Hi gerikg,

this post could help you:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

1. Make a custom page

create a page discussion.php in the root forum folder

add require_once(‘./bb-load.php’); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..

2. Put in the code for the Latest discussions from the main page (?)

or

3. Make your own sql query – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

Hi all

Has anyone come across a fix for bbPress inregards to brute force attacks on passwords?

A brute force attack allows a user to attempt to login to the application with a valid user account using a dictionary of words for the password without the account being locked out.

bbPress allows multipul attempts at password entry without locking the user out. This means that someone can use a application to hack into a users account.

Has anyone made a fix/ plugin for this? Or know a way of solving this?

Help/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[gerikg]

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {; ?>

<table id="forumlist">

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

<td colspan="4" class="cattile"><?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>' ); ?></td>

<?php };?>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

I can’t get it right..

[chrishajer]

I suppose you could do the complete noob thing and say:

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {

continue;

}

else {

// do something

}

?>

Unless I am completely missing your point and this is some sort of test

[chrishajer]

Is it as simple as:

<?php if ( !bb_get_forum_is_category() ) {

// whatever

?>

[gerikg]

Add

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

to your .htacess file. By default GoDaddy uses php4

bah I should add pictures to my tutorial!

Hi chris,

thanks for your long post. It’s great to have you here as moderator

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

I can understand thoughs – although I’ve made a post about the “fresh face” just minutes ago. After using bbPress more than a year I believe in the future of this project. And I will contribute – where I can help.

For my thoughts … there should be a defined project team to coordinate the next steps. The weekly IRC meetups in December and January were the right way. To define a document team was also great. But after three months there are only you and Gautam “driving” the project.

I no need access. I need people who have access.

Matt left project (as u mentioned) and keep people with access. But this people left project too?

p.s. i added ps before u left comment)

p.p.s i don’t want fork good engine before it will become “another wp-plugin” – if you no need our help – it’s ok. just say

[chrishajer]

bbPress.org is just a WordPress site with a bbPress installation. You have everything you need in the bbPress releases to create your own fork or distribution or CMS engine. Why would you need FTP/DB access to create a project like that? All you need is the bbPress code right?

The person who has access to the database and FTP or server is Matt, or someone who works for him. I believe you’ve already gotten in contact with him.

[jurasiks]

i really have idea to fork bbPress and clean wp code out of him when i heard that bbPress will become a WP plugin,

next somebody (maybe Gautam) said that before some version bbPress stays standalone…

really, it’s no reason to make fork, best way to make new simple-forum(cms) engine with my friends, but…

if you have here “dedicated” community and wants some help from me and another people… no reason to blame me (man who wants make wiki about bbpress and help with project) or calling me a troll. thank you.

we need to find admin (with full FTP/DB access) of bbPress.org

that’s what i’m doing past week.

only with him we can make future of bbPress engine

p.s. very strange that people who develop bbPress dont know answer on this simple question?

[chrishajer]

I believe I am an editor at the bbPress.org WordPress blog. That means I don’t have access to the Appearance tab (to change themes) or to Plugins or Settings. I have access to Pages and Posts so I can made additions or modifications to content there, but I can’t change the design or anything like that.

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

Yury, if you’re not seriously talking about creating a fork, but gave this topic a title like that “to get people’s attention” then you’re trolling, which is not productive.

Right now, we have the bbPress.org forums, which are moderated daily by me. I help out with solutions where I can, or try to pull information out of users who post of problems with very few details, to possibly help some other thoughtful soul who might come along and be able to help.

I don’t touch integration problems at all (“when I log in to bbPress, I am automatically logged out of WordPress” anyone?) because integration is far too complicated with too much voodoo required (PHP5? 777 permissions? pasting in keys and cookie domains that may or may not make a difference?) for someone who just wants to install a forum where their WordPress users can be logged in automatically. For that reason, and a couple others (functional integration [ability to use things like wp_list_pages()] and theme integration (“I want my bbPress to just be a page inside my WordPress site” or “how do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?”)) I support the decision to make bbPress a WordPress plugin.

Honestly though, I’m not sure how that will work with custom post types coming in 3.0. Justin Tadlock was playing with an idea that used custom post types to create a forum structure, and it looked pretty neat. He lost that work in a hard drive crash or something, but he mentioned it didn’t take long to do.

For those who want bbPress as standalone, please feel free to download the versions that exist right now. Download them daily, in case development ceases at some point. Right now, we’re continuing to fix bugs in the existing versions. After all the bugs are fixed it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.

And with a fork of bbPress you’d arguably have more control (heck, you can fork it now with one of the existing versions, create your own website and distribute the software) but you’d be hard pressed to match the community we have here. It may not be big, but it’s dedicated, and if you’re interested in seeing bbPress continue this is the best place to be.

xxx.com/rss is latest rss posts but how do i get latest rss topics ? without recent topic post.

i look at rss.php i found this

case 'all-topics':

if ( !$topics = get_latest_topics() )

die();



$posts = array();

foreach ($topics as $topic) {

$posts[] = bb_get_first_post($topic->topic_id);

}



$title = esc_html( sprintf( __( '%1$s » Recent Topics' ), bb_get_option( 'name' ) ) );

$link = bb_get_uri();

$link_self = bb_get_topics_rss_link();

break;

so how i get that rss feed ?

thanks

Just put this in your theme’s functions.php (create one if you don’t have one). Also put this in the beginning of code – <?php and this at the end – ?>

Hi there,

I’m working on a bbpress 1.0.2, wordpress 3.0 beta and buddypress 1.2.3 setup, but now I’m having problems with my bbpress. I did the same setup with 2.9.2 and that worked great, but I’m guessing WordPress 3.0 changed a lot.

Here’s what happened.

I installed wordpress normally with a different username than “admin” with my own password, all went well. After that I installed buddypress as a plugin, this went like it should as well. Then when I reached the bbpress installation (step 2), I entered all the secret keys and salt as I had them in my wp-config.php and pressed next step, it said that everything was validated but then in step 3 it let me choose a keymaster username, which I find odd since 2.9.2 didn’t. I entered a username/e-mail and finished the setup without a problem. No problems encounterd in the setup was said in the setup logs. Now here’s the strange thing, it made the tables in my database (which is the database that holds wordpress as well) but it did not make a bb-config.php file, so when I went to the URL of the main forum page, it gave me an error (which is when I discovert that there was no bb-config.php). It also made “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” in my database. I made bb-config.php myself after that with the same secret keys from wp-config and setup wp integration in bb-admin accordingly. This gave me shared cookie logins with my wordpress install (having bbpress intergration plugin installed in wordpress). But after having done all this, I cannot enter my bb-admin area anymore. I checked the files and figured out that the function bb_auth was causing me to be redirected to the main forum page.

So my question is, anyone solved this problem yet or can you help me solve it?

function bb_auth( $scheme = 'auth' ) { // Checks if a user has a valid cookie, if not redirects them to the main page

if ( !bb_validate_auth_cookie( '', $scheme ) ) {

nocache_headers();

if ( 'auth' === $scheme && !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', array( 're' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );

} else {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER ) );

}

exit;

}

}

Yury – I totally agree that we as a community need more control over things like docs, etc.! But I can’t see Matt giving FTP and database rights to us… maybe instead, we can download copies of the various releases and plugins and upload them to a backup server somewhere? And start some docs on another server, as you have.

Honestly – I would be shocked if Automattic shut down bbpress.org without warning. It would be a real black mark on Automattic’s reputation in the open source community, which is something Matt and his team are really proud of (and rightfully so). But if that’s something that a bunch of us are worried about, we can maybe create another thread to discuss how to prepare for that contingency.

Gautam – I’m not too worried about this next release, because Matt pretty clearly defined it before he disappeared:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64400

The next version though, we’ll definitely need to establish a clear direction – with or without Matt (but hopefully with him, or someone from Automattic!). But I’m not too worried about informing anyone… we’re posting on a public server, so it’s not like we’re hiding what we’re up to!

[johnhiler]

“And main question: Who is admin of this site with full access if Matt left project?”

Is that the part you’re referring to? I guess I’m not understanding what contingency we’re preparing for. Matt has already de facto left the project, and Chris has been doing a wonderful job of making steady progress towards the next release.

Is the concern that if bbpress.org is suddenly shut down, we won’t have a backup of the data? Sorry – just trying to get my head around your concern!

[jurasiks]

we’ve got 1 open ticket till 1.0.3 on trac?

sent another message to Matt, spam his Facebook page…

is he ignoring us?

fix post position

function fix_post_position() {

global $bbdb;

$get_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics ORDER BY topic_start_time ASC");

foreach( $get_topics as $get_topic ) {

$get_posttopic = $get_topic->topic_id;

$postorder = 1;

$get_posts = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE topic_id = '$get_posttopic' AND post_position = '1' ORDER BY post_time ASC");

echo fix_post_position in your template file and copy the sql query to your database

zaerl,

Apparently I need the second pair of eyes for when I post things here. ;o) I copied/pasted the redacted code, but didn’t add the BB_.

On the actual config file, they are:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

Hi Rabbitdk,

with manual coding it should be possible to display complete posts in wordpress.

I use the examples from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration to display an complete list of my forums and a short list of the newest topics.

http://www.mysteria3000.de/wp/

But I think – to make an original WordPress Post out of it – is not as easy as pure displaying.

hmmm….

For the last month I use the plugin ‘WordPress-bbPress syncronization’ (http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization). But these plugin does it the other way – make WordPress Post to Topics in bbPress and display answers (post in bbPress) as comments in WordPress. A skilled php developer can use this plugin and change some code to realize your idea.

Unfortunately I’m no developer

That’s why I asked, I can’t remember that (it was more than two years ago ver. 0.83)

If it works like for wordpress everything is cool.

No, from inside the bbpress forum, I want to send a topic to my WordPress front so it’s published like a ordinary blog post
