Guide to WordPress integration is now up. Ah, that was a good day and a half of playing around in phpMyAdmin, bbPress, and WordPress!

[amplifiedshock]

Hello everyone,

I just wrote a guide to basically achieve what the title says. Two reasons:

(1) There isn’t a vb4-to-bbPress converter out there making the process more difficult then it should be

(2) The answers are out there if you’re willing to search for hours like I did I decided to piece together all my research into a single guide

Credit, of course, goes to the generous souls who created the vB-to-phpBB and the phpBB-to-bbPress converters, which are both required.

I’m still working on the integration with WordPress part which should be up soon. If you guys see any errors, please let me know.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for aswers

If you guys have integrated setup, then if you login from WordPress side and then try to access bbPress dashboard you are redirected back to the frontpage. Just login from bbPress side and you will be able to pass through

I downloaded .zip archive of trunk from http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk (beta version of bbpress i guess) and i want to upgrade my bbpress from 1.0.2. Should i’m just only upload and replace all files ? or what… ?

Thanks for answer

Hello Community

I have a small problem after intalling wordpress 2.9.2 and bbpress 1.0.2.

I’ve installed the bb-integration plugin on my wordpress and configured the necessary things. I had also check the keys and salt’s in bb-config and wp-config twice and checkt out the support forum here but couldnt find any solution.

The Problem: I can register on wp without any problem and login with this user into the bbpress forum. BUT if i make a login on WP the BB doesnt know something about that. I know that this has to bee a small cookie-problem but i cant find the “bug” . Does anyone has a hint please?

My Cookies
———-
domain wordpress_logged_in_THEKEY /imgipress/ VALUE1
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/wp-content/plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/wp-admin VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/my-plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/bb-plugins VALUE2
domain wordpress_THEKEY /imgipress/bbpress/bb-admin VALUE2
domain wordpress_test_cookie /imgipress/ VALUE2

domain – is always the same string
THEKEY – is always identically the same
VALUE1 – is a combination of my username%something%something
VALUE2 – is a combination of my username%something%something
but VALUE2 is always identically the same
[code]

What’s the problem? should the cookiepath always be the same? I dont think so .. but whats the Problem? 🙂

Thank you for any hint!

You can use something like “admin can post anything” then admins can … post anything (including Flash embed code.)

Or, if you have it hosted at one of the video sites, you can use one of the video plugins.

@ Hard Seat Sleeper

did you get any further with the Sandbox theme for bbpress? Could be really useful

it would be amazing to have an equivalent of the P2 theme (that I see you’re running on your blog) for bbpress too. Very clean design, easy to mod, lightweight etc

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Looks great!

[gerikg]

I’m assuming you followed integration tutorial somewhere that is current.

add

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

to your .htaccess file if you don’t have one create one in the root of the folder.

In https://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests put “Plugin Description (required)” over the corresponding textarea (need just a <br /> as for “Plugin Name (required)”).

Put some space between the “Submit Comment ” button and “Allowed Tags” <p> in plugins/topic/*

This is strange. The star gif used for rating in plugin section does have a tiny gold border when displayed with gold background. (Firefox/3.6, no problem with Safari 4.0.5) I can take a screenshot.

[chrishajer]

One topic per topic please. You’re switching gears on us here making it hard to help.

It’s repeating because of this rule in the CSS:

background-repeat: repeat-x;

In the #wrapper section. That says “repeat the image horizontally:, which is what’s happening. Remove that line and it won’t be repeated (or maybe you need to change it to background-repeat: no-repeat).

Then you need to position it.

This isn’t really bbPress specific just, just basic HTML and CSS.

Download links and other infos are not displayed in several plugins: Fixed.

Yep, but every plugin page still displays info about an old version of it.

Luckily if you download the plugin you will end up with its most recent release.

Hi everyone.

1) I installed “Forum Last Poster” in order to display additional information on my front page. In the forum section, I was able to display a link to the last updated topic in each forum, but the whole link is displayed. Does anyone know how to truncate the link to show only the post name instead of the entire link?

Here’s my code thus far:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<h2><?php _e(‘Forums’); ?></h2>

<table id=”forumlist” cellspacing=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Main Theme’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Topics’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Topic’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

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

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(‘bb-category’); ?>>

<td colspan=”3″><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

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

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php forum_last_post_link(); ?></big><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</table>

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

2) I’m using the “Bavatars” plug-in, but I need to be able to style the “avatar” section in the members page in order for it to be aesthetically pleasing and for it to function correctly. I believe that the HTML on this page is outputting from the “avatars-profile.php” file, however whenever I try to div it off like I did on every other page, I get an error and the page won’t load.

Here’s the code:

bb_get_header();

****Not in code <div id=”Whatever??”>

if ( $message )

echo ‘<div class=”notice”><p>’ . $message . ‘</p></div>’;

echo bb_get_avatar( $user_id, 100 );

?>

<form method=”post” action=”<?php profile_tab_link( $user_id, ‘avatar’ ); ?>” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

<input type=”file” name=”bavatar” id=”bavatar” />

<input type=”submit” value=”Upload new avatar »” />

</form>

<form method=”post” action=”<?php profile_tab_link( $user_id, ‘avatar’ ); ?>”>

<?php bb_nonce_field( ‘bavatar_delete-‘ . $user_id ); ?>

<input type=”submit” id=”delete” class=”delete” name=”delete” value=”Delete” />

</form>

***********Not in code </div???>

The styling attributes that the “avatar” page needs are:

width: 890px;

padding: 30px;

margin-top: -30px;

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

@Petehds: looks like @chrishajer already answered you

Instead of color: rgb(255, 255, 255); just use color: #FFFFFF; or color: white;

For the image, you are correct. That’s a thin slice that is tiled horizontally. That’s useful for different browser sizes and screen resolutions.

For the size of a jpeg, you need to know how wide your overall layout is going to be, then make it so it fits. The width of the kakumei layout is 760px I believe, so make an image 760px wide and see how it fits. You may need to adjust padding and margins, or even the image size, but start at 760px and see how it lines up.

[chrishajer]

You want a plugin to allow bbcode. There are a couple:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons

[chrishajer]

Check the search results for this plugin search:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbcode

I don’t think many of those 284 pages of results have anything to do with bbcode.

Much more realistic:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:https://bbpress.org/plugins/%20bbcode

[asorethumb]

Here ya go:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

Works fine for me on v1.02

[CEThom]

I’m new to bbpress, having previously only used phpbb where all the codes are present as follows:

Italics:

Bold:

So on and so forth. But these codes aren’t working for me on bbpress.

What are the codes for formatting text on bbpress, ie. bold, italics, underline, centralising, changing the size, etc?

Or is there a plugin I can get so the text bar appears at the top of the page like it does on a phpbb forum?

[Petehds]

1. Here is what I found at 683; but I am not sure this is it:

#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th {

text-align: left;

background-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);

font: 11px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

font-weight: normal;

padding: 5px 9px;

color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

}

How do I change it to a hex color code?

2 & 3. The existing image is just a thin color bar that I guess is repeated to fit across the top as the header if I am correct. It’s the url you have posted above.

Can I just replace that with a full size jpeg that fits acroos the entire header? If so; what size does the jpeg need to be?

Regards,

John

[Ricard Torres]

Hey John,

1. Sure you can. Replace this image and you’re done http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/images/page_header_tile.png

2. You mean add the blog logo? You can add anything you want. You can do it in the header.php file of your theme

3. I’m not sure of what are we talking about in this 3th point

4. You can find the search box in the header.php file arround the line 33 I guess. Look for the function

<?php search_form(); ?>

Then place it where you want.

Regards.

[gerikg]

look for this code. It’s there TWICE

forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> –

replace

–

with

& # 8 2 1 1 ;

take out the spaces

[Paulo Faustino]

Thank’s a lot everyone. The forums are working really nice

If anyone is interested in seeing it in action, here’s: http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums

Thanks a lot.

[chrishajer]

Paulo, all the code does is echo the name of the site. You can remove it.
