okay … thanks for all the help! So, I did that. I added the facebook code exactly as you suggested to “login-form.php”

and nothing shows up at all… what’s supposed to happen? What could I be missing?

[XU3E]

Honestly, I really like idea give bbPress more functionality to core. Mainly unread post like phpBB has (All post mark as read and etc.) and more specific permission for some user rules and category. I dont know how many people wants this. We should vote, need polls,… but… Oh yes bbPress doesnt have any polls, we need plugin for this. Is there any plugin workign for my release? Damn…

Of course, for someone Its not important but forum without that its just guestbook with searchbar and topics. Really messy and pure.. Bleh!

Maybe the best solutions could be official bb-plugins supported by developers for every release (but its really hard task for developers). But eveneryone will be happy. Light-weight core and pack of plugins ready to go…

Everytime when i am downloading new plugin i prey: Will that plugin works with my new release? And what the next new release? Its terrible for every user. Sometimes i try fix some bugs but i am not php guru, and its real pain for me…

And for the people that love really light-weight solution. They can still use _ck_ 0.9 fork or another old realease of bbpress. Its up to them but official bbPress need to be pushed.

I love the way bbPress is made. I love functionality, simple look similiar to WordPress (i really love wordpress). But bbPress has so many holes at funcionality. Light weight forum like punBB? No… perhaps more sophisticated solutions with witdgets, gridtables, better sorting by speciphic parameters, quoting, better slug manipulation (like WP has), category manipulation, permissions and mainly integration with WP.

But everything should be fast as could be. Just look at MyBB. Or Perhpaps phpBB. Yaeh, its really fast… its just about optimizing. Why i dont switch to them back? They didnt have support for buddypress or wordpress… I mean native support – everything under one roof.

Conclusion…

bbPress should be disscussion board – right now i am really disapointed. So we can google for forums or helpdesks and find inspirations. If i am wrong, just kick me to my ***

I guess I never tried to include PHP in a bbPress reply, but maybe I was mislead by the “anything” in the plugin name. Maybe PHP is not added soon enough to actually be executed by the web server.

What are you trying to do exactly?

[nickaster]

Okay, excellent, I’ll try that tonight. So… should I get rid of those lines that I added? I don’t want to have a lot of extra code in there if I don’t need it.

[pagal]

@Cris, you should definitely use this plugin, it just allow javascript and flash video embed, not php code in post!

hope _ck_ will write more about it in this topic,

@kevinjohngallagher where are you man

help me, help you

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

yes you already have deep integration.

now just in bbPress you can call the function of any WordPress plugin, in your case, the FB connect function.

WP – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/

activate -> configure

in bbPress, edit the theme file where you want it by this ->

<?php

if ( function_exists('jfb_output_facebook_btn') )

{

jfb_output_facebook_btn();

jfb_output_facebook_init();

jfb_output_facebook_callback();

}

?>

This should work

[nickaster]

okay great, thanks man.

So, I added this code to the bb-config.php file from your page here:

Deep integration of bbPress with WordPress

I did, however, already have the following added:

require_once('/MYPATH/wp-blog-header.php');

does the latter mean I was already in “deep integration” ?

Either way, I don’t see any differences at all now as opposed to before. What does it mean to “integrate a FB button” … is there some code lying around that I can just stick into the templates?

thanks

[chrishajer]

forum_name() will echo the result and get_forum_name will not (so you can use it however you want, or just echo it.) I think all the get_ functions just get return value, not echo it.

[mr_pelle]

Edit profile-edit.php and move the <fieldset> blocks around as you wish. Note that you must move the display conditions too, so actually the first block are lines 13-16, second are lines 18-23, third are lines 25-34.

[chrishajer]

There was an old plugin from _ck_ “Admin can post anything”:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

You can try it will bbPages and see if it works. I’ve never used that plugin. I do use the “Admin can post anything” plugin.

[eramar91]

doesn’t work checkbox “remember me” , code:

<label class=”rememberme”>

Запомнить <input name=”remember” type=”checkbox” id=”quick_remember” value=”1″ tabindex=”3″ >

</label>

what’s wrong ?

[mr_pelle]

You may retrieve topic parent forum id using $topic->forum_id and then get its name using get_forum_name( $topic->forum_id ).

@Kevin

Thanks for your reply buddy!

Clears most of what I wanted to ask.

I agree with CK saying that we can achieve a better UI (mini project) similar to the WP so everyone can use it and feel the same.

Regarding replicating actions and filters, that can also be achieved over time if community comes up forward (or just a few real developers start exploiting it to use).

Once my schedule loosens up a bit more, I will take a look at bbPress 0.9 development. And I also agree on your point of not rushing into a fork before 1.1 is out. Also I need some time to get the real fundamentals of how it was build and how everything works under the hood.

But one thing remains unanswered, what all we will need to fork the project.

[pagal]

how? and will this work with bbPages?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yes

[kevinjohngallagher]

Ash mate, you know how much I like you and your work, but that poll is never going to give even close to an accurate figure. To start with you don’t know why people are voting for each one, or how often, or who’s voting.

I mean, Matt came on here and said that 0.9’s not been looked at in a long time and BAM 1.1 starts to get more votes. Matt forgets to mention, the 1.0 branch has had the same number of releases in the last year as the 0.9 branch: namely 0 !!

How much the 0.9 version has actually gone through testing and how much we can be confident it being secured.

Well it’s had 2 years more testing than 1.0 in the wild, and generally (apologies in advance) by people who are happier coding/debugging/ working without a GUI than the folks using 1.0 branch. Plus, the WP forums were running 0.9 until last August (at least), so it was known to be very secure then.

I know it may contain bugs, any code can but my curiosity lies in the testing & use it has gone through already.

A sh*t load more than 1.0.

Rememebr 1.0 was (another) rewrite decreeed from “above”, and we cancelled all Beta testing, and it took 10 alphas to even get useable (pres Alpha6 isn’t compatible with after-alpha-6), and broke most plugins etc. The process of getting 1.0 out the door also led to some of the real wizards leaving the project behind (see Chip Bennet, Justin Tadlock, JJJ, _ck_ etc), and released it in a week, and we released an update to 0.9 at the same time as 1.0’s last update

In my opinion, as someone who uses both; 1.0 only has 2 things going for it: The Admin section and it has more Actions/Filters.

Replicating actions/filters into 0.9 is easy. As _ck_ said, getting a nice looking UI into 0.9 is a mini project.

==============================================

1.1 has some good work, nae, some great work.

It also has some rusheed work, to get it out the door for testing.

It has at least 1000 lines of changed code last I checked (and that wasn’t today or yesterday) and we still have 10 tickets open – all before we release for Alpha testing, and all before we get a new package of BackPress released (in theory) after WP3.0.1’s release.

If we finished all of those tickets this week, and packaged an Alpha testing release for Monday, there is no way 1.1 will be released before September. Infact, we’re looking at a late-September/October release at a minimum, unless we skip testing and bug fixes (again).

Lets take our time and look at 0.9 objectively when 1.1 is close to coming out. Rushing into forks is just as dangerous as rushing into WP-reliant plugins

Ash mate, you’re a very smart guy. Go grab a busy forum and duplicate it on your machine, and convert to 0.9. You’ll very quickly see some of the small issues with it, but you’ll also be amazed at just how quick and robust it is.

[pagal]

@Ben L. I know you can do anything

Thanks man

[pagal]

is it possible?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Its a custom theme buddy and its kinda surprising for me that all you had to comment was that my theme looks like thesis.

[mr_pelle]

Do you want to customize the template for the upload avatar page? Edit the bavatar-profile.php file that comes with the plugin. It has an action inside, if I remember correctly, which hook you can modify.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@_ck_

How much the 0.9 version has actually gone through testing and how much we can be confident it being secured.

I know it may contain bugs, any code can but my curiosity lies in the testing & use it has gone through already.

If considered a fork, I think we need a few people on whom the people can count on for security updates.

What do you think?

[Greg]

Matt, we’re at cross purposes. Your previous definition of “core plugin” aside, I still don’t quite understand why it wouldn’t be useful to have a place in the taxonomy for something that…

1. is a plugin

2. is released with core (same release criteria etc.)

Like akismet today. I think there are a ton of advantages, but I’ve mentioned them above and I won’t belabor them. I didn’t suggest that it was necessarily 80% functionality, so maybe it does fit your definition of core plugin to some extent.

I guess “bloat” is a bit pejorative and wasn’t my intention to poke at WordPress. But any large piece of software needs to have a strategy to deal with the inevitable growth of the code base as it evolves.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You do deep integration by adding a line in bb-config.php to load wp-load.php or wp-blog-header.php. You can check your config file to see and if you are the one who setup everything, then most probably you don’t have deep integrated setups.

That said, deep integration just makes the work easier. FB connect without it is also possible but it will require someone to code that up.

[nickaster]

Interesting… so assuming my templates were default… where would I look for the code to add this? I can get in there and add it if I knew what it looked like.

[Ben L.]

Search engines generally ignore meta description and keywords because they get abused frequently. However, if you really want them, you can use add_action( 'bb_head', 'my_function_that_outputs_stuff' );.
