug to trac bringing it to the developers attention.

My site currently does not have a user management system where people can register etc. I’m looking for a system to integrate that I can just piggyback off of and access the users table to do my own development.

Would bbPress be a good fit here? I played around with the code a little bit and I just included “bb-load.php” and I was able call functions like ” bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ )” without actually displaying anything related to the forum.

The only downside is that it added about .2 seconds to my average php render times.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to change the default Permalink structure and prefixes.

For example :

http://www.exolimpo.com/foro/topic/post-de-prueba

I would like to change topic for something else.

and

http://www.exolimpo.com/foro/forum/anime

I would also like to change Forum, since Foro already means forum in spanish.. so “Forum Forum” is reiterative.

If there’s a way to do this tell me, I don’t mind editing a little bit of code in the core, I just need a little bit of direction.

The display of that empty option is suppressed in 1.0 when it isn’t available.

It’s only ever visible to admins anyway, so it wasn’t a huge deal.

Turns out there is an error in 0.9 that stops the “throttle_time” option from being set.

If you run this raw SQL on your database it should set the option to 30 seconds which will force a checkbox to show up in that form.

INSERT INTO bb_topicmeta VALUES (NULL, '0', 'throttle_time', '30');

Here is how to correctly install Avatar Upload.

The “Additional Info” is not too detailed.

Here is the instructions on how to get the plugin (currently) on your bbPress site:

1. Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory.

2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section.

3. Follow the file movement instructions:

In the “additional-files” folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere.

• Move the entire “avatars/” folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the “default.png” inside.)
• Move the “avatar-upload.php” to the bbPress root directory.
• Move the “avatar.php” (inside the “my-templates” folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move “my-templates/avatar.php” to “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/” (So it is like “forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php”.)

I hope this helps someone

When I use my keymaster account, and try to edit a user, there’s a part of the administration section that says, “Allow this user to” but there’s no form, text box or anything else to fill in after it. This line appears between “User Type” and “Custom Title”.

So what’s the point of the “Allow this user to” line? Looking at the code, it’s supposed to be for specifying specific user capabilities (like whether they can add posts, edit posts etc.) but it doesn’t seem to be fully functional yet. Is this expected?

If it helps I have the latest bbpress version, it’s 0.9.0.2.

Thanks.

[fandangoflip]

nice tool… very useful

[fandangoflip]

Thanks mate, well spotted

[qlister]

I’m using WordPress 2.6 and I was trying to install bbPress 0.9.0.2 and integrate it and it came up with this error at the end of the installation:

“Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.”

My forum got installed, however when I try to click on the topics or the forums or tag, it doesn’t open anything, I can’t get to read any of those. It just stays on the same page.

The only function I am able to use is the add topic, but I can’t get to read anything I click.

What should I do? Any advice is greatly appreciated

[fandangoflip]

nice

I would like to code a plugin to prevent double posting in a certain period of time. For example, i’m adding this reply to this topic, and in 5 minutes i could add another. This plugin would take the second reply and append it to the first one, instead of making a new post (if no one else replied in those 5 minutes).

It should be straightforward to do, but i don’t have the time :'(

[andersson]

Well then this problem may just be locally for me then, but when running the alpha 1.0, for a topic for instance, runing _CK_’s excellent admin tool you’ll see about 50-60 queries that does something like this:

# 51 : 0.0195 seconds

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = '6526'



# 52 : 0.0122 seconds

SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '6526' /* WP_Users::append_meta */



# 53 : 0.0004 seconds

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = '5605'



# 54 : 0.0003 seconds

SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id = '5605' /* WP_Users::append_meta */



# 55 : 0.0014 seconds

SELECT user_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM bb_usermeta WHERE user_id IN (365,1325,267,1088,2295,1106,94,1259,1225,1210,2230,3055,7,4566,3869,2992,1894,5690,2713,5873,6526,5605) /* WP_Users::append_meta */

As you can see, it has run over 50 queries that simply does what is done correctly in query 55 (the last query). It seems it runs this for every post it displays (I display 30 posts per page).

Like I said, maybe this is something that is just happening for me but I seem to remember someone having this problem with the first page also, but that time it was the topic meta I think.

Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds like you have the mobile browser agent stuff figured out with the Tera-WURFL library. So, when you detect a mobile browser, you want to display your forum using the1col_fixed theme? Looks like it checks for a match to a mobile browser like this:

$matched = $wurflObj->getDeviceCapabilitiesFromAgent($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);



// see if this client is on a wireless device (or if they can't be identified)

if(!$matched || !$wurflObj->getDeviceCapability("is_wireless_device")){

echo "<h2>You should not be here</h2>";

}

 

So, instead of the <h2> message they are displaying, you could use a theme switcher plugin to set the theme and direct someone to that URL. How about something like this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/

That plugin says it uses cookies to persist the theme choice.

[Jimmy B.]

This a very good thread, might even want to sticky it. I’ve tested this and it works and is needed if you really want true cookie sharing

[eschen]

Something I could not find in this or any other thread concerning integration of 0.9.0.2 with wp 2.5. Problem is that a login to either bbPress or WordPress will log a user OUT of the other, can not be logged into both at same time. Common problem but different question. Several people have suggested adding the following to the bb-config.php:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Questions: are these really needed, should the full hash number (wordpressuser_full.hash.number) also be included and if so, where do I find the hash code? Using Firefox, the I see two cookies when logged into either bb or wp:

wordpress_test_cookie

wordpress_cabxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Secret keys are identical for both bb and wp config files. Also I have:

In bb-config file:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ‘xxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_cabxxxxxxx’; //identical to what is shown in Firefox cookie

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

In wp-config:

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$wp->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$wp->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

A registered user is shown in both bb and wp.

Thanks for any help.

The only real problem you have is that the Warning is being printed to screen. On a production site you shouldn’t print PHP errors on the screen.

The warning in that case should be dealt with though and I will do so in trunk for 1.0. If you want to modify the bb_safe_redirect() function then use the below code for a plugin to rid you of the warning.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Suppress bb_safe_redirect Warnings

Plugin URI:

Description:

Author:

Author URI:

Version: 0.1

*/



function bb_safe_redirect($location, $status = 302) {



// Need to look at the URL the way it will end up in wp_redirect()

$location = wp_sanitize_redirect($location);



// browsers will assume 'http' is your protocol, and will obey a redirect to a URL starting with '//'

if ( substr($location, 0, 2) == '//' )

$location = 'http:' . $location;



$home = bb_get_uri(null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER);



if ( !$lp = @parse_url($location) )

return wp_redirect($home, $status);



$wpp = parse_url(bb_get_uri());



$allowed_hosts = (array) apply_filters('allowed_redirect_hosts', array($wpp['host']), isset($lp['host']) ? $lp['host'] : '');



if ( isset($lp['host']) && !in_array($lp['host'], $allowed_hosts) )

return wp_redirect($home, $status);



return wp_redirect($location, $status);

}

?>

[Sam Bauers]

The filter will only be passed one argument by default, so you need to change your add_filter() call to this:

add_filter('get_user_profile_link', 'ss_get_user_profile_link', 10, 2);

.

The third parameter is the priority, the second is the number of arguments to pass.

Hi,

I’ve successfully integrated WordPress 2.5.1 with bbPress 0.9.2, but I’ve encountered some issues with registering (display_name, multiple sign-ups with same email, etc.).

What I’m trying to do now is redirect all registration to the WordPress register page. My main questions are:

(1) how/where do I change the bbPress code to point to the WordPress register page.

(2) is there a way for the system to know where a user came from (forums or blog) and redirect the user appropriately after sign-up?

Thanks.

[thion]

Been there, tried that – it’s definitely more than 10 minutes

[iuxc]

Thanks! Worked perfectly.

WP-Syntax should take all of 10 minutes to port to bbPress:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/syntax-highlighter-plugin

I have a “Syntax-Lite” plugin in development that is less than 1k and uses PHP’s built-in (high speed) highlighter but only works with PHP code of course. It also won’t be available for quite awhile as I don’t have time for bbPress projects these days.

[ikailo]

This was originally going to be an “It’s not working!” post, but I made some progress. Now it’s “Is what I did ok?” post.

I kept getting a”This Topic is Closed” error every time I tried to create a new topic. Traced it back to the insert statement in ‘bb_insert_topic’ in functions.php. The database was responding with the error of “The value ‘ ‘ is not a valid integer for column ‘topic_id’. (I am paraphrasing, I don’t have the exact response in front of me)

I suspected it had something to do with the fact that the topic_id value is being supplied to MySql, but it is set to be an auto-increment / not null field.

So, I commented out in the $default array definition in ‘bb_insert_topic’:

// 'topic_id' => false, // accepts ids or slugs

and I changed this line:

unset( $default, $defaults );

to this:

unset( $args, $defaults );

Did the same thing under the ‘bb_insert_post’ function in the same file, but for the ‘post_id’ variables.

Presto. Everything seems to work OK now.

Could this issue be specific to my version of MySql? Although it is strange, because the original query works just fine using a third party tool (SQLyog).

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Or – can anyone comment on the validity of my changes, and if they might cause issues going forward?

Finally – should this be logged as a bug?

Thanks!
