I recently changed my forum’s style and added some features:

*Add youtube videos by using [youtube][/youtube] tags, instead of allowing the code to be written.

*Allow [flash][/flash] to be added, using the temporadadepatos.net file uploader.

*Friends system

*Quite different profile page

*Color fading Heatmap

*A universal top bar (for the whole site) integrated to the forums where the login form is. Once logged in, it shows a random phrase each time you refresh.

*Integration with my website (custom CMS, not based on wordpress). (For login and for showing community blog posts on the forum profiles).

*Badges System

Tell me your opinions

[fel64]

Yeah, lost your capabilities. Look in the wp_usermeta table and delete the entry with meta_key capabilities if I remember rightly.

[bedfordbear]

sorry guys but looked through some of the other answers related to this and it goes way over my head.

i created a mySQL dB through cpanel it’s called bbpress when i look at the databases then it is now called rogermby_bbpress do i use this full string as the dbname?

same with the user bbadmin is now rogermby_bbadmin

the password i entered when i made the db do i just add this (in plain text exactly) along with the other info above to the config.php file?

when i look in my wp-config.php on one of my wordpress installs it uses the rogermby_wrdp1 as the database name and user!?

i did all the simple steps but all i get is cannot select DB. i am installing on a subdomain xxx.yyyy.com is that an issue?

ok forget that something changed and it works i have the same problem with wordpress sometimes if i leave a problem in the night and come back in the morning its fixed, you think my network operator or somebody caches something and i cant clear it?

Thanks fel64, I got through the setup now. I installed BBpress without WP integration because it told me that I’ll be able to do after install, in the admin menu.

So I did. After install I logged in and went to the Integration with WordPress menu and filled in the required fields. After saving changes I couldn’t go back to the Admin menu, because the option went away.

In the upper left corner it says: “Welcome, admin! View your profile (Log out)” Before integration there was an Admin option too to access the Admin menu.

The only thing now I can do is to post into the default forum as a member. Any idea?

[fel64]

Cool, going via options.php sounds good.

When you integrate, you musn’t give them the same prefix or some tables will collide. You need to set these three in your config.php though, if you haven’t already. Obviously change them to your appropriate values, these are just mine.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://localhost/wordpress';  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash.  Example: 'http://example.com'

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://localhost/wordpress';  // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'

Hi guys!

I’m new to WP and BBpress too. So far I couldn’t integrate the forum into my WP install, but I found the secret value:

I logged in as admin into WordPress, and visited the options menu. In the addressbar modified the options-general.php part of the url to options.php and it showed the secret value. Is that right or I did something wrong?

With WP integration, at the third step of the bb install, I can’t select a Key master from the dropdown list because there’s no user listed. So I can’t finish the setup. At the first step, do I have to set the BB database table prefix to match my WP installs table prefix?

[chrishajer]

No, not avatars

With WordPress, they include Hello which is an admin only plugin and it serves mostly to show how a plugin is done. It doesn’t affect the public site at all, and it’s not activated either. I would think a similarly benign plugin could be included, just so there is something there.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress has a fledgling xml exporter. We had a discussion on IRC#bbpress recently about creating an importer of the same format.

This would be great for migrations and backups, and if we wrote some code for other forum software to export to this same format, we would have greater ability to cross-grade.

[fel64]

No, from the PHP docu glob only returns false when it encounters an error. No files found makes it return an empty array. (I don’t have any underscored files and it works for me, too.)

But I agree with you, those folders should be in there by default. What plugins could be included that could be interesting to everyone? Avatars?

[chrishajer]

I’ve seen two or three seemingly unrelated problems pop up related to something like this:

if ( is_callable( 'glob' ) )

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin )

require($_plugin);

 

Seems like if there are no underscore plugins, this fails. I don’t follow the code exactly, but further up in that file, it defines BBPLUGINDIR if it’s not already defined as (basically) my-plugins/. But this line just says “if glob is callable, then go through the directory for all underscore plugins”. What happens if there are no plugins there? This would return false, maybe, instead of an array?

And, is there a good reason NOT to include a blank directory for my-templates and my-plugins? At least then people would know where to put stuff. I mean, what IS the reason? WordPress comes with wp-content/themes/ and wp-content/plugins/ directories, and by default, two themes and two plugins. That eliminates the possibility of something missing. Of course, people could delete those, but right off the bat, they wouldn’t and things would just work when they started out.

At the very least, I think this should be fixed to have a conditional looking for underscore plugins before looping through them (i.e. if there are none, you can’t loop through them.)

Maybe someone with a better read on it can explain to me exactly what’s happening.

[Trent Adams]

I would really love it if we could have some discussion on import/export functions for bbPress. The only current way to move posts around would be an database dump and that is not really the best way I was thinking about looking at the techsailor plugin for RSS import/export for wordpress and see if it would be possible to get bbPress into that format so you could even export bbPress and import as blog posts and comments (or vice versa). Obviously I would have trouble doing this with my minimal coding, but hopefully someone else has something to add!

Thoughts?

[Ben L.]

It doesn’t do much of anything to add define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.llamaslayers.net'); or define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'llamaslayers.net'); to the config.php file.

Edit: It works to remove the values of $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl

[fel64]

For some reason bbPress seems to think your theme is in root. I’d ask you to set the theme again, but, you know, what with not being able to log in …

so first of all, please add define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.llamaslayers.com'); to your config.php. Hopefully that’ll let you log in.

[Ben L.]

It’s just $bb->uri that I have to update, right?

[nook77]

I had wordpress installed, i removed WP and uploaded BBPRESS to the same directory, put in my mySQL info, and it worked. I havent changed any setting,

but, i have actaully changed this already to fix another problem:

Your error *sounds* like this one:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-invalid-argument-supplied-for-foreach-in-bb-settingsphp-on-line-173

Site Management section under admin.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in domainsrcct.bizwwwrootcrookedhook.netforumbb-adminplugins.php on line 7

I have installed the online list plugin, and the print password to screen plugin. Could it be one of theses? If i check the forum, all the blugs are working properly.

I think it could just be my very raw install of bbPRESS, maybe I just have to change a few settings.

I’m running the latest version of BBPRESS

Any help is most appreciated

That fixed that one particular problem, but im still having the same problem with

[ajg]

There is no additional space nor new line in front of the <?xml version="1.0"?> line in rss2.php

This file is identical to the default (kakumei) theme rss2.php file

I deleted the “old” and replaced it with the one from kakumei folder.

And yes, I did upgrade to a newer version.

—-

Update:

It’s fine now.

We had this _blah.php file in my-plugins dir that had just a typed space in it. I deleted it and now the rss feed is fine.

Thanks for all your help

I deleted the space from file and it’s fine now.

[mazdakam]

[mvh]

btw, was it hard for you setting up pretty permalinks?

[nook77]

Hey everyone I get this ERROR, when I try to open the Site Management section under admin.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in domainsrcct.bizwwwrootcrookedhook.netforumbb-adminplugins.php on line 7

I had a similar one after I upgraded, but I found a post with some code…after I put the new code in, everything worked.

Any PHPers out their that can help?

Cheers

[delphinoy]

The dutch bbpress forum on wordpress is not very active

Providing complete translations for a software in this stadium is very difficult…Prutser (cool nick name) you are on the way to become the most important contributor for the dutch translations

[Olaf Lederer]

I mentioned the DP (Digital Point) forum

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi Filippo,

I don’t think that someone will convert a theme for free, check the DP forums, there are a lot of good WP theme coder (some of them could be able to do this job for ~50usd)

[Olaf Lederer]

deactivating the AI plugin is the solution here…

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi just tried this code but therer is “is_forum_category()” function in my install (ver 0.83).

Is this a new one for the next version?
