I should have caught that the first time *SLAPS HIMSELF*. You are including your wp-config.php file for WordPress integration? For integration with wordpress, you need to define the other parts of wordpress, but I wouldn’t include that file as it has nothing to do with integration or with getting bbPress going. Take out this and it should work:

require_once( dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php' );

If you want to integrate with WordPress, check out this integration documentation for bbPress and WP.

I think is must be just the way the comments are put in! Maybe try this format with the commenting out:

<?php



define('BBDB_NAME', '********');

define('BBDB_USER', '********');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '********');

define('BBDB_HOST', '********');



$bb->domain = 'http://www.dongbang51.net';

$bb->path = '/board/';

$bb->name = 'New';

$bb->admin_email = '********@hotmail.com';



$bb->mod_rewrite = false;



$bb->page_topics = 30;



$bb->edit_lock = 60;



$bb->gmt_offset = 0;



define('BBLANG', '');



$bb->akismet_key = '';



$bb->wp_table_prefix = '';

$bb->wp_home = '';

$bb->wp_siteurl = '';



/* Stop editing */



if ( !defined('BBPATH') )

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php' );



?>

As well, I am assuming you are using an Akismet number, otherwise have it as:

$bb->akismet_key = false;

function my_get_forum_link_filter( $link ) {

$link = 'yay'; // Whatever you want to do with the link

return $link; // Very important line!

}



add_filter( 'get_forum_link', 'my_get_forum_link_filter' );

That last line adds your custom filter function to the get_forum_link filters.

Hi,

I am trying to write a plugin and I do not know how can I do it properly.

The plugin I am working on requires the editing of the “get_forum_link” function, specifically the “$link ” vatiable.

I have the code done in php but do not know how to make a plugin out of it. What and how should I use add_action or add_filter?

Thanx.

function get_forum_link( $forum_id = 0, $page = 1 ) {

global $forum;

if ( $forum_id )

$forum = get_forum( $forum_id );

if ( bb_get_option( ‘mod_rewrite’ ) )

$link = bb_get_option( ‘uri’ ) . “forum/$forum->forum_id” . ( 1 < $page ? “/page/$page” : ” );

else {

$args = array();

$link = bb_get_option( ‘uri’ ) . ‘forum.php’;

$args = $forum->forum_id;

$args = 1 < $page ? $page : ”;

$link = add_query_arg( $args, $link );

}

return apply_filters( ‘get_forum_link’, $link, $forum->forum_id );

}

You couldn’t be farther from an expert on LDAP that I am

I just recall seeing the trac ticket and didn’t know if it was relevant.

[Null]

Show me what you mean

Or look at bbportal.org and go to the forum. Thats also in a “new” sidebar

[chrishajer]

Please start a new thread for that new topic

https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

Basically, it’s not done from the admin panel. You create a my-templates folder, then a folder in there for your theme (so “newtheme” or somthing) then follow the instructions above.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like there is an error in your config.php, in this line maybe:

$bb->domain=

The other possibility is an .htaccess rewriting the URL to that location. Do you have

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

or

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

[bbolman]

As far as I know, bbPress does not currently support multiple groups (this may come later) so giving access to certain groups isn’t really possible. With the forum restriction plugin you could restrict certain folks, but unfortunately what you’re looking for isn’t here yet. Give it some time though, it may pop up soon enough.

[mrpapasworld]

I have looked at the private forums plugin, but it seems to be an all or nothing deal based on the user being logged in…

I didnt find anything when I searched, but wondering if anyone knows of or is working on forum access based on membership in a group? So basically, you would allow forum access to certain groups and you would assign users to various groups (or roles in wp/bb terms). Gives you much finer control over who can access which forums…

also, any way to make bbpress inherit the roles as defined in WP? or maybe just add new roles to bb? easy enough to do hacking the code, but I havent looked at the bbpress plugin structure yet…

thanks…

[Tweek]

Ah ok, thanks Trent, guess the problem lies elsewhere then

[marky]

Thanks, Trent. I’ll give the plugin fix a shot and keep an eye on the ticket.

[macwise]

I have come across a link in the forums that seems to do nothing past 404’ing out. I thought it was only present in my forum since I’ve been heavily reconfiguring it. However, even posting this message I see the bug here, unless I don’t understand it correctly. Above this post box, there is an h2 element with a post-form class which says “Add New Topic »”. Only the “»” is hyperlinked to:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/#postform

(which 404’s out). This behavior is consistent on my forum as well. The offending??? code is in:

bb-includes/template-functions.php

Search for $h2 and you should be able to find it.

I found this applies to the “Add New Topic” message, as well as the “New Topic In This Category” message, but only if there is no current topic in that category.

Is this a bug, groundwork for a future feature, or am just not catching the vision of something earthshattering?

[Null]

Or use my bbMenu plugin when it is released

Btw in the first post: your forum’s profile links is bugged

[ardentfrost]

mdawaffe’s plugin isn’t as cool as mine

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1

j/k about mine being cooler, but it may work in a way that you like better

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

That version of the plugin should work fine, but the most recent version (Front Page Topics 0. is a bit more configurable.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/3

[marky]

I recently installed bbPress to localhost to experiment before I put it on a live site. Strangely, the stylesheet was being ignored. Looking at the source brought up this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost#support/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

Edit: OK, I can’t seem to type a backslash here, but the # symbol in the above code snippet is actually a backslash (opposite of /)

I have no idea why the slash after localhost is backwards. It appears correctly in all other locations. For what it’s worth, here is the relevant section of my config.php file:

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = 'http://localhost'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path   = '/support/';               // Example: '/forums/'

Any help?

“The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.”

Are you trying to run the install script or the upgrade script? If you already have a database, you should be running the upgrade script:

bb-admin/upgrade.php

Is it a complete database, or did you only keep certain tables?

In your PHPMyAdmin, what bb_ tables do you see before and after running the install/upgrade script?

[intellivision]

…like in WordPress? The additional use of “template” will tend to divide and confuse, no?

Like how, across software, plugins are either “mods”, “modules”, “extensions” or “addons”.

Now’s the time! We can still consolidate the concept into one term.

I’m splitting hairs, I know . bbPress is wonderful. Thanks so much to the developers. I’m a phpBB veteran (admin), and bbPress is so nice I want to cry.

[chrishajer]

I saw this in bb-admin/upgrade.php

// Very old (pre 0.7) installs may need further upgrade utilities. Post to https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev if needed

I wonder what version you were using? In bb-includes/functions.php, there is a section for version.

        case 'version' :

return '0.73';

break;

Maybe that will help someone help the upgrade script for you.

[jefgodesky]

Success! The Allow Images plugin does nearly the same thing I’m trying to do here. The “pre_post” hook applies the filter when the post is saved, and ideally I’d prefer if the filter were applied when the post is displayed instead, but this can manage all the same. I’ve had to make some changes to accomodate escaping of single quotes, and I’ve expanded the filter to also include aliases for “internal” links, so this will cover MediaWiki’s markup for:

• Bolding
• Italicizing
• Basic internal links

  • With aliases
  • Not including template transclusion, image embedding, or anything fancy like that.

• External links

  • External links without descriptions are numbered
  • Descriptions are handled

So, fairly basic mockup, but already meeting all the most common usage. Here’s the working plugin in whole as I have it now. I’ve put in a request to include it in Subversion repository with the other plugins.

The parameter array is overkill at the moment, but hopefully this plugin will continue to expand, and that array could become much more useful.

Note: Heh, well, it looks like the formatting I needed to get the bold and italics to work got stripped out. What you need to do is to replace ”’ with \’\’\’ — it’s a Perl regex so that basically means ‘ which is what you’ll get from the escaped MySQL string.

I’ve yet to find any way of significantly improving on spencerp’s method, linked above. I am hoping to get them all to share a single login cookie, but I haven’t figured out how to do that yet. As far as a unified user table, though, spencerp’s solution really hits the spot; he also blogged the solution in full here. If I figure out the unified cookie problem, I’ll post it here and on spencerp’s thread

The markup issue has me really frustrated with bbPress’ lack of documentation, though. I haven’t even been able to find the proper filter by looking through the source code. In terms of functionality, this should be a fairly straightforward filter, but it seems to be completely stuck on so simple a question as what the right hook is called…

[amsports]

Installation went smoothly thru step one.

When the step two page came up it displayed the following errors.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD COLUMN ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment



bbPress database error: [Key column 'ID' doesn't exist in table]

ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID)



1. Added index bb_users PRIMARY KEY (ID)



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 0

I checked via MyphpAdmin and have been unable to determine how to correct the errors, or even understand what they are.

Below the error list it appears as though step two partially worked, i.e. it displays a login link and user name and P-word.

However the login link returns (paraphrased) “it appears you have not installed bbpress” and a link to the install page.

The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.

I also made a second, but new, database with the same results as described above.

[mrpapasworld]

perhaps if i didnt already have a heavily modded theme from previous versions… seems I always get lots of experience modding core files 😉

luckily I can work around code fine enough… just hope I dont have to do it too often before it gets formally included…

[chrishajer]

I will post it later today. Minor one, I think
