This used to work but is was accidentally broken in a recent commit. Will be working soon.

Alright, so after running the install. I get these errors:

Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.

I have tried dropping all the bbPress tables and reinstalling it, but the problem still persists. I get this error message everytime after running the install script. I am running PHP 5.3.5 and MySQL 5.5.8 on a WAMP localhost server. Also, I am trying to integrate bbPress with my current WordPress blog…

Thanks in advance,

I want to remove the revision part. It seems to come from this function: bbp_topic_content(); Which file is generating it?

[aaironman]

Good now – all you have to do is turn off permalinks after you move a directory.

If you want the Permalinks options to work, you have to change the “options-permalinks.php” file. Mine initially looked like this:

**********

$permalink_options = array(

‘mod_rewrite’ => array(

‘title’ => __( ‘Permalink type’ ),

‘type’ => ‘radio’,

‘options’ => array(

‘0’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>None</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘forums.php’, array( ‘id’ => 1 ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

‘1’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>Numeric</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘forums/1’, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

‘slugs’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>Name based</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘/forums/first-forum’, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) )

)

)

);

**********

And so I changed it to this:

**********

$permalink_options = array(

‘mod_rewrite’ => array(

‘title’ => __( ‘Permalink type’ ),

‘type’ => ‘radio’,

‘options’ => array(

‘0’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>None</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘forums.php’, array( ‘id’ => 1 ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

‘1’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>Numeric</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘/1’, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

‘slugs’ => sprintf( __( ‘<span>Name based</span> %s‘ ), bb_get_uri( ‘/first-forum’, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) )

)

)

);

Hi,

I’ve been searching for some hours now but I guess I don’t find the answer because it must be an easy answer

I’ve successfully integrated BP 1.03 in my WO 3.1 and everything works fine so far.

But the forum looks like it’s another site, I mean it’s basicaly due to the template.

My wish is to have my BBPRESS installed into a WP Page (such as simple:press plugin for example) or just like it is on this very bbpress.org website !

Any clue about how to do it ?

Thanks for your help

[Mike Challis]

How can I add a plugin to this site?

I am already a WordPress plugin developer. My WordPress plugins have over 2 million downloads. I made a CAPTCHA plugin for bbPress, I would like to add it. Thanks for any help.

I am logged on, went to this page:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests

I clicked on the big button “Add your plugin”

There is no form, just this message:

---

Add Your Plugin

You can add the plugin you’ve written to the plugin directory by filling out the form below.

This form is only for plugin developers. If you’d like to see a plugin listed here, please contact that plugin’s author.

Hi,

I know there are lots of topics out there that are similar, but I can’t find an answer that works for me. Much of the paste bin code is expired, and I have a custom theme which i think is complicating things.

So right now I my front page displays a list of all the forums. I want it to stay that way when i add child forums, and I want to click on the parent forums to go to a list of subforums/child forums.

Instead of this, the children just get added to the end of the list.

<?php if ( bb_forums("depth=1") ) : ?>

<div id="forum-main">



<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>



<div<?php bb_forum_class('bb-category'); ?>>

<?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small>', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?>



<span class="forum-icon"></span>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

You can view the forum here: http://totallyadd.com/forum

The last category ‘Ritalin’ is suposed to be a child of ‘medication’.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

I need some help with the CSS… I can’t seem to figure out what I need to change in the CSS so that it does not completely mess up my layout.

http://groceryvine.com/community/forum/groceryvine/

I’m just using the BBPress.css at the moment.

I just want to fit the forums into my normal post/page area

[tnwinn]

Can anyone tell me why my forum looks like this:

http://gogo-gringo.com/forum/

?

I have been looking for a place to change the wrapping or the width, by using Firebig Lite and looking through my CSS, but I’m a newbie and can’t find where to fix it

Cheers for any help!

Well, maybe too risky.

I now use Instant Password, Private Forums and Role Manager to do the work, i.e. add member without sending email and random password and on a very basic level, limit unwanted registrations.

Instant Password lets member choose their own password.

Private Forums hides content from unregistered user.

Role Manager: I ticked out write permission for Member and added another role called “Writer” which is exactly the same with the default “Member” role. That way newly registered cannot post anything and that pretty much prevents some newbie from messing up the forums…

I personally hope that support for existing plugins will be a possibility, if not upon its release, fairly early on. I have a good BB forum running right now with enough plugins that the idea of not having them (or figuring out how to re-write them with the new needs of the bb-plugin) is making my head hurt.

[BDA4]

I found the solution to my above problem…this mistake is for the other potential newbie’s making silly mistakes

My database password entered into my wp-config.php file was incorrect. My WP install was a one click install with dream host and I needed to configure the wp-config.php file – for some reason there was barely any information in it.

Topic Closed. yay.

Hello, I’ve been struggling 8 hours on this and I would appreciate any help

I’ve researched this high and low but cannot find an answer.

Problem: At STEP 2 of bbpress installer I try to access my wp-admin page for the requested Salts, but lo and behold – I’m locked out of wp-admin! I am shown a blank page.

WordPress and bbpress downloads share the same mysql database. bbpress is on same level as wp-admin — eg. mysite.com/forums. (see: https://picasaweb.google.com/andrews.bda/DirectoryBbpress# )

Why would my wp-admin lock me out during the bbpress installation?

Thanks in advance for any help!

~BDA

WP 3.1

bbpress 1.0.3

dreamhost

(((As an aside, maybe this has bearing on my problem….I did not have any auth or salt keys located within my wp-config.php file after dreamhost one click install. I had to manually copy and paste from wp-configsample.php!)))))

[tooltrainer]

LOL I beat you to it. Decided to try one file at a time and see what would happen.. and waddya know it started working! Then I just dropped EVERY file from the bbp 2010 theme, that didn’t already exist in Profits Theme, into the PT theme folder and voila – my forum is back & working beautifully.

I am absolutely shocked it was this easy!

Thanks for the insanely fast response, and keep up the great work… I’m a huge fan of the bbP plugin already and will definitely help spread the word about it however I can!

Hi Jonathan,

The bbPress plugin is still in development, and as such there isn’t a lot of documentation out in the world yet. This is partly due to some architectural changes made mid-way through development, and partly due to more time being spent in the code and not enough time spent on the bbPress.org site. That will eventually shift, and we’ll be sure to put up documentation that bbPress has needed all along.

Regarding Profits Theme, you have a few options. I think the safest will be to make a copy of your Profits Theme that you can modify yourself, without fear of any changes being lost in the event the theme is updated. (You’ll want to edit the style.css and rename your copy, so it doesn’t conflict with the original.) Then, copy the “/bbpress” folder from bbp-twentyten, and drop it in your theme. Next, copy the files prefixed with “page-” and “single-” and drop those into your theme as well. That should fix most of the missing file issues, and get you started so things are ‘functioning.’ The last thing will be for you to start hacking at your CSS to make things look the part.

Most themes should already come with a decent amount of table styling, which is what the bbp-twentyten theme uses (for the sake of being easy and that the layout of data is indeed tabular in nature.) To fill in the CSS blanks, you’l want to experiment with “/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css” and see what you’re missing and what fits.

Cheers, and thanks for the kudos

Hi all… I hope this is the right place for this and that there are some resources you can share.

I’ve just discovered bbP, and ever better the bbP plugin, and am absolutely thrilled with how well it works. Seriously, AWESOME job to all involved!!

My issue now is that I’m building my site around a sophisticated theme called Profits Theme (http://profitstheme.com/demo/ for a bare-bones live demo of it). Of course this theme doesn’t know about bbP at all.

I dropped a copy of the theme into the bbP themes directory and lo & behold, it does in fact see it! But of course the various hooks are missing to actually make bbP appear inside the theme.

So in short (too late I’m looking for information on how to incorporate bbP inside an existing theme. I’m considering doing a diff on stock twenty-ten vs. bbp-twenty-ten to try and figure it out on my own but I’m hoping there are some good resources on what’s needed to make bbP work in a theme. Googling hasn’t turned up a whole lot, mostly just stuff about standalone bbP and I’m not sure how well that applies to bbP the plugin.

Thanks all!

Jonathan

Thanks JJJ!

Yes, it wasn’t covering the new branch (bbPress as WP plugin). Only trunk.

Hi all,

I have a problem What’s new?

My scenario:

I installed Theme switcher plugin and it works fine.

I use it to switch between two themes (these are both different language versions of the same theme).

Still, this works fine. Thing is, some of descriptions are hardcoded in core files (like titles of post form for example). Other titles, I can modify in template files, but functions.bb-template.php is shared.

I could find a way around this by using a condition (in core files) like:

if (current theme is A) {

do stuff

}

elseif (current theme is {

do other stuff

}

Thing is I’m not sure how to check which theme is currently active. Theme Switcher plugin uses ?bbtheme= at the end of URL to load different theme – so as I suppose this is some variable stored in cache or something and there must be a way to check what it currently is. I’m not a coder though, so any help would be highly appriciated!
