Ah there is probably a more developed guide on the WordPress side, let me see if I can find it for you.
update: here’s a few guides – essentially the process is identical to the WordPress side except the URL used is going to be https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/
guides:
http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2008/01/wordpress-plugin-subversion-guide/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/svn/
I have no idea where to post it so I’m using the less-invasive section of this forum 
. Is there any “guide to submitting a plugin” to bbpress.org/plugins/? I’ve clicked “Add your plugin!”, I recieved approval and “access to your SVN repository” but now what?
I never used SVN or Trac before, I have no idea what to do, I just want to share my plugin with others via bbpress.org 
. If there’s any “guide” or wiki page out there to help me out, please point me to it as I have no idea where to look for anything like this…
PS: I want coffeeeeeeee
I’ve now made this into a full plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/
Once you install it, you’ll be able to use your code above, but change the part of the function that says topic to forum, ie. forum_time()
Hi filosofo, it’s an honor to have you here (I learned alot from studying your WordPress plugins).
I take it you are trying to do “full” integration where bbPress and WordPress run together and I guess I didn’t think of that as I try to encourage people NOT to do that because of the massive amount of code that has to execute for every page rendered.
I meant the cookies should integrate, with simple (stand-alone) integration.
Having bbPress based on BackPress and WP not based on it yet is going to become a problem for people doing full intregration. I am not sure if Sam is willing to wrap all the functions in “function_exists” clauses.
It’s great that it works when you remove them – they must have copied the most recent WordPress functions.

The “404 Not Found” should be a “200 OK”.
For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the trunk of bbPress which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6
Are you sure it’s compatible? I’m getting fatal errors because the functions in bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php and bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php, which are shared with WP, are all getting re-declared.
However, if I make those files blank, the integration seems to work.
If you do a curl -I http://example.com/ from the command line on a Linux or Mac machine, or check the response headers with Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar (both Firefox add-ons) you will see the response header is a 404, but the page still loads. This has something to do with WordPress, I think.
I tried to load a page on your forum just now, to show you the header output, but I keep getting a “page load error.”
Did you add that to wp-config.php as the first line, right after the <?php?
The error cannot redeclare means something has already been included that it’s trying to include again.

Thanks, Chris. I know Firefox is a better browser, and the only reason I am using IE is out of habit. Currently running IE 6, and I suppose newer versions are equipped for RSS feeds. Anyway, you’ve cleared up the mystery of the RSS coded page for me! Weird thing, is, IE does show RSS feeds as they should appear on various blogs I’ve subscribed to. Why it should be different for the WP and bbPress forums…aaarrghh, not even going to think about it!
It’s very easy to do this via a plugin.
You have to attach to the ‘bb_head’ action.
In fact if there’s a plugin for WordPress that does it, it would take under a minute to change it for bbPress.
Here’s a mini-plugin I wrote to do noarchive and nofollow:
function no_archive() {
echo "n".'<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="noarchive,nofollow">'."n";
} add_action('bb_head', 'no_archive');
.
It would just have to be wrapped in an IF statement with a URI check to add it when you want it. To get the current location, either check bb_get_location or steal it’s code and modify as desired.
Something like this (untested)
function no_index() {
if (in_array(bb_get_location(),array("login-page","register-page","profile-page")) {
echo "n".'<meta NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">'."n";
}
} add_action('bb_head', 'no_archive');
Anyone? Simple “if page” stuff. Yet, I don’t know what the variables are. 
Nice look but you need to look into your server configuration as the bbPress pages are being served with 404 error code instead of 200 (even though they display).
Something might be wrong with your htaccess
I am not sure about the loading order of your plugin but keep in mind that stuff like bb_is_user_logged_in() is only available when bbPress is fully initialized.
Essentially you cannot execute anything but the most basic independent code until do_action('bb_init' happens.
So you have to hook bb_init, ie:
add_action('bb_init','your_function_name);`
and THEN your function can check bb_is_user_logged_in.
BB_IS_ADMIN is a constant so be sure to use DEFINED to test it and not directly or you’ll get an error
if (defined('BB_IS_ADMIN')) {
(also, BB_IS_ADMIN means if you are in the admin menu, not if the user is an administrator – not sure if you knew that)
For those that know what they are doing and have subversion, you can checkout or switch to the alpha trunk of bbPress which will give you compatibility with WordPress 2.6
svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/
Unfortunately an automated download zip cannot be created because this is the first version of bbPress that uses BackPress which is automatically added by svn, but can’t be zipped by TRAC.
Here’s a ZIP’ed snapshot from yesterday:
http://www.mediafire.com/?alvvslgmh22
Keep in mind that you should NOT use the bbPress trunk for live websites – it’s bound to have bugs and some might affect security. You are on your own if you chose to use this version – plugins may have some compatibility issues.
1.0 requires the 3 new WP matching keys inserted into bb-config.php (see thebb-config-sample.php for more info)

Sam could use your bug reports via TRAC if you find problems.
Glad to hear it worked – remember to not keep using $bb->secret though in your config and update the db properly as it lowers the security of your setup somewhat.
(The idea being an attacker might gain access to bb-config.php and not your db to gain the second half of the key – not my design and not sure I agree with the logic but I guess it’s still better than keep both in an obvious place)
Is there any estimate on when this will be coming out?
Very much looking forward to it
The syntax of that file is OK (I tried it on my forum), so if it is giving you a 500 error, your host does not allow the directives you’re trying to use in .htaccess. Check with your host to see if .htaccess is allowed and what directives are allowed in it.
If the 500 error was with Options +MultiViews then the host just does not allow that. If this .htaccess file with all the rules does not work, please explain what happens or post a link to your forum.
Also, be sure you save the file as .htaccess beginning with a period (hidden file on *nix.)

_ck_ That worked!!!! Thank you so much!!!

I don’t have access to my client’s hosting plus I’m not very familiar with Plesk to guide him without looking at it myself.
Anyhow, the problem has been solved )
On a sidenote: This forum keeps telling me my username does not exist when I try going to my profile or favourites 😮
It might be possible to do this inside bb-config.php
$bb->secret=”blah blah your key”;
and override the internal db.
I have to lookup if “secret” is the real name though.
(that’s in addition to define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’ )
Yeah, apparently it really is $bb->secret give that a try.
Here is a screenshot of my iGoogle page with the bbPress.org Recent Posts feed right at the top/center. Your post is visible there All the items on this page are RSS feeds.
http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/iGoogle.png
How about just putting the correct value in bb-config.php?
define('BB_SECRET_KEY',
Just make that the same as the value in wp-config.php
There’s no way in Plesk to manage the database? That seems odd. Do you have shell access where you could use mysql from the command line?
You need a feed reader, that’s all. With FireFox, when you click on the RSS icon, while viewing a topic page, I think it asks “subscribe to topic” and if you want to use “live bookmarks” which are RSS feeds built in to Firefox (this is probably different between FF2 and FF3.)
If you are seeing code, then the browser you are using is not equipped to handle RSS feeds.
Google Reader is one RSS feed reader:
http://www.google.com/reader/
The Google Personalize Home Page allows you to add RSS feeds right there too. I follow a lot of support forums that way. Just click “Add Stuff” then skip all the pretty icons and find the text “Add feed or gadget” which used to be called “Add by url” or something.
http://www.google.com/ig/
You just need a feed reader and I think everything will be fine.
energymv, there’s no real answer right now – I know it won’t happen in July and my educated guess is it’s not likely to be August. So for those that insist on a date, think September.
Sam has indicated he’s not inclined to release another version of 0.9 that changes to the 2.6 cookies, so maybe by late August there will be an early version of 1.0 beta that will be usable.
ps. sometimes Sam and MDA have been known to suddenly set a deadline and get cranking on code/bugfixes so don’t be surprised if they prove me wrong and magically churn out a new version in a few weeks – I’m just saying they have quite a bit of things to do before it’s ready…
