May be its a simple problem that I have encountered some times. Try Ctrl + F5

[_ck_]

There is a possiblity they are redirecting to WP for login even via bbpress and because there is no ?re (or whatever wordpress uses these days) it plops them right into the admin menu, which is typical WP insanity.

I’m going to be honest: I tried other forum technologies before this one. Every website I saw with bbPress looked so drastically simple that it turned me away for the longest time. I tried many different popular forums but none of them worked, nor integrated, the way I wanted them to.

I decided to give bbPress a whirl. When I first set it up, I almost gave up because none of the features I truly wanted were there, or at least not in place. That’s when I decided to look up the coding itself. Talk about flexibility!

Anywho, after days of work and editing, I think I finally have a functional gaming-related forum to go along with my newly-created gaming-related website. I’m fairly proud of what I’ve accomplished thus far, but I wanted to hear from you guys, the forum that I have visited more than any others the past week. Take a look after the jump below!

Oh, and sign-up on the main website if you like games! More forum features are well on their way!

can someone tell me how to add the piano black theme to bbpress?? I’m a newb and dont know how to code…

my site: http://www.tgxn.net/pw (/forum)

if that isn’t easy then I would like to know how to add links to the bbpress navigation bar…

[Gautam Gupta]

I have uploaded it to the SVN here – http://code.google.com/p/bb-mystique/source/browse/trunk

The 1.0 beta version can be downloaded from here – http://code.google.com/p/bb-mystique/downloads/detail?name=bb-mystique-1.0-beta.zip

[Gautam Gupta]

Hello,

Just wanted to tell that I have just ported Mystique theme to bbPress – I would be soon releasing it. Till then you can check out the live demo of it here:

http://www.cubetripods.com/forum/

Some notes:

• It currently doesn’t have a settings page but some settings can be set by editing the PHP files
• Requires avatars to be active
• Right now only works with trunk version of bbPress (didn’t check on 1.0, but it should work fine there except a few things which would be fairly easy to fix).

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m trying to instal bbpress and so far I managed to instal but I fail to integrate with WordPress

So I have WP in http://www.sitename.com/wpfolder, then inside wpfolder i added new one so my BBPress is instaled in http://www.sitename.com/wpfolder/bbfolder

And now I don’t know how to integrade

I’m getting this msg

Deep Integration With WordPress Required

It appears your WordPress installation isn't deeply integrated which is required for iBlogPro Forum to work correctly (it needs access to WP functions).



Please see Deep Integration With WordPress

so everytime when I call BBPress http://www.sitename.com/wpfolder/bbfolder I can’t see dashboard only this msg.

So I know that I need to add

Functions (optional)

bbPress will not have access to WordPress’ functions unless you manually tell bbPress to load WordPress first. This integration step is also known as “deep” integration, it is a totally optional part of integration and is not required to get shared cookies and logins working. In order to do it, you need to put require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/path/to/wp-load.php'); in bbPress’ bb-config.php (wp-load.php is in the same directory as WordPress’ wp-config.php file, so if your bbPress folder is directly inside your WordPress folder, the command becomes require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-load.php').

but I don’t know where to add, I tried in bb-config.php but I get some errors, to be hones and don’t know where to past code

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

so can somebody help me, or link me to some resources with answers?

Thanks in advance!

Hello again.

It worked like a glove. Thank you chrishajer. And thank you Kevin as well.

For posterity’s sake now, this is what one should modify in their style.css in order to achieve a vertical scrollbar for their tag list:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

overflow:auto;

height: 240px;}

I sometimes wonder where should one start if one wanted to build a solid foundation in PHP? For I only use (basic) logics and ask for help when I’m stuck.

Nevertheless, thank you all once again.

Regards,

Pastor Bob

This is the way relative URLs function. You must modify your template and put on the absolute URL.

<a href="<?php bb_uri('/videos.php'); ?>">video</a>

If you want to reinstall, you will need to drop all the bb_ tables from the database. You will get this “upgrade” notice when there are bb_ tables in the database.

It almost looks like you used main_ for your bbPress database table prefix? I hope that is not the table prefix for your WordPress installation. If it is, then using the same prefix for bbPress means the bbPress installer tried to install into your WordPress tables.

[Zauxst]

Oh dear!



bbPress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.



Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

This is what showes now when the Database Table is active with the current error. Clicking on the Upgrade Script does nothing only refreshes the web-page.

[Zauxst]

Ah yeh i’ve forgot to mention that i use sub-domain for bbPost and not a URL like www.example.com/forum

My main blog and website is www.nightheaven.co.cc and the forum is located at www.forum.nightheaven.co.cc so might that be a problem?

[Zauxst]

I get these strange errors after trying to install bbPress

Forum could not be created!

Key master email not sent!

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

>>> Setting up custom user table constants



Step 1 - Creating database tables

>>> Database is already installed!!!



Step 2 - WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Blog address (URL): http://nightheaven.co.cc/

>>> WordPress cookie keys set.

>>> WordPress "auth" cookie salt set from input.

>>> WordPress "secure auth" cookie salt set from input.

>>> WordPress "logged in" cookie salt set from input.

>>> User database table prefix: main_

>>> WordPress MU primary blog ID: 1



Step 3 - Site settings

>>>>>> Username: username

>>>>>> Email address: me@yahoo.com

>>>>>> Password: Your existing password

>>> Description: Just another bbPress community

>>> Forum could not be created!

>>> Key master email not sent!



There were some errors encountered during installation!

[chrishajer]

You *do* need to set the height, at least, to create the vertical scrollbar. So what size do you want to constrain it to? Can you show an example of a page where the tag list is too long that you want to add the scrollbar to?

Maybe this page?

http://www.pastorbob.co.uk/forum/bible-study/are-we-invincible

Add this to the topic-tags CSS right where you added the overflow: auto

height: 110px;

That will make it about as tall as the information to the left (at least on this page, with the amount of information there.)

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

This is what I’ve done with my topic.php:

<div style="overflow:auto"><?php topic_tags(); ?></div>

No result. Also, shouldn’t I set a width and a length somewhere?

I’ve also tried:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

overflow:auto;}

No result.

Suggestions?

Regards,

Bob

[kevinjohngallagher]

Could you give us a link?

Could you tell us what version of the browser you’re on?

(did you google, cos FF3.6 had this issue from 3.6.2 to 3.6.6)

http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_offset=0&comments_threadId=0&comments_parentId=562600&comments_threshold=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&forumId=1&time_control=3600

Is your favicon in the root?

Is your favison called via code?

It’ll be a nice quick fix if you could give us some more info

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Bob,

Finished is not quite the word i’d use to describe it, but it works as intended.

I generally like to scope out all of the thing I want a plugin to do, and then I can add to it incrementally, which is why there are 4 functions with no code in them (but they’re never called, it’s more placeholders).

The code isn’t released under a GPL yet, not that I’d try submitting them here anyway given past horrors with the system, but please feel free to use it on your forums Bob, and shout me if you’ve any issues.

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

How can I create a scrollbar for the list of tags in my topics?

I want to keep the search form though.

This is how my style.css looks like:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

[Xevo]

Never mind, solved it.

Had a conflict with one of my own plugins.

Thanks though!

[chrishajer]

What happens when you try to use it? Is there an error message?

[Xevo]

Hi guys,

I just download bbcode_lite hoping it would work, but it didn’t. So anyone has a fix for this?

Or perhaps another plugin that does work?

Thanks,

Mitchell

OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR:

---

In Installation Step 3, the ‘”Key Master” Username’ is a text entry box, with no pre-populated values.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:

---

The ‘”Key Master” Username’ should be a drop-list, with the admin IDs of the primary blog in it.

DETAILS

---

When integrating with an MU site, Step 2 asks for the WordPress Primary Blog ID.

In step 3, the install program uses the value entered to find administrators for the specified blog. The function populate_keymaster_user_login_from_user_tables concatenates the database prefix, the blog ID specified, and the constant ‘_capabilities’. For example, if the prefix is ‘wp_’ and blog ID is 1, you get ‘wp_1_capabilities’.

There’s only one problem with this. When you install WordPress, you have to complete the standard installation, and then reconfigure it to be a multi-site blog. For the standard installation, the first blog does not contain the numeric ID, and neither does the capabilities meta_key – it is simply ‘wp_capabilities’.

SUGGESTED FIX:

---

In Step 2, the pop-up help text for the “WordPress MU primary blog ID” field states:

“If you are integrating with a WordPress MU site you need to specify the primary blog ID for that site. It is usually 1. You should probably leave this blank if you are integrating with a standard WordPress site.”

Change the wording, to more accurately reflect what needs to be entered:

“If you are integrating with a WordPress MU site, you need to specify the primary blog ID for that site. If you have changed the primary site, enter the site ID. You should probably leave this blank if you have not changed the primary site, or if you are integrating with a standard WordPress site.”

[jhyslop]

If you install bbPress integrated with WordPress, the installation fails with a message “Your installation failed with some minor errors.”

Looking at the error log, the message was:

“Forum could not be created!”

I dug through the code, and found the problem, in bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-admin.php, in the function bb_new_forum:

// Expects forum_name, forum_desc to be pre-escaped

function bb_new_forum( $args ) {

global $bbdb;

if ( !bb_current_user_can( ‘manage_forums’ ) )

return false;

bb_current_user can ONLY return true if you are currently logged into WordPress as an administrator. I recommend changing the ‘if’ condition to:

if ( !BB_INSTALLING && !bb_current_user_can( ‘manage_forums’ ) )

I got it to work is was the path to the wordpress header i ha wrong with a silly typo, all good now
