The way I have integrated the two over at http://akirakurosawa.info/ is by editing the bbPress template so that it calls the WordPress headers instead of the bbPress ones.

I presume that you have installed both WordPress and bbPress, and that you have integrated their user databases and installed the required plug-ins as outlined at https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ .

So, if you now go through the template files for your bbPress installation, you will need to replace all instances of “<?php bb_get_header(); ?>” with the WordPress command “<?php get_header(); ?>”. The same thing goes for the footers, so you change all instances of “<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>” to “<?php get_footer(); ?>”.

However, in order to get that to work properly, I have also edited my WordPress template so that the (WordPress) header and footer files contain everything except for the actual content that is going to be shown on the page. In other words, all the “container” DIV-elements and such are opened in the header and closed in the footer. While this is perhaps not absolutely necessary, it makes your life easier.

Finally, I use a boolean check in the WordPress header to see whether I am serving a bbPress page, and modify the header information accordingly. While I currently set the boolean myself by including

<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

at the very beginning of each relevant bbPress template page (i.e. those pages that call the header files), fel64 has pointed out that one could simply use a variable that bbPress uses anyway, for example $bbdb.

I use these checks to modify the title:

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) {

bb_title();

echo " :.: AKN&amp;I";

} else ...

to add the forum feed:

<?php if ($forumpage == TRUE) bb_feed_head(); ?>

as well as do some other things (disable Ultimate Tag Warrior’s meta tags for the page, etc.).

So, it takes a little bit of playing around with your templates, but in the end it is doable without any actual hackery.

There are a few things you can do. This WP plugin will, using also the bbPress Post plugin, show replies from the appropriate thread in your forum under your newspost, plus links to the thread to reply to it. You can also transfer existing comments; you need to be careful to only do it once, but that can also be found in that thread. It hasn’t yet been successfully made so that you can reply to the forum from the wordpress part of the site, as far as I know, but I’m sure it’s possible and will be done.

So it’s perhaps 2/3rds of the way there.

[Griffology]

Matt, have you finished this. I’ve tried to do it myself but with no luck I always end up throwing a sql error.

[serimu]

I checked it again, and it is partially working. Forum links are accessible, but topic and others are not. I again tried three combination

1) just adding multipleviews to htaccess = not working

2) adding this solution = not working

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

3. adding the code generated by rewrite-rules.php. = partially working

[serimu]

+1

I did also all the things(at least three or more times, and even I create a mirror template for bbpress to match with my wordpress template when I was tired of trying the same things to make permalinks to work),. So, for those people who uses Godaddy;

It is not working with Godaddy. (Correction: It works for me, read below)

But it only took a couple of hours to update my wordpress, install and integrate bbpress with wordpress (even, partially, templates). For now, I will not move to another hosting company for permalink option. But it is a bit annoying because rewrite rules are working on Godaddy. I have installed wordpress(10 or more different websites), and drupal(3 or more websites), and no problem with permalinks. When you create your htaccess file for the first time, you need to wait for a couple of hours (in avarage 2-3 hours). After that first initialization, every change in htaccess are applied instantly. Namely you just need to wait only for the first time.

I also tried a simple redirect to check my htaccess file in forum root directory. And it was working.

So as the creator team of bbpress is the same for wordpress. And as wordpress is ok with godaddy. The team may suggest an alternative way for rewrite rules. I dont know much about rewrite rules. And I believe the file (bb-admin/rewrite-rules. php) creates correct rules for the most of the servers.

SOLUTION:

I wrote all the above information and then I think to add my config.php file to here. So I find out something, that I dont use akismet, so I add // to beginning of that line, namely:

//$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab'

and it is working now

[fel64]

That’s because you’re using a left-hand margin on your sidebar and your main div to push them to the right.

<div id="main">

<div id="discussions">



<div id="secondary">

That’s roughly your HTML structure. Main is the full width of the central white bar, so there’s no way you can get Secondary next to it. Discussions is a sub-part of Main, and it’s pushed over to the right by a large margin on the left.

Secondary is not part of Main, and pushed over to the far right because it has a humoungous 71% margin.

Firstly you want to put Secondary into your Main div, otherwise there’s no way to do it. Then you need to put either one on the left; the way to do this would be to get rid of its giant margin. That should work.

Otherwise, if you’re not doing it by the margin property, you could put Secondary into Main again, then give Secondary and Discussions a float: left; and a float: right; property (or the other way around). If there’s enough room, they should now be side by side – otherwise make them narrower.

You can also get rid of the wrapper‘s border properties, that’s what’s giving you the double-width line.

That’s a nice theme you made, though.

[chrishajer]

From the looks of your site, it worked.

[fel64]

Yup! Find this (or similar) codeblock in your theme’s front-page.php.

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

Around it put

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 666 ) { ?>

... that code block ...

<?php } ?>

You will probably want to change 666 to whatever forum id you actually want to exclude. You can put any conditional logic you like inside those if( … ) brackets, so for example to filter for two forums you would put if( $topic->forum_id != 666 && $topic->forum_id != 999 ). Hope that helps.

[fel64]

I think require_once (or require, include or include_once for that matter) need a path to the file rather than a URL. A path would be like the addresses you get when you’re browsing folders on your computer. I can’t say what your path would be, but mine is /home/username/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php. Ask your hosting provider if you don’t know what to use.

It might be easier to recreate the theme anyway, if I remember rightly a fair few folks come here with problems when trying to stick bb into the WP theme like that.

[csl749]

Hi folks,

I have WP and BB running off the same DB, integrating users etc as far as I can tell, and each working perfectly. But, following the instructions on the docs page on how to integrate WP functions so they can be called in BB, I get errors.

I put the require_once('www.mywebsite.com/wp-blog-header.php'); at the top of the BB config.php, in the hope that the WP functions would be discovered, but each time I try to add, say, a line to front-page.php like get_header or get_footer, to visually sandwich BB inside my WP header/footer, I get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/csleary/public_html/forum/my-templates/lemodie/front-page.php on line 1

I’m very much a novice with all this, so I’m just following instructions at the moment hoping things will work. But as far as I can tell I’ve done everything correctly – please may someone offer some ideas as to what’s going wrong? While searching other integration threads, I came across one that said to make sure WP was loaded first, so BB could then load the functions, but I don’t know how to ensure this. BB is currently in siteroot/forum, and wordpress is in the root dir itself.

Any help would be fantastic, thanks.

[chrishajer]

Can you do it from a command line rather than a web interface to avoid the upload problem?

Can you upload the file and then do something like this on the command line:

mysql -u UserName -p DBName < TheFullTargetFilePath.SQL

-p will prompt for the password on the command line

I imagine there’s probably a -h if you need to specify a different host too.

[chrishajer]

There are a couple of tricks you could use (I have no idea how it’s done officially.)

In your site, all you would need to do is insert this into the template that contains the page navigation you have now (Home, About and Contact all appear to be pages):

<li class="page_item"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/forum/" title="Visit the forum">Forum</a></li>

HTH

Hey fel64, I might get lynched if I drop off posts… quite a bit of great stuff there.

My import is up to around 30,000KiB, so that’s not the issue….

My SQL mojo man is AWOL, hence me coming here to look for some of the good SQL loving

[fel64]

I vaguely remember from setting up bb in localhost and trying to copy my server DB into my local MySQL that PHPMyAdmin wouldn’t take more than 16 Mb when importing. That might well be a setting that can be set somewhere, I don’t know; I can’t find it in its config file, in any case.

Edit: my localhost version of phpMyAdmin says “Max: 16,384KiB” by the import dialog.

To get around this if it is the problem, can you live without 1/3rd of the posts? Then you could delete them in the original database via some query and export the remaining 2/3rds. It might be better to hold out for someone with more database-mojo to come along and see if there’s a non-destructive way.

TRAC ticket created!

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/645

Trent

[LMD]

Version 0.3 is now available for download from the plugin browser.

Version 0.3 is not compatible with previous versions, so you will have to go through your templates and make some changes to the template functions (check the Readme file).

New Features

* added an ‘Avatar’ tab to the profile menu

* added a ‘default avatar image’ option (if you don’t want to use fel64’s identicons — see previous posts in this thread).

* can access just the avatar’s URI for use in other plugins.

fel – how would you like me to link to the identicon’s plugin? Currently, I’m just linking to your post in this thread.

Oh and I have hacked together an Über-Avatar plugin which pulls together the various avatar plugins into one ‘api’. It iterates through some logic based on a specified order of preference (set by the admin), checking to see if the user has specified an avatar using each plugin.

For example:

Order to check: avatar-upload, bb-avatar. bb-myavatars, identicon

Has user uploaded an avatar?

— Yes: Invoke the ‘avatar-upload’ plugin template function and break.

— No… continue

Has the user specified an external URL?

— Yes, invoke ‘bb-myavatar’ template function and break.

— No… continue

Has the user got a Gravatar?

— Yes, invoke ‘bb-myavatars’ template functions and break.

— No… continue

Has the user got an identicon?

— Yes, invoke the same code as ‘avatar-upload’ and break.

— No. create an identicon and then invoke the ‘avatar-upload’ code.

It’s not perfect yet though, so no release.

[gh3]

meanwhile I wait for the svn account, i can say you that now we are on 0.11 version, i have just finished to add the upgrade topic info for both destination and original thread.

sooner the download link… i hope

[dprice]

Ah – so ridiculously easy! I’m liking BBpress more and more .

I just requested code_trick to become pluggable too – hopefully that’ll happen, and soon, so I can just use a plugin and not hack at core files.

[dprice]

Request: functions-fomatting.php code-trick() to be made pluggable.

Reason: So parsers such as ASCIIMath can do their replacements on things in backticks. Then I can make a plugin for MathML support

[fel64]

Does that work? It should have been:

<?php if( bb_current_user_can('administrate) ) {

$wp_admin = 'wordpress/wp-admin/';

echo '<a href="'.$wpadmin.'">Wordpress Admin</a>'; } ?>

Sorry!

[midnightsun]

hey,

it doesn’t seem to be working! i’ve edited it a little

<?php if( bb_current_user_can('administrate') {

$wpadmin = 'wordpress/wp-admin/';

echo '<a href="'.$wpadmin.'">Wordpress Admin</a>'; } ?>)

[fel64]

Sure. Paste this in your HTML code somewhere:

<?php if( bb_current_user_can('administrate) {

$wp_admin = 'http://link.to.your/wordpress/wp-admin/';

echo '<a href="'.$wpadmin.'">Wordpress Admin</a>'; } ?>

[wmarcy]

Any chance you could show us the code for your admin stuff?

[wittmania]

The reason that happened is that the user roles are stored in a separate table. If it is an integrated site, they are in wp_usermeta (or bb_usermeta if not integrated) where the meta_key is bb_capabilites and the meta_value is the capabilities assigned to them. I have no idea what the syntax for these capabilities is. However, if you wanted you could go into the database and search for the user ID that you are changing, and just change it there. Otherwise, reassigning the role might be just as easy, though it will still leave the record in the usermeta DB for that ID number, which might cause some problems. Unfortunately, there just isn’t an easy way to do this.

[wittmania]

Trent uses if (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) in his YouTube plugin. Couldn’t you mod the allow_images plugin to also allow <script> tags, but only if the user is an administrator? That would still allow the scripts to do their thing, but only in posts authored by an administrator.

Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a way to place ads in posts by any ol’ user, there’s not a safe way to do that b/c they could put ANY script in and have it execute.

Best bet? bb-Ads. Situations just like this are what I wrote it for. You can see it in action at blog.wittmania.com/bbpress
