I currently am running bbpress 1.0.2. I am trying to insert a google adsense code on my right column/sidebar. My right column/sidebar is currently blank. However, no matter where I put the code, it always displays on my main/left column.

I read somewhere about putting an “includes” function to fetch the sidebar for wordpress. I’m not sure if it will work here?

Does anybody have any ideas they can share?

Thank you!

Holy F, i just tried it on my forum, and it’s working, WOW

Dear BBCoders…

I think it is small mistake but it is mistake. Your post editor lose it’s shape when we expand it with mouse click from bottom right corner. you should try to solve this small mistake and you should try to fix it’s width and height?

Hope all moderators will smile and take notice

here are it’s screen shots

Also you should try to solve this mistake in your post plugin

[merlin214365]

So after trying many plug-ins for meta data i found out that most don’t work at all with the newest version of bbpress and others do a poor job so i decided to write my own little php code no plug-in needed.

I wrote some php code to include a meta description based on the first 200 characters of the post and a default description if there is no post ( i.e the front-page ). Also meta keyword’s that displays any tags associated with that post as keywords.

So just add this to your header

<?php<br />
if ($posts) {<br />
foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class();<br />
$old=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean(); ob_start(); // you may leave ob_start();<br />
post_text();<br />
$out.=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean();<br />
endforeach;<br />
$out = preg_replace('#<p[^>]*>(s| ?)*</p>#', '', $out); // takes out <p><br />
$out = substr($out,0,200); // only displays the first 200 lines of the first post.<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="';<br />
echo $out;<br />
echo '">';<br />
}<br />
else {<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="This is your defalt description edit this to what ever you want ">'; // This displays when where is no post<br />
}<br />
global $tags;<br />
if (!empty($tags)) {<br />
$keywords=""; foreach ($tags as $t) {$keywords.=$t->raw_tag.', ';}<br />
echo "n".'<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.trim($keywords,", ").'">'."n"; // This displays any tags associated with that post as a keyword<br />
} ?>

Or you can just call get_user_profile_link(); function to get the simple link.

If the user is logged in, it will automatically get the user id.

Function can be found here –

Thanx for your reply.

Have tried fooling around with tags in ‘post.php’ until now, but it’s going nowhere

it must be possible? ..or?

[Klaus.Kuplen]

Hi,

I’m setting up a bbpress instance and noticed that the log files have to exist otherwise no logging takes place. This makes my beloved log file rotating impossible.

But if i edit class.bp-log.php and insert the following after lines in set_filename at about line 143

if (! file_exists($_filename)) {

@touch ($_filename);

}

This allowes me to do nice things like configure log files to

define( 'BB_LOG_FILENAME', $global_log_dir . 'bbpress-' . date("Y-m-d") . ".log");

There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment.

But does it work out-of-the-box already? It doesn´t for me.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

WordPress themes can’t be used for bbPress without modification, but if it’s a bbPress theme, then yep, just put it in its own directory under my-templates

[Andy Peatling]

For bbPress to continue moving forward it has to start seamlessly integrating with WordPress.

There are only two ways of doing that. Move WordPress so that it uses BackPress, or extract BackPress from bbPress and point it to the code existing in WordPress (if it is integrated). Moving WordPress to use BackPress is a considerable job and would likely need the attention of a completely new version number. In the short term the time it would take isn’t feasible for bbPress (or BuddyPress for that matter) to continue moving forward at a reasonable pace.

The second option is quite possible and has already been done. Despite it not being the truly “ideal” method for the long term it could be used without problems until WordPress moves to BackPress. There is code in BuddyPress that allows bbPress to install, configure and run all within the WordPress environment. If someone was willing to put some time in and extract this code into a plugin (or perhaps a core extension) then the job would almost be done.

The integration / abstraction code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php

The configuration / setup code is here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/bp-forums-admin.php

I’m happy to help someone along with this.

It is possible I would think. I am going to do some experimenting on it but if you are looking for a good plugin to deconstruct and learn from (what I am doing since I lack the skill to make something from scratch) then try looking at the Gaming Codes plugin.

[Ario]

I was going to hide it behind tags:

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

What I wanted to do was to replace the standard:

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

With other things including links for the “Your Profile”, “Edit (your) Profile”, PM Inbox, Memberslist, “Logout” etc.

Basically I am trying tp bypass the profile_menu() non-global status along the lines of this thread that I wasn’t able to work:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile_menu-doesnt-work-on-all-pages

I was trying to force the URL and trying to force such a global profile menu using:

<?php echo bb_option('uri'); ?>/profile/<?php echo bb_get_current_user_info( ' name ' ); ?>

But that is pretty ghetto and as you can see it outputs the display name not the username so thus can’t be used for getting a link to the user’s profile…

[Ario]

TinyMCE can work in just about any forum so there should be no reason it wouldn’t work.

As for videoquicktags do you mean like bbcode? It can be done fairly simply I believe but I am not good enough at PHP to deconstruct the bbcode-lite script to make it for you since that script is so heavily optomized.

Edit:

http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/html-purified/

Take a look at HTML purifier. It allows your user to use HTML but strips anything bad. That way you can use the regular YouTube embeds or whatever you like w/o need of a bbcode plugin.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

function bb_get_admin_link( $args = '' ) {

if ( !bb_current_user_can( 'moderate' ) )

return;

if ( $args && is_string($args) && false === strpos($args, '=') )

$args = array( 'text' => $args );



$defaults = array('text' => __('Admin'), 'before' => '', 'after' => '');

$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);



$uri = esc_attr( bb_get_uri('bb-admin/', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_ADMIN) );



return apply_filters( 'bb_get_admin_link', $before . '<a href="' . $uri . '">' . $text . '</a>' . $after, $args );

}

So if you don’t mind bypassing the moderation ability check, just use

esc_attr( bb_get_uri('bb-admin/', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_ADMIN) );

or

bb_get_uri('bb-admin/', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_ADMIN);

depending if you’ll be escaping the URL later.

To keep the check, use if ( bb_current_user_can( 'moderate' ) )

[Ario]

bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ ))

Is there any way to get the URL to the logged in user’s profile without all that “view your profile” junk it tacks onto the above call?

I am trying to customize my logged-in.php into something like:

<ul>

<li>Profile</li>

<li>Edit</li>

<li>PM</li>

<li>Favorites</li>

<li>Logout</li>

</ul>

Except I can never get it to pump out clean URLs

Hello.

Trying to get the extended user (profile) fields running. This was easy, the solution was relatively easy to find on the forums. But, .. always a but you know. My problem is to display this user information in the forum posts, how can I solve this? I would like to display this info below the gravatars.

(display only one userfield, not all of them. eg. would like to display a field called ‘distro’)

Relatively unexperienced with both WP and bbPress.

Thank you

[Jiyong]

BBpress is a very good forum, but the support in franch (the example for me) is nonexistent. So it’s a problem for the BBPress development in the world. Another problem, lack of consistent WordPress plugin -> bbpress (example : Avatar )

I like bbpress, I hope everything will change for the better …

[OKTeaRoom]

Hi, 2 problems and I hope you guys can help me out

1. I’m getting this error:

Warning: require_once(/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.2/lib/php’) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

I know that i defined the path incorrectly..i want it to say /htdocs/blog/wp-config.php and NOT htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php

How do i write it without it including the htdocs/forum part. (my blog is on my /blog directory and the forum is in the /forum directory). Sorry, i’m a hug newb but I’d appreciate some guidance.

Problem 2:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-blog-header.php:4) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/merchants/paypal_certified.php on line 741

That is showing up at the top of my blog. Any idea on how to tackle that?

Thanks

Bob

Hurrah……. I got it

Dear Sir johnhiler….. After conversation with you i was damn researching on this issue to solve this problem over the internet with your telling points. So after watching the video” http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress” I integrated my one bbpress ( Suppose bbpress01 ) to lonely wordpress. so my first “bbpress01” had been successful integrate with one wordpress and all cookies and users was set. so next i want to merge my other 24 bbpress install into this successful integration.

so my next working was;

i copy paste my bbpress01 rename it to bbpress02. then i went to the bb-config.php of bbpress02 and add these stuff in it:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb2_’;

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Note: database of all 25 bbpress and 1 wordpress was same just changing in tables prefix like bb1_, bb2_ bb3_ to bb25 and add just custom user table code.

you can i also view the screenshot of work here is it.

for wp-config.php: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8249/wpconfig.jpg

for bbpress01 bb-config.php: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6034/bb1su.jpg

for bbpress 02 bb-config.php: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2746/bb2xa.jpg

so here i was successful which i want.

1. share users

2. shared database

3. cookies integration

but “One” thing is still remain

if a user “john” login to my bbpress01. he should also show login status on my other 24 forums.

I think you can understand it. now i need cookies integration for other 24 bbpress.

cookies integration just was set b/w bbpress01 and wordpress. how can we set cookies for all my other remaining 24 forums.

I’ll be great thankful to you if you try to solve my final step and give me the smart solution.

waiting for your reply with great curiosity

[InvTrdr]

Thank you.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I think having gotten into plugin development with bbPress, a big part of what it needs is more documentation. One of the great advantages of WordPress is the ease with which additional functionality can be implemented, and bbPress is quite similar in that respect, but actually knowing how to implement it using the native functions available is currently a learnt skill, rather than something you can pick up from reading the Codex. As this thread shows, bbPress has a wide variety of uses and situations, so it’s important for it to be easily adaptable in order to grow.

Not too much to do with how bbPress develops as a codebase, but not too off-topic I hope

[johnhiler]

Ah ok.

1) Your first step is going to be to get all of the installs to use the same users table. Technically, you’ll want to follow steps similar to the ones described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps

However, your job will be greatly complicated by the fact that each install will have overlaps in terms of userid and usernames. For example, userid #5 on bbPress install #1 is going to refer to a different user than userid#5 on bbPress install#2. You’re going to have to address that – this link will help greatly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations

2) Phew, it’s good that they’re all in the same database… hopefully your WordPress install is also in the same database. This will simplify things a bit.

3) Ok, good to know.

I can’t offer custom help – I’m just a volunteer! But I’m glad to try and help you here, so others can learn from the discussion…

Here’s what I would recommend:

1) Your first step would be to backup all of your data.

2) Then, I’d setup a test environment exactly like your current environment and put your data there. That way, you can work on the integration with much less stress.

3) Then I would figure out how to deal with the userid and username overlap described above. This will probably be the hardest part!

4 ) Once you’ve figured that out, you’re all set to integrate all the installs to use the same usertable.

5) Finally once that’s done, you can also integrate the cookies so users only have to signin once!

If this sounds waaay too hard, you may want to hire a consultant or expert to help ya out! Here’s a list of people who are available:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic

[johnhiler]

I’m sorry to say this, but integrating your 25 installs is probably going to require more work than filling in a setting page.

A few questions for you:

1) You have 25 bbPress installs, and they are currently not sharing a user table… is that right? As in, if I sign up as “john” on one install… can I sign in with that username and password on another one of your bbPress installs?

2) If your bbPress installs are not sharing a user table… do you know if all of the user tables are in the same database?

3) Finally, what versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[johnhiler]

You should be able to access your Akismet spam queue at this URL:

htttp://yourdomain.com/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page

It should be linked under the Manage sub-tab, I think?

You can clear spam from there! I definitely check my spam queue a few times a day…
